Maxi Cosi Pria 85 Convertible Car Seat Review The car seat has a soft car seat that can be detached, reducing the weight of the car seat by 50%. This is a great option for parents who want to get the most of their investment. It features a visual indicator that changes from green to red to let you know when the belt was properly tightened during installation. This will ensure that your child will be secure in their seat during an accident. Height Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Convertible car seats due to the fact that the head extension when using the lap belt without the tether in forward facing mode can exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213, “Child Restraint Systems.” This can result in your child being less protected from injuries in the event of a crash. Visit their recall page to verify the model number and manufacture date of the car seat your child is using. This seat is extremely comfortable, and it has plenty of padding on the headrest to ensure comfort for your child as they ride. It comes with torso side-impact protection that can help prevent head trauma should there be an accident. Its shell is cleaner than other seats, since it is open and allows you to wipe away grime from the buckle areas and the seat back. It has two integrated cup holders that have the rim of rubber. But, they're too small for sippy cups. The crotch cover is difficult to remove, and children may complain that it pinches them when they use the seat. The cover also covers the long rigid belt stalks, which can be difficult for older children to use when they buckle themselves up in booster mode. This seat also has a more belt path that is more rigid than some of the other models, which means it's harder to achieve a tight installation and may require assistance from an adult. For rear-facing use, the Pria has three crotch buckle slots that differ in size and position however it is only able to allow the use of children who weigh 85 pounds or 52” tall. That's very short and many children will outgrow the seat before the height limit especially if they're placed in the highest harness position which requires the shoulders to be higher than the top of the fully extended headrest. It has a nice line level on a decal for the belt of your vehicle but there is no color-coding or lock off that tells you if it's on the right angle to install and is sufficiently secure. It is also top heavy and requires some effort to keep it upright during installation. It was an average seat for ease of use using the LATCH anchors, but the tether anchor was much simpler to use than other seats reviewed in this review. Weight Maxi Cosi is a brand known for its luxury and this seat is not a exception. The fabrics of this seat are extremely soft and cushioned, and it's incredibly comfortable to ride in. Even on long rides. (Getting kids to and from the seat can be an issue.) This seat has three ways to adjust both the height of the headrest as well as the harness height. It also comes with harness holders which keep the straps out the way when the child is going in or out. This seat also has two machine-washable, removable cup holders with an open design that can accommodate sippy cups and bottles that have handles. The seat has an upper rear-facing limit than most of its competitors, at 40 pounds and 43 inches. It will be difficult for most children to reach 5 years old in this seat, before they have to switch to a high-back booster. The crotch strap only has one position for children facing forward We believe that most children will outgrow it before they reach the belt-positioning booster. The seat comes with a cushioned harness cover to protect the chest sensor when you use the crotch buckle when in forward-facing mode. It was a little harder to take off than other seats, and we wonder how it will last in time. It is, however, machine washed and dryer safe. The Pria 85 Max comes with the magnetic ClipQuik chest clips that are designed to make it simple for caregivers to use but difficult for children to remove themselves. Similar to the Pria 85 Max, this seat has a comparatively low rear-facing limit of 39 pounds and 41 inches. It will be a challenge for children to use until they reach the five-year mark, and there's only one forward-facing position on the strap for the crotch. The installation process is much easier than most of the other seats we've tested. The LATCH anchors are simple to use and the molded line on the decal that indicates that the seat is placed at the correct angle for vehicle belt installation is helpful for first-time parents. Head Circumference This seat is a great choice for kids with a well-padded SIP and a headrest. It comes with 14 adjustments for height for the headrest. This allows you to raise your child's head when they get older. This will ensure that your child's head is not too close against the seat back, which can cause serious injuries in a crash. It's also a benefit that the headrest has an infant insert which will add some extra padding to ensure that your child will remain more comfortably supported. The fabric of the Maxi-Cosi is soft and feels high-quality. It's a little more difficult to take off and clean than some of the competition however it can be washed in the washing machine on the cold setting. The user's manual is stored inside the cover, instead of being attached to the straps of the car seat. This makes it easier for caregivers to use when installing or using the car seat. One important thing to consider when considering this car seat is that it has clips for the top tether which is designed to limit head excursion during an accident. The tether might not be required by the iSize regulations, but it will help to ensure your child's safety. The manual does recommend tether use when your child is less than 65 pounds, and instructs caregivers to use the harness pads to keep them out of the way during installation. It is also important to note that the Cosi car seat weighs a bit more than other seats in its class, and its wider dimensions could pose a challenge for families who are using it in rental vehicles or taxis. It also has two recline positions for forward facing children, the second being more reclined than the other. This can create a gap between your child's head, and the vehicle seat in the event of a crash. This seat has great results in crash tests for sleds, which is a sign of its overall security. It also has a huge amount of padding, and is easy to set up and use. It's a great option for parents who want to make sure your child's safety in every situation. Push Chairs & Prams isn't as much of concern as head circumference when it comes to car seat safety However, it is important to take into consideration the neck size of your child. A properly-fit car seat should allow your child travel with their head supported. You can test this by holding your child's head in the car seat and observing if the top of their head is in contact with the car seat back. If it is, it's time to move them to the next stage of a car seat. A major difference between the new i-Size car seats as well as the older R44/04 car seats is that iSize uses length to change the group for a particular seat instead of weight. This is because children who are the same age differ in height (tall/short) and weight (light/heavy). The length factor also takes into consideration that a child may experience an upward growth spurt and outgrow their car seat sooner than they anticipated. The Pria 85 Max convertible car seat is rated for up to 85 pounds and can accommodate children as tall as 52 inches tall. The crotch strap can be too long, and it can pinch the legs of children who are in the seat for prolonged periods of time. Maxi Cosi has a crotch-buckle cover to ease this problem. The Pria 85 Max outperformed many of its rivals in the sled crash test. This indicates that the seat was constructed to the highest standards of safety and should provide your child with some extra protection in a collision. The only drawback of this seat is the arduous installation. It has an ISOFIX base built in, but it lacks an locking mechanism. Installing the belt on the vehicle through the lower anchors may be a challenge. It is also very top-heavy. This means that you'll need to wrestle with the seat and maintain it upright while you thread the vehicle belt through the narrow belt pathway. It is a little difficult and could take a few tries to get it right.
