Can I use the maxi cosi pebble pro without the isofix base?

We are planning to get the maxi cosi pebble pro car seat and use it with the isofix base in our car.

There will be times we’ll want to take the baby in a taxi with a car seat strapped in with the seat belt. Can we do this with the maxi cosi? I don’t want to have to get 2 car seats.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I’m struggling with information overload and decision fatigue with all the things to do and learn as a first time mum.

Yes according to the Maxi Cosi website Smile

Yes when you look at the car seat you can see the 3 point harness. 2 at the side one at the back.

Brilliant, thank you! I somehow managed to overlook that when I checked their site 🤯

I think they must think it's so obvious it doesn't need to be stated :o Not so much when you're new to the car seat thing.

Generally infant car seats which can't be separately fitted with a seatbelt are a rarity. You can defo do this with the Pebble (all variants).

Only one thing to note with this one - because of the low height limit of it, it's usually outgrown before a year. Would that be a problem for you? Car seats with a height limit >80cm or which are purely weight based (not i-size) typically last over a year, to around 15-18 months as an average, longer for small babies/toddlers.
