This is a great convertible car seat that will certainly stay with baby from birth all the way through the car seat years. The comfort level, easy of unbuckling the harness and overall weight limit make this an ideal car seat for new parents. The material is so soft and comforting. Pria 85 Max is a premium baby car seater available on the market. And it compatible with major cars, it even suits in our Honda Jazz (compact car, see attached) - Definitely worth buying.

I love the versatility of this and how long a child can use this car seat. A definite money saver but also a very practical buy. The features are great including the flexible cup holder. It won't break or crack - so very nice! Love the many colors and designs this comes in! It would suit any parent's style! The seat itself is very soft and comfy feeling for baby and I feel very comfortable using this for our infant or toddler! Thanks for making such a great product! 

My son has torticollis neck, spine and hip are affected by it. Finding a right car seat for him is a challenge. After spending hours and hours of reviewing car seats. My husband and i think this might be the best car seat out there for him. He is a skinny baby and needs head support along with proper support along his side and button for him not bear weight on one side. I have heard amazing things from friends about this car seat and we are excited to give it a try. Many car seats are not built for skinny babies. Babies bodies are so fragile and can easily be molded that they need the proper support around them and this car seat seems like it will do exactly what we need! Thank you Maxi Cosi, - Mom of two boys

A friend recommended this seat for our five year old. He finds it very comfortable and we love the easy to fasten strap at the top. Our five year old only wants to go in the car with the Maxi-Cosi seat

We love this car seat. Easy to install and we just love all the safety features. It looks great too! Baby seems to enjoy the seat as well. Love how the seat cover removes easily for cleaning! 

Love this car seat for my 3 year old! The padding is very comfortable and high quality. The magnetic latch is easy and convenient for a one hand opening. Very easy to install. I would definitely recommend this car seat! 

Here are some things I love about the Pria 85 Max: * The lightweight, breathable fabric. Even in the heat, the black fabric feels cool and airy. * The magnetic chest clip. Latches very easily and once you get used to unlatching it, it is very smooth. But still complex enough that my 2 year old cannot figure out how to unlatch it. * The straps are easy to tighten and losen and there are clips that you can hang the straps to keep them out of the way while your getting your child in and out of the car. * Very easy to adjust the height of the carseat as my little one grows. * The seat seems overall very comfortable. My daughter never complains about being in the seat, she loves the cup holder, and if she falls asleep her head tends to stay in place rather than falling forward. What would I change about the car seat? * The latch system can only be tightened on one side. This makes it harder to get the seat nice and tight. It is certainly still possible to get it tight where it doesn't move at all, but it takes a little more effort. * It is a wider seat. This doesn't bother me, but for folks looking to fit 3 seats in one row, I'm not sure that this would be your best option.

I highly recommend this car seat super easy to put my son in and out . Love the comfort and sung fit it provides him and seems to love it also. I love it thanks maxi cosi.

The Pria 85 Max is durable and safe, with its advanced air cushion system that is both sleek and comfortable for my baby. As a germaphobe, it is nice to know that the fabric is safe for the washing machine!

We LOVE this car seat!! The all black is very chic looking and its super comfortable too! The material is amazing and machine washable which is a huge plus! Since we often like to give our daughter snacks in her seat! The head impact cushions beside her head look very safe which makes us feel confident about using this seat in case we are ever in an accident! (But hopefully we wont be!) Installing this car seat was so much easier than I had expected too! You simply click in two straps under the seat then press the seat down while someone yanks the tightening strap as tight as possible! I was always afraid to have to install a car seat on my own, but not anymore!! We will definitely be recommending this seat to friends and family! :)

I am totally in love with his car seat. Everything about it is great. It's so comfortable, and so easy to maintain clean. I just love the fact that I can take the Pad and harness covers out and throw in the wash/dry machine, makes my life easier with two toddlers. The Clipquik was a little hard for me to  used to at the beginning, but after u get the hang of it is great. The car seat isn't heavy so it makes it easier to install in the car. I just love the look and all the great feautures that's comes with it. Its very comfortable my baby loves it. I am very happy with it. 

We received a free unit to test and I am glad we did. I have three small children and their safety is always my top concern. This not only gives me peace of mind but seems very well made, easy to install, and not extremely heavy like others we have tried! The magnetic chest clip makes it simple and I really like being able to recline the seat itself. I struggled at first with figuring out how to adjust the head-rest but once I understood how it worked it became much easier.

Our 8-month-old son loves this car seat so much better than the infant car seat! He has a temporary cranial helmet for flatness and we were looking to upgrade so he wouldn't feel tight. This solved the problem and he finally enjoys car rides (rear facing) and can look out the window. The material on this car seat is wonderful and glad to know it's machine washable. Overall, this car seat is larger but the actual look and feel is even better than Britax (previously owned). Looking forward to using this car seat for a few more years!

We use the car seat daily. It is very easy to install and getting our son in and out is quick and easy.

We received this convertible seat as a gift, and even though our daughter was still comfortable in her infant car seat we were too excited to use the new car seat to wait any longer to install it. The installation was even easier than the infant seat and provoked none of the murmuring under breath. Even though our daughter is on the smaller size, the inserts and adjustability of the seat allows her to be snug and comfortable. The magnet chest clip is convenient, as are the holders to keep the straps out of the way as you try to wrangle a squirmy child's arms. Obviously the most important feature of any car seat is keeping the child safe and we can tell just by the appearance of the seat's Air Protect that the Pria 85 Max is keeping our child protected. Given its ability to be cleaned and its durable design, we are excited to have this seat in which our little nugget will grow.

I received this free car seat in exchange for reviewing the product and providing my feedback and I like it very well. It was easy for me to install as I am experienced with car seats! It has also been easy to keep clean as you can remove parts of it pretty easily and clean it and replace it without much hassle. It also seems like a very comfortable fit for my smaller child. I like the padding as well. The only issue I noticed is the harness is a little hard to tighten but I still think overall it is a great car seat.

I'm in love with this carseat. It's super light, comfortable and easy to get in and out of the base and easy to install in the car. I highly recommend. 

Beautiful fabric, easy to use chest clip, and solid.

I received a free sample of this car seat to review. I used the car seat in both rear facing settings and my 7 month old loved the padding and was very comfortable. Both my husband and I appreciated the one handed harness release on the chest clip, though it took a few uses to getting acclimated to compared to other carseats we`ve used in the past. For a mom of a child who spits up frequently, the ability to easily remove portions of the car seat cover to wash saved time and hassle. The only major issue I had was with installation. Though the directions were clear, I could not get a good installation of this seat until I took it to a certified technician, and even then it took quite a bit of time to install in my van. The carseat is also very bulky (but not that heavy), so I wouldn`t recommend it for frequent removal and installation. I enjoy the fact that the carseat goes up to 85 lbs forward facing as I prefer to keep my children in a harness carseat as long as possible. Overall I would recommend this product to others.

We really like the car seat. My son is 5.5 months and fits him great, so much better than the infinite car seat. I like how comfortable and plush the fabric is. However, I do not like how cheap the safety buckle is and that there is no level to make sure the car seat is in properly.

I received the Pria Max Car Seat for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I fell in love with this car seat as soon as I took it out of the box. It is so soft. The amount of padding makes me feel as tho my child is safer. My child is also in love with how comfortable the padding is and can't wait to get in the car (which was a struggle before) My only concern with the padding is that it does make the seat a little bulky, so if you have a smaller vehicle like mine with multiple car seats, seating arrangements can be a little tricky. For the most part We love this car seat.

This a great car seat!! It can be used as a rear facing car seat for an infant. It is so easy to get your a baby in and out of the Pria85 Max. There is a flip away buckle that stays out of the way as your transfer your baby in and out of the seat. It also has a magnetic chest clip, which makes the process easier and faster. The seat has lots of padding which makes the seat very safe. This seat is built with a air cushion system which keeps your baby safer, especially if you are in a crash.The padding is washable and my baby seem so comfortable when she is in the seat.

It comes in a bunch of colors.

I love this car seat! Maxi Cosi is synonymous with excellent quality but this car seat is a level above. It was easy to install and has been much easier to use than the prior car seats we have owned. Plus the fabric has a nice texture and feels plush (lot of padding all over - if I could fit I would take a nap in this car seat). My favorite feature is the buckle that automatically flips out. As my daughter has grown (she is now 3) it's gotten harder (and more annoying) to get her into the car seat without the buckle getting stuck underneath her, and that isn't happening with this buckle, it's so much easier. My second favorite thing is the magnetic chest clip; once you get the hang of how to open it it's super easy and faster because you only have to use one hand, and it doesn't pinch or get stuck like the plastic one did on the Graco convertible we last had. Plus my daughter can't slide it up and down and try to escape like she used to. She actually wants to get into her car seat now because she likes to do the chest clip herself. We also like how high up she sits in the seat because it allows her to see out both side windows. I would recommend this seat to anyone looking for a convertible car seat.

I did a review of the Pria 85 Max car seat in exchange for the seat. As a mother of four I have used many car seats over the years and this one is by far one of the best. some of the features I like are the size is roomy and seems comfortable but yet its not super bulky and heavy which is helpful since the seats get moved from car to car. It fits a large variety of sizes. So I can use it for more than one kid. The head wings are great since many times my kids will fall asleep and it helps support their head. My only problem was the straps were a little hard to tighten but since most car seats straps are hard to tighten it wasn`t that bad. overall the seat was great and I plan to continue to use it in the future.

This car seat looks really nice, especially in black, and is also very comfortable to sit in for my toddler. She has said that this seat is more comfortable than the last one we had. On long rides, she normally falls asleep. I noticed that her head leans back better, thus making her neck look more comfortable and less awkward. The only problem with the seat is that the straps are a little difficult to tighten. It takes several tugs in order to tighten the straps to where they should be.

I received this car seat for free to review and overall, I like the product. It seems to be a high quality car seat and it was quite easy to install in my SUV. It was a little more challenging to install in my husband's truck. My little peanut is still too small for this seat, but I think it is going to be a great option that is going to last a long time.

I received a free sample of this carseat to review, and I was really impressed with it`s ease and design. This car seat goes from an infant car seat (5 lbs) to an 85 pound seat. This saves a lot of money, as I`ve had to purchase multiple car seats previously for both of my children as they`ve gotten bigger and outgrown their previous seats. That is my favorite thing about this seat. I`ve always used Graco car seats before because of their ease, but again, had to purchase new seats when the kids outgrew the design. The features on this car seat are very similar (installation, use), making it easy to use and to put into cars. I love the forward facing option of being able to use the seat belt to put the seat in. The chest harness buckle has a different way of buckling instead of just snapping into place. This can be confusing, but actually beneficial as my 2 year old figured out how to unbuckle the easier design, but cannot buckle this model on his own. The car seat is expensive, but if you factor in only having to buy 1 car seat over many years, it will save you money in the long run.

I received this free car seat in the mail and I absolutely LOVE IT. My kids are always fighting over who can use it that day. I recommend it because it is extremely easy to install and fits snugly.  I love that it has a wide range of weight limit so they will get the most use out of it! 

I was very lucky to receive this car seat for free in exchange for my honest feedback. My daughter was a little shy of a year and still in her infant seat but was certainly growing out of it. I needed a bigger seat that she could still be rear facing in and grow with. This seat is perfect for that! I love the rear facing options, the easy of the straps, the washable fabric and the cup holder! My little one loves putting her cup in there as well as anything else she can find to stuff in there. The only cons are that the buckle took me a little while to adjust to how to slide it and the seat is a little bulky in my Jetta. Overall, I am very happy with this seat and look forward to passing it down to the next child once my little one is done with it!

So great! My son loves this seat. It took me a while to get use to the buckle but otherwise everything has been perfect! Looks great, is comfortable and safe! 

I received the Pria 85 Max as a free sample to review and my daughter loves it. She fits in it so comfortably and she is very well supported. I love the deep recline adjustment because it puts her in the perfect position and she typically falls right to sleep.

Amazing!!!

I was sent this car seat to use and review and I must say it if you're on edge of buying it and just need one last push, here's your push. I though the car seat was great. So much room, and the way it's positioned is more of a sitting position than laying down, which I thought was different, and so much better. It's bigger than normal, but it definitely seems a lot safer, and more comfortable for the child. It's much roomier than your average car seat. There isn't really anything I could say that they could improve about this car seat because I liked it so much. I would give this car seat a 5 star rating!

I received a free sample of this car seat and overall impressed with the functionality. It fits well in the car and my daughter seems to love the comfort. It's a mini throne for babies!

Great for both my 18 month old and my 3 year old!

As an FYI, I received the car seat for free in exchange for a fair review. Hope this is helpful. Firstly, the green color is very classy - stylish striping and heathering and much more sophisticated looking than any of the other 4 car seats we have.  For installation, this is about the same as other convertible car seats. It takes a while to read the manual, but the manual is thorough and fairly clear. Time-wise, it installs similarly to other car seats. Getting my 3-year-old son in and out of the car seat is pretty easy and he can get the top buckle done by himself much more easily than the clips where he has to insert one side into the other. That brings me to one concern I have with the car seat, though - the top clip is magnetic. I think it has some sort of mechanical locking mechanism too but the fact that it closes with a magnet makes me a bit nervous--doesn`t seem like it may be as secure as the clips with truer locks. Also, if you (or grandparents/kids) have a medical implant that can be affected by magnets, you shouldn`t use it (but the manual says they`ll send a different mechanism for free if you need one). The lock is very easy to release with one hand, which is useful! The bottom/crotch buckle is similar to other seats and works well. The seat has lots of nice comfort features and the head rest seems much better since it keeps my toddler`s head from falling all the way to the side when he sleeps in the seat. Also, it has a nice built-in cupholder. However, the cupholder isn`t big enough to hold his sip cups, just a standard size water bottle. Also, my son didn`t like the padded shoulder straps, since they pressed up on his neck a bit, even though they seemed nice to me. The padded inserts for infants also look super cozy and comfortable but I didn`t try the seat with my infant since I prefer the seats that can be popped out and carried when they`re really young. Overall, my son likes the new seat and I do too - it`s like the Lazy Boy of car

First thing you notice when you take this out of the box is that it`s both beautiful, and extremely luxurious looking and feeling.   It was overal pretty easy to install. (I was using the latch system, rear facing, in my Nissan Rogue). We recently became foster parents, so when the opportunity came to receive this car seat for free in exchange for my honest review, it was perfect timing. I was nervous, but it was so much easier than I expected.  Being that my husband and I are pretty tall, we didn`t find that it compromised our space.  It find it easy to get a child in and out of it and he seems to enjoy it.  The color I got is the light green.  It`s very Plush. My husband calls it the lazy boy of car seats.  As a foster parent I love that I can fit children of all ages in this as needed.   Not having my own children and this being the first time needing a car seat for a baby, I am very pleased with the over all easy, feel and look of it.  The cover is also easy to remove so I can wash and sanitize it.  I am very happy with this product. 

It was larger then the other kind and seems safer 

First of all, I'd like to say that we received a free sample of this car seat for this review. When we first got the car seat, the first thing we noticed was that it was very nice looking and the material was very soft. This is our first car seat, so it took us a good 30-40 minutes or so to play around with the various parts, pieces, and attachments. This is where the directions came in handy. Without them, I'm not really sure we would have figured it all out. One really nice feature about this car seat is that it can be modified as your child grows up, so that will certainly come in handy as our little one grows. It also has the ability for the fabric to be removed and be washed, which is a nice feature. In conclusion, we really liked this car seat. We think you'd be very happy with this model and would highly recommend it.

Love the new magnetic strap addition! It feels secure with a click and won't pinch baby's fingers. Fabric is plush and soft. Easy to install and sits flatter than most car seats on seat. Love it!

This car seat was an amazing addition to my family. It was easy to put in the car which is huge for me.  The other car seat I had was impossible for me to put in. This I was able to do with no struggle! It is easy to tighten and strap in, also another plus. This also isn't just a car seat you use when your child turns 2. It's 5-85 lbs so instead of buying 2 car seats you only need this one! I wish I knew about this when I had my first child! So easy to clean as well! Highly recommended. 

This is a great carseat! Love the easy magnetic chest buckle, makes getting baby in quick and easy! Also the quality is amazing. The fabric is soft, yet durable and machine washable! And most importantly, I feel confident my child is safe.

So far I've been very pleased with our new Pria 85 Max. The fabric feels very smooth and luxe, and I find myself "poking" the seat to feel the plush cushions. I love that we will be able to remove and wash the fabrics, which will come in handy I'm sure in the next few years! I appreciate the harness holders feature to keep the straps to the side while we load and unload. I don't use them every single time, but for when my kiddo is extra rambunctious it is nice to have the extra help organizing all the straps. The magnet chest clip is really cool, though the excitement of that wears off after a week or so. This seat is big--like a little throne. I feel like it sits high, but this is the only convertible car seat I've ever used. We put it in the middle of our back seat (Mazda CX-5) because that allowed us to have a little bit more room for the front seat to move back. One thing to note is that the pull strap to tighten the harness pulls very, very hard. I'm not sure if this is a pro or a con. On one hand I find it hard to give that little tug to make sure my son is fastened in perfectly, but on the other hand I would not want this strap to be loose (and "easy" to pull.) When our son was an infant, we used a Chicco KeyFit 30, so that's my only comparison car seat. I think that the directions for how to install and use that seat were better written. My husband and I were confused about some of the drawings and language in the Maxi-Cosi manual, but when we got down to executing the instructions step-by-step it all worked very well. The car seat is fine, excellent even, but the instructions made it seem more complicated than it is.

Plush high end fabrics for baby and a convenient cup holder for drinks or snacks. The best feature is by far the harness holders. Makes getting my little one in and out so much easier. The magnetic clip works great and is easy to use and feels very secure. I love the air protect. I really feel like my babies head is very well protected. The price is a bit high but is worth it for all the great features you are getting all in one seat. We will def be purchasing another one of these seats!

I received this awesome car seat for free to review! I love it ! It`s comfortable and cozy plus exceeds all safety requirements . The only timprovement I can think of is maybe adding another cup holder to the other side :)

I wish that we had bought this convertible car seat from the get-go. I didn't realize that it was starting at 5lbs. Now at 9 months he is almost 25 lbs, but it would have saved us a lot of money. The fabric actually comes out and can be washed which is a huge draw for me. The seat feels super soft and everything is easy to use and functional. I am glad that this will grow with our son up to 85 lbs. It's really big, but since it will stay in the car, that isn't an issue. The safety ratings are great and so far our son loves to sit in it because he is more mobile than he was in his infant seat.

I received this wonderful car seat as a free sample in exchange for agreeing to write this review.  I found the car seat easy to install. It lived up to its expectations as the easiest to clean. My daughter seems very comfortable and the seat just feels well made. I like the magnetic one hand chest clip, but also found it doesn`t always release as easily as I`d like and the straps easily tangles. I also find the harness difficult to tighten. And though we are nowhere near 85 lb, I can`t imagine an 85 lb child fitting in this seat. Overall, I would easily recommend the seat. But I think Maxi-Cosi could make a few easy updates to make it 5 stars.

The magnetic chest clip makes it SO easy to buckle my little one in! It is really easy to unbuckle as well! My mother-in-law has arthritis in her hands and she finds it easy to buckle and unbuckle! The fabric is so plush too!

I received this car seat as a free sample in exchange for agreeing to write an online review. I`m very impressed! Typically when shopping for a car seat I have a few main things I look for: #1 safety, #2 size and #3 durability and longevity. This seat by far passes all three of those for me and more. My favorite feature is the magnetic one-hand chest clip - makes it so much easier! Also, the seat is pretty narrow making it more comfortable for others in the back seat. The chest straps are a bit annoying to adjust the height (as they grow) but otherwise I was very happy with this car seat overall and would recommend it to a friend.
