Introduction

This manual provides essential information for the safe and proper use, installation, and maintenance of your Cybex Cloud G Base. Please read all instructions carefully before use and keep this manual for future reference.

The Cybex Cloud G Base is designed to be used exclusively with the Cybex Cloud G and Cloud G Lux Comfort Extend infant car seats, providing a secure and convenient attachment point in your vehicle.

Important Safety Information

Always prioritize safety. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.

• Ensure the base is securely installed in the vehicle using either the rigid LATCH connectors or the vehicle's seat belt system.
• Always check the safety indicators to confirm correct installation.
• Verify the recline indicator shows the proper angle for the infant car seat.
• Never use the base if it has been involved in a crash, even if there is no visible damage.
• Do not modify the base in any way. Use only original Cybex parts and accessories.
• Keep this manual accessible for quick reference.

Setup and Installation

The Cybex Cloud G Base offers two primary installation methods: Rigid LATCH and Vehicle Seat Belt.

1. Rigid LATCH Installation

1. Position the Base: Place the Cloud G Base on the vehicle seat where it will be installed. Ensure the vehicle seat is suitable for car seat installation.
2. Extend LATCH Connectors: Locate the rigid LATCH connectors on the base. Extend them fully.
3. Connect to Vehicle Anchors: Align the LATCH connectors with the vehicle's lower LATCH anchors. Push the base firmly until the connectors click securely into place.
4. Verify Connection: Pull on the base to ensure it is tightly secured and does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
5. Check Safety Indicators: Observe the safety indicators on the base. They should change color (e.g., from red to green) to confirm correct installation.
6. Adjust Recline: Use the recline indicator to ensure the base is at the proper angle for your infant car seat. Adjust as necessary.

2. Vehicle Seat Belt Installation

If LATCH anchors are not available or preferred, the base can be installed using the vehicle's seat belt.

1. Position the Base: Place the Cloud G Base on the vehicle seat.
2. Route Seat Belt: Thread the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt through the designated belt path on the base.
3. Buckle and Tighten: Buckle the seat belt. Engage the SAFELOCK Belt Tensioner system to remove slack from the seat belt, ensuring a tight and secure fit.
4. Verify Connection: Pull on the base to ensure it is tightly secured and does not move more than one inch side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path.
5. Check Safety Indicators: Confirm the safety indicators show correct installation.
6. Adjust Recline: Ensure the recline indicator shows the proper angle.

Operating Instructions

Once the Cloud G Base is securely installed in your vehicle, you can attach and detach the compatible Cybex infant car seat.

Attaching the Infant Car Seat

1. Align Car Seat: Position the Cybex Cloud G infant car seat directly above the installed base.
2. Lower onto Base: Gently lower the infant car seat onto the base until you hear a distinct "click" sound, indicating it is securely latched.
3. Verify Connection: Pull upwards on the car seat handle to ensure it is firmly attached to the base and does not lift off.
4. Check Indicators: Confirm any additional safety indicators on the car seat or base confirm a correct connection.

Detaching the Infant Car Seat

1. Locate Release Handle: Find the car seat release handle or button, typically located at the back or front of the infant car seat where it connects to the base.
2. Activate Release: Squeeze or press the release mechanism.
3. Lift Car Seat: While holding the release, lift the infant car seat straight up and off the base.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and safety of your Cybex Cloud G Base.

• Cleaning: The base can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Fabric Care: Refer to the care instructions for the infant car seat fabric, as the base itself does not have removable fabric components for washing.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the base for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Check the LATCH connectors, belt path, and all plastic and metal components.
• Storage: Store the base in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Note: The "Hand Wash Only" care instruction listed in product specifications typically refers to fabric components of the associated car seat, not the base itself. For the base, a simple wipe-down is recommended.
