Great Car Seat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this car seat and so does my 2 year old. The car seat looks safe, sturdy and comfortable for my daughter. I installed it forward facing in my car and installation was very easy. I love that it’s easy to adjust the straps and back height without taking the whole car seat out of the car. I also like that if we were to install rear facing, it’s very easy to recline and adjust the angle of the seat. My daughter says she loves it and looks very comfortable in it. The only negative I would say is the color. I’m worried the lighter color padding will get dirty easily. It also is quite wide, not an issue for me, but may be an issue for someone trying to fit three kids in the back seat.
Lightweight and Comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Maxi Cosi Pria All in One Convertible Car Seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, we have been very happy with the quality of the carseat. The first thing I noticed upon receiving the carseat is how lightweight it is. I especially appreciate this since we are often switching car seats between grandparent’s cars. For being lightweight, the Maxi Cosi Pria still feels high quality, with soft, cozy fabrics and comfortable supports for my little one. During each use, my baby has seemed content and comfortable. Following the provided directions made installation quick and simple. I think this car seat will be perfect for using while traveling or when needing a carseat for grandparents, etc. Definitely recommend!
Great quality quick and easy install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this car seat! My daughter was so excited to try it as soon as it came in the mail. It is so pretty and feels VERY sturdy but not too heavy. I have full confidence this would keep her safe if we were to be in a crash. The fabric is very good quality, and easy to wipe clean. My daughter is 3 and still rear facing and it is still comfy for her legs and she has said it’s very cozy! Install is so easy with the latching system! I LOVE that feature. Proper fit is pretty typical, it takes a few minutes but is good once it’s set! I will say we have had some trouble with the straps twisting but I think that’s more my toddler than the car seat. I did get this car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but I easily would have spent full price for this seat. We love it!
Fantastic all in one option for busy parents
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was chosen to receive the Maxi-Cosi All-in-One car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We have been using a hand me down seat for several years, and I was eager to try out a different style with my 20-month old, who is about 24lb and on the shorter end of the spectrum at 28”. We also have a Maxi-Cosi high chair that we love, so I was looking forward to trying this out. I’m delighted to report we have so far been pleased with the seat overall! Things I’ve loved so far: my little guy is a big fan of a comfy ride! It was so easy to fit him properly compared to other seats. I love how smooth the belts are to loosen and tighten. I love that the fabric doesn’t slide off in random places! I can’t yet speak to how the silvery color will be in terms of keeping it clean, but at least it’s machine washable! Install was also pretty easy- we are using the LATCH option as he is rear-facing. The chest clip is also a simple one-click with your thumb. The cup holders are removable for cleaning but I wish they were wider- they don’t fit his usual water bottles. As a mom of two boys I truly appreciate a good all-in-one style, and so far I am really happy with how this one has been handling on the daily commute. Well done!
Big Beautiful Car Seat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Right out of the box, the Maxi Cosi Pria seriously impressed with its aesthetics and overall construction. The layers of support and padding seem to provide incredible comfort to my baby, but also gives me comfort knowing that they are snug, safe, and secure. The adjustability ensures that our baby is in the best and safest position possible for their size; the headrest seems encompass/protect the head more than most other car seats we’ve had, and the variable strap positioning looks great. The features of the car seat are some of our favorites, and with multiple children and countless car seats over the years, that speaks volumes. The one click latch anchoring system makes installation a breeze—honestly the easiest we’ve had of any seats. The quick fit shoulder harness is a smooth one handed shoulder and headrest adjustment, and the removable, dishwasher safe couple holders are a game changer for parents and littles. Finally, the car seat is constructed of a plush, comfortable, premium fabric and the color looks great in our vehicle. The only downside that we’ve experienced so far is the size of the seat. Even installed in a full sized SUV, the drivers seat needed to be pushed forward to ensure appropriate car seat positioning behind it when used as a rear facing seat. Families with smaller vehicles that have less second row legroom might experience difficulty when it comes to space. Overall, this is definitely a high quality product that I would recommend if you have sufficient space in your vehicle!
Great Carseat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My overall impression of the Maxi-Cosi Pria All-in-One car seat has been very positive, especially because the all-in-one design makes it feel like a long-term investment that grows with my child from rear-facing to booster mode. Installation was fairly easy, the instructions were clear, and adjusting the harness and headrest to get a safe, secure fit was simple and intuitive. The fabrics feel very soft and high-quality, and my little one appeared comfortable while riding in the seat, even on longer drives. One thing I did notice is that in the rear-facing position on recline number three, it looks to me like my baby is still sitting more upright than expected, which is something parents may want to be mindful of depending on their child’s age and preference. My favorite feature is the no-rethread harness and how easily the seat adjusts as my child grows, making changes quick and stress-free while maintaining a proper fit. I received this car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
Great car seat but would love some updates
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This car seat is great, especially for the price point, but I would love to see some of the features updated. The installation was straight forward for rear facing using the LATCH anchors. Ensuring the seat was properly reclined was a breeze with the one touch recline button, and adjusting the headrest location to properly size the top of the shoulder straps was also quite easy - not rethreading straps into a different hole on the back of the seat. The one thing that wasn’t a breeze was tightening the LATCH straps. The base of the seat is so substantial that it got in the way of easily maneuvering the straps. I eventually got it tight, but it felt harder than it needs to be. Maybe consider adding the True Tension/True Lock system like other seats use on future models. The thing we were most excited about was the cup holders. So many car seats we have used have the cup holder attachments and they just get broken off or lost. The cup holders on this car seat are built in to the seat which makes it look nice and is definitely more sturdy for toddler use. The downsides of the built in cup holders would be that you can’t easily pop it off to clean out sticky mess. They are still fairly easy to clean by wiping though. The biggest let down of the cup holders though was a surprise…our daughter’s water bottles don’t fit in them. So they’re useless to us. I think a small baby bottle would fit fine, but the very popular brands such as Camelbak don’t fit. This was a huge disappointment. The other big disappointment was the weight limit and rear facing leg room on this seat. We have had many different car seat brands and the ones we like the most, use the most are the ones that have the higher weight and length limit. This seat is great for our 15 month old, but is almost pointless as a convertible seat for our 3.5 year old. The fabric is very soft, love it. The harness is very easy to loosen and tighten. The button to loosen the harness is in a much better spot than other car seats we have used, I was very happy with this. I didn’t have to dig around and hurt my fingers to try to loosen the strap each time, yet it is also still in a very safe spot for kids not to be able to access it while in the seat. Great design!
Average carseat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this car seat. It has been nice to test out a convertible car seat. I have two little ones - 2.5 and a 10 month old. I wanted to try it out with my 10 month old but my 2.5 year old’s current car seat was so dirty I decided to give it a try with her! To start, I thought that like other car seats I have used in the past, this one would utilize the LATCH system and anchors for forward facing but it does not. Turns out, it uses the actual seatbelt woven through the back of the car seat to secure it and also has a strap on the back of the car seat to secure near the headrest. That was my first experience with that style, but it seems pretty secure. I did enjoy the soft fabric and it seems my toddler is quite comfortable. I think that would be my favorite part. My only dislike is that the buckle does not seem the best quality and is not as smooth as i would like. The top plastic clasp doesn’t feel like the greatest quality and the lower metal buckle portion feels a bit choppy trying to secure it. It seems to be an average convertible type car seat. I did notice that it has a lot of extra padding for smaller babies which is a nice feature.
Okay car seat
Works great for smaller toddlers not bigger toddlers. Doesn't tighten the straps easily and you have to really pull to make sure the harness part is actually where it's supposed to be. Had to switch the car seat to a different vehicle because it wouldn't sit still and kept moving around even after switching the anchor to the seatbelt method. Wouldn't purchase again.
Bummed about quality
Maxi cosi has been our go to for our children over the past years. We had the pria 85 for two children and absolutely loved it. With our 3rd child, since the pria 85 is no longer an option we went with the all in one. I don't know what it is, but the quality is substantially different. I truly googled if we had gotten a knock off car seat because everything about this car seat is so lacking in quality and just comparatively for a lack of better word, seems cheap. We are super bummed because we really loved the pria for our other children and purchased not expecting there to be such a difference in quality.
