MAXI-COSI CABRIOFIX – THE SAFEST SEAT IN ITS CLASS

It sounds simple, but a parent’s first step to choosing their baby’s car seat is to look at their own car.  The safest seats on the market are those with IsoFix fittings.  This means that they have a base that clips into a car’s existing anchorages that will have been factory-installed.

If the parent’s car is IsoFix enabled, then they should buy an IsoFix seat.  Not only does this make the seat easier to take in and out of the car, it also increases the likelihood of fitting it correctly.

Even if dad’s car has IsoFix then he should take into account other people whose cars the baby may travel in: granny, nanny, partner, etc. that might not have the right fittings.

A good way of dealing with this issue is to choose a seat like the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix.  Not only is this the safest seat on the market, having come out top in consumer tests, but it can also be used with both IsoFix fittings and traditional car seat belts.  Buying a CabrioFix therefore avoids having to have several seats for different cars.

This seat comes with a separate EasyFix base that clicks into the car’s IsoFix fittings.  This means that the seat itself simply clicks on and off the base when required, so that both baby and seat can easily be lifted in and out of the car.  The seat can then be used as an infant carrier or clicked onto a compatible pushchair to form a travel system.

The CabrioFix seat has an integral harness, side-impact protection, built-in sun canopy, and comfortable carry handle.  It also has a removable wedge, making the seat flatter for young babies and adjusting to a more traditional seated position as the child grows.  This special feature avoids the baby being in a seated position too long, which is not good for its development.

This Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix is compatible with a wide range of pushchairs. In fact, many manufacturers have designed their pushchairs, buggies and strollers to fit this award-winning car seat.  Therefore, it’s not necessary to buy the same brand of car seat and stroller and it’s often better to ‘mix and match’ to get the features you want.

The recommended retail price is £115.00 for the CabrioFix and £112.55 for the EasyFix base. For more information on the seat visit www.maxi-cosi.com
