How to Install a Maxi Cosi Car Seat
If you're looking to purchase your next car seat, make sure it meets your requirements as a parent. Maxi Cosi offers travel systems that can be enlarged and converted into strollers.
Properly installing your child's car seat is essential to their safety on the road. To ensure a perfect fit, follow the instructions in the car seat's instruction manual.
Rear-facing
Our rear-facing car seat bases have been made with safety and ease in mind for both you and your baby or toddler. They meet the highest i-Size safety standards and come with our innovative SlideTech(tm) technology that allows you to easily install your car seat by simply sliding it toward the anchor point on your vehicle. You can connect the tether in a loose manner and use the lower anchor connectors to secure the car seat in your vehicle, with no need to take off the cover. Just be sure to check the ground-level line which is indicated by a red line on the base or the car seat, and remove any slack from the tether.
The ISOFIX car seats have a color indicator that confirms the correct connection to the headrest and vehicle. They're also designed to prevent the car seat from moving too far in the event of a crash, so you can rest assured that your child will be safe throughout the day.
With some practice, installing your car seat with ISOFIX or belts is easy and quick. Follow the instructions included with your car seat. It's crucial to get it right the first time so you can leave with peace of mind and your toddler or baby is secure from the beginning.
Once you have installed your car seat, you can ride in peace and safety knowing that your child is secure. It is a good idea to keep your child in a rear-facing car seat until they are at minimum 15 months old because this is the safest method of transport for them.

In-and-out harness holders keep straps away from the way when you are buckling or unbuckling your anxious toddler.

Maxi Cosi car seats with belts installed as standard are a great choice if you don't have ISOFIX in your vehicle. The lower latch connectors connect to the anchor system inside your vehicle, and you can tighten the belt by pressing down on the seat and pulling up on the adjustor to remove any looseness. Check the seat's stability by moving it side-to-side. It should not move more that an inch.
Convertible

Maxi-Cosi offers a wide range of infant car seats that feature patented air protection to reduce impact forces in accidents.

This seat is the one with the lowest score in our tests and is more difficult to install than many competitors. The chest clip is a large button with a square shape that requires strength to release. The belt pathway is also difficult to access because it's hidden under the cup holders. The Pria also has only five different harness height settings that feels like a loss compared to most of the other models.
The i-Size base for this seat comes with the AGR seal of approval, which means it is back friendly and allows you to put in your car seat without having to bend over to reach the car's anchor points. This makes it among 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, and even convertible toddler seats. Both of these solid ISOFIX bases allow you to use your car seat forward facing until your child is four years old. The tether of this seat is routed through the backrest, which means it is able to be used even after your child is four years old. We recommend removing any loose slack from the tether at the back of your seat and then threading it loosely through the anchors for tethers on the iSize base to prevent the tether from getting caught up in anything that could tear it off.
