great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed ...
...be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place- sometimes if your baby has lots of layers on you need more slack so this is a really good feature to get the straps taught. ...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Ten things I Hate about You Tobi.

Advantages: It looks good. It has essentially got good features
Disadvantages: It just doesn't live up to promises

Firstly, I have to say it really puzzles me why there are so many great reviews out there on the net for this Car Seat. Usually when I review a baby product it is because I am raving about how great it is. But this is different. I have my reservations about the Maxi-Cosi Tobi, which is the Car Seat I currently have for my 26 month old boy. We had to buy a second Car Seat as my husband drops our son at nursery and I collect him, and due to lack of ...
...car if he were to take it out and leave it there for me to collect when I lift our son. And if I am honest I would rather have two car seats for convenience as much as anything else. So when I returned to work and our son was ready for a Group 1 seat I trusted the reviews about the Tobi (Its lightweight selling point and ease of routing were what sold it to me) I can fit Car Seats. I have been trained through work, so happy with the general fit of ...

Review of Maxi Cosi Tobi

Great car seat with many easy to use features

Advantages: removable cover, easy adjustable straps, easy to use/remove
Disadvantages: Cover fiddly to remove

Bought in Summer 2005 for £120 at a local baby shop (although available in John Lewis, Mother care and many other stores). I bought this car seat for my son after much research. Advantages; 1) Removerable washable cover (although it says handwash only on mine I wash it on a gentle setting in my machine), 2) clips to hold back the straps which saves time searching for the clips! 3) Multi position recline 4) Easy to adjust straps (height and tightness) ...
...Disadvantages: 1) Cover is a bit fiddly to remove (I've only done it once so not a major issue) Suitable from 20lbs for confident "sitters". I would advise anyone contemplating purchasing a car seat to get it fitted in your car(s). Not only to check that you know how to fit it safely but also to check that it is suitable for your car. Not all car seats fit all cars. ...

Review of Maxi Cosi Priori Xp

Maxi cosi priori sps - a good allrounder

Advantages: good allrounder.
Disadvantages: less padded than some, lack of head support.

...a head pad available from maxi cosi but it can only be used when the harness is in the lowest position. when adjusting the harness hieght i found it was rather fiddly task. it took me about 10-15 mins to remove then rethread the harness. i would say this is a good all round seat. light enough to transfer between cars quickly and easily but still feel safe a solid when installed. i would recomend this seat to a friend however i would advice them ...

Review of Maxi Cosi Priori Sps

Maxi Cosi Make It Maxi Easy At A Maxi Price

Advantages: Makes getting an infant into and out of the car a doddle.
Disadvantages: Pricey.

...we invested in a new Maxi Cosi Cabrio car seat for our newborn son, I resigned myself to at least another year of back seat ballet. However, my resourceful wife informed me of a product called “Easybase” which allows the car seat to be clicked in place very simply, without the seatbelt. Intrigued and hopeful, I decided to investigate. WHAT IS IT? Easybase is a heavy base suitable for most cars which uses the three point seat belt on the back ...
...base for compatible car seats. Maxi Cosi car seats have two metal bars underneath, and these easily click in to the retaining mechanism. It is available on Amazon for £71.50, and also comes in a more expensive Isofix version (£92.69). It is suitable for children up to 13 kilos (up to about a year old). HOW IS IT FITTED? At 11 kilos, the Easybase is very heavy – a feature that ensures a solid platform for the car seat. Our version was simply ...
