Dorel Juvenile Group (Dorel) is recalling certain Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 convertible car seats because the head excursion when using the lap belt without tethers in forward-facing mode could exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213, "Child Restraint Systems." This will cause your child to be less protected from injury in the event of an accident. To determine the model number and date of manufacture of the seat your child is using go to their recall website here.

The seat is extremely comfortable, and it comes with ample padding in the headrest to provide comfort to your child while riding. It has torso side-impact protection, which can help to avoid head injuries if there is an accident. Its shell is a little easier to clean than other seats, since it's open, allowing you to clean away dirt from the buckles and the seat back. It has two integrated cup holders that feature a rubber rim. But, they're too small for larger snacks or sippy cups.

The crotch cover is a challenge to remove, and children might complain that it irritates them when they sit in the seat. The cover also covers the lengthy rigid belt stalks, which are tough for older kids to use when buckling themselves up in booster mode. The seat has a more rigid path than its rivals, making it harder to install and could require assistance from an adult.

The Pria rear-facing seat comes with three crotch straps that are different in terms of size and position. However, they can only be used for children who weigh up to 85 pounds or 52 inches tall. This is a very small limit, and a lot of children will outgrow the seat before this height limit.

It has a nice line of a decal for the belt on your vehicle but there is no color-coding or lock off to tell you if it's at the right angle for install and is secure enough. It's also quite top heavy, and it requires some effort to ensure it stays upright when installing. maxi cosi spin car seat for LATCH were mediocre, while the tether was much simpler to use.

Weight

Maxi Cosi is a name synonymous with luxury, and this seat certainly lives up to the description. The fabric is extremely soft and soft, and the seat is super comfortable to ride in, even on long journeys (though getting kids out and in is a bit of a challenge). The seat comes with three ways to adjust the headrest and the height of the harness. It also has built-in harness holders that keep the straps from getting in the way while getting the kid into and out. This seat comes with two adjustable cup holders that can be washed in the machine and can be used for bottles or sippy cups.

The seat has an upper rear-facing limit than many of its rivals, with a maximum weight limit of 40 pounds and 43 inches. This means it's a bit of a squeeze to get most kids to five years old in this seat before they have to transition to a high-back booster. The crotch buckle has only one position when facing forward and we expect that most children will outgrow the seat before they reach the belt-positioning booster stage.

The seat comes with a cushioned harness cover that protects the chest sensor while using the crotch buckle when in forward facing mode. We found it a bit more difficult to take off than the other seats and wonder how well it will stand up to repeated washings, but it's machine-washable and dryer-safe. The Pria 85 Max has the super-comfy ClipQuik chest clip, which is magnetic and designed to be easy for caregivers to use, however difficult for kids to remove on their own.

Similar to the Pria 85 Max, this seat has a low rear-facing limit, at 39 pounds and 41 inches. It's going to be difficult for many kids to reach the age of 5 before they have to transition to a booster, and the crotch buckle only has one forward-facing position, which isn't particularly tall. The process of installing the seat is easier than other seats we've tried. The LATCH anchors are effective and the molded line that appears on the decal when the seat is correctly angled to allow belts to be installed can be helpful to parents who are new to the process.

Head Circumference

The seat is well-padded and has a headrest and a SIP area that will be comfortable for children to ride in. We like the fact that it comes with 14 height adjustments for the headrest, allowing you to raise your child's head as they increase in height. This will ensure that the child's head isn't too close to the back of the seat, which can cause serious injuries in the event of a crash. The headrest also features an infant insert that can provide extra padding for your child to be more comfortable.

The fabric of the Maxi-Cosi is soft and feels luxurious. It's a bit more difficult to remove and clean than some of the competitors however it is machine washable on the cold setting. The user manual is also kept inside the cover rather than being attached to the straps of the car seat. This makes it easier for caregivers installing or using the car seat.


When considering this car seat, it is crucial to keep in mind that the top tether is attached with a clip. This clip is designed to minimize head movement during an accident. The tether may not be required by iSize regulations but it can aid in ensuring your child's safety. The manual does recommend using a tether if your child weighs less than 65 pounds, and instructs caregivers to use the included harness pads to help keep them out of the way during installation.

It is also worth noting that the Cosi car seat weighs a bit more than other seats in its class, and its wider dimensions could pose a challenge for families who use it in rental cars or taxis. It also comes with two forward facing recline positions, and the third is more reclined than position 1. This could cause an opening between your child's head and seat back of the vehicle in the event of a crash.

This seat has excellent results in sled crash tests, which is a sign of its overall safety. It's also easy to install and use. It's an excellent option for parents who wish to ensure their child's safety in any situation.

Neck Circumference

This isn't as much of concern as head circumference when it comes to car seat safety however it is crucial to think about the size of your child's neck. A properly fitted seat should allow for your child's head to be properly supported. You can test this by putting your child's head inside the car seat and checking whether the top of their head is touching the car seat back. If it is, it's time to move them up to the next stage of a car seat.

The new iSize car seats differs from the older R44/04 car seat in that it relies on length instead of weight to determine the appropriate grouping for a particular seat. This is because children differ significantly in weight and height. In addition, using length considers that a child may have an increase in height at any point and get out of their current car seat sooner than anticipated.

The Pria 85 Max convertible car seat is designed to hold up to 85 pounds, and can accommodate children up to 52 inches in height. The crotch strap could be too short and can be a problem for the legs of children who are in the seat for prolonged periods of time. Fortunately, Maxi Cosi includes a strap for the crotch that you can use to alleviate this problem.

In sled crash tests, the Pria 85 Max performed better than many of its competitors. This is a good indicator that the seat is designed to meet the highest safety standards and will provide your child some extra margin of protection in frontal collision.

The only drawback of this seat is the difficult process of installing it. While it does have an built-in ISOFIX base however, it doesn't have a locking mechanism, and it could be difficult to install the belt by routing it through the lower anchors. It's also very top-heavy, meaning you'll have to wrestle with the seat and ensure it is upright when you thread the belt through the narrow belt pathway. It's a bit difficult and could take several tries to get this right.
