Cosi little seat!

Advantages: Comfortable, safe
Disadvantages: heavy

...I was recommended to buy this car seat by a friend and now I can see why they rated it so highly. Which magazine have rated Maxi Cosi as one of their safest car seats and it's been a great buy for us. The seat itself is very well padded and comes with a head hugger which has extra padding on it which is velcroed on. You easily detach this once your baby has out grown it. The head hugger is really great though for when your baby is tiny. It gives that extra comfort and support which a newborn needs. The head hugger stayed in our car seat until our baby was 5 months old. The padding around the rest of the seat is really sound comfortable but not so overly padded that it seems too soft and therefore not safe. When the baby is sat in it it doesn't hunch them up like in other car seats, instead the baby is well supported and has...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Maxi Cosi cabrio car seat

Advantages: Stylish, simple to use and slim design so light weight
Disadvantages: none

...This is a fantastic car seat for up to a year old baby. It is very user friendly with easy instructions if you can't work out certain things. It is a slim design so it is quite light and easy to carry, the seat belt is a stylish and simple design where you have to interlock the arm straps then fasten between the legs. The handle can be placed in three positions: 1. behind the seat on the floor to stop seat rocking 2. behind the baby's head so it can rock 3. In place for you to be able to carry it. The seat also comes standard with a fabric cover which attaches to the handle to protect the baby from bright sunlight, and when not in use sits snuggly back in its pouch. Personally we have it up all the time as its always to bright for the baby. Other accessories that come with it are padding for a new born baby which is used till...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Maxi-Cosi; Comfort and Style!

Advantages: Easy to fit, easy to clean, compatible with some Quinny systems
Disadvantages: Baby sweats more easily

...We bought the Maxi-Cosi carseat to use with our Quinny Zapp travel system - lucky for us as otherwise we probably wouldn't have looked at it! Initially this carseat seemed more expensive than some others, but as soon as we investigated in the shops I could certainly see why. It seems to be a higher quality than other, cheaper carseats on the market, with an interesting design that I've never seen elsewhere. There is no assembly or fiddling required - all you need to do when you get this home is have a browse through the instructions, then off you go! Fixing the carseat into your vehicle using a seatbelt is very easy - I tend to be very easily confused (embarrassing but true) but even I find this very straightforward and obvious. The seat comes complete with a cushion insert so that younger babies can lie in a more horizontal...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Maxi Cosi Minimum Fuss.

Advantages: Fits Bugaboo Frog Pushchair, Mid-Range Price, Easy to install.
Disadvantages: Strap for tightening harness can be tricky when fitted in car.

...The Maxi Cosi Cabrio is a Group0 (0-13kg) rear facing baby seat which is easy to install and not too heavy. The handle bar has three positions - upright for carrying and travelling in the car, midway so the seat can rock when not in the car and fully down behind so the seat does not rock when on the floor. The imminent arrival of twins and a day trip to John Lewis faced us with a bewildering choice of baby seats, which I had basically decided on pre purchase research was going to be a Britax seat of sorts. All the pre purchase research was binned when my wife decided on the day that we were going to buy a (did I say "a"?, sorry should have been "some") Bugaboo Frog pushchair system (see review elsewhere), and this system's car seat solution was(exclusively) a Maxi Cosi car seat and adaptor. So the only decision was then "What colour...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Maxi Cosi Car Seat

Advantages: Very easy to use features. Very cosi for your little one.
Disadvantages: Non that I can find.

...This is an excellent product. Easy to install and very safe for your little precious cargo. You will notice that I have specified this as 12-36 months in age range but I was advised that it suits children from 9 months to 4 years. This car seat is very easy to use as the straps remain connected and in place so you don't have to keep moving them around every time your child gets in or out of the vehicle. It also has a head rest that adjusts the hight of the straps without having to fiddle with them through tiny slats when your child grows a bit bigger. The straps also loosen and tighten very easily by holding down the front clasp you just pull the straps free. And when tightening it up when your child is on board you just pull the belt near the clasp and wait for the green arrow to indicator to show that it is secure. The maxi cosi...

Review of Maxi Cosi Tobi

Maxi cosi Tobi car seat

Advantages: easy to use, easy to clean, sturdy
Disadvantages: it is bulky

...We bought this seat a couple of months back after trailing round several shops. We chose this one as it seemed the sturdiest, comfiest and easiest to use. We bought ours for £129.99 from Kiddicare.com. The seat is easy to fix into the car, using just the seatbelt. The seat has five reclining positions, from upright to a reclining position for when your little darling is asleep. The seat is recommended for use from the age of about 9 months old (providing your child is 9 kg in weight.) to 4 years old. There are several different strap settings up the back of the seat which are easily adjustable as your child grows. When it comes to fastening your child in, there is a simple buckle that you connect together and then insert into the slot. The straps are easy to tighten so that your child is secure-once the little marker is green...

Review of Maxi Cosi Tobi

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

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 once your baby is big enough. The straps also can 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...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Brilliant infant car seat

Advantages: Excellent for safety, comfort and totally practical
Disadvantages: no negatives for this product

...I used this for my daughter and used it from birth right through to the upper weight limit which is actually higher than most other car seats in this category. She always seemed so content in it and happily napped when travelling. The sun canopy is excellent, great for protecting the baby when driving and carrying about. Sun canopy also stores away easily when not in use, remaining attatched but out for the way. I also bought the easybase which made loading and unloading baby from car very quick and easy - especially when its raining which it so often does here. Also purchased mosquito net & Raincover both excellent purchases and in the UK I certainly needed them. I liked the fact that there were internal pads that could be removed as she grew to enable more comfort and space for her within the seat. Covers are easily removed for washing...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Maxi Cosi car seat a great product

Advantages: easy to remove, compatible with push chairs, safe, comfortable
Disadvantages: yet to find any!

...I had absoloutely no knowledge about car seats and what was the 'best' on the market before having my baby. People recommended all different kinds and after consulting Which magazine I decided to go for the Maxi Cosi. I am more than happy with it's performance so far. It is a cosy-looking seat as the head hugger- suitable for younger babies and is removed once the baby gets too big for it- moulds nicely around my baby's head and makes her feel as though she is still being held. It isn't a car seat which makes the baby look all hunched up and so I am not concerned about having her travel in it for up to 3 hours. my baby seems very happy with it too. It's very practical as it's easy to get in and out of the car so easy in fact that it often doesn't wake my baby if I lift the car seat out whilst she's still asleep which is...
