Our Review of the Maxi-Cosi Priori convertible car seat
With a streamlined design and plush, removable, and washable seat padding in eye-catching designs, the Maxi Cosi Priori Convertible Car Seat looks and feels unlike any other convertible seat you will find on the US market.
Maxi Cosi car seats are new to the United States, but have a long-standing reputation among European families as some of the safest, simplest, and most stylish carseats in the business. Maxi Cosi is essentially the Graco of the European market – coupling quality materials and safety features with streamlined designs that emphasize economy over flash. While affordable, Maxi Cosi car seats are the furthest thing from cheap.
The Maxi Cosi Priori is among the rare breed of car seats that protects an infant child up to 35 lbs. in a rear facing position, or a child from 22 to 40 lbs. in the forward facing position. Most car seats for infants have a max weight of 30-33 lbs. in the rear facing position. By using the LATCH attachments or your vehicle?s safety belts, the rear-facing-to-35 lbs. option makes the Priori extra safe for young passengers.
In another rare move, the Maxi Cosi Priori in its forward facing position has four recline positions that lets boys and girls up to 40 lbs. to relax on rides long or short. Few other car seats have this option. The Graco Safe Seat Step 2 also has a recline setting, but is forward facing only.
The Maxi Cosi Priori's recline is easily adjusted with the seat still installed (no need to stop and fumble) and colored level indicators ensure that the Priori's base is always installed at the proper angle. The colored level indicator is another of the Priori's rare qualities, as most convertible seats do not offer one. Couple the recline settings and level indicator with the deep EPP foam lined headrest, padded 5 point harness, and the unique support leg for the base that provides added stability, and the Priori proves to be as safe as it is sleep-friendly.
Bottom Line: The Maxi Cosi Priori convertible car seat is a distinguished reversible safety seat, and EliteCarSeats.com is excited to be offering them. Light, lean, and well designed, the safety, reversibility and recline setting offered by the Priori give it a high value.
