Excellent
Own two of this now. Planning to buy a 3rd one.
Pricey but very safe and comfortable.
Easily adjustable head height to suit 1.5 and 3.5yo.
Like the pouch at the front. I store socks and snacks there!
Found the bottle holder a little small and won't fit standard kids drink bottle.
Purchased in December 2019 at Baby Bunting Physical store for $446.00.

Quality car seat that will last years
I purchased this Britax car seat for my 1 year old. The fabric is soft and seat is comfortable. My son is very happy, it fits him well. The only thing is it is not ISOFIX compatible. Otherwise, happy with it. High recommend it.

Safe and comfortable
Love this car seat.
Safety rating is fantastic and our little guy always seems really comfortable.
Its easy to install and remove.
It is also one of the better looking car seats on the market.
It is quite large so if you had small car it may be a bit squishy but over all we love it.

Great car seat.
Easy to adjust, easy to get in and out of car.

Amazing seat but I think the age should be 2 years - 8 years not 6 months - 8 years.
PROS:
- Not too hard to install.
- Daughter seems comfortable.
- Beautiful gender neutral seat design.
- Has cup holders.
- Can recline (we have ours in the recline position and haven't had any issues with her head flopping forward or anything like that while she sleeps).
- LOVE that the age goes until 8 years or when the child meets the marker, big reason why we bought this seat as I think it's great value for money.
CONS:
- Only sits properly/safely in the middle seat of our back seat due to recline bar the bar under the back....

Perfect car seat
Love this car seat - safe, easy to get in / out of & adjustable. We initially bought for our large frame son before he transitioned to a booster. Now we have our polar opposite tiny framed daughter in it & perfectly adjustable to suit both their needs! Highly recommend.

Perfect carseat
My 2 year old is very comfortable in this seat, especially when I look at how u comfortable he is in a different seat he uses in a backup car. We don't remove the seat often but my husband had no difficulty installing it. It is well padded without causing overheating, and the straps are so smooth to tighten and loosen. It also comes with an inbuilt cupholder on the side

My daughter and I love this seat
So comfortable easy to install and protects my girl from getting hurt in a accident. I had the normal maxi guard beforehand and I was in a accident we were rear ended and my daughter didn't budge she was unhurt and fine she done good and the seat done its job and I got my replacement :)

Great car seat
Beautifully made seat that my toddler loves. He is really comfortable and the cup holders aren’t too far for him to reach. The shoulder pads won’t seem to stay in place and slide down constantly but that’s my only complaint. I had to buy it to replace a seat that didn’t have the right connections to be fitted in my Navara.

Absolutely recommend this car seat
This car seat is amazing and when my children fall asleep their head never drops forward! They are extremely comfortable and love car trips in this seat.
I am yet to remove the seat so I’m unsure how easy it is to do so and swap it over to a different car but we will be buying more to keep in my husbands car.
The quality is excellent and they look great also.
Absolutely recommend!!!

Another great Britax car seat
Upgraded from the Britax Millenia seat for 2.5yearold toddler and very happy with this Britax product. It is expensive but feel you get quality in for of safety and comfort.
It could be improved by including isofix connections to the car instead of use of the seatbelt.

My daughter loves her new seat could have used a quick install guide and child proofing on the release
We chose a Britax seat as we have used them for all our previous car seats and have been very happy with them so far. I think in the long run this seat will serve us as well as the baby capsule and rear facing under 4yo seat that is now being used by our next child.
Having only installed ISOFIX seats up until this point it was a bit of a shock to find out that under Australian Law ISOFIX is not allowed in car seats that go above the age of 4yo!
I gave it a 4 rather than a 5 because I felt the manual was a little over complicated and could hav...
Read moree used a 5 bullet point quick install guide with tips like don't pull belt before threading as it will cause it to lock repeatedly resulting in swearing! The chair it self seems good and my daughter loves it. Unfortunately she has already figured out how to release her belt - Some kind of anti-child tamper would be really helpful on this as she is only 2.5yo and is struggling to understand why on a long journey she shouldn't release herself and join daddy in the front of the car! That said I don't know what the laws on such things state. We did not buy this one originally as the recommendation is that children under the age of 2yo should be rear facing however the law only requires it for under 6 months and our other Britax seat will go both ways around but only up to the age of 4yo.Purchased in July 2019 at Babyco Online store for $449.00.

Amazing car seat
I upgraded my sons car seat and I think it’s amazing . My son is so much more comfortable!
He loves the holders and arm rests. Even though the price may put some people off its worth every penny . I have found it easier to lift the arm rests when getting him in and out of the car . It is so roomy. Highly recommended

Safe, comfortable and breathable
This seat is easy to use, positions our daughter well, and fabric is easy to clean. Also enables two adult passengers to sit alongside in our new VW Tiguan when required. Our daughter is well supported when she falls asleep in the car (head does not drop as it has in another seat), and the straps are very easy to adjust when we are ready to.

Worth the money
This is my third Britax seat and I love it. Puts my toddler in a great position.
Only down side is the harness is hard to make it secure enough that a toddler can’t gets arms out of compared to the Platinum pro. And the cup holders are narrow.
Easy enough to install and clean.
I will only ever use Britax.

Annaasked
Hi there, can the maxi guard pro convert to a booster seat using the cars seatbelt as restraint rather than the 5 point harness? My son is starting school and can’t unlock or do up the 5 point harness by himself. Yet when I pick him up to be in the car line he needs to be able to get himself in and out of the car. Thank you
1 answer
Support C.Britax Safe-n-Sound
Hi Anna, thanks for your question. The Safe-n-Sound Maxi Guard Pro is a harnessed forward facing car seat, and not a convertible booster therefore, the 5 point harness cannot be removed. Kind regards, the Britax Childcare team.
Melasked
I’m just wondering what is the difference between the Maxi Guard Pro and the Maxi Guard please?
1 answer
Support C.Britax Safe-n-Sound
Hi Mel, thanks for your question. The main difference is the Maxi Guard Pro has SICT in the head and torso section, comes with cup holders and has the thermo 5 bamboo fabric. The Maxi Guard has AHR in the head rest however does not have the same features as the Maxi Guard Pro. If you have any further questions, please feel free to email au-support@britax.com
Kind regards, the Brotax Childcare team.
Details
Features:
Britax's Safe-n-Sound Maxi Guard PRO is a sturdy, and much loved, forward-facing baby car seat and a member of the trusted Britax Maxi family - with over 97% giving the product a 4 or 5 star rating.
Britax claims that the product can safely be used on children from the ages of 6 months to 8 years, but it is always safer to keep your baby in a rear-facing seat for as long as possible before transitioning to a forward-facing one.
For those concerned with the safety rating of their products, look no further. The Maxi Guard PRO ranks 4.9 in build quality, is durable, cushioned and well-protected on all sides with a dual layer Head and Torso Side Impact Cushion Technology™ (SICT™).
Thermo5® high-performance fabric with Bamboo Charcoal ensures that your child is kept comfortable in all weather conditions - along with 2 reclining positions to suit your sleeping toddler.
A 6 point Hassle Free Harness™ is a key feature which keeps your child securely restrained at all times. Along with the head rest, both features are adjustable to suit a growing child.
Practicality is a strong suit, offering ample storage space, cup holders and a full length messy mat.
Reviewers especially love:
- The security of the well-designed safety features of the Maxi Guard PRO provides much needed protection and peace-of-mind for concerned parents
- How comfortable the seat is for their little ones
- The ease of installation shown through a physical manual and a YouTube video
- Easily cleanable
- Adjustable headrests & harnesses to support your child as they grow
- Pouch at front to store snacks, toys & other goodies
- The design is sleek, gender neutral and modern
- The brilliant value for money since this product can be used for 7 and a half years until your child is 8 years old!
Things to consider:
- The product is on the larger side and can take up space in the back sets which may not be suitable if you have a small vehicle or multiple baby car seats in one car
- The price is in the mid to high range
- Forward-facing only and not suitable for children under the age of 6 months and not recommended until your child outgrows rear-facing seats
- Not ISOFIX compatible and will require a manual seat belt installation
