They are necessary for your child and they can be organised into 3 broad categories based on age and weight. They are for baby, toddler and child. With the wide range of designs and models, Maxi Cosi car seats fulfil your every requirement.

Baby Seats

Baby seats are suitable for use from birth to 12 months or up to 13 kg. The Maxi Cosi Cabriofix is the perfect start to you baby's car seat use. It is available in a wide range of colours and only weighs just over 3 kg. It is suitable for use on car seats with a three-point seat belt, the easy base or easyfix base. It must not be used on seats, which are protected by an airbag in front of them but is fine with side and curtain airbags. So effectively baby car seats should be used on back seats only and in a rearward facing direction.

Toddler seats are designed for toddlers from 9 months to around 3 1/2 years old. In weight terms this is 9 - 18 kg. You have a choice of 5 models in this group and they are the Tobi, the Axiss, the PrioriFix, the Priori XP and the Priori SPS. So you have a great choice of excellent seats with a range of colours and designs.
