Did you know that Maxi-Cosi car seats are among the safest on the market. With many safety and ease of use features, plus our patented technologies you are guaranteed that your baby will travel in quality safety and style. But... it's very important that you know how to install your baby car seat carefully and use them correctly. Read our safety tips for using your Maxi-Cosi baby car seat.

Why rear-facing travel?

As parents we all want the safest option for our children. Despite Australian Law where parents are legally able to turn their children's car seat to forward facing at six months,  we at Maxi-Cosi recommend keeping your child rearward facing up to 30 months (or as close to that as possible) as there are studies that show that it is far safer to keep them rear facing for longer.

 

Why facing backwards is better

In an accident, a rear-facing car seat reduces impact on a baby’s vulnerable head and neck. That’s why it’s safer to keep using a rear facing seat – even when your child outgrows his baby car seat.

 

Our Maxi-Cosi baby car seats are among the safest you can buy, but they need to be fitted and used correctly, everyday for safe travel and maximum protection. And at Maxi-Cosi we take safety extremely seriously.

Top Rules for Purchasing and Installing a Baby Car Seat

How do you know you’ve purchased the best car seat and installed it in such a way that it will keep the child as safe as possible in case you get into an accident? Read on to find out more...

“I think one of the biggest things I’ve learnt from this is you can’t put a price on your child’s life. I know things are expensive and it’s hard but I think if you were to save up for just one thing, it would be a car seat. I used to hear about accidents happening all the time and I used to just think it will never happen to me but it did and life changed forever.”
Car seat installation is one of those topics that makes even the most experienced parent nervous… especially so because there is so much at stake. To confuse matters even more, it’s not a case of ‘install one car seat and you can install them all’ because every car seat will vary slightly in the installation method. And then there is the choice between Isofix vs seat belt installation. We want to demystify car seat installation and give parents the knowledge and tools they need to install their Maxi-Cosi car seats with confidence. This isn’t something that is worth taking a risk on. So which should you choose - Isofix or car seat belt?

i-Size is a European car seat safety regulation that came into force in July 2013. It’s part of the R129 regulations and applies to new car seats for babies and young children up to around four years old.

i-Size was developed using the very latest research into child safety in cars

    Our brand was born in the Netherlands in 1984. At that time, there were very few ways to travel with your children safely in the car. That all changed in 1984 when Maxi-Cosi introduced the first baby car seat in Europe. It was simply a revolution. We've come a long way since then. Maxi-Cosi has become the generic name for the entire baby car seat category in Europe.
