Road trip ready, beep beep! We are checking off a bucket list item this weekend at Yosemite National Park. This has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember and this weekend is the perfect excuse to drive up and spend some family time together.
My husband loves to hike and explore nature so for him this is the perfect vacation. Since my husband works a 9-5 inside Los Angeles, he loves any excuse to get away and be with nature. We couldn’t imagine leaving Lila behind on any of our adventures so away we go!
At the top of my To Do list before we leave is installing a new car seat. As a mom every little thing worries me and car seat safety is one of those things. I did some research trying to find the right car seat that would put me at ease, and finally found, CYBEX Sirona M. It’s basically every parent’s dream car seat and the newest addition to the CYBEX Gold Car Seat family. Sirona M uses SensorSafe 2.0 which offers advanced child safety protection.
SensorSafe 2.0 integrates important safety technology into the chest clip of the car seat. SensorSafe 2.0 goes a step further to monitor the well being of the child while the vehicle is in motion. Whether you accidentally leave the child alone in the car or the child unbuckles herself, the essential alert will go off through both the vehicle receiver and the caregiver’s cellphone. There is a small vehicle receiver that is installed in the vehicle OBD2 port and that is what connects to the smartphone. If you are driving the car and can’t access the phone, the app is not required to receive the alerts.
This give me peace of mind to leave my worries at home and enjoy the trip ahead. I never know what’s going on back there with her car seat straps. But now I’m worry free since I will know if anything unsafe arrises in the backseat. I don’t know how I went this long without this family trip must have item.
p.s. At the bottom of this post I have rounded up all of my favorite things that I picked up to get us through this roadtrip.

Sounds like this carseat has great features. The sensor could definitely help to prevent the accidental deaths from kids left in cars (as an EM MD these are super hard cases).
I am so relived knowing something like this is out there for parents. I am always stressed out about what’s going on in her carseat when we are driving.
Oh my gosh this photo shoot is so precious! She looks so content!
Thanks Heather! She was excited for our trip and her new car seat 🙂
What an awesome bucket list adventure. Yosemite is gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing such an awesome road-trip item checklist. Great tips! Your girl is such a cutie. I love seeing more “gingers” out there. 😉 When I was growing up, being a redhead wasn’t cool yet, and now, everyone wants red hair!!
Hi! I love the car seat and I bought it, but I’m having problems to find the vehicle sensor receiver, where that’s supposed to be? I looked everywhere, i couldn’t find it in the box. ????????♀️
I would email Cybex!
The same thing happened to me today! Did you have any luck finding it/ getting one?
