Its shell is a little cleaner than other seats because it's open, allowing you to wipe away grime from the buckle areas and the seat back. It comes with two cup holders with an elastomer rim. However, they are too small for larger snacks or sippy cups. The crotch cover is difficult to remove, and children may complain that it pinches them when they sit in the seat. The cover also covers long stiff belt stalks, which can be difficult for older children to use when buckled up in booster mode. The seat has a more rigid path than its rivals and is therefore more difficult to set up and may require assistance from an adult. The Pria rear-facing seat comes with three crotch straps which are different in terms of size and position. However they can only be used for children who weigh up to 85 pounds, or 52 inches tall. This is a lot and many children will outgrow their seat before reaching that height especially if they're placed in the most upright harness position, which requires that their shoulders be higher than the top of the fully extended headrest. It has a line level on the decal that is for the belt of the vehicle, but there is no color coding to indicate when it is at the right angle for installation and secure enough. It is also top heavy and requires some effort to keep it in place during installation. It was a decent seat in terms of ease of use using the anchors for LATCH, however the tether anchor was simpler to use than other seats reviewed in this review. Weight Maxi Cosi is a brand known for its luxury and this seat is no exception. The fabrics are incredibly plush and cushiony and the seat is comfortable to ride in, even for long trips (though getting kids in and out of it can be a gruelling exercise). This seat features three different ways to adjust both the height of the headrest and the height of the harness. It also comes with built-in harness holders which keep the straps out of the way when the child is going in or out. The seat also features two machine-washable, removable cup holders with an open design that can accommodate sippy cups and bottles that have handles. The seat's rear-facing weight and height limit is lower than the majority of its competitors, weighing in at 40 pounds. This means it's a bit difficult for most children to reach five years old before they have to transition to a high-back booster. The crotch strap is only one position for children facing forward, and we believe that the majority of children will outgrow the seat before they reach the belt-positioning booster. This seat comes with a padded harness cover that protects the chest sensor when using the crotch buckle in forward facing mode. We found it to be a little harder to remove than some of the competition and we're curious how it will stand up to repeated washings, but it's machine washable and dryer-safe. The Pria 85 Max has the incredibly convenient ClipQuik chest clip that is made of magnetic material and is designed to be easy for caregivers to use, however difficult for kids to release on their own.

The installation process is much simpler than other seats we tried. The LATCH anchors are fairly simple to use, and the mold-in line on the decal that indicates when the seat is in the correct angle for installing a belt is useful for parents who are first-time parents. maxi cosi car seat and isofix base pushchairsandprams.uk is comfortable for children with a well-padded SIP and a headrest. We like the fact that it comes with 14 height adjustments for the headrest, allowing you to raise your child's head as they increase in height. This will help to ensure that their head isn't too close to the seat back, which could cause serious injuries in the event of a crash. The headrest also comes with an infant insert that will provide extra padding for your child to feel more comfortable. The fabric of the Maxi-Cosi is soft and luxurious. It's a little harder to take off the cover and clean it than other models however, you can machine wash it at a low setting. The user's manual is kept inside the cover instead of being attached to the straps of the car seat. This makes it easier for caregivers when installing or using the car seat. One thing to keep in mind when you are considering this car seat is that it has a clip to secure the top tether, which is intended to reduce head movement during an accident. The tether may not be required under iSize's regulations but it can help to ensure your child's safety. The manual recommends using a tether if your child weighs less than 65 pounds and advises caregivers to use harness pads to help keep them out of the way during the installation. It is also important to note that the Cosi car seat weighs slightly more than other seats in its class and its wider dimensions could pose a challenge for families who use it in rental vehicles or taxis. It also comes with two recline positions for forward-facing children, with the second one being more reclined than the first. This could create a gap between your child's head, and the car seat in the event of a crash. This seat has great results in crash tests for sleds, which is an indication of its overall security. It also offers a generous amount of padding, and is easy to set up and use. It's a great choice for parents who want to ensure your child's safety in every situation. Neck Circumference This isn't as big of an issue as head circumference when it comes to car seat safety However, it is important to think about your child's neck size. A properly-fitted seat should allow your child's head to be supported. You can test this by placing your child's head inside the car seat and seeing if the top of their head is touching the back of the car seat. If this is the case, it's time to move them up to the next stage of a car seat. The new iSize car seats differs from the R44/04 car seat in that it utilizes length instead of weight to determine the appropriate grouping for a specific seat. This is due to the fact that children of the same age can differ greatly in height (tall/short) and weight (light/heavy). The length factor also considers that a child could have an increase in height and grow out of their car seat faster than they expected. The Pria 85 Max convertible car seat is designed for up to 85 pounds and can fit children up to 52 inches tall. However the crotch buckle could be a little short and can pinch the thighs of children when they are sitting in the seat for long periods of time. Maxi Cosi has a crotch-buckle cover to alleviate this issue. The Pria 85 Max outperformed many of its competitors in the sled crash test. This is a positive indicator that the seat is built to high safety standards and will give your child some extra margin of protection in frontal collision. This seat has only one disadvantage: the installation process is arduous. It comes with an ISOFIX base that is built-in, but it lacks an locking mechanism. Installing the belt on the vehicle through the lower anchors may be a challenge. It is also extremely top-heavy, meaning you'll need to wrestle with the seat to keep it upright while threading the belt through the narrow belt path. It is a little difficult and could take several tries to get it right.
