How to Install a Maxi Cosi Car Seat
When it's time to buy a new car seat, be sure that it meets all your parenting needs. Shop our Maxi Cosi collection for travel systems that expand and transform into strollers.
The correct installation of your child's seat is essential to their safety. To ensure a secure fit, follow the guidelines in the manual for your car seat.
Rear-facing
Our rear-facing bases are designed to ensure safety and comfort for both you and your child. SlideTech(tm) our patented technology, allows you to easily install your car seats by slid them towards the vehicle anchor points. Pushchairs & Prams can connect the tether in a loose manner and use the lower anchor connectors to secure the car seat in your vehicle, without the need to take off the cover. Look for the red line which is the level-to-ground line at the base of the car seat or base, and then take out any loose slack from the tether.
Our ISOFIX car seat bases come with a color-coded indicator that confirms the correct connection to the vehicle and headrest. They're also designed to stop the car seat from moving too much in a crash, which means you can be certain that your child is secured all the time.
With some practice, fitting your car seat using ISOFIX or belt is simple and quick. Make sure you adhere to the directions that came with the car seat. It is crucial to get it right the first time, so you can leave with peace of mind knowing that your baby or toddler is secure from the beginning.
Once you have installed your car seat, you are able to enjoy your ride in peace and comfort knowing that your child is secure. It is a good idea to keep your child in a rear-facing car seat until they reach at least 15 months old, since this is the most secure way for them to travel.
The Pria convertible car seat is a great option for your infant or toddler to go on your next family outing. It's designed to ensure your child's comfort and comes with useful features like the locking system for tethers that makes it simple to secure the tether. In addition, the built-in QuikFit headrest and harness system allows you to raise and lower them with 1 hand, making it much easier to help your baby or toddler in and out of the seat. There are even harness holders to keep the straps out of the way when you're buckling and unbuckling them, which is particularly helpful for an infant who is wriggly!
Forward-facing
If you're raising your child there are a lot of little details you have to be aware of. The right equipment can help make the transition from parenthood a lot easier. At Pottery Barn Kids, we have Maxi Cosi strollers, car seats and high chairs that will assist you in making the most of your time with your growing family.

In-and-out harness holders keep straps away from the way when you are buckling or unbuckling your anxious toddler. The ReclineFit is a patent-pending product. ReclineFit also provides three reclining positions for maximum comfort. All fabrics and padding are machine-washable and dryer safe.
If you don't have ISOFIX anchors in your vehicle, a belt-installed Maxi Cosi car seat is still a great alternative. The lower latch connectors snap into the anchor system in your vehicle. You can tighten the belt by pressing down on the seat and pulling up on the adjustor, removing any slack. Verify the stability of the seat by moving it from side-to-side. It should not move more that an inch.
Convertible
Choose an infant car seat that grows along with your child from toddler to infant and booster, for a lifetime of safe travel. Maxi-Cosi has a broad selection of infant car seats that come with an air-protection system that is patented to help reduce the force of impact in accidents. There are all-in-one models that transform into strollers, making them ideal for parents who wish to accomplish more than one thing.
This seat earns the lowest ease-of-use score in our tests and is more difficult to set up than some of its competitors. The chest clip is big and has a square button that requires a lot of strength to push it down and undo. We also found it hard to access the belt pathway since it is hidden beneath the cupholders. The Pria also has just five different height settings for harnesses, which feels like an understatement compared to the majority of the competitors.
The i-Size base for this seat comes with the AGR seal of approval. This means that it is back-friendly and allows you to install your car seat without bending over to reach the vehicle's anchor points. This makes it one of the best baby car seats bases to support the back.
The 2wayFix and FamilyFix bases can be used with any Maxi-Cosi Group 0+ car seat, including convertible toddler seats. These two sturdy ISOFIX bases allow you to use your car seat forward-facing until your child is the age of four. The tether for this seat is routed through the head rest, so you can still use it after your child turns four. We suggest removing any looseness on the tether from the back of the vehicle seat, then threading it through the attachment for the tether on the iSize base. This will prevent the tether from being stuck on anything that could take it off.
You can take the iSize Pebble Plus or Citi with you on an airplane flight. The seats are secured to the plane using the lap belts that come with your seat. The lap belts can be adjusted to ensure the child's shoulders are in the lower anchor positions.
