The Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat has saved my sanity!!!! My daughter has HATED the car ever since birth. She would scream at the top of her lungs the entire car ride to the point that I didn't even want to leave the house. Every time we removed her from the infant car seat we had at the time she would be drenched in sweat. We knew it was time to change her into a much more comfortable seat and the Pria came to our rescue just in time! Comfort is so important when it comes to car seats because a happy baby means a peaceful and more relaxed car ride and of course happy parents! I can ensure you that this seat is one of the most comfortable seats I've seen on the market. Plush, soft and breathable fabric that helps baby to relax and fall asleep on long rides. The infant inserts are snug and make baby feel secure. Once we switched to the Pria my daughter actually fell asleep in the car which was such a huge milestone for us! My only complaint is the shoulder pads are big and bulky and the Velcro doesn't stick very well causing them to fall off easily. It would be ideal to have the shoulder pads sewn into the straps rather than stick on. The fabric is also easy to remove and machine washable which is an awesome feature for all the blow outs we have experienced! We used LATCH system to install and the instructions were very easy to follow. Even for a busy mom who doesn't really know how to install many things! The headrest and harness are easy to adjust for growing baby and it's so nice to know we can use this car seat for many years to come. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Infant Car Seat!!!

Thanks weeSpring Parent Panel for sending us the 3-in-1 Convertible car seat. The car seat aesthetically looks great and is super plush! Installing was rather simple. Our daughter enjoys the seat and seems very comfortable. When installing, the line helps to ensure how level the car seat is, however, having an actual level on the car seat would be more reassuring for safety purposes and the cross buckle design seems somewhat flimsy. All in all, good car seat, just a couple of minor tweaks

I received the Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat as a part of the weeSpring parent panel. I instantly fell in love with this seat from its luxurious look and feel to its many safety features this car seat is truly on that my child can go and grow with! The addition of the infant add on makes it easy to start my newborn off with. The added belt strap pads are easy on her shoulders and also add extra comfort to her face when rubbed against. There is an ease of putting her in and out of the seat, in which the side belt holders come in handy. The added safety features provide a peace of mind to me as a parent knowing that my little one will be safe throughout her full use of this 3-in-1 seat. I truly recommend this seat to any parents that are looking for a seat that their little ones can be on the go and grow with!

I was given this Infant Car Seat to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel and giving my review. I had been searching for a convertible carseat for my little one for awhile because he was quickly outgrowing his rear facing car seat, so I was ecstatic to be chosen. He is a tiny terror when it comes to riding in a car seat so I was optimistic that a larger seat would make him more comfortable. When I received the Pria 3-in-1 convertible car seat the first thing I noticed was the cushioning. I had read reviews on it and I was pleasantly surprised that they were extremely accurate. It is cushioned like a baby sofa or recliner. I also really liked the idea of the straps adjusting to his height without having to take them out. The car seat was very intuitive and easy to install. Most features I could figure out without the manual. He loved the padded strap covers and also that he now sits up higher and can look out of the windows easier. The height of the seat is fantastic for getting him out also so that I don't have to bend over far. The leg straps were a comfortable fit for his chunky thighs. The fabric is very soft and the color is neutral. I like the different shades of grey. It gives it an updated look. It is easy to spot clean the seat and even though I haven't taken the cover off to wash, it appears to be pretty easy. I am very excited to see this car seat grow with him since it goes to 100 pounds. He is hard to please for an eight month old but so far he has been a lot happier to ride in the car. I would highly recommend this car seat to anyone who is looking for comfort, convenience, safety features, and appearance in a convertible car seat.

I was so excited to receive this car seat from the weeSpring Parent Panel! When I first unboxed it, I was amazed by the material-with car seats, safety is the number one concern, so that Maxi Cosi has managed to make the Pria 3 in 1 look luxurious too is fairly impressive. The straps and pads are wide so that they lay flat on my 9 month old's shoulders and chest. She is a squirmy girl, so this feature kept her comfortable and not fighting the restraints. I clipped her in quickly and we were our way. I think my favorite part is the ability to wash the fabric. Especially since it grows with the babe, years of accidents and spills can take its toll-so being able to actually clean a car seat is a blessing. It definitely will take two hands to get it off and on though-so hand off your kiddo. One piece of advice: read the instructions BEFORE putting the car seat in the car. The set up isn't difficult as long as you read the instructions, but I was so excited to get it in the car that I threw it in and hoped for the best...then took it out, read the manual, and started again!

If you are looking for a convertible car seat that can be used from birth into toddler years I'd recommend the Pria 3-in-1 convertible car seat! I received this car seat from the weeSpring Parent Panel to try and my son is 10 months old so I didn't use it with a newborn. However, I believe with all the inserts it came with that a newborn could safely and comfortably ride in this seat, and I may use this seat starting at the beginning with our next baby. I love the color pattern on this car seat and I love that it seems to be comfortable to my son. It was very easy to adjust the headrest and the harness position to make sure my son was properly secured. I also liked how easy it was to adjust the recline level and that there aren't as many recline options as there are on some other seats so I didn't have to think too much about which level was right for my son. The only thing I didn't love about this seat was that it was really hard for me to get a good tight install with the seatbelt. I always install my sons car seat in the middle seat, and it is not an option to use the lower anchors in the middle seat of my car. It was difficult to get the seatbelt tight enough and ended up taking both my husband and I to install it. I wish that this seat had an internal way of locking off the seat belt to really get it secure. Overall though, I really like this seat! Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel for sending us this car seat to try!

I love Maxi Cosi car seats and the Pria 3-in1 is a real improvement over the Pria 70 that I used to use for my kids. I recently upgraded to the Maxi Cosi Magellan after hitting a deer and loved that seat too but it's noticeably heavier than the Pria 3-in-1. I love that the Pria 3-in-1 has dual cup holders which are removable and dishwasher safe. The square red button on the buckle is easier to press to open than the round ones on the Magellan or Pria 70. I like the strap holders that prevent the straps from twisting and also make it easier to put my toddler back in his seat. The harness & headrest are both super easy to adjust. My inner neat freak appreciates the slot in the back near the bottom where the manual can be easily stored. I also appreciate that you can easily remove and machine wash the entire car seat cover. The fabric is super cushy but not quite as nice as the Magellan - which is to be expected given the price difference. The Pria 3-in-1 is easy to install but it would be nice to have a bubble level rather than a solid line to compare to the ground - but a very minor point in my opinion. If you're on the fence about the Pria 3-in-1, buy it! You won't regret it. I'm a huge fan of Maxi Cosi car seats so I was stoked when the Wee Spring Parent Panel sent me the Pria 3-in-1 car seat in exchange for my honest review. My little guy loves it, too!

I used this for a 2.5 year old who screamed "stuck" in her previous common carseat every time we ever got in the car! After 2 weeks of use she still says how soft and comfy this seat feels! The seat came set up for rear facing and it was so simple to switch to forward facing. It installed super easy and quick and was pretty much self explanatory. The buckles were easy to adjust along with the head rest. My favorite part of the car seat are the cup holders. In her other car seat she would take them off the second I put them on and these twist in easily but she doesn't seem to have figured it out yet. They also can be popped in the dishwasher which is great because there is always mystery liquid in the bottom of mine at least! My daughter seems to really like the car seat! I did take off the fabric to wash before we used and it was pretty easy. I looked at the directions just to be sure but it was easy enough I don't think I will have to look again! The fabric is very plush and soft to the tough but also wipes crumbs easily. Overall I like this seat and it feels very substantial and safe. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Infant Car Seat.

I received the Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat from the weeSpring parent panel, and I was so excited to try it out! We had been using another brand, but I have always liked the look of the Maxi Cosi brand, so I'm really glad I had the opportunity to try this one! First off, the car seat looks great! I love the look and feel of the fabric - it's much nicer than other brands I've seen or used in the past. The light gray fabric is very soft and cozy feeling, which is nice. I also like that the size of the seat seems to be more roomy and comfortable for my daughter (18 mos) so I know it's comfortable now but still has room for her to grow. I also really like that the seat has built in cup holders which are perfect for drinks and snacks or for her to store toys to play with. I also really like the shoulder strap holders, which seem to be very comfortable for her and are easy to adjust. I think my favorite feature of this car seat is that it will grow with her over the next few years and she will be able to use it forward facing with a seat belt, which is great since we would have had to buy another seat once she grew out of the car seat she was using. I think it's so helpful to only have to buy one seat that will grow with the baby since we all know car seats can be pricey! The reason I gave this seat four stars is because it was a little more difficult to install than I had anticipated. It took a little bit of time to get this seat as tightly installed as we like, maybe because we are not used to a one strap system, but we were able to get it installed correctly and have had no issues since! The only other thing that I would like to see is a steel frame instead of a plastic one, but other than that the car seat looks great and feels like a safe and comfortable seat for my daughter. I would definitely recommend this product! We have been very happy with it!

I used the rear-facing mode for my 18 month old (23lbs and 31in). I appreciated that it came in the box fully assembled. This is our first Maxi-Cosi product and I am impressed with the quality and the added features. Overall, I will definitely be considering the Maxi Cosi brand for future baby purchases! Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product. Pros: - The angles of the seat and leg rest allow for more leg room than our other seat which is helpful to keep our son rear-facing for longer. I can say it definitely LOOKS like he is more comfortable, with more room (width and length) than our other name brand 4-in-1 car seat. Padding is definitely thicker than other brands too. -The harness holders aren't necessary, but totally awesome. Esp. when you have a wriggling toddler, it keeps the straps from getting twisted or stuck- making in and out easier on mom. -The silver color might be harder to keep clean but the seat cover is machine washable! -Adjustable headrest and one-click LATCH system make install and set up easy, (although most major brands include these features). Easy to switch to forward-facing. -I think the padding on the bottom buckle is more comfortable than having just the plastic buckle between his legs. -Harness chest clip is very easy to operate, requiring just a push of one clasp with the thumb. -Cupholders are removable to be cleaned and they don't stick out further than the sides of the seat so it saves on space. Also, the cupholders are within reach for our toddler. Cons: -The circumference of the cupholders could be larger to accommodate bigger sippy cups or water bottles. -The harness covers at the shoulders need to be slightly smaller and/or have stronger (or bigger) Velcro strips. They are too easy to remove and my son continues to take them off after I reattach them. The downside to not having the harness covers on is that the edge of the harness strap digs into his neck and collarbone and is not comfortable.

We recently trialed the Pria 3 in 1 car seat for my 14 month old. The fabric is super soft and has a good amount of cushion, which was excellent and my LO really liked. It was easy to install using the latch system, which also makes me feel like we are keeping her super safe. The shoulder pads are a bit long, but could easily be removed. I do like how easy it is to change the amount the seat reclines. We did use it to travel and it was loathe to have to move around and fit in the bag provided by the airline, but not too heavy. Overall I think this is a great option for your growing babe! Comfortable, safe and easily grows with your LO. I did receive this product through the weeSprinf parent panel.

I was given this product to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. Overall, I liked the car seat! I tried this with my second baby, so I have experience using both bucket seats with infants and convertible car seats with toddlers/preschoolers. Compared to what I've used before, this car seat has some great advantages. It's very modern looking (blends in great with my car interior, which I appreciate!), and the fabric is soft and easy to clean. Car seats get GROSS as kids get older, so it's a plus that the cover of the Pria is easier to remove and launder. My favorite feature is a small one- this seat has "harness holders" which hold back the harness/clips when you are putting your kiddo in the seat. This is made getting a squirming newborn into the seat much easier, and it's a real perk on hot days, when the harness clip heats up and I'm trying to get the kiddo in the car safely and comfortably. Also, this seat has cup holders (that you can remove and wash!) which I know, from experience, are vital for when the babe gets older. Other positives: the instruction book is very easy to read, and installation was simple (I used the LATCH system). The seat is easy to adjust, and I felt confident in the fit for my baby. I also love that the seat grows with my child. Kids are expensive, so it's nice that the product has a long life to it. One downside- as with any convertible seat with a newborn, the car seat is designed to stay in the car, so transferring a sleeping baby is a bit trickier than if she was in a bucket style seat. I usually baby wear when out and about though, so we adjusted and got used to popping the baby in a carrier as opposed to toting her in a car seat. It works for our family!

Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product to try out for our little one. This is a beautiful car seat and we were super excited to receive it. We love the look of it, the colors and fabrics are wonderful and very neutral (and a plus that everything can easy come out to wash). Having the two cup holders is awesome and will be put to great use down the line as our little one continues to grow into the seat. Some of my favorite features are the easy magnetic chest clip and the ability to flip the buckles away for easy transition in and out of the seat, the wonderful safety features around the headrest, and the ability for your child to use the seat for so long (they can fit in it for an extended period of time as the headrest can raise and you can adjust the padding on the seat to fit a larger child). Our only difficulty was the installation process as the instructions were a bit confusing (even for someone who had installed many car seats before), we came to the conclusion that it just wouldn't fit in one of our vehicles (safely and according to the safety requirements of the directions) and had to use it for the other car. But it is an awesome seat and worked well for our one month old. We are excited to have her using this for years to come!

I received this product free from the weespeing parent panel. Max cosi has always been a luxury brand and was super pumped to be able to test this. The box it came in was damaged but the product was still intact upon arriving to me. My husband set it up and reported that the directions were very confusing for a rear facing infant. We were able to figure it out. My son is 10 months and fits in the seat without the padding inserts. Those options are great for very little ones. The fabric is so soft and breathable. We live in AZ and my son would swear in the infant seat! We've gone out in triple digit heat and he's stayed dry! The buckles secured him nice and snug and I feel so great he's in safe product. I can't wait to continue to use this as he grows and explore all the new options!

The Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat is nothing short of amazing! This is the ONLY car seat my 7-month-old will happily and willingly get into. He is positioned in a reclined rear facing position. The Pria 3-in-1 was very easy to install, and the instruction manual was easy to understand with picture diagrams. My favorite features of the car seat are the removable cup holders. They are also may I add dishwasher safe. In the past, the cup holders have been the hardest parts of the seat to clean thoroughly as they typically do not detach from the seat itself. The car seat is very durable and sturdy and I appreciated it staying in place. The headrest and harness was easy to adjust. One added bonus is the metals and materials the seat is made out of. They aren't blazing hot when I go to place my baby into his seat in the summer heat. The entire car seat is plush and protective with a lot of cushion all around. The seat also appears to sit up higher than other car seats. The shoulder straps include removable pads that are wonderful. They gave my son an extra layer of comfort. I found the fabric to be constructed of a nice quality and appealing. I am happy it is removable and I haven't washed it yet to see how it holds up. The seat reclines into 3 different positions which worked well for us. When my son used to fall asleep in his infant carrier, his head rotated forward. Now with the recline, his head no longer rotates forward and he sleeps comfortably without placing strain on his neck. The harness holders are a genius invention! You no longer have to fish around for straps after placing your child in their car seat. You just unlatch them and strap your child in as usual. If there was anything to complain about, it would be the size of the seat. I have a Honda CRV and it takes up almost half the seat space in the back. I highly recommend the Pria 3-in-1. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Infant Car Seat.

This car seat was amazing I absolutely loved it! I got the opportunity to try out the car seat thanks to weespring Parent Panel. I was pleasantly surprised on how well made the car seat was. It was super easy to tailor to my kids. It was easy to use. My older child hates car seats in general, but with the Pria 3 in 1 it was great. The car seat is very secure and comfortable. If it's your first convertible car seat it might look overwhelming at first, but if you take about 5 - 10 minutes to figure out how to move everything to fit your child it's a piece of cake. If you already know how to handle a convertible car seat it's going to be very easy to move things around. It had high quality and comfortable fabric, steel rods to connect the base and car seat. The clips were easy to get in and out of the car. It's a great product!

We received the Pria 3-in-1 car seat as part of the weeSpring parent panel & we were so excited when it finally arrived. With two babies under two, we've tried our fair share of convertible car seats and were thrilled when this one showed up on our doorstep. From the first moment we took it out of the box, we were in love. The lovely gray fabric was perfect & neutral and you could tell immediately that it was a high quality material. There are two cup holders within an arm's reach of my almost two year old. Because he's a toddler, we had to remove much of the extra padding and inserts that are made for newborn use. The best part about this car seat was how easy it was to install! I was able to do it by myself, clicked the latch locks into the seat in my van and that was it! I was able to tighten it fairly easily and didn't have to put all my body weight on it like I've had to do with other seats or take off the cover to get to thr belt path. My son was comfortable in it and seemed to love it from his first ride. We highly recommend the Pria 3-in-1 convertible car seat for anyone looking for a high quality, durable & neutral colored car seat from a reputable company. You won't be disappointed!

What a lightweight, easy, and sleek looking car seat! I was given this product to try out as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel and when it arrived, it was SO easy to get out and set up. It basically came completely ready to go right in the car and at first glance, it is seriously so good looking. I love the feel of the fabric-very soft, but also sturdy, so you know it can be cleaned multiple times and hold it's quality. I immediately noticed the varying inserts that you can use for smaller infants, and although our little one is not so little anymore, I look forward to trying this out on his younger brother/sister! It was relatively easy to attach to the car via the LATCH or seatbelt system. We used the LATCH system and needed to make sure that we adjusted the angle of the seat before we attached, because it's very difficult to adjust the recline once installed. My favorite feature BY FAR is these little wonderful strap holders so when putting the child into the seat, you don't have to struggle with getting the straps from underneath them once sitting. This seriously is a lifesaver. Overall, between the look, feel of fabric, ease of use, and safety features, I really really wanted to give this seat 5 stars. However, the one thing that tripped me up was the fact that once installed, the seat seems to easily pull up from the back of the unit (when installed rear facing) EVEN with extra support stuck under the front end (pool noodle, rolled up towel, etc...). We tried tightening it every which way and backwards to the sun and after an hour of cussing and seating, we gave up. We tried installing it with the seat belt feature, and that didn't seem to do much better. Overall, I realize this could be due to 1) car type, and 2) installer incompetence :) so we will try again with different cars and different installers and see what happens! I would imagine that this seat would work wonderful for parents who don't need to move it and have better vehicles.

Thank you to the WeeSpring Parent Panel we graciously received this amazing 3 in 1 car seat for free. At first I believed this seat would be bulky and heavy just like every seat I feel like we have used for our 3 kids! Let me just tell you this thing is SURPRISINGLY light weight and sleek. The ease of installment was also a huge game changer we can easily pop this in and out of different cars workout fuss. Next the soft fabric (which also has a marshmallow squish to it !!!) can be removed in a breeze and washed ( which after the first 5 minutes in the seat we had to do and fabric looks just like new still ). The actual buckle and straps are amazing and by this I mean the buckle stays upright when placing your child in the seat so you more sticking my hand under my kids butt to fish for a buckle while the pull my hair and laugh !!! And the straps can so so so easily be placed on the sides of the seat in the allotted slots so they also stay out of the way making in and out of the car with a 2 year old 4 year old and 6 month old a breeze now. Lastly this seat really has been a game change for us I am very excited to use this for all 3 and purchase another because we do currently has fights over who seats in the "marshmallow" ! I can't express enough how nice this seat feels and how I feel safe with the installment and the way my child looks and fits in the seat !

We were given this Maxi Cosi Pria 3-in-1 convertible car seat to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel and it's our new favorite car seat! With our baby being almost a year old we have been contemplating getting another car seat, and we'd look no further than the Maxi Cosi Pria. This car seat is rated from birth to 85 pounds and it is perfect when considering an all in one car seat. Pros: Overall the car seat is very plush and looks extremely comfortable. The fabric is a gorgeous color. It is very easy to tighten the straps while bucking child in the backseat -way easier than our infant car seat. One of my favorite features of this car seat is that it reclines in 3 positions to grow with your child. This is especially helpful when they're little so their head doesn't slump down. Installation took just a few minutes longer than expected but we wanted to make sure we did it 100% correct. The directions were very clear, easy to understand and follow. The Pria comes with a lot of options for easy cleaning. The cover is machine washable and the cup holders are removable. This is going to be a huge advantage in the future. Cons: It could just be because I am a "first time mama" but I couldn't figure out the inserts. I wasn't sure when babies stopped using the additional head and back support. 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸ She looks too big for it, but when I take them out she looks too small. The directions didn't really help guide me. We wound up leaving them in to be safe. Thank you so much to weeSpring parent panel and maxicosi for selecting us to try and review this car seat we look forward to using it for many years to come!

I am a research geek, so when I was given the opportunity to try out a new car seat, I jumped at the chance! One of the first things I noticed was that this was rated for 4-100 lbs. I was excited to see how a seat like this handled the different age ranges, as I had the opportunity to test this with my 2.5-year-old son (35 lbs) and also a friend's 7-year-old (55 lbs). Installation: I used the seat front-facing. Overall, I found the installation pretty straight forward. I used the rear tether and the seat belt through the loop. I did play with the latches just to see how they looked and function. One gripe was that it was a little difficult to get the latches to unclip on the underside of where they were stored. Harness Holders: Loved this feature! I don't know how many times I've had a situation where the harness was inside the car seat when I was trying to get my son into it. This really helps keep the harness out of the way for ease of getting my son in and out of the seat. Adjustable Headrest: This was a godsend when I was switching out my son for my friend's older child. I don't know how many times I've had to re-thread harness holes every time my son got taller. This really makes it a cinch to adjust between children if you have multiple kids. Seat: The leg area of the seat is angled up which helped position my son's legs a little further away from the front seat. I also liked the shallow sides which allowed it to be easier for my son to child into by himself. Cupholders: Ok, this is where I was a bit disappointed. Although there were 2 built-in cup holders, they were too small to fit any of the cups my son used. They ended up being relegated to snack food holders. Overall, I found this seat packed a lot of features, and really allows you the chance to only buy one car seat that will grow with your child. Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this car seat to try and test. I'm really looking forward to continuing using it!

I received the seat from the weespring parent panel in exchange for my review! For starters my absolute favorite feature is the weight. The seat is extremely light compared to many other seats I have used over time with three children. It was easy to buckle the latch system in to the seat, but tightening the seat in to place was very hard. The straps and harness were simple to adjust and the headrest moves with just the push of a button! Overall I love the seat, just wish the latch belt tightened easier and there was a level for visually seeing that the seat is correctly installed!

I was thrilled to receive this car seat for free courtesy of the weeSpring parent panel in exchange for my honest review. When it showed up at my door I immediately started digging into the box and the first thing I noticed was how light it was compared to our existing convertible car seat. I think a lot of people would enjoy this fact although admittedly for us once we had the seat installed it pretty much stayed there permanently unlike an infant seat that you're taking in and out constantly. Adjusting and tightening the straps was very easy, as was the headrest. They pulled smoothly and the cushioned shoulder straps were nice but they tended to get folded over onto themselves so we'd have to adjust them to sit right. Comfort is definitely the name of the game with this car seat. The fabric is extremely plush and soft and it includes 2 removable cupholders for snacks and/or drinks during your journey, and the fabric is removable and machine washable as well. My only complaint here is that the cupholders were just a little too small to hold our water bottle and snack cup and although we could put the snacks directly into the cupholder it was hard for them to reach once they were tightened down. There are only 3 levels of recline with this one and in rear-facing mode you're limited to just 2. The biggest area we struggled with was installation. I read over the instructions multiple times but still had a hard time getting the seat to feel secure in the car. We first tried using the LATCH system and even after pulling on the tightening strap as hard as I could it still felt like it moved around too much. With the seat belt you are required to fish the seat belt through a channel in the car seat. The small opening combined with constantly fighting the pull back on the seat belt required some patience and a few tries to get it through. This method felt more secure than the LATCH connector.

As a parent of twins toddlers (2.5 year old), I am always looking for convertible car seats that are easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to install! The Maxi Cosi Pria 3-in-1 checks most of those boxes! Initially when I pulled the car seat out of the box, I loved the feel of the plush fabric and all of the inserts that make the seat fit any newborn. I went to put it in my car, and immediately went to raise the headrest/harness (which was very easy to do!) before installing the seat. The install is relatively easy, but it did take me a while to get a tight fit with less than 1 inch of movement from the belt path. However, once it was installed, it stayed installed correctly for quite some time -- not always the case with other seats. Since I received this seat as part of the weeSpring parent panel, one of my boys was excited to test his "new car seat." He climbed in and immediately loved the easy-to-access cup holders (not always common on other seats!). It was easy to put him in and take him out, though tightening the harness was sometimes a challenge and I did have to pull over and over again to make sure the straps passed the pinch test. I did not have time to wash the seat, but I did attempt to take the cover on and off, which was SUPER simple! Plus, I love that this seat will transform to a booster down the road, making it truly the only car seat you could ever need! Overall, I thought this was an excellent seat choice for people who want to use one seat for a LONG time!

Pria has some positive aspects like being super lightweight. The material on the seat is plush and welcoming. The seat comes with a buckle cover, strap covers, infant insert pillow, and head support. The no re-thread harness is a great feature and it moved easily when I adjusted it the first time. There are two strap holders on either side of the seat. This allows you to easily adjust the straps while putting your little one into the seat. I had a hard time getting the seat to fit securely in my Lexus RX350. Neither the latch system nor the seat belt system secured the seat in my car. I wound up taking it to the car seat inspector at my local police precinct to double check me. After wrestling with the seat, the officer agreed with me, the seat was moving around too much to be safe for my son. Also, he couldn't get the latch system to tighten down properly since it wasn't attached to the seat itself, but merely looped through the belt pathway on the bottom of the seat. It was a disappointment that the Pria didn't use a button on the bottom of the seat to recline, it also lacks a level indicator built into the seat itself. Those simple indicators would save moms a lot of time and offer some reassurance that the seat is properly installed. To recline the seat, you have to pull a lever in the front and check the level of recline by using stickers located on the base. The stickers indicate whether you're in forward facing or rear facing levels. If you are using the full recline mode (Level 3), there is a red sticker at the top of the seat that has to be even with the floor, that's how you know the seat is installed correctly. For the price point, I think they should have the recline functions & indicators built into the base, please don't use stickers. Most importantly, Level 3 is not enough recline for an infant. If your child can't hold up their head, like my son, you can't use this seat. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this car seat to try!

Maxi Cosi is a brand that I have heard over and over again and I finally understand why it's so popular! I was given this product to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel and I cannot contain my excitement. The seat cover is extremely comfortable and almost has a memory foam feeling to it making my daughter less likely to get fussy on longer car rides. There are strap holders which means no more untucking it from under my daughter and it's incredibly easy to loosen and tighten. It's also really easy to remove and machine-washable (I just have to unsnap it), which is an absolute necessity for when my daughter gets older. It also has removable cupholders that are dishwasher-safe making it really easy to clean the whole car seat. The car seat is also VERY easy to install. The latch system attaches to my car's anchor points and is easily adjustable ensuring my daughter's safety and caters to my parental nuisances. Its button is really easy to press making installation that much easier. I used to dread installing my daughter's infant car seat because the alligator clips were really stiff and difficult to latch onto the anchor points. It's really difficult to choose a favorite feature because I can honestly say anything I mentioned before is one, but the one that tops the list is the fact that it's convertible and will last until my daughter is until she's 100 lbs, which is a HUGE cost-saver! Now when it comes to its areas of improvement, adjusting the headrest and inclination requires two hands as it sometimes gets stuck in the fabric. Overall, it's a great convertible car seat!

I was given this car seat to try as part of the weeSpring parent panel and I am so glad I was selected! As a mom of 3 with kids ages 7, 4, and 1, I have been through a few convertible car seats and I have never even considered the Maxi Cosi brand, but I love this seat! All of my children are still riding in some sort of safety seat and I prefer to ride with them 3 across so I can maximize my cargo space. This car seat has a surprisingly slim profile while still providing extra protection for the kiddos along the sides of the car seat. I used the seat with my 1 year old and my 4 year old. It was incredibly easy to adjust the harness and headrest between the two and install both rear and forward facing. Moving the belt buckle was also much easier than other seats I have used in the past. The harness holders are awesome! It's such a small thing, but makes such a big difference having them there. The harness holders made it easier to put the 1 year old in rear facing without having to dig underneath him for the straps and also made it quicker for my forward facing child to do her own seat belt. My 4 year old really liked the fabric. She was really disappointed when I gave the seat back to her baby brother as she felt it was pretty luxurious. I did not wash the cover but I did take it off to see if it was easy to remove and put back on without instructions and I had no issues getting it on or off. I really appreciate having a cover that is machine washable and dryer safe. Children can be very messy and it's no fun having to hand wash a car seat cover and wait for it to drip dry. I did not try the seat in booster mode yet, but it makes me very happy to know I won't have to buy another seat for my youngest.

I have 13 month old twins and we recently moved them out of their Maxi Cosi infant car seats into the Pria 3-in-1. The seat is beautiful and provides them a lot of cushion and comfort. I love that the seat will grow with them and we won't need to purchase another. This is really important to me due to cost with two babies and also environmental impact. The fabric is really soft and padded and my babies seem very comfortable in the Pris 3-in-1. My favorite feature might be the strap holders! This is so helpful and inventive- every seat should have them! They make it so much easier to get my babies in and out! The seat was easy to install and is pretty typical for most convertible car seats. The headrest and seat positioning were simple to adjust to size and can be easily adjusted again for growth. Maxi-cosi car seats come with fabric covers that are easy to remove. We haven't washed these covers yet, but being familiar with the brand the fabric seems really durable and I'm confident it will hold up well. The shoulder strap cover pads were a little too large for my babies but are easily removal and can be used later on. We are going on a road trip soon and the two cup holders will be so convenient- even just for toys! The seat is quite large which has both pros and cons. It is heavy which makes it seem extremely safe and durable. However, it does take up quite a bit of room if you have a small vehicle. This is sometimes a challenge for us with two rear facing children, but it is such a great car seat overall. I was given this product to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Infant Car Seat. This is a well-designed, attractive car seat. While it is wider and a bit bulkier than competitors, it actually felt lighter. The fabric is very soft, the harness is easy to adjust and snap, and the strap covers are easy to take on and off. The fabric is easy to remove and clean. I did have to install it in the middle seat of my SUV (X5), as it would not fit behind my passenger seat. Two people could still fit in each seat next to the car seat, though. All in all, a luxurious, easy-to-use car seat that looks good as well.

I knew it was time... but I had been dreading changing our little one's carseat from her infant seat to a convertible seat, because 1) it's a more "permanent" fixture in your car and 2) it meant she WAS getting bigger. :-( I was excited to get to try the Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat, as it forced us to move forward with this change. When I first received the carseat, I was really impressed. At first glance, the material is very nice and you can tell it has great support. I liked that the seat had 2 removable cup holders and looked very sturdy. When we tried out the seat, our daughter had just gotten over being sick (or so we thought), but 10 minutes later, she got sick all over herself, my clean car and the BRAND NEW Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat (UGH!!). Nonetheless, this gave us the opportunity to see what the cleaning process would be like. 1st - my husband took the carseat apart and said it was NOT an easy process. The straps were the hardest part. My husband is a very handy guy and works as a technician. The fact that he had difficulty dismantling the seat is a statement in itself. 2nd - I got to do the pre-wash/hand-washing portion. This was also a pain. Due to the cushion of the fabric being SO absorbent, it was hard to pre-treat and try to scrub the vomit (EWW!) out of the material. Once done, I let the fabric sit in a tub to drain the water that wouldn't squeeze out before I put it in the washing machine. In the end, I was able to get the stains out. 3rd - reassembling was also difficult. It does not look like it's brand new by the fit of the seat the 2nd time around and the wrinkles from the laundering process. Don't get me wrong, it's still a VERY nice carseat and no one else could probably ever tell. Therefore, I'd rate the seat 4 stars due to the value, safety, security and comfiness it provides to our little girl! Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending us the Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat to try and review!

I am Mom of two - a 5 year old toddler and a 2-month old baby. I was very excited to try the Pria 3-in-1 convertible car seat from Maxi Cosi. It is certainly an advantage that you don't have to move car seats from one car to the other depending on your situation or who is going to be with me that day. Having just 1 car seat in the car also gives you extra space if you need to haul groceries or more extra seats if you are carpooling with adults to go have lunch or dinner. I will be honest that I had a hard time installing the car seat the first time. I am not one who religiously reads the booklet for instructions so I thought I'd give it a go and follow my instincts and experience from previous car seats I've used. But that has been an issue and made me very frustrated. So being a visual learner, I looked up a Youtube video on how to install Maxi Cosi car seat. Ten minutes later, I was able to install the car seat with no sweat or swollen fingers and hands. It was very easy to install and switch from infant rear-facing mode to toddler front-facing mode. Just take your time and read the instructions and learn the features or watch the instructional video. The car seat is really worth the effort. The first time I opened it, I loved the feel and look. The padding and the fabric feels like a luxury product for sure and looks very comfortable. It is soft and has a lot of cushion, even I, want to sit on it. The headrest is easy to adjust, I love the clips for the harness and the removable cups. I love everything about the car seat and this is a good choice if you are looking for something that can grow with your kid or work for both infant and toddler. The only functionality I can't get here is being able to carry my baby and transfer to stroller, the way I can when I am using an infant car seat. It can also look bulky because of the padding all around and bigger than an infant car seat. This product is sent to me as part of weeSpring parent panel for my honest review.

Installing car seats properly is one of the most annoying / stressful parts of being a parent. Not only can they be difficult to install, but I'm often left wondering if I installed it properly. I realize that you can take your car to the local fire department for inspection, but I didn't find that tactic to be all that helpful the last time I tried. So when I assessed the Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat I was looking for two main things: 1) Is it easy to install? 2) Is it easy to know if I've installed it properly? I would give it 5 stars for being easy to install. I used it rear facing as my baby is only 11 months old. I would give it 3 stars as I had to second guess if I installed it properly - did I pull the latch strap tight enough? I have used a Nuna and Chicco car seat for my older child, both of which have indicators that clearly show if the car seat is installed properly. It is very easy to adjust the harness and the headrest - this is a great feature as no parent has the time to re-thread straps of a bulky, heavy car seat every time their child grows which seems to happen in a blink of an eye. I like the idea of a washable fabric - in the case of this specific seat, I did not have the need to take off the cover and wash it. At first glance, it looks easy enough to do so. I also liked that the cup holders are removable and dishwasher safe as those get gross over time. Lastly, the quick set up / installation guides that Maxi Cosi provided are super and easy to understand so you don't really need to read the whole instruction book. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Infant Car Seat.

Car seats are like airline seats in that the cheaper seat will work but it may be worth upgrading to a better seat. The Maxi Cosi Pria 3-in-1 is worth the upgrade. This car seat has a luxurious feel to it. It kind of reminds me of a memory foam bed. There are so many other reasons to love this car seat too. Machine washable cover: because who wants to spot clean them? Thankfully, I haven't removed the cover yet to wash but it is easy to wipe clean and sweep. There is no break in the fabric at the back of the seat so food doesn't get stuck which makes it easy to vacuum. One step adjustable harness/headrest: the fact that I only have to click a button and pull up to adjust the harness straps and headrest makes life so easy. I remember dreading when our oldest got bigger because we had to re-thread the harness straps. No fun. Strap holders: I have wanted these for so long. Gone are the days of my kids sitting on straps and me having to dig around to get them situated. Plus, they don't hurt themselves on the hot metal parts. Win-Win. Built-in removable cup holders: because cleaning them without removing them is really hard. We are a family of 5 so we are three car seats deep in the back of my SUV. I mention that because this car seat is not the smallest on the market BUT I was able to make it fit with my other two. So no sacrificing comfort for my littlest passenger. This also means that I (by I, I mean my husband) couldn't use the latch system to install BUT it was still pretty easy to install. I think it took him 10 mins or so. Overall I would recommend this car seat to new parents. I love that I can use it for a long time. No one wants to buy multiple different car seats. Plus, you get an upgraded seat (feel/comfort/amenities) for a price that is very comparable to similar products. Huge thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Infant Car Seat to review. I am forever grateful.

This is a really great car seat! Very easy to install, with some great features. A few favorites are the ease of removing fabric for washing, being able to adjust the strap height so easily without uninstalling, and REMOVABLE DISHWASHER SAFE CUP HOLDERS! These should be standard in all car seats! :) Also has strap holders but I always find these sound great in theory but that I never end up actually using them. The only downside I see is that I wish it was a 4-in-1 instead of a 3-in-1 so that it could also transition to a backless booster. *Note: I was given this Infant Car Seat to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Getting into the car has been a pain with my little one since day one. She cries and fights every single time I put her in and buckle her. We had tried a couple different brands and finally figured we would just have to endure until she was old enough to not need a car seat anymore. That was until the Maxi Cosi Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat entered our lives. She loved it right away! She has never cried getting into it, which that alone makes it worth it for me. I could tell that she was immediately comfortable in the seat. The padding felt memory foam like to me and the fabric was soft and smooth to the tough. It came in a grey color that was gender neutral that perfectly fit my style. Buckling her was also a dream. It was super easy to adjust. It took all of 30 seconds to adjust it to my daughter's height and pull the straps to the correct tightness. I love that it comes with a buckle cover. This will keep her from getting burned in the summer and prevent rubbing and chaffing of her thighs. I only wish it could be secured down because it tends to move around a lot and came up multiple times. It is easy to put back into place though. There are also strap holders to hold the straps off to the side to make getting in and out of the seat easier. My daughter needs the straps too tight so they don't reach the holders yet but I look forward to when I can use them to make the transitions more convenient. It was difficult to install in our truck. Its was wide enough that it covered both metal anchors and that made it challenging to reach and make tight. My husband worked at it and was able to do so but I wouldn't have been able to do so alone. I found the price point to be comparable with others in its class and perfect for its excellent quality. Overall, I love this car seat for its comfort, ease of use, look, and added features. It truly makes car rides much more enjoyable. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this car seat to try and review.

I was sent this Infant Car Seat from the weeSpring Parent Panel to review. As soon as I saw it, I thought to myself, "So that's what love at first sight feels like." It's beautiful, practical and well thought out. For instance, the fabric is moisture-wicking, machine washable, and soft. For a baby who spits up, this is a BIG bonus. My baby used to hate her car seat but now coos at me whenever I put her in the Pria. She's even still smiling (or sleeping) when I pull to tighten the straps (thanks to the shape and padding of the shoulder cushions). The fit customizations are easy-to-use, intuitive and (this is crucial) adjustable using only one hand. The headrest is raised with the push of a button, the seat reclines with the push of another, and the straps are tightened with a single firm pull. I can put my water bottle, phone and keys in the cup holders (there are TWO) while I get my baby situated. And, I did a little research and loved that Maxi Cosi far surpasses all safety regulations going above and beyond to maximize your baby's comfort... which is music to this moms ears. I did have a couple car compatibility issues but none that were without solution. With bucket-style rear seats, the built in angle adjustments aren't quite enough to get that level line parallel to the ground. The company recommends a pool noodle be placed under the car seat-which adds about 2" to the width of the base- covering the rear seat belts. While the middle would have been my first choice, without tether clips in that seat, it wasn't possible. I feel safe with her on the side, but this decreases leg room up front, and doesn't fit behind the drivers seat when my husband drives. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend the Pria. Even with my challenges, it's been a joy to use. It's beautiful, easy to wipe clean, and easy enough to machine wash. Most of all, my baby is safe and happy in this car seat. It makes running errands fun instead of a chore - how many car seats can you say that about?

Thanks to the weeSpring Parent panel my husband and I were able to experience the Pria 3 in 1 convertible car seat by maxi-cost. I am a parent that is all about convenience, I am a former athlete who has had 8 orthopedic surgeries. I spent most of my pregnancy panicking about how I was going to move a car seat with a baby in it. When the Pria 3 in 1 arrived I was a bit nervous because of the size of the box but first I read that my baby girl could grow up to 100 lbs in it and then I picked it up and realized that it was surprisingly light. It was an extremely easy install which made me happy because my husband was not home to help me. IT IS MOM FRIENDLY! The next thing I loved was that it was black, I am not a huge fan of bright colors since all of her toys are so bright and it looks great in my car. My daughter is comfortable in it and it has cupholders for when she grows. Washing the fabric was so simple, my daughter has had reflux and so we have spit ups, they wash right out and it is easy to put back in my car. Overall I am a happy mom, the Pria 3 in 1 is light, sleek, comfortable for my daughter and can grow with her so I do not have to spend more money on another car seat! Thank you weeSpring for leading me to Maxi-Cosi!

This is my third baby so this is my third convertible car seat. The Maxi Cosi Pria 3-in-1 convertible car seat is by far my favorite. It has all the features that I loved about my other car seats combined into one. I originally started my newborn out in an infant car seat but he looked so uncomfortable I decided to try him in the Pria. I love the soft, luxurious fabric on the Pria. The extra cushioning not only makes him look much more comfortable but also looks so much safer if there were to be an accident. The Pria also has a infant positioning pillow for small newborns to sit on to get a better and safer seating position. This really helped my small baby sit better in such a big seat. The headrest is great for keeping his head positioned properly so that it doesn't fall into an air-way constricting position. I haven't tried taking off the car seat cover yet but it looks fairly simple which is necessary when blowouts and throw up happens (trust me, they will happen). One thing I think is a must is the seat belt covers that keep the belts from digging into baby's neck. The seat belts are very easy to adjust as baby grows with just a pull on the headrest. I absolutely love that the Pria has the easy LATCH system. The easy LATCH system makes it so simple to move this car seat from one car to another with just the click of a button. Installation was a breeze with just a click and a tighten. Another great feature is the removable and dishwasher safe cup holders. Those things are always getting dirty once baby becomes a toddler. The only negative to me was the seat belt covers are a little large and a bit too easy to come off. This can make buckling in a newborn difficult. Ultimately though the Maxi Cosi Pria 3-in-1 is a great car seat that I would definitely recommend to everybody. It has all the best safety, comfort and design features I wanted and more. Thank you to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Maxi Cosi Pria 3-in-1 convertible car seat.

I received the Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat as a part of the WeeSpring Parent Panel. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall look of the seat and ease with which it installed. I immediately removed the infant insert as my child is 10 months, and I felt comfortable with the fit and felt as though she were cradled nicely in the contouring of the seat's design. It's both sleek and stylish. I would have liked a slightly softer fabric, however, the feel and texture of the material isn't bad. The shoulder straps are nice and the holders keep the straps at bay. It was easy to adjust the height of the clip buckle and felt like she was securely fastened. I'd definitely recommend this seat to anyone looking to purchase a convertible seat!

With three children (ages 6, 4 and 2) we have used a number of various car seats over the years. I have to say that the maxi cosi pria 3-in-1 is definitely the nicest we have had! My just-turned 4 year old loves it. I wish I had had it when one of kids was still in backwards facing infant mode just to get the most longevity out of it but glad we have it for the next few years as we go from harness to booster mode anyway! The fabric feels great, it doesn't get hot to the touch and my daughter hasn't been sweating as much in the hot Georgia summer when getting into the seat. The cushioning is very plush which makes for a comfortable ride but the dual removable dishwasher safe cup holders are hands down my favorite feature! I don't know how kids do it but the cup holders always end up with sticky grime and are so difficult to clean! It IS a slightly larger frame than some other brands and it sits relatively higher in comparison to a couple of my other car seats so that my daughter has to climb up to get into it quite a bit but it doesn't affect her comfort. It just doesn't leave as much room between her legs and the back of the driver's seat in my SUV. I know there are a host of specific safety features but I think if you are in this price range you are expecting most of that. I didn't have any issues installing (I'm 5'2" and the seat is not too heavy or bulky for me to lift) or adjusting the straps or height for my daughter. It's all straight forward and comparable to most car seats I would say. In general the fabric, cushioning and aesthetic is what is the bang for the buck on the maxi cosi pria. My daughter absolutely loves her new car seat! Thank you weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me this car seat - my daughter thanks you too!

The new Pria 3-in-1 is a fantastic seat - I have no complaints. One of the best features is that it grows with your child from newborn all the way to 100 pounds. My almost 4 yr old toddler was very comfortable in it through a couple long road trips. The seat comes with a couple of inserts for babies and rear facing children, so I am confident if I used it for my 2 yr old toddler, she would be just as comfortable and safe. It was simple to install, the cover is machine washable (I didn't test this, but I'm glad I don't have to handwash!), the fabric is smooth and soft, and the cupholders are removable (for dishwashing). Also comes with plush strap covers. I really loved the strap holders that keep the belt out of the way while loading and unloading. Super easy to adjust the harness and headrest, as well as the recline. The only issue one might have is with the overall size. I installed it in my minivan which is no problem, but if space is a concern (like you need to do multiple seats in a row), I would double check the dimensions with your particular car. Overall, this seat is of high quality, safe, and has details that make parents' lives easier. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Car Seat to review!

We have been using our Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat for about 2 weeks now and it has definitely grown on me over that time. My initial reaction when I took it out of the box was WOW, this is SO BEAUTIFUL! I can't put my kid in here.... but of course, I had to. This seat is definitely very plush and well cushioned. One of my qualms with the seat is that the pads on the shoulder straps are too plush and too large. It makes them impossible to keep in place with a smaller child (we have been using the seat primarily on our 25 lb, average height, 18 month old). After about 4 days, I gave up and took them off, replacing them with a couple from another seat we have. They are just too thick and long to stay in place when you are placing an octopus in her car seat. However, I do love the cover for the receiver between the legs. It definitely helps avoid pinching little legs when buckling. The seat itself is much more substantial (read: heavy) than our other seats but less heavy than another 3 in 1 seat we had previously that is made for narrow cars. I would not want to drag this thing through an airport, definitely too heavy for that. I love that there are 3 levels of recline: reclined, semi-reclined, and upright. It's nice to have 2 options for rear facing. My 18 month old doesn't have to be laying back but a baby with less head control would be very safe without needing to use a pool noodle in the installation to achieve more recline. The cupholders that are dishwasher safe and very easy to remove (but not so easy that the kids can pull them out) are amazing. They are well within an 18 month old's reach, as compared to another seat we have that has a cupholder that attaches to the side, barely within my 3 year old's reach. Speaking of her, our 3 year old loved the seat, loved the cupholders, and wouldn't get out until she was forced. It must be a very comfortable seat! A big thank you to the weeSpring Parent Panel for letting us test out this seat.

We are a multi-car family living in suburban California and therefore were on the market for a second car seat. The Maxi-Cosi Pria 3-in-1 is a great option for us. Our baby is 6-months old, so rear-facing, at a recline. At first, I thought the two cup holders were unnecessary, but we put her toys in them (for now) and she actually loves the easy access! Install was very easy even though we had to work to get it secured enough using the seatbelt. Pro tip: sit on the seat (yes, you, the parent) and pull the belt tighter and at an angle - that helped a lot! I really like the material and padding on the Pria 3-in-1 - the chest pads, in particular, are really nice and sit nicely on baby's chest. The material is soft and plush and the color is really great! We went on a road trip for over an hour and baby looked comfortable and relaxed the entire time! After using the Maxi-Cosi Pria car seat my favorite features are: the 3-in-1 convertible seat so I don't have to worry about purchasing another one; the material and softness of the seat itself; the dual cupholders! My biggest complaints are: you really have to pull at the right angle to get the buckle secure enough on a smaller baby; the width of the Pria can be too much for some cars; we had to put it in the middle seat to get the proper recline and give up the passenger seat comfort. I would definitely recommend this seat to a friend - I love its safety and overall features. Most of my complaints are personal user issues that I feel are outweighed by a great product! I received this Infant Car Seat from the weeSpring Parent Panel.

My husband, daughter and I really love this car seat. My favorite part is that it will grow with my child until she no longer needs a booster seat. It is easy to install, adjust and change the seat height and straps. I appreciate that Maxi-Cosi has included magnetic strap holders so there is no danger of the child sitting on hot metal pieces and I no longer have to dig around the crevices of the seat to find the seat belt parts. We've had minimal spills since starting to use it but anything that's happened so far has been very easily wiped up but it makes me happy to know that the fabric is easily removed and replaced when in the laundry. I have 3 other car seats and none is as easy to clean as the Maxi-Cosi Pria 3-in-1 Convertible. My daughter has been very comfortable in the car seat and it's so nice that it comes with 2 cup holders, standard. I've had to purchase a second cup holder with my other seats. The only recommendation I have is to make the cup holder a bit bigger. The diameter is too short to accommodate most water bottles for bigger kids. I received this product to test through the weeSpring Parent Panel for my honest feedback.

My first thought when I laid eyes and hands on this car seat was, "Whoa. This is cushy!" Immediately I noticed how soft the fabric was, and how well cushioned the seat felt. I use this seat for my 3 year old, and he loved it! He kept telling me it was much more comfortable than his other convertible car seat. He loves the cushioned sides and the two cup holders - perfect to store his water in one and a few cars in the other. I love how easy it was to install the seat - just a few quick clicks - and adjust the headrest. I can customize exactly how he fits into the seat with both the headrest height and the depth of padded the center buckle between his legs, so it's not jamming up into his crotch. Getting him buckled in is a snap (pun intended), made that much easier by the buckle holders on the side which keep the straps out of the way while I get him secured. The fabric is super soft and easy to remove and replace, which is so important with my muddy, messy kiddo. The safety features, the sturdiness of the seat, and the well-cushioned side panels make me feel secure and confident having my child ride in the seat. The only aspect of the seat that was less than ideal was the size of the cushions on the shoulder straps. My son is just below average height for his age (40th percentile for height), and with the cushions on the shoulder straps I could not adjust the chest buckle so it was in the correct spot - the cushions were too long and prevented the buckle from moving high enough on his chest. Luckily they're removable, so I could still safely buckle him into the seat, but it left the shoulder straps naked against his neck. I would love if the cushions were slightly shorter to allow the chest clip to be correctly positioned with them in place. I'm so glad weeSpring Parent Panel sent me this seat to try! We will be using the Pria 3-in-1 seat for the next few years while my son moves through the next phases of car seats. I'm super impressed!

The Pria 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat came into my life right before my baby Teddy turned 1, and we both are so into his new rear facing big kid car seat. There are so many little things that make it a great choice. Easy enough to install and adjust to Teddy's size (according to my husband, this is not my area of expertise). The cup holders are easy to remove, and also fit in a Thomas train or a pacifier if your baby isn't toting around a sippy yet. The fabric is so soft and plush that I would happily sit in it myself. I will say we removed some of the extra padding on the straps because my husband and I thought it made it a little too bulky. Personal call, took 5 seconds so easy to do. The straps are great, and don't get tangled at all. On our way to a birthday party last weekend, we had to pass some winding mountain roads- I can now testify that the fabric is easy to remove, clean, and fit back on. So no worries if you have a heavy spitter, a kid who spills their after school snack, or need to deal with the occasional car sick kiddo. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this seat to try.

My son was having to ride in my daughter's old convertible car seat, I guess that comes with being the second child. But, Thanks to WeeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this infant car seat, he is no longer in a pink car seat. The Pria 3 in 1 Convertible car seat is so easy to install. It has the easy install clips to hook it in the car, and it makes taking the car seat out a breeze! I think that might be my absolute favorite feature. When you send the kids to the grandparents for the weekend, it makes it so nice to just push the clips and remove the car seat. I don't dread taking the car seat out of the car now. The buckle and harness straps are so easy to put on the child and to remove. I love how in the middle I can adjust the straps to make it easier to put it on my son, and it's just as easy to tighten the straps. The adjustable heat rest is so exciting because we won't need to buy another car seat for my son. I love that it will be a great forward-facing car seat, and that it will turn into a high back booster when the time comes. This is such a life saver and money saver for parents! The fabric is a nice neutral gray color, and my son was so exciting to get in it. Speaking of the fabric, it is so easy to remove that we can wash it whenever the need arises. It is even adjustable to where we can recline him or sit him up. The cup holders are easy to remove and are dishwasher safe. I cannot say enough good things about the Pria 3 in 1 Convertible car seat! Thank you WeeSpring for providing me with this infant car seat!!

Right out of the box, you can tell the Pria 3-in-one Convertible is niiiice. It's sleek, the fabric is dense and soft and smooth all at the same time, and my favorite part: the glide of the buckles. I've found that the when it comes to car seats, it pays to get one with the little extra luxuries and the Pria fits that bill. After all, you use it daily! Who needs the cheaper sticky buckles that cramp your thumbs to undo? The Pria eliminates that headache. Who needs a cover so intricate that it takes a you tube video to get off and on? The Pria eliminates that headache too. And if you've installed one car seat as a parent, why should you need a study guide to install another? The Pria eliminates that complexity too. Suffice to say, I love this car seat. It's so user-friendly and intuitive and Maxi Cosi thought of those little things - the buckles, the detachable cupholders, the strap holders, the easy way to adjust the height, it's just niiiice. My husband installed the Pria for my 15 month old a few weeks ago - she's rear facing. He didn't grumble and complain the way he typically does for our other seats, and commented that he'd "get another one." Yesterday we let her have a yogurt pouch while heading home and of course, after eating a little, she painted her legs and the car seat in yogurt. Uggghhhh. Off the cover went and into the wash. We let it air dry and it looked as good as new. The next morning, I had forgotten all about the car seat and FINALLY got us out of the house with minutes to spare, only to see my little one's car seat in the garage, uncovered. I believe a cursed under my breath. I rush led into the laundry room, put the cover on the car seat with no you tube guidance, installed it with the latch system and belt, and we were off. I could've won a contest. My only con- in the wash, some stitching came undone on the seat. I'll fix it before another wash. Thanks to WeeSpring Parent Panel for this great opportunity to try out the Pria!
