An Easy-To-Follow Guide To Maxi Cosi Car Seat Weight Limit
Maxi Cosi Pria 85 Convertible Car Seat Review 
 
This car seat comes with a soft carrier that can be removed and reduce the weight of the car seat by 50%. It is a great option for parents who want to make the most of their investment. 
 
It comes with a visible indicator that changes from green to red to indicate that the belt is properly tightened during installation. This will ensure that your child will be secure in their seat during an accident. 
 
Height 
 
Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Convertible car seats because the head excursion when using the lap belt only without the tether in forward-facing mode could exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213, “Child Restraint Systems.” This will result in your child being less protected from injuries in the event of a crash. Visit their recall page to find the model number and manufacture date of your child’s car seat. 
 
This seat is extremely comfortable and has plenty of padding on the headrest to ensure your child’s safety while riding. It also comes with side impact protection for the torso which is a great feature that can help prevent head trauma in the event of collision. It’s shell is easier to clean than most seats due to its open. You can clean off grime from the buckle area and the seat back. It comes with two cup holders that have a rubber rim. But, they’re too small for larger sippy cups. 
 
The crotch cover is a challenge to take off, and kids may complain that it pinches them when they sit in the seat. The cover also covers rigid belt stalks that could be difficult for older children to use when buckled up in booster mode. The seat also has a more belt path that is more rigid than some of the competition and makes it more difficult to get a tight fit and could require some help from an adult. 
 
For rear-facing use, the Pria comes with three crotch buckles which vary in size and position however it is only able to allow them to be used by children up to 85 pounds or 52″ tall. This is a low limit and many children will leave the seat prior to this height limit. 
 
It has a good line level on a decal for the belt of your vehicle but there is no color-coding or lock off that tells you if it’s on the correct angle for installation and is sufficiently secure. It’s also very heavy and requires some wrestling to ensure it stays upright during installation. The anchors for LATCH were average, but the tether was a lot easier to use. 
 
Weight 
 
Maxi Cosi is known for luxurious seating, and this one certainly lives up the claim. The fabrics are extremely soft and cushiony and the seat is comfy to ride in, even on long journeys (though getting kids in and out of it is a bit of a challenge). The seat comes with three ways to adjust the headrest as well as the height of the harness. It also has built-in harness holders that keep the straps from getting in the way while allowing a child in and out. The seat also features two machine-washable, removable cup holders with an open design that can fit sippy cups and bottles that have handles. 
 
The seat’s rear-facing weight as well as height limit is lower than most of its rivals, at 40 pounds. It will be difficult for most children to reach 5 years old in this seat, before they have to transition to a high back booster. The crotch buckle can only be used in one position when facing forward and we believe that the majority of kids will outgrow it before they reach the belt-positioning booster stage. 
 
 
This seat has a padded harness cover to protect the chest sensor when you use the crotch buckle when in forward-facing mode. It was a little harder to remove than other seats and we wonder how it will stand up over time. However, Push Chairs And Prams is machine washable and dryer safe. The Pria 85 Max comes with the magnetic ClipQuik chest clips that are designed to make it simple for caregivers to use but difficult for children to release themselves. 
 
Similar to the Pria 85 Max, this seat has a low rear-facing limit, at 39 pounds and 41 inches. It’s a bit difficult for a lot of youngsters to use until they reach the 5-year-old mark, and there’s only one forward facing position on the crotch strap. The installation process is much easier than most other seats we’ve tested. The LATCH anchors are easy to use, and the decal’s molded line that shows when the seat is at the correct angle for vehicle belt installation is useful for parents who are first-time parents. 
 
Head Circumference 
 
This seat is well-padded with a headrest as well as a SIP area that will be suitable for children to ride in. It comes with 14 height adjustments for the headrest. This allows you to raise your child’s head as they get older. This will help to ensure that their head doesn’t get too close to the back of the seat, which can cause significant injuries in the event of a crash. The headrest also features an infant insert that will give extra padding to your child to feel more comfortable. 
 
The fabric of the Maxi-Cosi is soft and luxurious. It feels premium. It’s more difficult to take off and clean than some of the competitors, but it is machine washable on a cold setting. We also like the fact that the user’s manual is stored inside the cover, instead of being attached to harness straps, making it easier for caregivers to access when installing or using the car seat. 
 
One thing to keep in mind when you are considering this car seat is that it has clips for the top tether which is intended to reduce head-on excursions in the event of an accident. The tether is not required by the iSize regulations, but it could be a helpful addition to your child’s safety. The manual suggests the tethering of your child when they weigh less than 65 pounds. It also advises caregivers to keep their hands away from the harness when putting the harness on. 
 
It is also important to note that the Cosi car seat weighs slightly more than other seats in its class and its larger width could be a problem for families who use it in rental cars or taxis. It also has two forward facing recline positions. The second is more reclined than position 1. This can create gaps between your child’s head and the seat back of the vehicle in a crash. 
 
This seat is a top crash test results on sleds which is a good sign of its overall safety. It is also easy to install and use. It’s a great option for parents who wish to ensure their child’s safety in any situation. 
 
Neck Circumference 
 
This isn’t as big of an issue as head circumference in relation to safety in car seats, but it is important to think about the size of your child’s neck. A properly fitted seat should allow for your child’s head to be supported. You can test this by holding your child’s head in the car seat and seeing if the top of their head is touching the car seat back. If it is, it’s time to upgrade them to an upgraded car seat. 
 
The new iSize car seat differs from the previous R44/04 car seat in that it uses length instead of weight to determine the class for a specific seat. This is because children of the same age may differ in height (tall/short) and weight (light/heavy). The length factor also considers that a child might experience an upward growth spurt and outgrow their car seat earlier than they had anticipated. 
 
The Pria 85 Max is an all-in-one convertible car seat which is rated up to 85 pounds and up to 52 inches tall. However the crotch buckle could be a bit short and can pinch the thighs of children when they sit in the seat for extended durations of time. Maxi Cosi offers a crotch buckle cover to alleviate this issue. 
 
In tests of sled crashes, the Pria 85 Max performed better than its rivals in sled crash tests. This is a sign the seat has been constructed to the highest standards of safety and should give your child additional protection in the event of a collision. 
 
The only downside to this seat is the lengthy installation process. While it does come with an built-in ISOFIX base however, it doesn’t have an locking mechanism, and it could be difficult to install the belt by routing it through the lower anchors. It is also extremely top-heavy, which means you will need to struggle with the seat to maintain it upright while you thread the belt through the narrow belt pathway. It’s a bit difficult and could take a few tries to master this.
