Solution G2 Booster Seat

The Solution G2 by Cybex is a high-back booster built for exactly the kind of life a lot of our NYC families live: kids who ride in more than one car. Between taxis, Ubers, and weekend rentals, switching seats between vehicles and then carrying them around is a real headache, and the Solution G2 solves it by being lightweight with a useful fold.

At just 12.8 lbs with a built-in carry handle, it's light enough to move between cars, into a cab trunk, or onto a flight without a fight. It folds down to a compact shape for storage, self-stands when not in use, and covers a wide age and size range, so families aren't shopping for a new booster every year or two as their kid grows.

Specifications

Best For/Not For

Best For

•          Families juggling more than one car (grandparents, rentals, road trips) who need a booster that travels well

•          City families who rely on cabs, car services, or the occasional rental and want something light and self-standing for storage

•          Parents looking for one booster that lasts from early elementary through the tween years (40–120 lbs, up to 60")

•          Kids who fall asleep on long drives, since the reclining headrest helps keep their head supported and in position

Not Ideal for

•          Children under about 40 lbs or 43.3" tall who still need a harnessed seat

•          Families who need a 5-point harness (this is a booster that works with the vehicle's own seat belt, not a harnessed seat)

•          Households that don't own or regularly ride in a car, since the seat's portability is its main advantage and that's less relevant for a subway-only family

Is It Suitable for My Baby's Age?

Booster Stage (Approx. 4–12 Years)

The Solution G2 is a single-stage, belt-positioning high-back booster, not a harnessed seat, so it's designed for kids who are ready to ride using the car's own seat belt: roughly 40 to 120 lbs and 43.3" to 60" tall. The height-adjustable headrest and flexible side wings mean the same seat grows with your child through most of this range rather than needing to be swapped out partway through.

Is It Good for NYC/City Use?

This is where the Solution G2 earns its keep for a city family. At 12.8 lbs with a carry handle and a fold that shrinks its footprint by roughly a third, it's genuinely practical to bring along on the subway, taxi or cab trips, or pack for a weekend away, and the self-standing fold means it's not sprawled across a closet floor between uses.

Compared to the UPPAbaby Alta V2 (about 17 lbs, 40–100 lbs / 38"–57" range, rigid shell with no fold) and the Clek Oobr (about 20 lbs in high-back mode, 40–100 lbs / 38"–57" range, also non-folding), the Solution G2 is both the lightest and the only one of the three built to fold flat for storage or transport, while also covering a higher weight and height ceiling at 120 lbs and 60". 

Safety Features

Linear Side-impact Protection System Plus (L.S.P. System Plus)

An integrated energy-absorbing shell helps redirect side-impact force away from your child, reducing crash forces by up to 20% compared to the same seat without the L.S.P. system.

Patented Reclining Headrest

The reclining headrest is designed to keep your child's head within the seat's safety zone, which Cybex reports offers up to 7x improvement in head protection compared to the head being out of that zone in the same product during ADAC side-impact testing.

GREENGUARD Gold Certified

Tested for low chemical emissions and VOCs, meeting some of the strictest indoor air quality standards available, a relevant certification for a seat your child spends real time in.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age and size is the Solution G2 designed for?

It's built for children roughly 4 to 12 years old, weighing 40 to 120 lbs, and 43.3" to 60" tall.

Does it have a 5-point harness?

No. This is a belt-positioning booster seat, meaning it uses the vehicle's own seat belt rather than a built-in harness. It's intended for kids who've outgrown a harnessed car seat.

Can the headrest recline?

Yes. The patented reclining headrest helps keep your child's head supported and within the seat's safety zone, which is especially useful on longer drives when kids tend to fall asleep.

Is it actually foldable, and how much space does that save?

Yes. The Small Fold Genius design folds the seat down to a compact shape that takes up to a third less storage space than it does unfolded, and it self-stands when folded.

How much does it weigh?

12.8 lbs, with a built-in carry handle for moving it between cars, into cabs, or through the subway.

Is it GREENGUARD Gold Certified?

Yes. It's tested for low chemical emissions and VOCs, meeting some of the strictest indoor air quality standards available.

What's included with the seat?

The Solution G2 booster seat and a user guide. A compatible Car Seat Cup Holder is available as an accessory.
