Anyone got the Maxi-Cosi Tobi?

I've read some really good reviews of it and we liked it when we tried it in our car... but I have also read some negative reviews with a common theme of the straps becoming loose over time and being hard to tighten.

Has anyone any experience of this? Thanks Smile

I love our tobi and feel it is a very secure seat but have to say to tighten the straps I sit in the front of the car and pull hard!

I used it for dd and am currently using it for ds, but the straps are an absolute nightmare, and I would steer clear if I were you.

Ah, this is what I feared. It looked so fab in the car, loved how high it was and cosy - really wanted it to be perfect but the straps thing is bothering me.

Thanks for confirming that though!
