Maxi Cosi Cabriofix

A car seat for a baby is cited by most parents as the most important decision that they can make for their little bundle of joy. Before I start this review I'll confess that I didn't really see it that way as I know, that when I was born I was cradled in my mothers lap when ever they drove the car anywhere. I suppose that is where my reckless nature comes from. Anyway Mrs Cad was sucked in by the hype and took it on herself to drag me to superstores over several weekends to look at car seats before buzzard_cad 2 was born. It wasn't the best idea, but it gave us an overview of the massive choice we had. In the end we choose a few that we liked and Mrs Cad booked her car ...  Read the complete review

When expecting your first child you find yourself inundated with information about what you should and shouldn't do, what you must and mustn't have... Car seats though stand alone - you HAVE to have one to leave the hospital unless you live round the corner and plan on walking! So you grab your increasingly empty purse or wallet and trot to the baby shops yet again to be barraged with information to scare the living daylights out of you. Do your research before you go though - it will save you lots of time and many fustrating moments where you feel like smacking the sales assistant with the nearest blunt object! The Maxi-Cosi got the Which award for safety - ...  Read the complete review

After reading the great safety reveiws for this seat we decided that this was the only one we wanted. The side impact protection feature gives great peace of mind and the ease of use is another great bonus. The easyfix base is certainly easy to fix into my Renault Clio and also nmy husband;s Skoda Fabia - although the base is so heavy we don't move it very often. I have found the seat quite easy to use as an infant carrier - even though my daughter is now 13lb. Although I wouldn't want to carry a 6-9month old baby in it. After my daughter was sick in it the other I decided to wash the cover - unfortunately the instructions that came with ...  Read the complete review

I cannot recommend this highly enough, I am so glad I chose this car seat! I bought it because of the excellent safety reviews and also the fact that it fits the chassis of all of the travel systems I was looking at (Bugaboo, Quinny and iCandy). I love the look of it (we have it in Cappucino Reflection) and it was a bargain in Mothercare for £85 in the sale. It usually retails at £105 from Mothercare, or just under £100 from Kiddicare online. The cover is washable which is useful as baby gets older if you give them a snack to eat in the car as they are incredibly likely to make a big mess all over the seat! It can be fastened into the care using a ...  Read the complete review

I am a fan of the Maxi Cosi car seat range, and have just purchased the Priorixfix as my son is getting too big for the Cabriofix. Maxi Cosi continually perform in safety test, which has to be the biggest consideration when choosing a car seat. The seat itself is not too heavy and doesn't compromise on safety; it still feels sturdy and secure. It has a built in sunshade which is a little bit fiddly to put back in when not in use but too be honest, I nearly always left it in sit; the hood attaches to the carry handle, so it can be easily put down without unclipping it. The seat has a wedge cushion inside for very young babies which can ...  Read the complete review
