I lost the crotch pad for my baby seat. I could see only the whole fabric replacement at a decent cost for sale as a spare part (which in itself is great as some places don't even provide replacement parts at all. But I didn't need a whole fabric as mine was only a couple weeks old.) I called up and advised I only needed 1 part and they were more… Read more ·  1

then happy to help me out and send me the 1 part saving me from having to buy the whole seat fabric.

Fantastic service.

We have been using the Pria for 8 months now and it is incredible. I have recommended it to anyone who asks as it is so easy to use. The smart guide for the rear strap makes it so easy to get bub in and out, including the sleepy car to bed transfer. I have used other car seats and they do not measure up to the pria! Show reply

Makes car trips so much easier! – The Pria LX G-Cell has been a game changer for our family of 5. We currently drive a Subaru Outback and have two car seats already, one rear facing and one forward facing, so it was essential for us to have a car seat that would work in a 3 across configuration for our latest addition. The Pria was easy to install and by far the slimmest of the… Read more ·  1

seats we own. The smart guide top tether routing has made our lives so much easier in terms of ease of access getting bub in and out of the car. The seat also features magnetic clip holders that will hold your clips in place making it easier to get bub in and secure, faster and without worry of a twisted seatbelt.

Features I really enjoy about this seat include: - How cool the seat stays in hot weather due to the wicking and air ventilation. - The covers have held up well going through the wash (as we have already had to deal with a couple of vomits and one poonami so far!)

I recommend this seat if you are looking for something slimline in your car to fit with your existing car seats, if you want complete ease of access getting your baby in and out of the car as well as a car seat that’s easy to clean.

This car seat ticked all my boxes! – Very happy with my purchase. Haven't been able to try the seat out as bub isn't born yet. I am extremely please with the design as my biggest concerns were overheating, secondary to bubs posture. I love that the tether straps are better located than previous car seat designs (the last baby car seat I bought was in 2009!). Honestly, there are sooo… Read more ·  3

many things that led my to choose this car seat for my child. The bamboo fabric was a must. Having baby facing reward for longer. So many excellent features. I also love the compact design. Although I have a large sedan I also have two young adult sons and its nice to know that they can still fit in the car comfortably enough with the baby seat, not that that happens too often these days. If I can, I will update when we get to try out the seat with our new baby.

Update: Bub loves it (almost 8 weeks old). We can easily fit adults in the back of the Falcon with the seat in the middle. I'm absolutely loving the strap design.

Quality, comfort, the best features, ease of use, amazing safety features. Love, love, love this seat! – I absolutely the new Maxi Cosi Pria LX G-Cell. It exceeded my expectations and is actually even better than it looks in the pictures and videos. Of all the car seats I have had this is by far the best. It looks super comfortable, feels of exceptional quality and my baby loves it. She fell asleep almost instantly as soon as we went for a drive,… Read more ·  1

which is a bonus seems she screamed the whole time in another car seat I had for her.

The quality and new features of the Maxi Cosi Pria LX G-Cell are amazing and like no other I have seen before and I have had a lot of car seats over the last 21 years straight with 7 children aged from 21 years old to 8 months old.

Quality features for me that stood out to me were..

* the built in rebound bar and the smart lock belt system that is cleverly positioned under the seat in its own little compartment which I think is a great idea not only for safety but also comfort.

* The smart guide top tether routing system which makes it so much easier, comfortable and less awkward getting baby in and out of seat. Finally someone came up with a safe solution to this issue after all these years, thank you Maxi Cosi.

* The air vents are amazing and an excellent idea for keeping baby comfortable and help prevent baby overheating and sweating as they can tend to do quite quickly and easily in some seats.

* The Maxi Cosi Pria LX G-Cell would have to be the best car seat I have ever seen. It looks and feels super safe and comfortable and it feels so stable and secure and doesn’t move around like some seats can no matter what you do to install them. Maxi Cosi also have great installation videos to show how to correctly install the seat.

* Super easy hassle free harness and headrest adjustment, no rethreading straps or removing seat and in my opinion, superior to other seats that have this option. Great for ensuring correct fit each time you buckle your growing child in. This would also be the perfect option for those who may have different children that need to use the seat like for grandparents or daycare workers ect.

* The quality and comfort of the design, fabric, padding and the shell is amazing and has the backed approval of a fussy but now happy and content baby. Happy baby= happy Mummy and a more enjoyable car drive for all, with the addition of added piece of mind knowing you have chosen a quality, safe car seat for your baby.

* Maxi Cosi also have the best warranty for their car seats that double some other brands but I don’t think you would ever need it. I also have 2x 2019 Maxi Cosi Luna Pros and they still look and feel like new.

I absolutely love this car seat and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking to buy it, you will not be disappointed.

After trying so many different brands and car seats I now insist on Maxi Cosi, whether it be capsules, convertible car seats or booster seats it’s Maxi Cosi only for my children.

And last but not least the customer service is outstanding. Staff are super friendly, helpful, informative and seem to be happy to answer any questions you have.

Thank you Maxi Cosi (Dorel)

Great car seat - no tether strap manoeuvring is a big plus!! – After a painful 5 months in a capsule (which my baby hated), we upgraded to this car seat and it made a world of a difference! Pros of the car seat: - Baby is really comfortable, it has room to grow and we you can remove the newborn insert easily once your baby is big enough. - Cover is removable, which is a life saver for accidents. Easy… Read more ·  1

machine wash. - Looks quite nice compared to some other car seats. - On the smaller side - not a huge car seat (really only takes 1 spot). - The BEST part is the tether strap that is beautifully tucked away, meaning you can wrangle a wriggly baby in & out without having to worry about juggling the strap as well.

Cons: - Only one if I had to find one - putting the covers back on takes a bit of practice and it's hard to get it the same level of tightness. But that could be the case for all car seats (as I've only had this one). It's not a huge issue though so it doesn't even warrant losing any points for it. Baby is still comfortable.

Look forward to seeing it used – Bought the car seat for my niece. The baby is not due til Christmas. My niece had seen the seat at a baby expo and it stood out to her with all the features demonstrated to her at your display.Including lifting it in and out and compact enough to fit 3 seats on the back seat.

So easy to use and extra safety – After reviewing and trying many other brands the Maxi-Cosi was a step above them all. The ease of use with the smart guide makes getting your baby in and out of the car so simple. As well as the added safety of the gcell system. I have already purchased a second one for my other car and suggested it to family/friends who also now love it. Show details ·  1

Easiest car seat – Absolutely no regrets with purchasing this car seat, getting our bub in and out is so easy.

A game changer for toddler mums! – Highly recommend the Pria! After many months of research and back and forth on which car seat I was going to get after my bub was in a capsule, I'm so glad I went with Maxi-Cosi. The instruction manual is detailed enough that I felt confident installing it myself and also moving it between my and my partner's cars. There are even videos so you can… Read more ·  3

check those out throughout your installation. It is a great compact seat and fits great in my Tucson and my partner Triton Ute. The material is breathable bamboo and has been amazing in the Australian summer. Of course, my favourite feature is the Smart-Guide top tether, GAME CHANGER! It might seem like a small thing to do but wrangling my toddler in has never been easier! Once you try this seat I guarantee you'll never go back! I recommend it to all my mum friends. We have been using it for approx 6 months and I don't have any downsides yet!

Very good even with baby in a pavlik harness – The seat looks comfortable for my baby even with the pavlik harness (infant insert removed to make it work). Very glad I did not purchase a capsule as it would not have worked with the harness. We have removed and attached the seat multiple times between cars. Once you know how to do it the process is quick and easy (dual cab ute and suv cars). … Read more ·  1

4 stars because my baby doesn’t like car rides and possibly because the pavlik harness impacts comfort. Over all I would recommend this car seat for everyone.

High quality and game changer – I couldn’t be happier with our Pria G-Cell! It’s perfect for my newborn and now 7 months old, providing the utmost comfort and safety. My baby sleeps so good in it, which is a testament to how comfortable it is. One standout feature is the no-tether design on the side, which is a game changer for taking bub in and out. In my opinion, it’s the best car seat on the market. Highly recommended! Show details ·  1

Great compact car seat ! – Very impressed with the Pria so far ! It’s super compact but still comfortable and spacious for baby. Installation was very simple and the smart guide system makes getting baby in and out a breeze. I wish it came with isofix but hopefully this addition is something they bring out with the next model. Show details ·  1

Great car seat! Easy to get baby in and out! – Super functional and easy to use love the smart guide so that the tether is not in the way! This was one main reason why I purchased it and recommend it! It is also narrow so that it doesn’t take over other seats in the car! Love that it is rear and forward facing so baby can grow into it while maximising safety when they are little. Baby is happy and comfortable in it. Excellent customer service to answer any questions! Show details ·  1

Maxi cosi Pria lx gcell – Purchased the Maxi Cosy Pria LX GCell 6 months ago, the carseat itself is fantastic, I love the tether guide it's a great feature!

challenging. And after 2 washes I have noticed some pilling on the seat cover which is disappointing. I'd also like to note that the infant insert states to remove at 8kg but my 2 year old with the infant insert out had issues with the crotch buckle being to high. In this seat the crotch buckle isn't adjustable. But after a quick email we were assured that we were able to continue using the insert until it wasn't required anymore beyond 8kg.

Best seat - safe, comfortable and convenient – We were tossing up between this and another seat due to their high safety rating and compact size. We decided to spend the extra on this seat because of the smart tether and it has been the BEST decision, so much easier to get our baby in and out of the car. Can't fault this seat at all, it's worth paying that bit extra and we would recommend to anyone. Show details ·  1

Would buy again and again and again – Bub absolutely loves it, and so do I! Car journeys are a breeze, and my son falls asleep in it pretty much instantly.

clean, dry and but back on. The magnets at each side of the car seat wings help locking the harness in positon and out of the way. A nice bonus is that it's a little bit more compact than the competigion (e.g. Britax Safe and Sound) despite having more room for the baby. You can see that Maxi-Cosi put some thoughts in every espect of the seat. We purchased the car seat knowing that could work for both my wife's car (Kia Cerato) and my ute (Ford Ranger). We haven't been disappointed. Did I also mention that Maxi-Cosi provides full lifetime warranty and replacement of the car seat in case of accident?! That's piece of mind. If you want the best for your bub don't look anywhere else.
