They do not have control over my content, and I always provide my honest opinion. The Cybex Anoris T2 i-Size is a child car seat that aims to redefine safety with its revolutionary full-body airbag technology. This innovative system offers up to 50% more protection compared to standard forward-facing seats, setting a new standard in child passenger safety. Designed for durability, the Anoris T2 i-Size can accommodate children from 15 months to approximately 7 years old (76 cm – 125 cm, max 21 kg). This extended usability surpasses many similar seats by up to three years, justifying its higher price point. In the interest of transparency, I do not have a child, and this is my first review of a car seat. I collaborated with a family friend to test the seat with their 4-year-old child and gather feedback on both the car seat and their overall experience with car seats. **Features** **Up to 50% Higher Safety Levels – Cybex Airbag Technology** The Anoris T2 i-Size leads the way in child car seat technology, featuring a full-body C-shaped airbag integrated into its impact shield. In the event of a frontal collision, the airbag inflates within milliseconds to protect your child's head, neck, and body. This technology offers a safety level up to 50% higher than traditional forward-facing car seats. **Direct Eye-Contact – Forward-Facing for Direct Interaction** The forward-facing design of the Anoris T2 i-Size allows you and your child to face the world together without compromising safety. Studies show that parents prefer forward-facing car seats to maintain eye contact via the rear-view mirror, enhancing communication and strengthening the parent-child bond. **Freedom to Move – Small Impact Shield, Limitless Legroom** With a compact, cushioned impact shield and a cleverly designed airbag, this seat provides ample space for your child to move their upper body. The forward-facing design ensures your child has enough legroom to stretch comfortably during long journeys. **Precision-Fit Securing, Weightless Feeling – Intuitive, Depth-Adjustable Impact Shield** Installation is easy with the innovative, one-click impact shield. Adjustable depth settings ensure a precise fit. Research shows that an impact shield is more likely to be correctly fastened than a harness. The smart design keeps the child secure yet free to move, giving a weightless feel to the impact shield. **Up to 6x More Breathability – All-Round Air Ventilation** The Anoris T2 i-Size offers a breezy journey with its all-round air ventilation and smart mesh fabric, which is up to six times more breathable than comparable materials. Strategically placed ventilation holes allow air to circulate, providing extra comfort with a specially upholstered impact shield (PLUS Fabric version only). **Long Usability – From >15 Months to Approx. 7 Years** Enjoy extended safety with a spacious seat designed to accommodate children up to seven years old – three years longer than comparable car seats. Transitioning to the 3-point seatbelt is easy and safer when the time comes. The adjustable impact shield and headrest ensure a perfect fit at any age, while the integrated airbag offers unparalleled protection across a range of body sizes (76 cm – max. 125 cm and 21 kg). **Sun Protection – Integrated Sun Canopy** A retractable UPF50+ sun canopy provides excellent sun protection and shields your child from external distractions. A mesh window enhances airflow, keeping your child fresh on the move (mesh window part is not UPF50+). **Reduces Side-Impact Forces by 20% – Advanced Linear Side-Impact Protection** Side crashes account for 25% of accidents, but the Anoris T2 i-Size's Advanced Linear Side-impact Protection reduces impact forces by up to 20%. This technology transfers the forces into the car seat's energy-absorbing shell and headrest. The protective wings automatically fold out upon unpacking, simplifying installation. **Effortless Installation – ISOFIX and Load Leg** Stabilised by ISOFIX and a load leg, the Anoris T2 i-Size ensures a strong connection with your vehicle. Installation is intuitive, aided by onboard safety LED indicators that confirm the seat is correctly set up and ready to protect. **Perfect Sleeping Position – 3 Recline Positions** Recline the seat to provide your child with a comfortable sleeping position during car rides. Three recline settings allow you to find the ideal position. An accessible adjustment handle lets you recline the seat without disturbing your child if they fall asleep sitting up. **Central LED Indicators** A car seat can only protect if properly installed. The onboard safety assistant ensures correct installation every time. LED indicators display the status of the ISOFIX, load leg, impact shield, and battery, allowing you to confirm your child's safety at a glance and drive with confidence. **Specification** - Age range: From >15 months up to approx. 7 years - Child height: 76 – 125 cm - Child weight: up to 21 kg - Isofix installation: Yes - Reclines: Yes - Forward or rearward facing: Forward - Compatible with: Summer Cover; Car Seat Cup Holder; ISOFIX Guides - Approval regulation: UN R129/03 **Cybex Anoris T2 vs Cybex Anoris T** The Anoris T2 i-Size builds upon the success of its predecessor, the Anoris T i-Size, with several key improvements. The most notable changes include: - Extended size range: The T2 accommodates children up to 125cm, compared to 115cm for the original Anoris T. - Smaller impact shield: The T2's impact shield is 25% smaller, providing more space for the child. - Improved shield securing: The T2 features a spacer system that is rigid, depth-adjustable, and weightless, compared to the belted system of the original Anoris T. - Enhanced ventilation: The T2 incorporates mesh fabrics and a breathable car seat shell for improved air circulation. **Safety** The Cybex Anoris T2 i-Size has undergone rigorous testing to meet and exceed safety standards. It complies with the UN R129/03 regulation, which is part of the i-Size standard. This standard focuses on side-impact protection and keeping children rear-facing for longer. The seat's airbag technology has been extensively tested to ensure rapid deployment and effective protection in frontal collisions. The Advanced L.S.P. system has also been proven to reduce side-impact forces significantly. **Unboxing / Design** The Anoris T2 i-Size uses ISOFIX anchors and a load leg for secure installation. The seat includes onboard safety LED indicators that confirm correct installation, giving parents peace of mind. The impact shield is designed for easy, one-click securing, with adjustable depth settings for a precise fit. Parents will appreciate the intuitive design of the Anoris T2 i-Size. The one-click impact shield makes securing the child quick and straightforward. The LED indicators provide clear feedback on correct installation, reducing the risk of user error. **Comfort** The Anoris T2 i-Size prioritizes comfort with its all-around air ventilation system and smart mesh fabric, which is up to six times more breathable than comparable materials. The seat offers three recline positions, allowing parents to adjust for optimal comfort during sleep. A retractable UPF50+ sun canopy is integrated into the design, protecting the child from sun and providing a shield from busy surroundings. The mesh window in the canopy enhances airflow, though it's worth noting that this part does not offer UPF50+ protection. **Pros and Cons** **Pros:** - Innovative airbag technology for enhanced safety - Extended usability from 15 months to approximately 7 years - Advanced side-impact protection - Comfortable and well-ventilated design - Easy installation with clear safety indicators - Adjustable features to accommodate growing children **Cons:** - Higher price point compared to conventional car seats - Forward-facing only, which may not appeal to parents preferring extended rear-facing options - Large size may not be suitable for smaller vehicles or multi-car seat setups **Price and Alternative Options** The Cybex Anoris T2 has an RRP of £639.95, making it one of the more expensive options on the market.
