We could not love this car seat more! Our son is currently 2.5yo and still rear facing and still loves it! We have a 2014 Isuzu Dmax and the Pria fits amazingly behind the passenger with plenty of room even for my 6ft husband Show details

The chair comes with inserts that are highly prone to mould. If your child spills water or milk (as most do—unless you’ve got a special edition who… Read more

doesn’t drink in the car on long drives), mould will quickly develop and spread inside the chair. The materials used make it almost impossible to clean properly, so the issue persists. Britax has declined to take responsibility for the poor material choice and instead offered replacement inserts for $50 AUD (for our two chairs).

Very disappointing, waste of substantial amount of money – We chose this capsule because of its up to 12 months status rather than up to 6 months, however after 8 weeks my average sized child was unable to… Read more

comfortably fit in the seat even with the newborn insert removed. My child would scream every time he was placed in the seat because it was so tight around him. I then had to purchase a 0-4years car seat from another brand and my child was instantly more comfortable and no longer upset when placed in the car. Personally I believe these capsules are a waste of money and are much too expensive for the very short amount of time that they are able to be used. We also purchased because we thought being able to move the capsule from car to pram would be helpful if our child was asleep but never actually did this because our child was never asleep in the capsule due to discomfort. I recommend going straight for a 0-4years or 0-8 years car seat rather than wasting large amounts of money on these pretty much useless capsules.

receptacle on our Tesla Model 3. We found a narrower seat for this car (Maxi Cosi Rodi) and continue to use the Britax in a bigger car.

month old baby was asleep in the seat. I looked in the mirror and noticed she was falling out of the seat over into the middle backseat. I could see the back of her head bent over her body and freaked out. I had to pull over to on the motorway to check on her and noticed the buckle was undone on one side. I fastened it again and then continued driving. I stopped 15 minutes later to check on her because I was so stressed and the buckle was undone again! It was working fine when I did it up both times. We checked it is locking in and fastening correctly yet it was spontaneously opening. I called the manufacturer for advice and they said sand, food, dirt, fluff can get in the buckle and stop it from working and to clean it out with water. I told them there is no way any of this is in the buckle the baby is 6 months old and does not go to the beach or play in dirt, or eat food in the seat. They said in hindsight yes it is not likely and said it must be faulty and to send it back so they can review it. I told them I am sending both seats back, I don’t want them and do not trust that they are safe. The britax customer service rep said in all her years of working there she can count on her hand how many times this has happened, and to keep the second seat because its statistically not likely to be faulty as well. I asked my mum friends if this has happened to any of them and they confirmed it happened to their capsule too which is the same brand. The britax rep in store was rude and unhelpful, didn’t apologise on behalf of the company and suggested I mustn’t have fastened the seatbelt right despite using it for 6 months with no issue, even though Britax customer service admitted they have seen this before and Baby Bunting had said they had seen it once too. Baby bunting refunded both seats, britax would not. Britax were absolutely shocking. We now use maxi cosi.

recalled. Do not purchase this car seat! Others have also experienced this issue and have also been ignored. The customer service is appalling, I have contacted maxi Cosi asking for a refund via email and have not received a response. They are aware of this issue and recently pulled the product off the shelf when I went to baby bunting to check my car seat but after visiting baby bunting again yesterday to question them regarding this issue they have recently changed the fabric due to how unbreathable it is but didn't address the head flop issue with the base of the car seat is still so low. Australian consumer laws entitle me to a refund as the product is not deemed safe and I have state this to maxi Cosi. This company does not care for the safety of your child, please invest your money else where as I have wasted $500 on this car seat which I can no longer use!

any much side-impact head protection compared to the other Britax models? His head is entirely self-supported in the seat and he can tilt his head from side to side very far, which I feel would cause a neck injury if the car was hit from the side. I am considering purchasing a different brand seat with more side cushioning.

it was secure enough to fit him safely. Super heavy car seat to transfer to pram though. Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars because I always had problems with the seatbelt straps - when I tightened them, they wouldn’t always tighten evenly on both sides (left shoulder strap would be tight and right shoulder strap would be so loose). This problem only fixed when I got bub out and adjusted them with both hands; which was quite annoying to do.

My baby hates this seat. Not practical for a new born to 3 months so far – I get infuriated every time I put my baby in this seat because of how impractical it is for new born-infant stage, and also for how much he hates it.… Read more

It isn’t practical for a newborn as is sits upright and doesn’t tilt all the way as shown in the instructions. The head rest on the newborn insert is not adjustable and the baby is just slumped in the seat. Looks so uncomfortable for him. When you adjust the lever for the shoulder straps, the buckle area gets tight while the shoulder are still a bit loose. Very unsafe! My son is now 3 months and he still hates it every time he has to be in it, and I hate it too. Wish I spent money on a different one

really impressed me though was their customer service. I reached out to ask if they had any inserts for the seat as I had lost mine and instead of just pointing me to a purchase option, they offered to send me one completely free of charge. That level of care and support is rare these days, and it really shows how much the brand values its customers. Between the quality of the seat itself and the outstanding service, I’d recommend Mother’s Choice to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy car seat.

When I contacted Infa Group, they dismissed the issue and claimed it must have been washed with a tissue, despite the photographs clearly showing the lining falling apart due to poor quality. This explanation was inaccurate and frustrating.

Overall, I’m very unhappy with both the product quality and the customer service. I would not recommend this product based on my experience.

part, and from the moment I spoke with Meg from customer service, I felt completely looked after.

Meg was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to help. Although the part I needed was out of stock, she took the time to check my warranty—and to my amazement, it was still covered under Maxi-Cosi’s amazing lifetime warranty. That kind of peace of mind is rare these days!

Since the part wasn’t available, Meg arranged for me to return the product to Baby Bunting for either a full replacement or store credit. The whole process was clear, fair, and handled with care.

It’s not just about great products (which Maxi-Cosi absolutely has), it’s about standing behind them—and this company does that better than anyone. Huge thanks to Meg and the Maxi-Cosi team. You’ve earned a lifelong customer!
