Comfortable and safe – My baby looks comfortable and safe in this seat. Inlays are very soft. Easy to attach in because of the isofix. No hassle to do the car seat. Safety harness is also easy to do. Value for money. Show reply
Safety and comfort – Very padded and protected seat and a good array of adjustments when our baby grows. It is very easy to lock and unlock and is a very solid. It can be used with both a seatbelt and the car fixings. Show details
Good, reliable seat – Good car seat, overall. I purchased this seat because of the isofix and ability to extended rear face. It is quite small, and fits into our i30 easily with room to spare. Easy to install, and get baby in and out of. The addition of some elastic straps on either side to ‘hold’ the straps between uses would be a welcome edition, but overall a good car seat. Show details
I wish I'd known before buying this seat – I've had this seat for 2.5 years. It is a great, comfortable seat for a newborn/small infant. My daughter is nearly 2.5 and is still comfortably rear facing. My issue is, and I've discovered from others using the same seat, there is a fault in the design once your child gets taller. The headrest will not move up high enough for the top marker to… Read more
be reached. The child's shoulders will run into the headrest, before being able to reach the top height marker (see photo attached - this is as high as the headrest will go). Therefore, this expensive seat, which in theory should be able to be used to 4+ years old, will not last as long as should be possible, making it's value for money poor when compared to other convertible car seats. I wish I'd known this before buying it, as my second choice was a similarly priced seat, with excellent reviews, and does not have this issue. I would not buy this seat again, knowing what I know now. However it was a fabulous seat, with great recline and very comfortable for my daughter up until we realised this. Other minor issues are: difficult to adjust/tighten the tether strap, difficult to install using ISOfix, and fabric does catch and pull easily.

Perfect for small car and love the Isofix feature – We checked out many baby car seats at baby shop before deciding to buy Maxi Cosi Euro NXT. We were looking for a slim design that has isofix feature for our small car. We don't know much about anything else at the start. We also like Britax Millenia but it is not as slim for our small car but Maxi Cosi Euro NXT is. We were lucky to find a… Read more
sale assistant who knows about cars and explain everything about different type of car seats. The below are as important for us once we know more about baby car seat.
We love the air cushion for the sides instead of foam. Seems more comfortable and safer.
We also have a feel of the material and it sure feels nice to touch hence we figured it will be comfortable for our baby and it seems breathable.
My toddler is 19months and she's still been rear facing without complaining (3 adjustable heights for head/shoulder).
Please note Isofix feature in baby car seat is so convinient and super easy to install. So many times i need to take out by myself and install the seat back within minutes, super quick.
Most importantly we check the safety rating for Maxi Cosi Euro Nxt and we are happy with it.
Found really good!! Easy to clean – I bought this brand new for the 1st, very good. As a family, we travelled every year for a longer period (1 month to 2 months on road occasionally). We have a 4WD so we did quite 4WD with the 1st when she hit 6 months and later around 10-11months up all to the NT and nearly half of the Australia. We've been on the island with rough sandy road and… Read more
out in the forest with narrow rocky road, we never had any problem with the Euro NXT. My Baby has no problem travelling in this seat, only problem but appear to all baby seaters in the market is that everyone need to get a cooling insert in summer especially in hot time as the cushion of the car seater is slightly puffy and you will find your baby inside sweat a lots, despite we all have the air-con in our car.
Personally, I was 1st time mum, know nothing about baby stuff, so did my homework and went out looking for reviews and any helps. Went the shop and found love in Euro NXT, soft, strong, enough pad insert to get baby a better support than those others baby seaters. After using for 1.5 years, good with my purchase. Most importantly easy to remove and throw into washing machine, hang for 1 day sometimes just over night, then dry and put it on, no problem with the fabric or anything.
I would recommend this to any mum.
Sadly disappointed! – I purchased this car seat after using a Maxi Cosi iso fix seat whilst in Europe, which I loved. Sadly I have been overwhelmingly disappointed with the Euro. My main frustration is the difficulty I have had to install it. It is not easy like the advert states! I have struggled to get the green to show on both straps and never got more than half… Read more
showing at best. It has basically been a full body workout to fit the seat into the car. When I took it to a professional to fit, she couldn't manage it either! The seat cover catches very easily on velcro leaving lots of snags (most toddlers have velcro on their shoes so this is mainly at the bottom of the seat. The strap holders to put the excess top tether strap in etc, are totally useless, the strap just falls out and hangs all over the place. The seat is very comfortable and is easy to adjust. I have been disappointed when taking the seat cover off - there are polysterene bits in the head protection which are hidden break very easily when removing the seat cover. Also the cover around the head has foam protectors which need to be removed when washing. Finally when I purchased the seat, it had a random bit of metal sticking out the bottom of the seat which was deemed to not to be part of the seat when I called up to check, Maxi Cosi replace with a brand new seat.I recently had to buy a second seat for my now 1 year old, I choose the Britax equivalent and am far more impressed with this one, it was easy to install and is equally comfy, great to adjust.

Comfortable, stylish and safe! – My baby is fussy and we found maxi cosi euro to be the most comfortable for her. We have tried a few car seats and she was so unhappy and hard to travel with. It is so good, my sister also got one for her boy. The design is great and also very stylish. The material also feels great!
Nice quality car seat – My child has been very comfortable in the seat from 4 months old to now at 2.5years. Pros: cool fabric, comfortable, easy to clean, install and adjust height and tightness (especially compared to our other cheapy one). Cons: the centre buckle was stiff in the beginning and would end up behind(instead of downwards) when putting child in.… Read more
It’s loosened now and no longer an issue. Fabric is pilling. It’s a bit wide so now we are having to change to fit 3 seats across - something to think about in general if you plan on having 3 kids.
Good seat for small children – This seat was really easy to install, it is compact but is clear that it is very safe with side air pockets etc. My daughter finds it very comfortable and so far it has been easy enough to clean. We have had some minor issues with the clips being difficult to get in, but obviously they always eventually click in. I'm not sure how much longer my… Read more
daughter will fit in this seat. She has just turned 3 years old and is approaching the top setting of the arm straps and she is not above average size.
Negative reviews
Comfortable seat with good safety ratings – We bought this seat on recommendation of baby bunting staff and after reviewing safety reports. It's a comfy, safe and ok option for the price. It's definitely a bit bigger than some seats and is quite reclined once my son got a bit bigger with no option to sit up more. The tightening of TM straps requires a fair bit of muscle and we recently bought the Britax Graphene and definitely find that easier to use. Overall, a pretty good seat though.
Not very comfortable for my baby – My baby is not very comfortable in it he was always crying when we put in it...and with the newborn insert he was very squeezed and he was probably filling very hot ...so we must remove the insert straight from the beginning and still not very enjoyable for our baby ....and also it is very massive baby car seat for our car we have mazda 3 sedan… Read more
and we were planing to put it at the middle on the back seat but it is not fitting...so now is on the side but still needs more space and bigger car
High Quality - Suit a Small Baby – Pros: The seat was easy to install and use. The materials are so luxurious compared to others. Baby doesn't over heat. It is pretty compact which is good. Cons: My bub was 8.8 pounds at birth and could only fit in the newborn insert for about 2 weeks. The seat is quite snug compared to others so im not sure this will make it to 4 years for us. Our other seat has more space and bub seems more comfortable and less balled up in it.

love it – I love this car seat. It has thick and soft cushion to protect my baby. It is very easy to install. Some parts can be removed for washing. Maxi Cosi is giving life time warranty of the car seat. It has few colours to choose from. My baby looks very comfy in the car seat.
very nice car seat – we have had this car seat since birth. It is very easy to install and worth the price since it lasts till 4 years of age. the fabric is very cool and easy to clean, different height settings are easy to use. Customer service from Dorell Australia is good - I have received a free car seat blanket upon registration and also had a free replacement of the top teether strap. These are free to check at your local pram/car seat repair man.
Using from Newborn – Although a little fiddling with using from a small newborn, once you both get used to it - it works very well. My baby loves going in the car and seems very comfortable. The newborn insert keeps her nice and snug and is easily removable to chuck in the washing machine from any nappy fails! Also dried on the washing line very quickly. Two small… Read more
cons - the fitting strap was a little tight, therefore making it difficult to manover baby in and out of the seat, normally you can loosen this strap to make putting the baby in and out easier. I had to purchase an extended for $30 to fix this issue. (As I have a relitively small car (Mitsubishi ASX) this was quite surprising). The seat does feel a little less quality than some of the more expensive brands. All in all quite happy with the product. Would be great as a 2nd car seat as I'm not sure how it will stand up over a few years but as I'm only two months in of using it - I cannot confirm this!
Not the cheapest yet great product – Very happy with the purchase of this baby car sit. Priced in the 400-500 range (with discounts) was one of our favorite ones. Bub seems to love it. If you compare to cheaper model you can spot the quality difference right away. Looks solid and strong. Again, in that price range was the best one we could find.
perfect – It is really easy to install with isofix, and can quickly complete the installation. The seat is comfortable, my child use it from new born, and never found she did not like it. It has clear mark when can turn forward. However, I think it is hard to wash. once i need wash it, I spend a lot of time to put off the cover, and put on the cover.
Love this! – Love our car seat - we have 2 of these. One for each car. They make me feel so secure having bubs in it. They had heaps of padding from newborn on wards. Now he's 18 months and we've turned it around and he loves the seat. Super supportive and comfortable.
good car seat to fit my Mazda 3 – This is the car seat fit my car the best. It is very easy to install. You just follow the instructions of the user manual. This car seat have a few colour variety to choose from. And the price is reasonable compare to others of same brand. The seat belt is very easy to adjust as well. Overall it’s not bad.
really great and snug – Fabulous carseat great cushioning. Hard to install in a Mazda 3 hatcback as isofix is not compatible so we had to get it professionally installed using the seatbelt method. Baby insert great for infants and removes easily for toddlerhood. Would recommend it as an everyday car seat. The extra cushioning can make it a bit too warm for bubs so make sure you use the aircon in the car if they are taking naps.
Simple to install – This car seat offers easy installation, beautiful design and a compact fit. Our car does not have ISOFIX and the car seat was still simple to self install. Straps are easily adjustable, no problems tightening or loosening them. Even though this car seat is not advertised as having a 'slim fit', the car seat fits nicely within my small car (VW Golf… Read more
hatchback) with lots of extra room for passengers within the front and back seats. Fabric feels really nice and cooling.

Value for Money – The baby seat is super easy to use, and the lil bub looks quite comfortable in there. Easy to wipe anything spillages and to clean it up, covers can come off that are machine washable. A bit on expensive side, however it is one of the safest seats out there.
Great car seat, worth the purchase! – Although it has a high price tag it is definitely worth it for peace of mind and comfort for your child. My son is now 18 months and still loves car rides which I believe is due to this amazing car seat. Instructions were so easy to install ourself which I thought would be a nightmare and saved a professional installing it. The fabric is so easy to wipe clean! Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great car seat!
Perfect from newborn upwards – Even though this was one of the most expensive seats we couldn't have been happier with the purchase. The newborn inserts just hugged my son and gave me piece of mind. We actually have 2, 1 in each car. We've now just turned it front facing and my son is so happy. He can still fall asleep comfortably although his head does fall forward now it's not tilted anymore.
Good car seat for first time – Indeed very easy to install! And very easy to use. My baby is only 1 month old,and she sleep comfortably, the look on her face is so peaceful. Cleaning is a simple task. Very easy to maintain! Would recommend this to my family and friends. All in all, simplicity and worth the value.
Fantastic! So worth the money – Very easy to install! And very easy to use. My baby is only 4 months old, so he can’t tell me how comfortable he is yet, but the look on his face says it all. He’s always falling asleep in the car, and I swear it’s because of the comfortable car seat! Cleaning is a breeze. Very easy to maintain! Would buy it again and again!
Offers great peace of mind – This car seat is amazing. Instructions were so straightforward we didn't have to pay for someone to install it and its very easy to remove and install in another car, so quick and easy. Our daughter seems to love it, will happily sit in the car seat for long drives and has remained quite cool despite the hot weather. The fabric is so easy to clean, wipes clean and if need be, is easy to remove to pop in the washing machine.
My little one loves this seat – This is a great seat, it's so comfortable and easy to clean! Great quality materials. Worth the expense. Would recommend for people that do a lot of driving or long distance as other seats don't offer the comfort, also great that you can use this for a baby first if you don't have a capsule.
Comfy for baby. Well made – Not the cheapest but look out for sales Fabric is good quality though.my rings have a tendency to snag on it. Easy to put child in and out. I like that you can easily adjust the shoulder straps height without needing to remove car seat. Super easy to install with ISO system. Baby readily falls asleep on car trips! Also like that it's rear facing for ages- approx 2 years
Love it so much we have TWO – So easy to install in the car, the iso attachments are handy too - no more accidentally having the bigger kids unbuckle the car seat. The cushioning that can be removed is ideal for newborn through to toddler. No risk of hot seat belts touching delicate skin. Great value for money (often on sale in Baby Bunting too). We have one for each car. Love it.
Exceeded Expectations! – This car seat is amazing! So easy to install yourself with their simple instructions, feels sturdy and our daughter loves car rides. The fabric is breathable and easy to clean as well. I also love that they will replace the car seat if it's involved in an accident. Offers great peace of mind!
Wonderful carseat – I love this carseat, especially because it is convertible and works with my baby from birth. My baby looks very cosy when sitting in the seat. He was a very tiny baby at birth, however he fitted in the seat perfectly. The seat is very easy to use and I can have our baby harnessed in securely pretty quickly. I have had a couple of incidents where my baby has made a bit of a mess in the seat, however it cleans up lovely with a damp cloth.
Easy to use – Once we got our heads around the weird instruction manual, it is easy to install in the car. Using it is very easy too. as first time parents however took us a while to work out how everything worked. That probably would have happened with any car seat. Baby seems comfortable and can sleep. For an expensive car seat, I didn't like that the fabric… Read more
could pull so easily, especially when the velco on the strap pads get into contact, now we have pillings. Removing fabric and straps to clean is hard but that could be contributed to our small car and just how they have to be made to comply with Australian standards. I really have nothing else to compare to, so we dont know any better. It does take awhile to dry so if your baby soils the seat, you'll be seatless for at least a day without a tumble dryer. Overall it is an easy and comfortable seat to use. I like that we can rear face for a long time.
Faulty, denied refund from manufacturer – Aside from the fact that my seat was faulty and Maxi Cosi as a whole was absolute appalling to deal with and rejected my request for a refund which was eventually fulfilled by the store I purchased at as they agreed there was definitely a fault... Maxi Cosi seats do not live up to their name, they have lower markers, meaning less value for money… Read more
in terms of longevity of the seat then seats made by different brands in the same category.
Easy to install except the Isofix always slips into red and has to be adjusted all the time. It's is difficult to tighten the harness to get it tight enough. My baby always seemed comfortable in the seat however did hurt his feet on the rebound/stabiliser bar a few times as it's rough plastic. Cleaning the covers is very easy.
