Choosing the right newborn car seat for your family is an important decision. After all, you want your baby to be safe and comfortable in your car from the moment you first take them home from the hospital! At Maxi-Cosi, we’re here to help you choose the right car seat and infant carrier for you, and each of them are designed with the needs of families in mind. Here’s more about what you need to knowwhen choosing a baby car seat: The fact that your child can rear face up to a maximum height of 105cm in the seat provides peace of mind to parents that their child is as safe as can be whilst travelling, but at the same time there is the option to forward face if the need arises. Features ClimaFlow: Special panels, breathable foam and fabrics encourage comfortable air circulation to ensure your child is always at the right temperature GCELL: Innovative side impact protection technology offering an extra-protective build-in guard to ensure your child’s safety The best place to fit your newborn car seat is the rear middle seat of your car. The next best place to install your newborn car seat/infant carrier is behind the passenger; this can be done if the middle seat doesn’t have ISOFIX anchors or a three-point seat belt for fixing the car seat in place. We don’t recommend it, but if you need to install the baby car seat in the front passenger seat, be sure to always deactivate the passenger airbag before doing so.

i-Size is becoming pretty familiar lingo in the car seat world now, but for those of you who are still a little hazy, i-Size in essence means a safer (side impact protected) seat for your little one that is easy to install (via ISOfix) and that meets the latest safety standards. Following the i-Size or R129 regulations, it is a requirement for children to rear face in a car seat until at least 15 months old. Rather than focusing on age or weight, i-Size uses the length of a child to determine when they need to change position or seat. Maxi-Cosi is a popular brand with parents, and many of its models can be used with pushchairs to create a travel system. They can even be used with other brands of pushchair, so long as you have the Maxi-Cosi car seat adaptors. Can I recycle a Maxi-Cosi car seat? Built to the highest safety standards, Pearl 360 Pro features superior in-built G-CELL Side Impact Protection to ensure the safety of your child. Installing car seats is always a slightly scary prospect for any parent. It's important that we get it right for the car seat to be safe and the new i-Size regulations have been brought in for this very reason.There are two ways in which you can install your newborn car seat: with an ISOFIX base or with your car’s seatbelt. At Maxi-Cosi, we always recommend using an ISOFIX base to install your baby car seat. It minimises the risk of incorrect installation and provides a solid connection to your car. Don’t worry if you don’t have ISOFIX anchors in your car, installation with a belt is just as safe if you follow the instructions included in the manual. This is an extended rear-facing car seat that can be used from birth (with the Comfy Baby-Hugg Inlay, sold separately) until your child is four years old (or 105cm). As usual, the Maxi-Cosi fabrics are plush and exciting, available in plenty of colours to suit all different preferences. The seat fabrics are nicely padded and we loved the fact that they were elasticated and really easy to remove in that inevitable case of chocolate smears or yogurt spillages. When you put the car seat onto the base, the 2wayPearl can either face rearwards or forwards. Using the 2wayPearl, any child 15 months and under has to rear face. From 15 months onwards it is your choice if you wish to turn the 2wayPearl around. However it is much safer to keep your child rear facing and the 2wayPearl brilliantly allows your child to rear face until they reach the maximum height limit of 105cm, which is approximately 4 years old. The fact the 2wayPearl allows for children to rear face for such a long period of time really adds to its value for money factor. The stay open harness makes life easier for parents and the recline positions and ultimate padding on the 2wayPearl help to make it a comfortable ride for your little one.
