What to know

Certified for 6 years from the date of manufacture; the date and expiration are on the sticker on the bottom of the carrier. Check Cybex's recall lookup for early Aton G units.

The date of manufacture is on the seat itself. The date of manufacture and expiration information are on a sticker on the seat; on infant seats it is on the bottom of the carrier. The period of use is also stated in the instruction manual.

Safety note: SeatCheck summarizes manufacturer and NHTSA guidance, but the label on your own seat and its manual are the final word. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer with your model and serial number.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Cybex Aton G good for?
The Cybex Aton G has a useful life of 6 years from its date of manufacture. The exact date is printed on the seat's own label, so check the sticker on the shell or base rather than counting from the purchase date.
Where is the expiration date on the Cybex Aton G?
The date of manufacture and expiration information are on a sticker on the seat; on infant seats it is on the bottom of the carrier. The period of use is also stated in the instruction manual.
Should I replace the Aton G after a crash?
Cybex advises replacing a car seat that has been involved in an accident, because hairline cracks in the plastic can be invisible while still compromising protection. US manuals instruct owners to stop using a seat after a crash; contact Cybex or the retailer with the crash details before reusing any Cybex seat, and lean on your auto insurance for the replacement.
