Meet the Cybex Callisto: The Convertible Car Seat That Does It All

If you’ve ever twisted your back trying to buckle in a toddler or wished your car seat could just do more, the Cybex Callisto G 360 is about to be your new favorite parenting sidekick.

And if you’ve seen the Callisto G 360 Select and wondered what sets it apart — you’re not alone. Both models check every safety box, look gorgeous in your backseat, and make everyday drives a whole lot smoother. But there are a few key differences that might make one a better fit for your family. Let’s break it down in real-parent terms.

What Makes the Callisto So Popular

The Callisto isn’t just a car seat — it’s basically your car’s new best friend. It’s an all-in-one convertible seat designed to grow with your child from birth through booster stage (roughly 4 to 120 lbs — yes, that long!).

You can use it rear-facing for little ones, forward-facing for toddlers, and eventually as a booster when you’re ready for the big-kid years.

Here’s what parents love about both versions:

  • 360° rotation — the holy grail of easy buckling. Just swivel, click, and go.

  • SafetyAssure Protection System — a powerful combo of an anti-rebound base, side-impact protection, and a secure tether that makes it up to 37% safer in a crash.

  • Comfy recline and padding — so your little one can snooze while you hit the road.

  • Sleek, modern design — because baby gear can be safe and stylish.

Basically, both seats are like a personal assistant for carpool chaos — keeping your kid comfy, your back intact, and your mornings a little more manageable.

Callisto G 360 vs. Callisto G 360 Select — What’s the Difference?

Both versions share the same rock-solid safety features and that glorious 360° spin, but they differ in a few parent-worthy details.

The Callisto G 360 is the fully loaded model. It includes Cybex’s SensorSafe™ smart chest clip, which alerts you if your child unbuckles mid-drive or if the car gets too hot or cold. It also comes with extra comfort touches like a built-in sun canopy, breathable fabrics, and magnetic buckle holders that make buckling in a total breeze.

The Callisto G 360 Select keeps all the same core safety features and that beloved rotation but simplifies the setup a bit. It skips the SensorSafe tech and a few of the extras, focusing instead on premium feel and clean design. It’s still every bit as safe, just with a more minimal, refined vibe.

Think of it this way:

  • The Callisto G 360 is like the deluxe SUV — loaded with every smart feature imaginable.

  • The Callisto G 360 Select is the sleek, streamlined version — less tech, same safety, still a total showstopper.

Why Parents Love the Callisto Line

  • One seat, many years. Use it from the newborn stage all the way to booster mode.

  • No back-twisting gymnastics. The 360° rotation saves you (and your spine).

  • Built for naps. Cushioned, reclinable, and cozy enough for road-trip snoozes.

  • Smart and stylish. Whether you’re into high-tech safety (G 360) or chic simplicity (Select), both look amazing in your car.
