Reviews for Maxi-Cosi Priori convertible car seat

I purchased this seat 5 months ago and I absolutely love it! I researched alot before I purchased the Maxi Cosi and was looking at the Graco that reclined because I wanted that feature but that seat was just too bulky and then I found the Maxi Cosi and the size is just right. It fits great in my Ford Explorer. My daughter can now sleep comfortable in the seat without having her head flopped forward. This is absolutely the best seat for those naps in the car! The color choices are wonderful, I have the Indian Spice that matches the color of my car and it looks great. The only downfall is that the seat cover does stain easliy when water or baby drool falls on it, but that is the least of my worries, it can be cleaned. I highly recommend Elitecarseats.com, they were the best in customer service and super fast shipping! I had a few questions before I made my purchase and they were very prompt to respond and courteous. I will definetly do business with them again in the future.

I searched and searched for a great car seat that wasn't too big and also had a nice design/color scheme. I actually purchased my Maxi Cosi about a year ago after they were FINALLY released for sale in the US. I have been completely satisfied. I drive a Volvo S60 and had a hard time finding a car seat that would fit in the space that would allow my daughter actual leg movement :). The reclining feature is fabulous and and husband is always trying to steal my seat for his car (he has a britax). If you are still on the fence about which car seat to purchase - your search is over.

We have been very pleased with this car seat. We bought it for our 3rd child because we needed something that would fit between a Britax Roundabout and a high-back booster seat, in the back seat of a Ford Expedition. I'm not sure if it is because we have owned 5 different car seats, so therefore we now just know what to do without looking at the directions, or maybe they updated the instruction book, but we didn't have any problems installing or adjusting the seat... My husband did a happy dance when he saw that this seat had what he calls a "quick release LATCH hook." I also really love the colors on this seat. It is a nice change of pace from the denims and floral prints you usually see. Since we live in the Deep South, it is often hard to find a car seat cover that doesn't look like it would fry my child in the summer. I'm sure that once she is big enough to face forward, we are going to love the recline also. Lastly, I think that this seat sits up a little higher than most. Our daughter seems very happy and can easily interact with her sisters.

We have 2 Prioris for our twins. This is the only 2nd level carseat that IS good and LOOKS good. (I dont know why graco and britax have to make products that look like theyre from a quilting bee in 1982). Anyway, the material feels good, and the seat feels sturdy. And it has a nice cup holder on the side. The Priori also lets u clip the straps back when u take the kid out so when u put her back, she's not sitting on them. The only thing is that the straps can get twisted as times, but that can happen on any seat.

the directions for adjusting the straps are vague - was very difficult until I realized I was doing it wrong but once I figured that out and started doing it the right way it was much easier. I also don't like how easily the fabric gets marks on it. Drool, spit etc. who has time to take the seat all the time to clean th ewhole cover?? Not me. That Aside I love this car seat. It is very well made, my little one seems comfortable and the straps are very easy to adjust and keep in place. I recommend this seat, its well worth the price.

I love this car seat. We researched to find the safest and most reliable car seat. Graco and Evenflo among others have so many recalls I don't trust there brand at all. This car seat is more compact then the other convertible car seats. Our car is a Mazda 3 so we need a small car seat. The manual was more difficult to comprehend then our infant car seat (Peg Perrego, which I also recommend for infant seat) but we got it after a while. We love that the seat reclines for sleeping. This was recommended to me by someone and I recommend this car seat as well.

The only thing better than the seat, is the fast shipping from EliteCarSeats!

We bought the Maxi Cosi Prior convertible seat after researching various seats at stores & on the internet. The Britax seats were alluring but they simply seemed too bulky when we looked at them in person. The Maxi Cosi seat is well made and seems solidly constructed. The multi-level incline was a plus. We still have our daughter in the rear facing position for safety purposes. The seating position seems much more comfortable compared to a Cosco seat that grandma uses. Our daughter doesn't seem to mind being in the seat for relatively long drives. The seat was very easy to set up and install. Our cars are not large (Lexus IS & Acura TSX) and it fits without problems. The seatbelt-like LATCH system works great in comparison to the cheap hook/clips found in lower-end seats. The color scheme was pleasing to the eye, keeps cool in warm weather (we're in southern CA) and more modern appearing than others on the market. The only complaint we have is that there's no place for a cup-holder. We wholeheartedly recommend this car seat.
