Reviews for Maxi-Cosi Priori convertible car seat

We got this a few days ago and I quickly got to work setting it properly for my son. The instructions were not as easy to follow as I had read they'd be. The car I was installing it into does not have LATCH so figuring out what to do with the LATCH straps was daunting as they only give you a small picture and a large warning about not securing the straps causing danger. Once I enlisted some aide to install the seat things were smooth sailing! My son LOVES the seat and so do I. It has great safety reviews and it looks good. We are not a teddy bears and cutsie lambs kind of family so this seat fits us to a tee! Because of this great seat I have since bought the quinny zapp...for the next child we have we will certainly be investing in the maxi-cosi mico and the quinny buzz...we are in LOVE with this stuff now! Oh and the gypsy colorway is beautiful...the teal is brighter than I expected but we love it!

We love this car seat! The only problem we had with it was that it was much more difficult to install than we thought it would be.

I searched long and hard before purchasing a car seat. I chose to go with Elite Car Seats due to the shipping insurance. The seat was backordered over a month and their customer service people were prompt and polite when responding to my questions via email. With that said, the seat- I have a SUV and could not get this seat in properly using the LATCH system. We finally installed it using the seat belt. (this may have been my vehicle's fault not a fault of the care seat) I bought this seat because of the recline feature and the padding. I do not think it reclines much but my daughter loves it so my thoughts on that don't matter :) Other reviews mention strap twisting, I have had this seat two months and have no problems. I don't seem to have the color level indicator on mine either, maybe the description is wrong? Honestly my only con for this seat is that it can only be spot cleaned versus washing the entire cover, but I can live with that.

I am soo glad I have this now and could get rid of my Graco piece of junk. The Priori is very well made, very comfortable for my tall 6 month old. No more screaming his head off as I drive.. he actually sleeps in his car seat now! AND, doesn't sweat in it because it's made with breathable fabric. Also, the click in LATCH handles are soo easy. So glad it is now available in the States (especially considering that it is better than anything I've seen here)! We will be getting one for my sis in law for Xmas since she likes mine so much. Stylish, well made and comfortable. What more can you ask for!

I love the look, the size, the color, best of all my daughter loves it she's got her cup holder and it reclines when she tired it's great

The other reviews pointed out all the good features of this seat: high, comfortable, well padded.Seat reclines well and easy to adjust while occupied by baby,I don't have to look back while reclining the seat. The most important of all was that the harness was very protective. We were involved in car crash by another driver who was (DUI), our car was hit hard and spun around but the car seat was fixed in its position. My baby only cried for 10 seconds and he was all smiles as usual. This is one of the best seat in the market.The only drawback is that the cup holder comes of the seat.

I bought this seat because I am going to be flying with our 3 mo old in October. Normally, he is still in his infant carrier because it is most convenient when running in and out of stores. But we used this one day, when we knew we weren't going to be needing the infant carrier and he loved it. He fell asleep as soon as we started moving and I was easily able to recline it so he wasn't uncomfortable. He was only 2 mo at the time and it worked great!

We travel several hundred miles at least twice a year for vacation. We have Britax car seats that we've used since our son got out of the infant seat but by the end of our trips, he would cry and fight being in his carseat. I was a little hesitant about spending a bunch of money on another car seat that we really didn't need but decided to give it a try for those long road trips because it "reclines". At first I didn't think it reclined enough to make a difference, but having just returned from one of our road trips, we are glad we decided to buy it. It doesn't recline much, but just enough to make a difference and we drove 14 hours home in one day and our son didn't scream the last couple of hours or fight his seat. One complaint is the chest clip seems to slide down. I had to keep pushing it back up periodically.
