Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Convertible Car Seat review:- Pros
The Maxi Cosi Pria 85 convertible car seat has received excellent ratings from the user at diapers.com, toysrus.com, and amazon.com.
Babies love this convertible car seat and are very comfortable riding in the Maxi Cosi Pria 85.
This car seat fits small infants well, has great head and neck padding, and has soft, easy to wipe clean fabric.
The padded air protect headrest provides fantastic side impact protection for babies in the event of a crash and it also helps to prop up your baby’s head during naps.
No slumping heads in this car seat! Although the Pria is a large car seat, it still fits in compact cars well and it won’t force the front passenger seat forward.
The seat feels really solid, sturdy and well made and users love that the seat can be used from 4-70 lbs.
“You’ll never need another car seat!” One user says there is “not one thing wrong with this car seat. I’d highly recommend it!”
Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Convertible Car Seat review:- Cons
A few users find the seat difficult to install, but do say that once installed it feels very tight and secure.
A couple of users think the harness is difficult to adjust, but most users say the harness is easy to use so this is not a universal complaint.
One or two users dislike that the air protects headrest makes viewing out the window a bit difficult for some babies, but most users do not find this to be a problem and anyway, this is a major safety feature that is worth having, even if it minimizes the window view.
