What's The Difference? Cybex Cloud T vs. Cloud G Luxe Infant Car Seat

With all the infant car seats out there, it's sometimes hard to know what's the right one for you. Today we're breaking down the Cybex Cloud T vs. Cloud G Luxe Infant Car Seat, two popular choices in the Cybex line. These are two super safe models of car seat that look great and have loads of functionality. They both have load legs, they both recline, so what's the big diff? 

Before we go through the differences between the Cloud T vs. Cloud G car seat, let's take a look at each of them individually. 

Cloud G Luxe Infant Car Seat With Sensorsafe

At Babesta, we have chosen the Cloud G Luxe infant car seat over the Cloud G for the store as the Luxe offers a base with a load leg. This is one of the features we always look for as it's essential for safety, absorbing the energy in case of a crash and stabilizing the seat. If you have a car, it's well worth it in peace of mind.

Another great feature of the Cloud G Luxe is the European Belt Router, also a city-essential, allowing you to install the seat super safely without the base. (Who wants to carry around a car seat base? Answer: No one!) This means Ubers and Taxis are a snap. Just install the seat rear facing using the seat belt method: the lapbelt across the front and the shoulder harness looped around the back, through the European belt router.

Besides that, here are the vital stats of the Cloud G:

Dimensions of Seat

26.5"-30" x 17.6" x 15.8"-23"

Weight of Seat

12lbs

Max/Min For Child

Height: 32"
Weight: 4-35 lbs

Key Features:

Near-flat recline, Linear side-impact protection, anti-rebound base with load leg, smart SensorSafe technology, optimal breathability, travel system ready

Cloud T Infant Car Seat With Sensorsafe

Comparing the Cloud G Luxe vs. Cloud T , we notice that these seats are substantially the same. In fact, they have the same features (both recline, have load legs, side impact protection, and European belt router), the same weight and can hold the same size child. Here are the vital stats of the Cloud T:

Dimensions of Seat

26.5"-30" x 17.6" x 15.8"-23"

Weight of Seat

12lbs

Max/Min For Child

Height: 32"
Weight: 4-30 lbs

Key Features:

Near-flat recline, Linear side-impact protection, anti-rebound base with load leg, smart SensorSafe technology, optimal breathability, travel system ready

The Difference: Cloud T vs. Cloud G Luxe Infant Car Seat

The difference between the two seats is mostly aesthetic, the Cloud T with a more premium fabric, aligning it well to Cybex's Platinum line of strollers --- the Priam, Mios, and Coya. The other small difference between them is with the Cloud T they have made the recline mechanism smoother and easier which is nice!

One last difference: The max weight for the Cloud T is 5 pounds less than the Cloud G --- though 9 times out of 10, the child will grow out of the height before growing out of the max weight of these seats.

But, keep in mind that difference comes at a fairly steep price, as the Cloud T with SensorSafe is $100 more ($550) as compared to the Cloud G Luxe ($450).
