Airbag Inspired Safety
For years, CYBEX Pallas 2-in-1 car seats have kept children safe from toddler to teen. The Pallas G2 is the new generation, the successor of the Pallas G i-Size with its award-winning impact shield technology. In a crash, the impact shield acts in a similar way to an inflated airbag, distributing force across a wide surface area and lowering the risk of neck injuries by 40%¹. Impact shields can be secured with a single click, and are comfortable, too: Parents can secure their children with a minimum of hassle, and kids prefer them to harnesses as they have more freedom to move². In a side impact, a reclining headrest helps keep the head in a safe position. This improves safety up to seven times³, while the Linear Side-impact Protection System Plus delivers up to 20% more protection⁴. All-round air ventilation and a one-hand seat recline guarantee a perfect traveling environment throughout childhood.

40% Reduction in Neck Injuries¹
The Pallas G2’s integrated impact shield acts like an inflated airbag, distributing force over a large surface area. This reduces the strain on the child's neck and head, reducing the risk of neck injuries by 40% compared to harness systems. Kids prefer impact shields as they don't restrict movement while keeping them snug and secure – all thanks to award-winning technology.
Easily Secures Your Child in Seconds
Take the stress out of getting your child in or out of the car. The compact, cushioned impact shield can be secured or released with one click and is easier to use than a harness system⁵. It can be easily adjusted to fit your growing child using only one hand. And a locking indicator helps you make sure it's correctly secured.
Usability from 15 months until approx. 12 years
This car seat will accompany your child throughout life’s most important growth phase: from toddler to approximately 12 years old. Use the impact shield until the child is 105 cm tall or weighs 21 kgs. Then remove the impact shield to use this 2-in-1 seat for longer.
Automatic three-point belt + ISOFIX + Top Tether OR automatic three-point belt
100-150 cm
After the impact shield is removed the child is secured with the vehicle's three-point seat belt. The seat belt also serves to install the Pallas G2 in the vehicle, with or without additional ISOFIX and top tether installation.
ISOFIX + Top Tether
76-105 cm
While the child is being secured by the impact shield, the Pallas G2 is installed in the car using ISOFIX and Top Tether.

Can I also use this seat in a car without ISOFIX anchorage points?
No, this seat can only be installed in vehicles with ISOFIX anchorage points, due to the fact that it must be installed with ISOFIX in every position. Only in vehicle belt mode (when the child is 100 – 150 cm in height) can this car seat be used without ISOFIX and top tether. Please refer to the User Guide.
Will the impact shield make my child feel constrained in the car seat?
The impact shield is not rigid and can be adjusted to give the growing child sufficient freedom of movement while also offering the best protection. It must also be adjusted to take the child's clothing into account (for example during winter, when the child may be wearing thicker clothes).
Can I use this car seat on a flight?
No, this car seat is not approved for use on an airplane.
Is it normal that the car seat’s backrest moves, and there is space between vehicle seat and car seat?
Yes, the backrest is adjustable. Therefore it can adapt perfectly to any vehicle seat. In the event of an accident, the backrest moves slightly forward with your child, and is therefore able to secure the whole body early on.
Is it ok to keep using a car seat after an accident?
We at CYBEX strongly recommend that you replace a car seat after any kind of accident. This is because tiny hairline cracks, which may not be visible to the naked eye, can appear in the plastic parts of a car seat after an accident. These cracks can pose an increased risk to safety.
My car seat is faulty, how can I get it repaired?
Please refer to the retailer where you bought your CYBEX car seat. They will deal with the matter on your behalf.
Where can I get replacement parts for my product?
You can order replacement parts from a specialist retailer near you. To find a store near you, simply go to the Store Locator on the CYBEX Website.
How do I correctly secure my child in the seat?
Please observe the instructions in the User Guide. Adjust the child car seat to the size of your child and make sure that he or she is properly strapped in to ensure maximum safety.
My child keeps trying to wiggle out of the impact shield. What can I do about this?
As with any other restraint system, a car seat can only fully protect your child if he or she is secured correctly and does not actively try to leave the car seat. Common issues include the opening of belt buckles, the pulling down of shoulder belts on car seats secured by a harness, or the child attempting to wiggle out of a car seat with an impact shield. Make sure that the impact shield is properly positioned and secured, sitting tightly against your child's body. Please also consider what clothes your child is wearing while seated in the car seat, as thick clothing reduces the protection offered by the impact shield. Please refer to the User Guide. If your child attempts to wiggle out of the impact shield please safely stop the vehicle and explain to your child the importance of staying in the car seat. Make it clear that the journey cannot be continued without proper protection.
Is it okay to install this car seat on the passenger seat?
We generally recommend using the car seat on one of the back seats of the vehicle. Statistically, installing the car seat on the passenger seat poses a higher risk of injury for your child. However, in exceptional cases the car seat may be used on the passenger seat as well. Please note the following: if the car is equipped with an airbag, put the passenger seat as far back as possible. Please ensure that the upper belt point of the 3-point vehicle belt always stays behind the belt routing of the car seat, so that the belt runs backwards and not forwards. To find out whether a specific CYBEX car seat can be installed on the passenger seat, please use the Car Compatibility Tool on the CYBEX website.
How can I clean my car seat?
Car seats can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner or damp cloth. Sand or other dirt beneath the cover can also be removed in this way. To clean the plastic parts of the car seat wipe them with a cloth using a mild detergent and warm water. (Warning: Please do not use chemical detergents or bleaching agents under any circumstances.) Please note that a car seat should never be dismantled for cleaning. Please always refer to your car seat’s User Guide when carrying out care and maintenance on your car seat. Generally the seat covers are machine washable at a maximum temperature of 30˚C on a delicate cycle. If you wash them at a higher temperature, the cover fabric might lose its color or shrink. Please wash the cover separately and never dry it by machine or in direct sunlight. (Warning: Only the cover of the car seat can be machine washed. The car seat itself is not machine washable.) Should you wish to clean a car seat more thoroughly than recommended above, you will have to have it cleaned professionally. Please ask the retailer who sold you the car seat to refer you to a professional service.
How should the headrest be adjusted?
Only a headrest adjusted to the optimum height will give your child the best possible protection and comfort. The height can be adjusted to various positions. The headrest must be adjusted so there is no more than 2 cm between the child’s shoulders and the bottom of the headrest.
Can I use the car seat on laterally-facing vehicle seats?
It is not permitted to use the car seat on laterally-facing vehicle seats.
How do I position the impact shield so that my child is secured properly?
As a general rule, you can secure your child in the safest possible way if you follow these instructions. The impact shield should be positioned so it fits snug against the body without causing discomfort. The impact shield can also be lowered or raised for a comfortable fit on nearly all models. You can tell that the impact shield is in the correct position if it is fully aligned with your child's body. Thick clothing prevents the harness/vehicle belt or impact shield from lying tight against the body. Only a correctly adjusted restraint system can offer maximum protection. For this reason, your child should wear thin, well-fitted clothing. Thick clothing such as winter jackets and clothing with hoods (hoodies, teddy suits, etc.) as well as hats should be avoided. Once your child has been positioned in the seat, he or she can be covered with a blanket for warmth.
The ISOFIX System is impossible or very difficult to release from the ISOFIX anchorage points in the vehicle. What can I do?
Sometimes the ISOFIX System may be difficult to release from the anchorage points. Please increase the distance between the car seat and the vehicle seat by releasing the ISOFIX using the adjustment button and pulling the car seat away from the vehicle seat. By following these steps, you will release any tension from the System which should help with the de-installation.
Where should I install a car seat in my car?
Although it may be possible to install a CYBEX car seat on other seats in the vehicle, the safest place for a car seat is in the rear seat, behind the front passenger seat. We advise you to refer to the Car Compatibility Tool on the CYBEX Website. You can scan the dedicated QR-Code on your Quick Start Guide or use the specific weblink, provided on the Packaging Box, to access the Car Compatibility Tool for your product.
What should I bear in mind when installing the car seat in my vehicle?
Before purchasing the car seat, it is important to check if it is approved to be used in your vehicle. The vehicle must have an i-Size seating position that is compatible with an i-Size child car seat. If you have no i-Size seating position, please scan the dedicated QR-Code on your "Quick Start Guide" or use the specific weblink provided on the Packaging Box, to access the Car Compatibility Tool of your product. Pallas Series car seats can be used without impact shield (100 cm – 150 cm child stature) on vehicle seats which are equipped with an automatic 3-point vehicle belt. For proper protection of your child, it is essential to use and install the car seat according to the instructions given in the User Guide. It can be downloaded via the CYBEX Website. (Please do not mix any parts of your car seat with parts from other manufacturers or from different CYBEX product lines).
Can I use the car seat on rear-facing vehicle benches (e.g. in vans or minibuses)?
With the impact shield (76 cm-100 cm) you cannot use the car seat on rear-facing vehicle benches. Without impact shield (100 cm-150 cm) you can use this car seat on rear-facing vehicle benches as long as the vehicle bench is approved for use by adults and has a 3-point vehicle belt. The headrest of the vehicle bench should not be removed when fitting on a rear-facing seat.
Can I use the car seat even when the side airbag is activated?
Yes, the side airbag can remain activated when using the car seat.
Are both side-impact protectors (L.S.P.s) needed?
The Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P.) reduces the forces of a side-impact collision and thus also the risk of injury. Generally, we advise parents to install or fold out the L.S.P. on both sides of the car seat. However, if there is insufficient space for the L.S.P. nearest the middle of the vehicle, it is not absolutely essential. For safety reasons, please ensure that the L.S.P. nearest the door is always installed or folded out.
Do high-back booster seats perform better than booster seats?
When compared to booster seats, high-back booster seats considerably reduce the risk of injury. Booster seats do not provide proper protection from side-impacts, whereas a high-back booster seat is equipped with side protection. This protects the child from injury in the case of a side collision. High-back booster seats also include a shoulder belt routing which can be adjusted to the height of the child, further improving their travelling safety.
Is material fatigue an issue because of the long period of time the car seat can be used for?
CYBEX uses high-quality and extremely age-resistant plastics and fabrics in its products to prevent wear and tear. Pallas car seats can be used for over 10 years. However, nothing lasts forever and over time even the high-quality-plastics we use can display certain age-related changes. Therefore, we strongly recommend that our car seats are not used for longer than the prescribed usage periods.
If my car rolls over, will my child fall out of a car seat that is fitted with an impact shield?
No, all car seats approved in compliance with UN R44/04 and UN R129 are subjected to tests, in which the car is rolled in four different directions. This rigorous testing proves that a child cannot fall out of one of our car seats fitted with an impact shield in the event of a rollover.
The car seat is approved in compliance with the i-Size standard (UN R129). What does this mean?
i-Size is a European standard for car seats. Among other regulations i-Size states that infants must travel in a rear-facing position before the child's age exceeds 15 months and that, for the first time, side-impact protection is tested. To find out more about i-Size, check our Safety page on the CYBEX Website.
When does a car seat expire?
As soon as a car seat is installed in a vehicle, it may be exposed to high temperatures and high levels of light intensity. As a result, even high-quality and extremely age-resistant plastics such as those used by CYBEX can display certain age-related alterations. To ensure the safety of your child, we strongly recommend that the seats are not used for longer than the prescribed usage periods. A car seat will be designed to keep your child safe for a specific period in their development, for example from birth to approximately 4 years old for a Sirona Series seat. Sometimes they can be used for longer, for example our products for babies and toddlers can also be used for a sibling. To find out the approximate lifespan of your CYBEX car seat, refer to the User Guide or contact our Customer Service.
What kind of clothing should my child wear when seated in the car seat?
Thick clothing prevents the harness/vehicle belt or impact shield from lying tight against the body of the child. Only a correctly adjusted restraint system can offer maximum protection. For this reason, your child should wear everyday clothing. Thick clothing such as winter jackets and clothing with hoods (e.g. hoodies) as well as hats should be avoided where possible. Once your child has been positioned in the car seat, he/she can be covered with an extra blanket for warmth.
Can I use a Pallas car seat without the impact shield?
Whether you can use a Pallas car seat without an impact shield depends on the size and weight of your child. For more information, please refer to the User Guide of your Pallas child car seat.
What is the maximum diameter of a bottle to still fit in the cup holder?
The diameter of a bottle should not be larger than 7 cm.
Can the Pallas G2 Impact Shield also be used on other Pallas car seat models?
No, this impact shield is only approved for use with the Pallas G2 car seat and therefore must not be used with any other Pallas car seat model.
What are the two main positions for the reclining headrest?
The reclining headrest is a passive safety feature from CYBEX. If your child is awake, you can set the recline angle of the headrest to the upright position and when they are asleep, you can set the angle to the reclined position. This prevents the child’s head from tipping forward into a vulnerable position while sleeping and keeping it up to seven times safer.
How do I adapt the Pallas to secure my child with a 3-point vehicle belt?
To change the Pallas to the 3-point vehicle belt configuration you only have to remove the impact shield. Please follow the instructions in the user guide on how to remove the impact shield and change the configuration. The child is then secured by the 3-point vehicle belt. You can convert the Pallas after your child exceeds a height of 100 cm. This is not mandatory however, and you can continue to use the Pallas car seat with the impact shield until your child reaches 105 cm in height. However it is obligatory to detach the impact shield once the child has reached 21 kg.
How does the sleeping position work?
The sleeping position is easily adjustable with only one hand, allowing for a more comfortable position for the child. To recline the car seat it is not necessary to open the car belt system or to take the child out of the seat. The relevant lever is conveniently located on the front side of the seat. If the child falls asleep or is about to when they are already in the car seat, just pull the handle and the seat slides down automatically.
How do I install the cup holder?
You can easily install the cup holder by sliding it into one of two slots in the car seat shell, positioned on the side of the booster part of the seat. The positions of the slots are indicated by cup holder symbols.
What is the Top Tether used for?
The Top Tether serves as an upper anchor point for a child car seat and is usually fixed to an anchorage point accessed via the trunk of the car. This provides extra stabilization for the car seat and prevents rotation in the event of an accident. Installation with the Top Tether is mandatory when the seat is used in the impact shield mode. If you’re unable to find the Top Tether anchor in your car, please refer to your vehicle manual.
