It's possible to clean grime from the buckle area and the seat back. It has two integrated cup holders that have an elastomer rim. However, they are too small for larger snacks or sippy cups. The crotch cover is difficult to remove, and children might complain that it pinches them when they use the seat. The cover also covers rigid belt stalks that can be difficult for older children to use when buckled up in booster mode. The seat also has a more belt path that is more rigid than some of its competitors that makes it harder to get a tight fit and may require assistance from an adult. For rear-facing use, the Pria comes with three crotch buckles that vary in size and position however, it only allows them to be used with children up to 85 pounds or 52” tall. That's very short and many children will outgrow their seat before reaching that height particularly if they are placed in the highest harness position which requires their shoulders to be higher than the top of the headrest fully extended.

Weight Maxi Cosi is known for luxury, and this seat certainly lives up the billing. The materials of this seat are extremely soft and cushioned, and it's incredibly comfortable to ride in. Even on long trips. (Getting kids in and out of the seat is a challenge.) This seat has three ways to adjust the headrest and the height of the harness.

The crotch strap has only one position for forward-facing children and we think that most children will outgrow it before they reach the belt-positioning booster. car seat maxi cosi Pushchairs & Prams comes with a cushioned harness cover to protect the chest sensor while using the crotch buckle in forward facing mode. It was a bit more difficult to take off than other seats, and we're wondering how it'll hold up over time. However, it's machine washed and dryer safe. The Pria 85 Max comes with the magnetic ClipQuik chest clips, which are designed to make it easy for caregivers to operate, but difficult for children to remove themselves. Similar to the Pria 85 Max, this seat has a comparatively low rear-facing limit at 39 pounds and 41 inches. It's a bit difficult for a lot of youngsters to use until they reach the 5 year mark, and there's only one forward-facing position on the crotch strap. The process of installing the seat is simpler than other seats we test. The LATCH anchors are fairly easy to use and the decal's molded line that indicates that the seat is placed in the correct angle for installing a belt is useful for parents who are first-time parents. Head Circumference This seat is well-padded with a headrest and a SIP area that is suitable for children to ride in. We like that it has 14 height adjustments for the headrest, allowing you to raise your child's head as they increase in height. This will help ensure that their head isn't too close to the seat back which could cause serious injuries in the event of a crash. It is also a plus that the headrest has an infant insert, which will add some extra padding to ensure that your child will stay more comfortable. The fabric of the Maxi-Cosi is soft and feels high-quality. It's a bit more difficult to take off the cover and clean than other models, but you can machine wash it at a low setting. The user manual is also stored inside the cover, rather than being attached to the straps of the car seat. This makes it easier for caregivers installing or using the car seat. If you are thinking about this car seat, it is important to remember that the top tether is attached with clip. This clip is designed to reduce head movement during an accident. The tether may not be required by the iSize regulations, but it could aid in ensuring your child's safety. The manual recommends using a tether if your child weighs less than 65 pounds, and instructs caregivers to use the harness pads to help keep them away from the way during installation. It is also important to note that the Cosi car seat weighs a bit more than other seats in its class, and its greater dimensions could pose a challenge for families who are using it in rental vehicles or taxis. It also comes with two forward facing recline positions and the second is more reclined than position one. This could create gaps between your child's head as well as the vehicle seat back in the event of a collision. This seat has great results in sled crash tests which is a sign of its overall safety. It's also easy to install and use. It's a great option for parents who want to protect their child in any circumstance. Neck Circumference This is not as big of concern as head circumference in relation to safety of the car seat however it is crucial to consider your child's neck size. A properly fitted car seat should allow your child to travel with their head held. Check this by placing your child's face in the car and observing whether their head is touching the back of the seat. If this is the case, it's time to move them to the next level of a car seat. The new iSize car seats differs from the previous R44/04 car seat in that it relies on 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 significantly in height (tall/short) and weight (light/heavy). The length factor also takes into consideration that a child could have a growth spurt and grow out of their car seat faster than they anticipated. The Pria 85 Max is an all-in-one convertible car seat which is rated to up to 85 pounds and up to 52 inches tall. The crotch strap can be too long and could pinch the legs of children who are in the seat for long periods. Fortunately, Maxi Cosi includes a crotch buckle cover that can be used to eliminate this issue. The Pria 85 Max outperformed many of its rivals in the sled crash test. This is a indication that the seat has been built to high safety standards and should offer your child some extra margin of protection in a frontal collision. The only downside to this seat is the difficult installation. It has an ISOFIX base built in, but it lacks the locking mechanism. Installing the belt of your vehicle through the lower anchors may be difficult. It is also top-heavy. This means that you will have to struggle with the seat to keep it upright and thread the vehicle belt through. It's not easy and may take several attempts to get it right.
