Maxi-Cosi (Maxi-Cosi) from the Netherlands, in 1994 by the world's largest infant products company Dorel Group, is a well-known European child car seat brand, Europe's first infant car seat from Maxi-Coxi. Maxi-Cosi's child safety seats are of high quality and exceed the ECE R44/04 safety standard, and have won many international quality and consumer awards, and are also a favorite brand of Hollywood star Victoria Beckham.
Maxi-Cosi belongs to the 5-point car seat camp, and its young child safety seats are connected to the car with 5 points, which is slightly inferior to the products produced by the manufacturer using the impact shield. The seat frame is made of virgin plastic and the cushioning material is EPS. Maxi-Cosi is not particularly conspicuous in terms of raw materials, but it has good evaluation results on ADAC and STIFTUNG WARENTEST.
According to the STIFTUNG WARENTEST, the only seat to receive a "SEHR GUT" rating since 2015 is the Kiddy's Evo-Luna i-Size, followed by Maxi-Cosi's Pebble Plus and Pebble Plus Isofix-Basis, both of which have a score of 1.6, and STIFTUNG WARENTEST'S "SEHR GUT (BEST)" CRITERION IS ONLY 0.1 POINTS OFF. In ADAC's tests, both models also received a "GUT (Good)" rating. It is worth mentioning that Maxi-Cosi's product strength is very stable, and 16 out of 17 Maxi-Cosi chairs have received a "GUT (Good)" rating in ADAC's evaluations over the years.
Maxi-Cosi's child safety seats are generally priced below 3,500 yuan, which is very cost-effective. Judging from the product classification on its official website, it can be divided into four groups: infants, infants, toddlers, and children. Infant (0-15 months) and infant (0-4 years) support rear-facing and bi-directional installation, respectively. Since the neck muscles of children aged 0-15 months are not strong enough to withstand the impact of forward-facing riding, it is recommended to install a rear-facing child safety seat, which has become a consensus in the industry. The i-Size (ECE R129) standard also expands the age group for rear-facing installation of child safety seats from the previous 9 months to 15 months.
In Europe, Maxi-Cosi is synonymous with the "infant car carrycot", and its infant products are all bassinet type, the biggest advantage of using a bassinet is that the baby can sleep wherever he goes, without worrying about disturbing the baby when moving to another location. The bassinet is secured to the car seat by means of a seat belt restraint. In general, there is no difference in safety between the three types of attachment between child safety seats and car seat restraints, except that the use of dedicated interfaces such as the ISOFIX interface reduces the rate of installation errors and simplifies the installation process.
For parents who are usually more careless, it is recommended to choose the Maxi-Cosi safety bassinet base with support feet, Familyfix, which has an ISOFIX connection, which can be attached to the base when in use. It is worth mentioning that the biggest advantage of the Maxi-Cosi basket is that it is highly expandable, and the interface used for its expansion has almost become the industry standard, which can be adapted to Quinny, Bugaboo and other brand carts, which is very convenient. If you want to be a stylish parent, Maxi-Coci is the way to go.
For older children, it is recommended to choose Maxi-Cosi's toddler and children's products. Different models are suitable for children of different age groups, including 9 months to 12 years (9-36kg), 3 to 12 years (15-36kg) and 0-7 years (0-32kg). These seats have a large age span and are therefore equipped with a multi-stage headrest adjustment function to match the height of the child at different ages. It is worth mentioning that Maxi-Cosi's products for young children and children are not as reliable as those for babies and infants, and its pria70 and Opal models perform poorly in the C-NCAP (China New Car Evaluation Regulations) evaluation.
