Incredibly easy for a clumsy mom - son loves it!
I am incredibly impressed with this car seat, it was SUPER easy to install and I feel great knowing that my baby is safe, secure and comfortable. I was skeptical as I received this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel but I'm blown away. The buckles are magnetic and so easy to lock and unlock even with a fussy toddler. The adjustable head rest is an added function that will help the seat grow with my baby in the coming years of use. The fabric is buttery soft and and has a great amount of cushioning to keep my son comfortable on our rides. The design is great, sleek and good looking. The cup holders are an added bonus for snacks and drinks. Too bad its winter but I can't wait to take advantage of the cooling system this summer as it gets in CT! My nanny also took this for a test drive and she said this is hands down one of the best car seats she has ever used.

Fan of the Fans
I received this all in one car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. In the two weeks that I've had it, I've been impressed! The fans definitely help my son stay cool. When getting him out of the car, I haven't noticed him being sweaty at all (a stark contrast to his infant car seat)! The fans are quiet, so they don't cause any annoyance. The seat's fabric is cushy and breathable. My son has fallen asleep in the seat, confirming its comfort. The cup holders are easily accessible and removable for washing. The harness holders may be my favorite feature, as I never have to dig for the straps! The magnetic chest clip makes it easy to hook/unhook. I was concerned that the magnets would reduce the strength of the clip, but after observing it, I no longer have that fear! The seat positions and straps are very easy to adjust when it's not installed. Installation was quick and easy using the latch connectors with exception to getting the straps pulled tight. I recruited my husband for this step. My one critique is that the fans continue running after turning off the car. The on/off switch is a simple solution to this, but it would be great to have one less thing to remember. Overall, I love this car seat and would recommend it, especially to anyone who has struggled with kiddos getting hot in their car seats!
So comfortable!
I was so excited to receive the Maxi-Cosi Pria Chill through the Stellar Review Panel. When the car seat arrived I was immediately impressed by how comfortable it felt! The cushions are plush and the material is soft but the perforated design ensures that heat doesn't get trapped. My daughter is also very comfortable sitting in it and loves that there are cup holders which is perfect for tucking a bottle for her to drink or just play with! My favorite feature is the magnetic chest clip, it makes it incredibly easy to secure her, there's no fumbling with a buckle. While we haven't been able to utilize the cooling feature yet due to the winter weather, I am looking forward to this capability. My daughter is still rear facing so when the AC vents are on there are non directly on her and she has been very warm and upset until my car cools down. I did check to see which route would be best to run the cord and am happy that I will be able to tuck it between the seats and run it under the foot mats to keep it out of the way! Overall a great car seat!
Wonderful car seat
Absolutely love this seat! The fans work really well and keep my baby cool and content in his seat unlike any other seat I have owned. The fabric is very breathable while still being soft and the seat is very lightweight, making it easy to travel with and transfer between cars. Highly recommend!
I would recommend this to everyone!!
Amazing car seat! Exactly as described! Everything works great. The cooling system is amazing in keeping my son cool in the car. He used to come home sweaty everyday and now he doesnt! The car seat is also such a beauty, I get comments all the time that my son looks like a king in it! Absolutely love this car seat!
Prefect summer road trip seat!
We have traveled this summer on 4 12 hour trips and thanks to Pria chill fans my son has not over heated in the 100 heat. Being the only one with fans on him he was also the only one not sweating on the trips. The seat sits up high so if you can't lift your child up it can be a hard loading but that goes for most seats. We love the fans! My son always checked for them when we would get to the car. Love having this seat to keep our guy comfortable! He is easily able to sleep with the added soft white noise of the fans and never getting overheated. We used it for both our 3yr old and infant. Works so well! Easy to switch between them. Bonus! The chest clip can't be undone easily while seated in it. Making escaping hard.
Comfy, cozy (and stylish!) car seat
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this all-in-one car seat. I loved the neutral stylish design and especially the comfort for my tall 3.5-year-old! I also really liked the magnetic chest clip because it's hard for my son to escape from! Also, I'm very picky about making sure I choose safe products for my kids and this one fits the bill. I received it in the cold northeast so haven't used the fan system yet but it's definitely a great feature for the warmer months! My son was so excited about the new car seat, and he said it was "comfy cozy". Toddlers are usually hard to please! It took a little while to install into my car, but it was easy enough for me to figure out. The cord wasn't in the way of anything either when I went to try it out. Looking forward to using this seat!
The best air vents for hot days!
The Maxi-Cosi Pria Chill car seat is the most innovative one that I have seen on the market. I LOVE the addition of the air vents, which is the reason why I wanted to use it. Upon using it, I loved the fact that the car seat was lightly colored, had air vents with multiple speeds, and has plush breathable fabric that keeps baby cool in the car seat in the summer. Before using this car seat, I struggled with keeping my baby cool in a car without ceiling vents. The biggest downside to this car seat is the fact that the chest clip does not stay in place. I have 2 other car seat models from different brands that do not have this issue. The chest clip on the Maxi-Cosi Pria Chill seat slides down so easily that it often rests on top of the crotch clip - an extremely unsafe position for baby. The chest clip slides so easily that my toddler is able to do it with one hand and figure out how to get his arms outside of the straps. If this feature was fixed, I would 100% recommend this car seat.
Cozy Cool!
Straight out of the box, I immediately noticed that it looks so comfy! The sides, bottom, and even the buckle straps have nice quality padding added to them. I was impressed that additional padding was included for the middle buckle which seems like quite an improvement on comfort. The padding and fabric are excellent breathable quality and what I'd expect in a top-of-the-line design! The installation of the seat was easy and pretty standard in terms of connecting the anchors. It's important to read and follow the seat's manual though since there are so many different configurations as an all-in-one seat! I was surprised to learn that this seat accommodates from 4lbs up to 100lbs/10 years old so it's nice knowing we can use this for a long time! This seat is also equipped with incredible new technology of a cooling system! The cooling fan is actually very quiet. I anticipate that the cooling feature will be handy during our long road trips and hotter summer months. In order to use the cooling feature, it requires a small auxiliary cord that connects from the back of the car seat into 12V power source. The cord was a bit awkward to have stretching across the car but it's long enough to tuck along the side of the car seat to keep out of the way. The seat includes harness holders so I don't have to dig around looking for the buckles. The magnetic chest clip is easy to buckle but has taken some practice for unbuckling and I'm still not sure I like it yet. I know other toddler parents can also appreciate that the dual cupholders can be removed and put into the dishwasher for cleaning. Overall, I've been impressed with this seat! I want to thank Stellar Product Testing for giving me this amazing opportunity to receive and try this car seat as part of their product testing panel! This review has been my personal experience and I would absolutely recommend this seat to other parents!
