3 Reasons You're Maxi Cosi Car Seat Base Is Broken (And How To Repair It)

Maxi-Cosi Car Seat Base

Bases for car seats can help you safely take your baby inside and out of the car. Maxi-Cosi provides a range of bases that make it easier and safer to get your child into and out of the vehicle.

Our newest family car seat base model, the FamilyFix 360 Pro features revolutionary SlideTech technology that rotates and moves your infant car seat towards you. It also includes a load leg and TensionFix, which solves the issue that 7 out of 10 parents unknowingly have: loose tension on their vehicle belts.

Easy Installation

A secure and safe car seat is among the most important purchases you ever make for your child. To help ensure your child's safety while traveling the infant car seats come with bases that make it easy for installation. Choose between an ISOFIX base that has built-in rebound prevention, or a FamilyFix 360 Pro that rotates to make it easier for you to access your child. Both bases are compatible with our top strollers to create a complete travel system.

Our ISOFIX car seats and bases have a red-to-green tightness indicator that ensures an unsecure connection to your vehicle. If the indicator's colour changes to green, it means that the ISOFIX connectors are securely locked into the metal clips of the back seat of your vehicle and you'll hear a click. We also include a support leg, a top tether and an anchor that stops the car seat from advancing during an accident. This will help keep your child in a upright position for a longer time.

We recommend that you install your baby's car seat to the rear facing position, since this is the safest way to take them on a journey until they reach 15 months old. Our CabrioFix i-Size ISOFIX base is designed to be simple and easy to install using the lower anchors of your vehicle. You can install the base by pressing the indicators on each side. Then, locate the lower anchors, and press them in place until you hear a click.

When the lower anchors are securely in place, thread the vehicle seat belt through the belt guides and buckle on the back of the car seat. Then, pull the wider portion of the belt over the back of the seat and through the holder on the base. To ensure your child's safety ensure that the belt is securely fastened and is tucked into the base.

Our FamilyFix 360 Pro base is equipped with the revolutionary SlideTech Technology, which lets you rotate the car seat to your side by pressing a key located on the front of the base. This makes it easy to set up your child's car seat and remove them while watching him.

Extra Stay-In-Car

The maxi cosi car seat is a fantastic choice for parents who are worried about safety, want to keep the baby in a child carrier for longer, or need a car seat that can be used in any vehicle.

One of our top picks is the Dorel Magnus, which is a 5-in-1 convertible car seat that works with the maxi cosi car seat base. Its most notable feature, however, is its headrest that can be adjusted to 14 different levels to ensure an ideal fit. This is a feature that other seats do not have. It also comes with no-rethread belts, meaning you don't need to remove the seat from the car to alter the belt path as your child grows.

The seat's fabric is extremely plush and comfortable. This makes it an ideal place to nap for children on long road journeys. It has a cushiony feeling and the shell is a wrap around the padding, without being stiff or flimsy like other seats. ClimaFlow technology keeps the fabric cool during hot temperatures. The seat comes with a small cupholder that is not suitable for large sippy cups or snack bag. Additionally, the crotch buckle is a bit small and can irritate children' thighs.

The FamilyFix 360 Pro is a rotating car seat base that uses Maxi-Cosi's patented SlideTech technology to slide the infant car seat towards you to make getting your child inside and out much easier.

The base provides a variety of options for installation, including lower anchors/LUAS and an integrated Isofix connector. Lower anchors are easily used.

Built-In Rebound Protection

The built-in feature of rebound protection is great for limiting side-to-side movement and reducing force during crashes. It's great that this car seat has it, as many don't. The system detects when a seat isn't installed correctly and then applies small amount of pressure to the chair's headrest to limit the movement. This stops children from being thrown to the side during an accident. It could make a huge difference in how safe the seat is for them.

The seat is designed to be suitable for a child from birth until 13kg, which is approximately 18 months (in group cars 0+). It's quite a long time! It also has a ton of safety features, such as Dorel's Air Protect which limits impact forces to the child's head. This feature is very important to ensure the safety and security of toddlers and babies.

The belt path indicators are a different feature we love. They make it simple to determine if you've got the belt routed correctly. They are clearly marked and pop out once the belt is retracted, to ensure that it's secure! This is a really helpful feature, especially for newbies who may be confused as to how to place the belt in a different position.

Overall, the seat is super comfortable and offers a variety of innovative features that can be used by parents and their babies. It's an excellent choice for families who want a high-quality baby seat for a great price!
