Received this today. I was surprised to see that the dotted pattern on the seat is actually a black mesh that is covering the white fabric. Still nice just thought it was going to be the pattern of the fabric, not a mesh layer on top of white. If it ever rips that would be a mega problem. It's soft enough but not smooth bc it's mesh. Installing was as expected, we are in position 3 rear facing behind driver's seat of a suburban and I didn't have to change any of my driver's seat settings. We're using the latches and it's a good snug install. Magnetic chest clip is a breeze but if your baby likes to look down while you're unclipping the chest clip (like mine) then it is pretty much in the baby's face when undoing it- which is probably the reason for other seats chest clips coming apart the way they do. It's also somewhat scratchy on the backside of the clip. The shoulder straps are big and bulky, just how they were on the Mico Max. I really wish Maxi Cosi would put more thought into the shoulder straps, making them a much softer thinner gel material that is not so stiff and uncomfortable. Probably my most favorite feature is the side air head impact protection that is actually at the perfect level for the baby's head- unlike Britax where the head protection starts at the top of the ears. It's bc Maxi Cosi (and Nuna) has the seatbelt shoulder straps higher to the head support and Britax has a big gap between the shoulder straps and head support. I never understood that. Anyway, I love Maxi Cosi bc they really are a super comfortable, safe ride for my baby. We had the Maxi Cosi Mico Max 30 before this and my baby loved it, expecting baby to love this seat for years to come. We have had Britax and Chicco seats previously for other children and Maxi Cosi is our favorite so far. If I wanted to spend more money, Nuna would be my next choice.

We love our MaxiCosi Pria 85! This is the third time we’ve bought this car seat and have been happy every time! The Rachel Zoe edition is super luxe and comfortable! Love that it’s easy to take off to clean! Great seat and a great price!

My daughter was having a hard time sleeping during car rides in her infant car seat. The minute I switched to this car seat, she fell asleep instantly! I can tell she’s so much more comfortable and she loves car rides now. Happy baby=happy mama!

We bought this seat for grandmas car. Wanted a seat that our 14 month could grow into and would last. We love this brand and have never had any problems with our past Maxi Cosi seats.

First off super easy in every way and very comfortable for your little. I’ll have to buy another for our second once she out grows her sisters old Chicco key fit 30. Only thing that was a bit annoying was for some reason it took me awhile to get use the clasp. I was the only one in the family that had an issue but after a couple days it got easier. And I’d have to say I love it. It’s so much easier and more convenient than the old style.

Fantastic car seat - easy to install, strap holders on the side make a surprising (positive) difference!

This is my second purchase of maxi cosi car seat. Love maxi cosi they make great quality products. My grand baby is safe and comfortable. Magnetic latch is helpful. Only complaint is the straps push button release you have to push hard. With long thumb nail it’s difficult to do.

Design and quality is A+!! Super love how easy to put my baby in a out because of the magnetic lock. Super worth it!

My daughter loves her new big girl car seat, she is very comfy in it too!!

This is a great find for the price. I really like the buckle and how easy it is to snap together. It also leaves a lot of extra room for the seat in front which was beneficial because my toddler needs to sit behind my husband who is 6’ 1”.

I was going to order this same exact product on amazon prime but the price was $299+. I only paid $219 on this site and got free shipping as well! I received the product in 2 days as I would’ve if I ordered from amazon prime. I’m very happy with the product overall. The seat is very safe and comfortable for my 4 month old. I was nervous about switching her from an infant seat to a transitional but this product eased my mind. Well done maxi cosi. And as for Albee baby well done also. Your customer service is great. Will be ordering from you again. Thanks

Bought this car seat after doing much research and review reading. It is very bulky and durable and takes up quite a bit of space in my SUV but got it @ a good price. Love the magnetic chest clip but the only thing that drives me bonkers is that the straps constantly get twisted!

We recently purchased the maxi cosi 85 max for my daughter after loving the maxi 85 for my son for the last three years! I have to say both seats are amazing but the max is just that much better!!! I love the magnetic clasp and the bottom buckle staying forward is awesome! We are so happy with this purchase and our MAxi cosi’s!!!!

I love how the straps and the buckle move out of the way. The padding is comfortable and soft. It was an easy install.

We purchased this car seat for our 9 month old and we love it. Very comfortable, soft, and protective. The strap holders are a added plus as well. The magnet feature on the clip makes putting child in car seat very easy. Love the style and appearance of this. Car seat is wider than her others giving her more room and more comfort.

This carseat is good for my daughter. Easy to put the belts on and I like the hooks that can hild the belts when not in use. It makes it easy to put my daughte in and out. Comfy cushion with extra cushion for the smaller babies. I recommend this product.

We bought the Pria 85 2 years ago for my older child and need another one for my 2nd child. We get the Pria Max this time and the Clip is an improvement. It's so easy to put on. The quality of the Rachel Zoe Lux Sport also very nice.

We bought two of them for our twin girls. They instantly fell in love with it. They love more up position and are not crying When we drive in the car! Love love love it!!:)

my baby loved it since the beginning, the clip at first its kind of tricky but once you got it its easy to open. it looks very cozy.

Purchased for all the extras, the magnetic clip and flip buckle all save me time. Seat is very plush and comfortable, baby seems to think so too. Matches interior of car perfectly!

The shipping was really fast. I ordered over the weekend and it was at mu home within 4 business days! Our baby is not due to arrive until July, but I wanted to open it and it looks amazing! Everything was in place! I have been telling everyone about albeebaby! I will be purchasing our stroller from here soon!

This is not the easiest to install but once in place it is comfy for the little one and nice looking in the car. We have used this for almost half a year and no issue.

Baby loves the seat but it was just larger than I anticipated. Overall was nice since you do pay the price for it.

Very comfortable My two kids they both use maxi cosi Older one is 5years old still fit.

I know high quality when I see it,, this car seat is it and more!!! I am so happy for my 10 month old granddaughter, I am sure she will see this car seat through up until she’s grown out of it. The cup holder is a plus!! The Rachel Zoe sport edition is nice and coincidentally matches my sporty Camry!!

I ordered this for my grandson who is 4 month old. He loves it! The one handed chest clip is great (if you need a traditional clip, they will send you one)! Having the strap holders are convenient. I love that it grows with my grandson!

Love this seat! Premium fabric, comfy for our little one, and most importantly super safe. I like that the cover comes off for washing without having to unthread the harness. The straps are a bit tricky to tighten, but it’s easy if you pull them in the back before pulling on the front strap. Will definitely be buying this seat again when our second baby transitions to a convertible seat.

I love this car seat and wish I had bought 2 of these when Albee Baby was running a great sale. The magnetic clip is SO easy to use, it makes getting in and out so simple and can be done with one hand. My baby is comfortable and safe in this seat.

Bought this for my newborn.This carseat is the most comfy carseat. It's easy to use after you get used to the magnetic chest clip. The interior snaps off for easy cleaning. I'm buying a second one for my preschooler. Thanks maxi cosi!

We bought this car seat as an extra seat for my husbands car and it ended up being my primary car seat because my daughter loves it! We bought this color because it was on sale and it ended up being really cute! Seat is comfortable, safe and easy to install!

It is suitable for a Big Baby with a large space, and it can be used cleanly because it can wash the sheet.

This car seat is right for my granddaughter. It is sturdy and she can climb onto it safely for us to strap her down.

Great deal and very comfortable plus you get points for the purchase

I bought 2 of these seats for my 21 month identical twin boys. I was very happy with how fast they arrived and how easily I was able to install them. The best part though was when I first put them in their new seats. They have always hated the car no matter what we do, they would cry after 10 minutes of being in their other carseats. They actually loved these new seats no crying and they both fell asleep in 15 minutes with no tears. I was shocked, and they continue to love their seats after 1.5 weeks of using extensively everyday. I have used lots of seats over the years as I am a mom of 12 kids, and I have to say this seat is my favorite so far. It fits perfectly with 2 next to eachother in my 2005 Excursion, I love the fabric, and the magnetic chest clip is awesome especially with 2 wiggly kids to put in. My sons love the cup holder and the moisture wicking fabric since they seem to sweat a lot when they sleep, plus how cozy it feels with still being safe. Plus, the picture does not do the pattern and look of this seat justice it is very eye catching, it is a mix of slate and black design of intricate triangles with the black head support, which makes it really stand out in a good way. I am very happy with my purchase just wish I had not waited as long to buy it since it would have saved us from so many long crying car rides we endured in the past. I did a lot of research and with so many seats out there it took a long time since I was hoping this purchase could fix our frustrating drives and it has. This is the last seat they will need, but if we ever need another seat for another child Maxi Cosi will be what we buy.

I bought this car seat for my mother in law’s car, my son likes it, very comfortable with clips that hold straps out of the way which makes loading him in/ out much easier. The magnetic chest strap is really neat and can be manipulated with one hand but the button clip is still so hard to push that I had to purchase a car seat key for my MIL to push the button. Someday a car seat company will make a seat that people with arthritis or hand limitations and manipulate!

Everything i expected. My son loves it and he seems so comfortable in it.

Very comfortable. Soft material. Easy to clean.

This is our 2nd Pria 85 Max...we love it! Decided to add an additional car seat for 2 family cars.

we replaced uppa baby infant seat with this one. it's a lot roomier and bulkier. was easy to install, beautiful colour, comfortable seat. haven't washed the cover yet, but knowing that i can keeps me happy. overall a good seat. i have 3 children and i have been buying from albeebaby every carseat that we owned.

Easy to work and very comfortable and cool.

My daughter is so comfy in her new car seat! We are a Maxi Cosi family and love their products and how easy they are to install and to keep clean!

I thought it was too big when I first got it, but one in the car it’s perfect and my baby is comfortable in it.

We've had a couple different brands of car seats over the years and this is our favorite so far. It's perfect for our one year old and our 3 year old. The cup holder is a nice bonus!

My darling baby girl loves this seat from the first moment I strapped her into it (17 months) . It shipped right on time and communication concerning when i would receive it was great. Easy to tighten and loosen the straps and plenty of cushion which is also removable to keep her more than comfortable. I love that the head cushions are nice and plush enough that keeps her head secured even if she falls asleep preventing her from hunching over or getting neck cramps. Would recommend to anyone!

This was easy to install but does take up a lot of space. We have a sedan and can still fit two other people in the backseat but it's tight. That being said, our 10 month old son is comfortable, sleeps well and enjoys having his own cup holder.

But it’s seems a pretty nice car seat. Material is nice and soft but not too soft and definitely not too plush. I like it so far. For the price that we got it it’s a nice buy($199, on sale)

I really like this carseat. It is heavy and was a little tricky getting it placed in the car rear-facing. I haven't had to wash the liner yet but my brother has this carseat and said it is easy to take off and wash. I took one star off for how hard it is to tighten the straps and the straps twist really easily. Otherwise I am very happy with it would recommend it. My son seems to like it too and does not complain about getting in it.

And we are back for number 3! We love these carseats. They are made well, breathable (hot or cold conditions), comfy, baby can use for a long time and they are worth every penny! This is our newest one, since purchasing one in 2014. They have updated several features and I love it. The clasp is nicer and so much easier. Best Carseat Ever!

My daughter (3.5) is comfy and happy so we are buying this seat for our 9 month old boy as well. We have had to take the seat apart many times and clean due to our poor little poppet's car sickness and it was a breeze!

The seat is beautiful and my daughter loves it! The magnet chest clip is nice, did take a little to get used to though. Might buy a second one

We have had the car seat for a few weeks. So far, my daughter is loving it. Husband says it was easy to set up.

My daughter loves her new car seat. I'm very glad that I ordered this color, very beautiful and stylish!

This car seat is wonderful and the colors are beautiful. Its heavy and sturdy. I also found a step by step video on how to install it on youtube. Very great buy and the price was unbeatable. I already own a pria 85 and the fabric has held up nicely for over two years with my older daughter, I believe this would do the same. This is the only car seat your child would ever need it is certainly worth every penny. I won't even bother posting a picture because it looks exactly like what is pictured here. Just buy it!!!

After months of researching convertible car seats, I took a chance and ordered the Maxi Cosi Pria 85 max. We live in NYC and don’t have a car, so I wanted something comfortable for road trips, easy to install, and not too heavy to take in and out of rental cars. We just took a 7 hour trip with our 14 month old son (who previous hated being in the car) and he didn’t fuss once! The installation was a breeze, and our little guy looked comfortable and relaxed the entire way. I would highly recommend this seat.

This car seat puts our old Graco one to shame. It is just better quality overall. The fabric is beautiful. It looks expensive. The padding makes me jealous that I can't sit in this car seat lol. We also bought the sun shade for it.

Very nicely made ,my daughter loves it looks very comfortable lot of space

belt is very easy head support is big and thick. I think it is safe for my baby.

We love the maxi cosi 85 max. It's so comfortable for babe. Straps hard to tighten on install but once you get them tight, it's very secure.

Baby loves her new seat. It's plush and comfy, and she especially likes the deep cup holder. It is pretty bulky, so be aware if you have a smaller car with a taller driver, you might have some space issues. Also, I found it a bit difficult to get the pathing correct for Latch installation, but overall, it was pretty easy to install. Also, when it comes to getting her strapped in, taken out, or tightening the straps, it's the easiest seat I've ever owned. The fabric could be a bit softer, but it's easy to spot clean. Also, this pattern is a lot more attractive in person than in pictures. I'd absolutely buy this seat again.

We own an older model of this car seat. We like the little upgrades that were made including the side clasps and the magnetic straps.

My baby and I love it. It seems like my baby looks very comfortable when she is on the carseat. Though the seat buckle button is quite tough, but I can handle it.

We are happy with our choice to purchase this car seat. It's our 3rd maxi Cosi is 10 years and the quality is great. My on ly complaint is the 3 position recline. It's very hard to adjust. Our other one 9 years ago was much easier. I can't tell if its moving when I'm adjusting it, or the whole seat is moving.

This is a really good car seat. Material is soft, color is beautiful and does not have chemical smell. The magnetic clip is an amazing feature.

I have nothing good to say about the installation - the amount of strength and dexterity required seem preposterous. And we definitely won't be moving this between vehicles! But now that the seat is in, it's super comfy for our son, and a huge upgrade from the Graco we previously had, even though that was a top of the line model. Mostly, I'm really glad to finally switch to a seat not loaded with flame retardants and other toxic chemicals.

We really like this car seat! Magnetic buckle is the bomb!!! So easy to buckle her in and take her out. It has three recline positions for the backward facing- she is now one year and we will try to seat her this way for as long as possible and this car seat is big And comfortable for that!We got the red orchid color- love it! So bright and colorful! I was scared about the stains, but we have been using it for three weeks now and no stains yet! Plus- it is good for laundry machine and dryer!

The magnetic clip is so convenient!!

It is a great convertible car seat that for new born baby. The material is so soft and comfortable. Also, it is easy to take off and wash it.

Safe, secure and comfortable. Graphic Flower design is sleek, pretty and color combo pairs well together.

The color is beautiful, and it lives up to its name of being "Maxi Cosi." Our baby hated her old car seat and while she's not in love with this new one, it's made car rides muuuuuch more bearable for EVERYONE.

My baby loves this car seat . She always fall asleep quickly! The fabric is soft and beautiful.

Love this car seat! Not only does it scream classy, it is super comfortable! It was easy to install and I love how the straps tuck in on the sides for easy ins and outs. I'm also in love with the magnetic chest strap. I haven't had to wash it yet, but I'm excited about how easily the cover snaps on/off. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

We recently upgraded our son's car seat from infant to this convertible. The look of the this one is really beautiful. It is easy to install and adjust. When baby sits in, he feels really comfortable and safe. The safety belts are easy to be tighten. Even though I saw some comments about this issue, we never meet this problem. The best part of Albee Baby is good price and super fast shipping!

This car seat is big enough for my baby and seems quite safe.

My son loves this car seat. It is wide, comfy, and he gets a great view! It took a little bit of time to adjust to the chest clip, but now I can undo it with one hand and don't think my son could manage to undo it even with lots of fiddling (he unbuckled the chest clip on his previous car seat multiple times). My only complaints are that once the straps twist they are really hard to untwist and that the seat tends to be a bit warm for summer days.

super easy to install via the latch system. Seemed a bit wobbly at first but I think its ok. Really like the way it looks. Baby is comfortable in it, love the moisture wicking fabric! just bought a 2nd one for our other car!

We ordered this car seat after our daughter outgrew her infant seat. Installation is pretty easy, but it did take some wrangling to get the LATCH straps tight enough. The clips on the side to hold the arms straps are a great feature because our daughter hates sitting on the hard plastic pieces. We haven't had to wash the seat cover yet, but we've removed it and it comes off and on easily.

We have a Britax Boulevard and found it a little small for a two-year old. I have heard so many good things about Maxi-cosi that we decided to buy a 85 max so that the two-year old can move to this car seat and the one year old can use the Boulevard. It turns out that our daughter loves it. It provides much more space than the Boulevard and has a cup holder. It's perfect!

After weeks of researching all of the best car seats on the market, I settled on the Pria 85. While it is pricer than many models on the market, it will be the only car seat we ever need! The cushions are thick and responsive, and I feel confident that our little one will be very safe in this seat. Beyond the functionality and safety of this seat, the Nomad Green color is beautiful and looks great with our cream leather interior!

The magnetic chest clip is easy to use. Color and quality is excellent. And Albee ships fast!

We already own this seat and needed a second. We love it!! The seat is narrow enough so there is room for 3 car seat across the back seat. The only issue we have is tightening the strap. Sometimes it seems to stick so we really have to give a good tug.

I'm a nanny who watches children of various ages! I love that I can easily adjust this car seat without rerouting the straps and fits kids from newborn up to 40 pounds when rear facing. Its also such a cute style, comfortable for the babies, and incredibly safe. My all time favorite car seat!

I purchase this seat to replace my daughters infant car seat. It was incredibly easy to install. I was worried it wouldn't fit well in my car, but it fits wonderfully. I have a Subaru I'mpreza sedan. It sits up higher than her previous seat, and she loves being able to see out the windows. Seat is really cushy and comfy. She looks extremely content sitting in it. Very easy to get her in and out of as well. Very pleased with my purchase!

Fast shipping and good price

This is such a nice carseat, it's comfy and cute. My daughter absolutely loves it! It has a metal quick connect which is very useful. The straps don't get all twisted like other carseats. This is highly recommened, you and your kids will love it! Go for the maxi Cosi 85 max.

I am really liking this carseat. It is very roomy and my little boy seems very comfortable while in it. I do have to say installing is no where as easy as other I have owned. But once I finally got it tightened up it seems secure. Also the straps are a bit difficult to snug up but hoping over time it will get easier with additional use.

The car seat appears really well made and comfortable. The magnetic clip is a nice touch but nothing earth shattering considering you still clip in near the legs. It is a little bulkier than some others so if you don't have a lot of room you may want to look elsewhere but this is a really nice car seat and would recommend it.

Great price & fast shipping. Color is a little more olive in person.

My daughter love her new car seat! We used to have Pria70. We need to buy another car seat for my second baby. I saw this pattern Pria 85 and I love it. Plus it was on sale. Great deal!!!

Recently upgraded from the Maxi Cosi Pria 70. This has more room for my three year old, easy to install, and the magnetic buckle is great. Fabric feels somewhat rougher than the Pria 70, but it also feels less absorbent which is good.

bought it on valentine day,good price,good service, love it.

Great quality and very comfortable my baby loves it wish I had bought it sooner only car seat youll need !

The Red Orchid is the most beautiful color combo that Maxi Cosi has come up with!! Just stunning!!My husband can't get enough of the magnetic chest clip--it really is amazing!! I wish they had that clip on the Pria 70 that we have for our other 2 children!The seat pad--it comes in 2 pieces: 1 piece is the bottom pad for raising the kiddo(baby) up. It's very thick and supportive! And 1 piece is the Side Bumper piece(in purple). This was not very clear in the photos that the 2 pieces were able to be separated and I almost didn't buy this seat because I wasn't sure!The chest clip pad is a lot bigger than on the Pria 70! It extends far enough to go under the chest clip(if the chest clip is put in the proper position)! We love this feature!All in all, this seat is amazing and has a lot of upgrades that the Pria 70 doesn't have! I do wish that this seat had the full extra seat pad for comfort like the Pria 70 does. But other than, this seat is perfect!! And the color is just amazing!!!

perfect, we got it in one day

I did a lot of research and decided on the Pria 85 Max. Albee Baby had a great selection at $50 under other sites, and with the Presidents Day sale and an additional $50 off I couldn't pass it up. I decided on the triangle black as I liked the color a lot and I got it for $199!

Love how easy it is to use. The magnetic clip and harness holds make getting in and out super easy and fast. The color is fun and stylish. Great quality overall.

After doing a lot of research on car seats I decided that this one would be the safest. Also, my Aunt has one for her kid and my friend has the Graco Forever, and this one is much softer and more comfortable! This is such an amazing price! I'm so happy with my purchase. https://kidsafetyfirst.com/maxi-cosi-pria-85-max-review

Super fast shipping! My daughter and I love it.
