Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Infant Carrier

The world of car seat buying is a bit of a minefield - Obviously you want to go for safety, but what else do you go for? Ease of Use? Good value for money? Looks nice and comes in lots of colours? Whatever it is that you are looking for, there is probably a car seat out there for you! We narrowed our choice down fairly quickly to two options - the Maxi-Cosi Cabrio car seat or the Silver Cross Ventura car seat, which partnered our pushchair. Both were similar in price, but we decided to go for the Maxi-Cosi as this was lighter in weight. The Maxi-Cosi weighs in at 3.5kg, which appears to be one of the lightest on the market. This was important ...  Read the complete review

My Maxi cosi seat has now been a car seat for three children and as a first car seat i wouldn't have any other. I have encountered lots of mums, particulary new ones who complain about theirs either being too clumpy or hard to fit but I don't have a complaint about mine. Originally bought as a present for me but they are widely available at most baby shop and cost between £ 60 and £90. This seat is universal so fits most cars (always check for buckle crunch though) and is sutiable for up to 13 kg or when your childs head peeks over the top. My boy was 9 pound 2 at birth and it lasted him until 7 months (about 23 pounds). His legs did stretch over but that ...  Read the complete review

We were going to buy this infant carrier, but ended up being given it by a friend, bargain! It is a well known brand of car seat and when used with the Isofix fittings it is one of the safest. It can be used in the car either strapped in by the seatbelt, or with one of 2 different bases. The Easybase is for cars without Isofix, and fits in using the seatbelt, meaning the carrier can then be simply clicked in and out. The Isofix base clicks into the car Isofix fittings requiring no seatbelt at all. We have one of each of the bases for our cars as only one has Isofix. We have the carrier in the black reflection colourway which is fine, although ...  Read the complete review

I bought this car seat from Halfords almost 3 years ago and paid about £90 for it, although you can buy them cheaper if you shop around online. It fits both the Bugaboo pushchair and my Quinny Zapp, you just need to buy the adapters. I really like the sun canopy which reminds me of a web. Its very easy to use and has some storage in the back, although I always forget about this! The harness is padded and can be moved upwards to grow with your child, it can also be adjusted easily by pushing the button at the bottom and pulling gently on the straps. The whole cover comes off and can be washed, which is often if you have a sicky baby. It comes with a ...  Read the complete review

We bought this car seat for around £90 as it fit onto our Bugaboo wheels with the adaptors and was apparently one of the safest on the market. The maxi cosi comes in a wide variety of colours and all have a material sun cover which tucks nicely into the back of the car seat. Our little boy was 7lb 8oz when he was born and was buried by the seat, however, 2 months on I have had to move the new baby cushion up to the next setting and will soon have to remove it all together as he is getting too big for it. The only problem with removing the cushion is that there is then no neck support for him so I will have to look into getting a support pillow for ...  Read the complete review
