Maxi Cosi Priorifix

Bought this for my 1 year old. Very sturdy and feel she's very secure in it. Only downside is that it's very heavy when moving between cars. She's confortable in it and loves that it's quite high so she can see out the window!

Pretty pricey but so easy to use and so guaranteed to deliver peaceful car journies with sleeping child! It's not too easy to move between cars so suits parents who don't need to do this or have a second car seat for grandparents'/holiday use. Very easy to reach back with one hand and recline for sleeps and reassuringly simple isofix fittings.

We've got the ISOFIX one.

Very easy to install. We have used it from 9 months and DS is now nearly 3 and still happy in it. We got it because of the good safety record and because we were happy with our Maxi Cosi cabriofix.

It has faded badly in the sun and is heavy so not very practical to move between cars, but we don't do this so not a problem. We have had it installed in a Honda Civic and a Toyota Verso.

It is tricky to put your finger in to adjust the length of the straps but I guess it is like that to stop the toddler being able to do it.

Having said all this I did not buy a second one for my DD as we now know that rear facing at this stage is safer.

We bought this for the isofix fitting, to install in our VW Touran. It is very easy to fit and remove but is heavy, so if you are regularly moving it between cars this might be a problem for you.

It is expensive, but we went for the same brand as our baby seat (Cabriofix) which we were really pleased with.

My daughter has been using this since August 2007 and it still looks as good as new. All manner of things spilt on it but you would never know.

Even our 72 year old Grandma can get her in and out of it, although poking a finger in the belt adjuster to lengthen the straps causes some problems for her.

Great.

The PrioriXP but with Isofix. All the good points of the XP - safe, easy one handed recline, straps held out of the way..

DS looked tiny when we first moved him from his first stage seat but now seem comfy and he's only 20months! Not sure it'll last all the way to four years, but they slow down growing don't they?

Love the isofix fitting, so easy to get right, very cross with lousy Vauxhall customer service as they said we didn't have it when we were shopping for 1st seat - and well done to nice lady at baby stuff shop who knew what she was on about!

It is heavy to move between cars but we don't do it often so not a real issue.

And it is expensive.
