Anti-Rebound Design

 

The anti-rebound bar built into CYBEX Infant Car Seats reduces the movement of the car seat towards the rear of the vehicle (rebound) in the event of a frontal crash, thereby reducing the potential for injury to the child.

Federal car seat safety standards require a frontal impact test with a 30-mph velocity change. This approximates the crash forces generated in a collision between a vehicle traveling 60 mph and a parked car of similar mass, or the energy produced in a fall from a three-story building. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a final rule in the summer of 2022 to add a side impact test protocol to the federal car seat safety standard. This rule goes into effect in August of 2025. 

At CYBEX, car seat safety is a top priority. That's why we have created the CYBEX Side Impact test protocol. The CYBEX Side Impact test protocol was developed by CYBEX engineers using state-of-the-art facilities. The rigorous test simulates the energy in the severe 5-star government side impact tests conducted for automobiles.

CYBEX Side-impact testing simulates a crash in which the vehicle carrying the car seat is struck on the side by another vehicle. An example of a real-life side-impact collision is when a car crossing an intersection is struck on the side by another car that ran a stop sign.

All CYBEX car seats meet or exceed all applicable Federal safety standards and CYBEX’s side impact standards.
For car seat safety that you can depend on, trust CYBEX. Shop our collection of side impact tested car seats today. 

Approximately one out of four vehicle crashes have a side impact component.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), impacts to the side of the vehicle rank almost equal to frontal crashes as a source of fatalities and serious injuries to children ages 0 to 12 years.
