The crotch cover is a challenge to take off, and kids may complain that it pinches them when they use the seat. The cover also covers the lengthy rigid belt stalks, which can be difficult for older children to use when they buckle themselves up in booster mode. The seat also has a shorter rigid belt path than many of its competitors, 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 location however it is only able to allow them to be used with children up to 85 pounds or 52” tall. This is a low limit, and many children will outgrow the seat before this height limit. It has a line-level on the decal that is for the belt of the vehicle, but there is no color coding to show when it is at the correct angle for installation or secure enough. It's also extremely heavy on the top and takes some effort to keep it upright when installing. The anchors for LATCH were not very good, but the tether was much simpler to use. Weight Maxi Cosi has a reputation for its luxury and this seat is no exception. The fabric of this seat are extremely plush and cushioned, and it is extremely comfortable to ride on. Even on long journeys. (Getting kids in and out can be a challenge.) The seat comes with three ways to adjust the headrest as well as harness height. It also comes with harness holders built-in that keep the straps out of the way while allowing a child in and out. The seat comes with two removable cup holders that can be washed in the machine and can be used for bottles or sippy cups. The seat has a lower rear-facing limit than many of its rivals, at 40 pounds and 43 inches. It's somewhat difficult to get the majority of kids to 5 years old before they need to switch to a high-back booster. The crotch buckle has only one position when facing forward and we believe that the majority of kids will outgrow it before reaching the belt-positioning booster stage. The seat comes with a cushioned harness cover that protects the chest sensor when you use the crotch buckle in forward facing mode. It was a bit more difficult to remove than other seats, and we are unsure of how it will last over time. However, it's machine washed and dryer safe. The Pria 85 Max has the extremely convenient ClipQuik chest clip, which is designed to be magnetic and easy for caregivers to use, however difficult for kids to let go on their own. Like the Pria 85 Max has a very low rear-facing limit of 39 and 41 pounds” It's going to be a tight squeeze for many kids to make it to the 5-year mark before they need to switch to a booster. Also, the crotch buckle has only one forward-facing position, which isn't very tall. Fortunately, the install process is easier than that of the majority of other seats we've tested. The LATCH anchors are fairly simple to use and the decal's molded line that indicates when the seat is at the correct angle for installing a belt is helpful for parents who are just starting out. Head Circumference This seat is suitable for children, with a well-padded SIP and a headrest. We like that it has 14 height adjustments for the headrest, allowing you to raise your child's head as they develop. This will ensure that your child's head is not too close to the seat back and could cause serious injuries in the event of a crash. The headrest also features an infant insert which will provide additional padding for your child to feel more comfortable. The fabric of the Maxi-Cosi is soft and feels high-quality. It's a little more difficult to remove and clean than other brands however it is machine washable on an ice setting. We also like the fact that the user's manual is stored inside the cover instead of being attached to harness straps as this makes it easier for caregivers to access when installing or using the car seat. One important thing to consider when you are considering this car seat is that it has an attachment to secure the top tether, which is intended to reduce head-on excursions in the event of an accident. The tether is not required by i-Size regulations, but it can be an important element to your child's safety. The manual does recommend the use of a tether when your child is less than 65 pounds. It also advises caregivers to use harness pads to help keep them out of the way during installation. Another thing to consider is that the Cosi weighs a bit more than the standard car seat in this class. Also, its wider width may be a problem for families who use it in taxis or other rental vehicles. It also comes with two recline positions for forward facing, the second being more reclined than the other. This could create a gap between your child's head and the car seat in a crash. This seat is a top crash test results for sleds, which is a positive indicator of its overall safety. It also offers a generous amount of padding, and is easy to install and use. It's a great option for parents who want to ensure that their child is safe in any situation. Neck Circumference It's not as crucial as the head circumference for car seat safety, however it is still important to take into consideration the neck size of your child. A properly fitted seat should allow your child's head to be supported. Check this by placing your child's face in the car and then observing whether their head is in contact with the back of the seat. If it is, it's time to upgrade to an upgraded car seat. The new iSize car seat is different from the previous R44/04 car seat in that it uses length instead of weight to determine the class for a specific seat. This is due to the fact that children vary significantly in height and weight. In addition, using length takes into account that a child might experience a growth spurt at any point and get out of their current car seat sooner than anticipated. The Pria 85 Max convertible car seat is rated for up to 85 pounds and can fit children as tall as 52 inches tall. The crotch strap may be too short and could pinch the legs of children who are in the seat for prolonged periods of time. Fortunately, Maxi Cosi includes a strap for the crotch that can be used to ease this problem. In tests of sled crashes, the Pria 85 Max performed better than a lot of its rivals. This is a indication that the seat has been designed to meet the highest safety standards and should offer your child a greater degree of protection in a frontal collision. This seat has only one drawback it is that the installation process can be laborious. While Pushchairs And Prams does have an integrated ISOFIX base, it does not feature a locking mechanism, and it can be difficult to install the vehicle belt using the routing through the lower anchors. It also has a top-heavy. This means you'll have to wrestle with the seat in order to keep it in place and to thread the belt through. This can be quite a hassle and could require several attempts to make it work.
