Dorel Juvenile Group is recalling certain
maxi cosi pearl pro 2 i size car seat Cosi Pria85 Convertible car seat due to the fact that the head movement while using the lap belt without the tether could surpass Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 "Child Restraint Systems". This could lead to your child's injury in a crash. Visit their recall page to verify the model number and manufacture date of the car seat your child is using.
The seat is extremely comfortable and has ample padding in the headrest to provide comfort for your child when they ride. It has torso side-impact protection that can help protect the head from injury in the event of an accident. Its shell is easier to clean than other seats because it's open, allowing you to wipe away grime from the buckles and the seat back. It does come with two integrated cup holders with a rubber-like rim, which may be a little smaller for larger sippy cups or snacks.
The crotch buckle cover is pretty difficult to remove and could cause kids to complain that it irritates their thighs when they try to use 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. This seat also has a less rigid belt path than some of its competitors, which means it's harder to achieve a tight installation and may require assistance from an adult.
For rear-facing use, the Pria has three crotch buckle slots that differ in size and location, but it only allows them to be used by children who weigh 85 pounds or 52" tall. That's very short and a lot of children will outgrow the seat before the height limit particularly if they are used in the most upright harness position, which requires that their shoulders be above the top of the fully extended headrest.
It has a nice line that is level on a decal to the vehicle belt, but no color coding or lock off to inform you when it's at the right angle for install and is sufficiently secure. It's also very heavy and requires some wrestling to keep it in place during installation. The anchors for LATCH were average, but the tether was much easier to use.
Weight
Maxi Cosi is famous for its luxurious seating, and this one certainly lives up to that billing. The fabrics are 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 both the height of the headrest as well as the height of the harness. It also has built-in harness holders which keep the straps out of the way when the child is taking a ride in or out. This seat comes with two adjustable cup holders that are machine-washable and can be used for bottles or sippy cups.
The seat's rear-facing weight and height limit is lower than the majority of its rivals, at 40 pounds. It will be a challenge for most children to reach 5 years old in this seat, prior to having to transition to a high back booster. The crotch buckle has only one position when forward facing and we expect that most kids will outgrow this seat before reaching the belt-positioning booster stage.
This seat comes with a padded cover for the harness to shield the chest sensors when the crotch strap is used in a forward-facing orientation. It was a little more difficult to take off than other seats, and we're wondering how it'll hold up over time. However, it's machine washed and dryer safe. The Pria 85 Max has the incredibly convenient ClipQuik chest clip, which is magnetic and designed to be easy for caregivers to use but difficult for kids to let go on their own.
This seat, like the Pria 85 Max has a very low rear-facing limit of 39 pounds and 41" This seat will be difficult for many children to use until they reach the five-year mark, and there is only one forward-facing position on the strap for the crotch. Fortunately, the process of installing is much easier than most other seats we've tested. The LATCH anchors are easy to use and the decal's molded line that shows when the seat is at the correct angle for vehicle belt installation is helpful for parents who are just starting out.
Head Circumference
This seat has a well-padded headrest and a SIP area that is suitable for children to ride in. We like that it has 14 height adjustments for the headrest, allowing you to raise your child's head as they grow. This will ensure that the child's head doesn't get too close to the back of the seat, which can cause serious injuries in a crash. The headrest also features an infant insert which will provide extra padding for your child to be more comfortable.
The fabric on the
maxi cosi Car seat weight limit-Cosi feels soft and high-quality. It's a bit more difficult to take off the cover and clean it than other models however, you can wash it on the lowest setting. We also like that the user manual stores inside the cover, instead of being attached to the harness straps as this makes it easier for caregivers to access when installing or using the car seat.
When considering this car seat, it is crucial to keep in mind that the top tether is connected via clips. The clip is designed to limit head movement during an accident. The tether might not be required under iSize's regulations but it can aid in ensuring your child's safety. The manual recommends using a tether if your child is under 65 pounds, and instructs caregivers to use the included harness pads to help keep them away from the way during the installation.
It is also worth noting that the Cosi car seat weighs a bit more than other seats in its class and its wider width could be a problem for families who are using it in rental cars or taxis. It also has two forward facing recline positions and the second is more reclined than position 1. This could create a gap between your child's head and the seat of the vehicle in the event of a crash.
This seat has excellent results in sled crash tests which is an indication of its overall security. It also has a huge amount of padding and is easy to install and use. It's a great option for parents who want to make sure that their child is safe in all situations.
Neck Circumference
This isn't as big of concern as head circumference when it comes to car seat safety, but it is important to take into consideration your child's neck size. A properly-fitted car seat should allow for your child's head to be properly supported. You can test this by placing your child's head in the car seat and seeing if the top of their head is touching the back of the car seat. If so, it's probably time to upgrade them to the latest car seat.
A major difference between the new i-Size car seats and the older R44/04 car seats is that iSize makes use of length to alter the group for a particular seat instead of weight. This is because children vary significantly in weight and height. In addition, using length takes into account that a child may have a growth spurt at any time and grow out of their current car seat sooner than they would have expected.
The Pria 85 Max is an all-in-one convertible car seat which is rated to up to 85 pounds and up to 52 inches tall. The crotch strap can be too long and can be a problem for the legs of children who sit in the seat for prolonged periods of time.

In sled crash tests the Pria 85 Max performed better than its rivals in sled crash tests. This is a sign the seat is designed to meet the highest standards of safety and should provide your child with extra protection in a collision.
This seat has only one drawback in that installation is arduous. It has an ISOFIX base built in however, it isn't equipped with an locking mechanism. Installing the belt on the vehicle through the lower anchors could be difficult. It also has a top-heavy. This means that you'll need to fight with the seat in order to keep it straight and thread the vehicle belt through. This can be a hassle and could require several attempts to achieve the right result.
