Cybex Car Seats – the Eternis S with SensorSafe

Cybex Car Seat Review: Why The Eternis S With Sensorsafe Is The Only Car Seat You Need

The Cybex Eternis S car seat with SensorSafe 2.1 is an all-in-one carseat for babies from birth to age 10. New parents are often torn on the decision of whether to start their baby off in an infant only carseat, but these are quickly outgrown making them less cost effective for a family in the long run. With a convertible all-in-one, a family can purchase one car seat that will take their baby home from the hospital, to the drop-off line that first day of kindergarten, and even through most of elementary school.

When shopping for baby gear, especially car seats, with so many choices out there it is all about shopping smarter, not harder. The Cybex Eternis S car seat provides a durable steel reinforced frame with advanced child safety protection and comfort features making this literally the safest car seat for your baby for the first 10 years of their life.

What is SensorSafe & How it Works

SensorSafe technology is a monitoring system that continually evaluates your baby’s environment while he or she is strapped into their car seat. SensorSafe is next generation technology available as an additional safety feature in a majority of Cybex car seats to include the Eternis S. Originally developed to prevent the number of accidental infant deaths in hot vehicles, the Cybex car seat safety design, SensorSafe 2.1, has been expanded to cover a range of additional situations.

The Cybex Eternis S car seat with SensorSafe 2.1 monitors your child through the integrated smart chest clip when synced with the vehicle and the parent’s smartphone. Provided with the Cybex car seat is an easy to install receiver that is simply plugged into the vehicle receptor and connected to the app via Bluetooth technology. Not only does SensorSafe alert the parent or caregiver when the child is left behind in the car, but now provides additional alerts if a child unbuckles themselves while the vehicle is in motion, if the backseat has become too hot or too cold, and if a child has been in the carseat too long.

Through the use of the app, SensorSafe sends timed alerts to the caregiver’s phone once the car has been placed in motion and the chest slip secured if any of the concerning scenarios occur. Further, the app provides the caregiver a certain amount of time to respond. If a response is NOT effectuated timely, the app then begins sending alerts to the parent or caregiver’s emergency contacts set up through the app on their smartphone.
