Maxi Cosi Pria 85 Convertible Car Seat Review The car seat comes with a detachable soft carrier that reduces carrying weight by 50%. It is a great option for parents who want to make the most of their investment. The seat belt is fitted with a light indicator that changes from red to green to show when it is properly tightened. This ensures that your child is secured in their seat during an accident. Height Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 convertible car seats due to the fact that the head excursion when using the lap belt without tethers in forward-facing mode could exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213, “Child Restraint Systems.” This will cause your child to be less protected from injury in the event an accident. Visit their recall page to check the model number and date of your child's car seat. The seat is extremely comfortable, and it has plenty of padding in the headrest area to ensure comfort for your child while riding. It also offers torso side impact protection, which is a nice feature that can help prevent head trauma in the event of collision. Its shell is a little more easy to clean than other seats, since it is open and allows you to clean away dirt from the buckles and the seat back. It comes with two cup holders that have the rim of rubber. However, they're too small for larger snacks or sippy cups. The cover for the crotch buckle is difficult to remove and could cause kids to complain that it irritates their thighs when they try to use the seat. The cover also covers the long rigid belt stalks, which can be tough for older kids to use when they buckle themselves up in booster mode. This seat also has a more belt path that is more rigid than some of the competition that makes it harder to achieve a tight installation and could require some help from an adult. For rear-facing, the Pria comes with three crotch buckle slots that differ in size and location, but it only allows them to be used with children who weigh 85 pounds or 52” tall. This is a low limit, and many children will outgrow the seat prior to this height limit. It has a line-level on the decal that is for the vehicle's belt, but there is no color coding to show when it is at the proper angle for installation and secure enough. It's also quite heavy on the top and takes some effort to ensure it stays upright when installing. It was a decent seat in terms of ease of use using the LATCH anchors, but the tether anchor was much more user-friendly than other seats in this review. Weight Maxi Cosi is known for quality and this seat is not a exception. The fabric of this seat are extremely soft and cushioned, and it's extremely comfortable to ride on. Even on long rides. (Getting kids to and from the seat can be a challenge.) This seat features three different ways to adjust the headrest height and the harness height. It also comes with harness holders that keep the straps out of the way when the child is taking a ride in or out. This seat comes with two adjustable cup holders that can be cleaned in the washing machine and can be used for bottles or sippy cups. The seat has a lower rear-facing limit than many of its rivals, at 40 pounds and 43 inches. It's going to be difficult to get children to age 5 in this seat, before they need to change to a high-back booster. The crotch buckle can only be used in one position when facing forward and we expect that most kids will outgrow this seat before reaching the belt-positioning booster stage. The seat comes with a padded cover to protect the chest sensors when the crotch strap is used in a forward-facing orientation. We found it more difficult to remove than other models and wonder how well it will stand up to repeated washings. However, it's machine washable and dryer-safe. The Pria 85 Max comes with the magnetic ClipQuik chest clips that are designed to make it simple for caregivers to use but difficult for children to remove themselves. Like the Pria 85 Max has a fairly low rear-facing limit, which is 39 pounds and 41” It's difficult for many kids to get this seat to the age of 5 before they have to transition to a booster, and the crotch buckle is only one forward-facing position, which isn't particularly tall. The installation process is much easier than most of the other seats we test. 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 helpful for first-time parents. Head Circumference This seat is well-padded with a headrest and a SIP space that is comfortable for children to ride in. It has 14 height adjustment for the headrest. This lets you raise your child’s head as they grow older. This will help ensure that their head isn't too close to the seat back, which could cause serious injuries in a crash. It is also beneficial that the headrest comes with an infant insert that will add some extra padding to ensure that your child will remain more comfortably supported. The fabric on the Maxi-Cosi is incredibly soft and high-quality. It's a little more difficult to clean and remove than some of the competitors however, it can be washed in the washing machine on the cold setting. We also like that the user manual stores inside the cover instead of being attached to harness straps. This makes it easier for caregivers to access it when installing or using the car seat. One important thing to consider when you are considering this car seat is that it uses an attachment for the top tether which is designed to minimize head-on excursions in the event of an accident. pushchairsandprams.uk isn't required by the i-Size regulations, but it could be a beneficial addition to your child's safety. The manual recommends tether use when your child is under 65 pounds, and instructs caregivers to use the included harness pads to keep them out of the way during the installation. Another thing to take into consideration is that the Cosi weighs a little more than the average car seat in this class. Also, its greater width could be a problem for families who are using it in taxis or other rental vehicles. It also has two forward facing recline positions and the second is more reclined than position one. This can cause a gap to form between your child's head and the seat of the vehicle in a crash. This seat has excellent crash test results for sleds, which is a great indicator of its overall safety. It's also easy to install and use. It's an excellent choice for parents who want to ensure your child's safety in any situation. Neck Circumference This isn't as big of a concern as head circumference when it comes to safety in car seats However, it is important to think about the neck size of your child. A properly fitted car seat should allow your child travel with their head in a secure position. Check this by placing your child's head in the car and observing if their head touches the back of the seat. If this is the case, it's time to move them to the next stage of a car seat. A major difference between the new i-Size car seats as well as the older R44/04 car seats is that i-Size makes use of length to alter the size of a group for a specific seat, not weight. This is because children can differ in height and weight. The length calculation also considers that a child could experience an increase in height at any point and get out of their car seat earlier than they would have expected. The Pria 85 Max is an all-in-one convertible car seat that can be used 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 sit in the seat for long periods. Fortunately, Maxi Cosi includes a the crotch buckle cover can be used to ease this problem. The Pria 85 Max outperformed many of its rivals in crash testing on sleds. This is a sign that the seat has been constructed to the highest standards of safety. It should provide your child with some extra protection in case of collision. This seat comes with only one disadvantage: the installation process is laborious. While it does come with an built-in ISOFIX base, it does not feature an locking mechanism, and it may be difficult to install the vehicle belt through the lower anchors. It also has a top-heavy. This means that you will have to struggle with the seat to keep it in place and then thread the belt through. This is a bit of an issue and may take multiple attempts to get it right.
