Maxi Cosi Tobi

This car seat was recommended to us by several of our friends and when we looked at reviews from official sites it looked like this was one of the safest to go for. We had a Maxi Cosi newborn car seat and a pushchair which we really liked so we were pleased to go with this brand again. The car seat comes in a number of different colours although we went for plain black so it was universal and wouldn't really cause any issues if we had another baby of a different sex. Installing the car seat looked daunting at first but actually it is very easy to do which I was pleased about as it means that ... more

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 space the nursery cannot accommodate the seat in my husband's car if he were to take it out and leave it there for me to collect when I lift our son ... more

This car seat we bought to go in my parents car for when baby Hope goes to see them or if my Mum comes over and we want to take Hope out in her car. I chose this one because it is meant to be the safest forward facing car seat available for group 1 (this is the second size car seat on the market). Research shows that children should remain rear-facing until they are 4. There are many published papers about the importance of this and so the car seat that we have for our own car is rearward facing and three times the price of this! When my parents started saying they'd like one for their car ... more

When Lauren was approaching 8 months old, it was becoming clear that she was becoming to big for in travel system car seat and we needed to purchase a new one. Again, not having any idea of what we needed, off we went to Toys R Us. When we arrived we stood there for about 15minutes just looking at all the different seats and different prices (the prices ranged from £60 to nearly £200!) After seeking some advice, we decided to get the Maxi Cosi Tobi. Installation was really easy (after the shop assistant had shown us, before that we would not have had a clue, you simply feed the seat belt ... more

This car seat was voted the safest by Which magazine so when it came to choosing a new car seat for our grandchildren we opted for this one. We bought it from John lewis where the staff were very helpful and told us a lot about safety aspects and then showed us how to fit it to our car. The car seat is a stage 2 one which means it is suitable for children about 9kg plus so should last your child from around 1 year to about 3/4 years. Fitting the car seat is actually so easy that I managed to do it by myself with just following the drawings in the booklet! I was very worried that i wouldn't be ... more
