Maxi Cosi

The drive home from hospital is the slowest twenty minutes of most parents' lives. Maxi Cosi is the name a great many Australian families trust for that trip and every one after it, right through to the year your child argues about needing a booster at all.

A Car Seat Name That Grew Into the Whole House 

Maxi Cosi built its reputation on car seats and is still best known for them, but the range here goes considerably further than the car. Prams, high chairs, bouncers, a rocker, a swing, a travel cot, a bedside sleeper and a baby monitor all carry the same badge. There's a practical benefit to that beyond convenience. The Oxford stroller takes a Maxi Cosi bassinet, the adapters connect a Maxi Cosi capsule to a Maxi Cosi frame, and the accessories are made for the seats you already own, so the pieces are designed to meet rather than approximately fit.

ISOFIX, Top Tethers and Seats That Turn 

Every child restraint sold for use in Australia must meet AS/NZS 1754, so the question isn't whether a seat is safe but which one suits your car and your life. Maxi Cosi gives you both installation routes: ISOFIX models that clip to anchor points in the vehicle, and seatbelt-installed versions for cars without them. Worth knowing that in Australia the top tether strap is used either way, and the range includes tether adjusters and extension straps for vehicles where the anchor point sits awkwardly.

The rotating Raia is the one we'd point at if your back is complaining. It turns to face the door so you're lifting a child straight in rather than twisting into the footwell, which sounds minor until you've done it four times a day for a year.

From the First Drive to the School Run

• Newborn: the Mico range ofcapsules lifts out with your baby still in it, so a sleeping newborn goes from car to pram without waking. Spare bases mean a second car is a click away.

• Toddler: the Pria and Raia sit in ourcar seats range as convertibles, staying rear-facing longer before turning forward.

• Big kid: the Tuva and Rodi arebooster seats with tall backs and side wings for the school years.

• Out of the car: the Oxford and Mali cover theprams end, and the Moa and Minla sit with ourhigh chairs.

• Everything else: the Calao travel cot, the See Pro monitor, the Dove bouncer, the Kori rocker and the Cassia swing, plus mirrors, sunshades and seat protectors for the car itself.
