help me please before i throw a maxi cosi out of the window

[snowsuit]

i bought a used maxi cosi for my nanny to use. she doesn't have isofix so will use it with the seatbelt. however it was given to me on the base and i can't get the bloody thing off! been wrestling with it for the best part of an hour. can anyone who owns one tell me: is it the grey button at the front that you press? there's also a grey plastic thing at the front of the seat and when i press that it slides backwards and forwards but doesn't come off. aargh!

Push the grey bit towards the lights and lift the seat. If it's this base

Oo i might have my instructions somewhere is it the pebble?

Squeeze the grey bit on the base in and wiggle the car seat off. Mine gets stuck sometimes too. It's a bit like a stiff door lock sometimes you have to wiggle it about a bit to get it to unlatch.

Just
Look at the video on you tube

Any use?

thanks everyone! i think it is a priori. i'll post a pic of what i see. i've been pushing the button at the front and trying to wiggle it off but it doesn't even budge. is it busted?

I had that one. It doesn’t come off the base - it’s an isofix Seat the base is attached to it. It can’t be belted in.

nooooo!!! well that at least explains why it won't come off. thank you invisimamma for saving me several more hours of swearing at it.

Is her car definitely not got isofix? Am sure theres a website where you can check compatbility!

no definitely not isofix, it's a tiny very old car :(

Doh, what a pain!

If you need a cheap group 1 seat with seatbelt fit I would recommend:

Britax Prince/Eclipse

Halford's Own Group 0/1/2 seat

Joie Elevate/Elevate 2
