0.799 -> So we wanted to do a review for you today.
3.179 -> Maxi Cosi has added a new car seat to the
family.
6.05 -> This is the Maxi Cosi Pria 85 Max and they
added some awesome improvements from their
10.22 -> other Pria models, so lets get into it and
see what those are.
16.4 -> So obviously safety is most important when
considering which carseat to get.
20.72 -> So we're gonna dive into those features first.
23.2 -> The Pria 85 Max features a flex tech construction
in the frame.
28.94 -> And basically what that means is that it offers
flexible and rigid parts to accommodate
33.64 -> different kinds of car impacts.
35.69 -> Now I'm not an engineer so I don't know exactly
how this works but it does seem effective
39.85 -> in a car accident.
41.48 -> They also pass the proposed but not required
side-impact testing from NHTSA.
47.25 -> Now that's the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, I know that's a mouthful but
52.64 -> I like to see when brands are going above
and beyond the basic standard of safety.
56.98 -> They also pass the EU roll over testing and
that's actually true in all Pria models so
61.719 -> that's awesome that they offer than in all
of them.
64.07 -> Now they also have in this one the ever so
popular air protect technology.
68.55 -> And that's gonna be in both head rests adding
increased side-impact protection where you
73.08 -> want it most, by the head.
74.92 -> So they have some awesome features to make
this car seat just a little bit safer.
81.65 -> Now this car seat offers the highest weight
limit range on the market, it's the only convertible
86.47 -> car seat that you can use from 5 to 85 lbs.
89.53 -> Now for rear facing it's 5 to 40 lbs and forward
facing you can use it from 22 to 85.
94.93 -> And the way that they can do that is with
your infant wedge.
101.03 -> And this you have to use from 5-11 lbs and
then up to 15 lbs is optional, but then you
106.81 -> do need to take it out.
108.28 -> They also have the support pillow in here,
this is always optional until you get to forward
113 -> facing and it's just a comfort feature to
make your baby more comfortable.
116.98 -> So it's awesome that you can use this car
seat longer than any other car seat on the market
123.43 -> Ok so here's my favorite part, they added
some features that make it more convenient
126.78 -> for parents.
127.78 -> And lets be honest as parents we want things
to be easier and less frustrating.
131.04 -> So they added their clip quick chest clip
which is really cool.
134.59 -> It's hard to do as a child so those tricky
little fingers that always get their buckles
139.5 -> undone their not going to be able to do that
with this.
150.2 -> Remember my, my mom and dad can't, my mom
and dad can do it cause only I can't do it
157.52 -> because cause I'm a kid.
160.14 -> To get it undone you just squeeze and slide.
163.2 -> One handed it's very easy, it's also easy
to do if you just line it up it's going to
168.47 -> connect.
169.47 -> And that's gonna make it easier to secure
your child in there.
171.62 -> What they also offer is on the crotch buckle
they have a flip back motion and what this
178.55 -> is gonna do is keep this buckle out of the
way so it's not getting tucked in under your
182.94 -> baby's bum when you're trying to get it connected.
185.75 -> So I love that feature as well.
188.23 -> They also offer these side clips.
192.99 -> And what these are gonna do is keep your buckle
out of the way when buckling in your child.
198.12 -> So when their out of the way you can put your
child in without having to fumble with buckles.
202.34 -> So all these features together just gonna
make it easier to secure your child in their
seat.
207.36 ->
209 -> Now Maxi Cosi is known for their awesome fabrics.
211.72 -> All of their covers are machine washable and
dryer safe.
214.77 -> Which is awesome.
216.53 -> Parenting is a messy job and car seats are
no exception.
219.86 -> So it's nice when it's easy to clean.
221.99 -> Now they offer premium fabrics in the nomad
collection which I love this is the nomad
226.201 -> blue it feels awesome it's beautiful, trust
me it looks much better in person.
231.33 -> One of the awesome things though is that you
don't have to uninstall the seat to get the
236.32 -> cover off.
237.32 -> And trust me, I tried it yesterday and it
was much easier than I expected.
240.97 -> It has buttons here that you'll just detach,
throw it in the wash and put it back on and
245.18 -> it wasn't difficult to put it back on, it's
very intuitive.
248.43 -> So I love that they make it easy to keep your
job clean.
254.069 -> Now Maxi Cosi is a premium European brand,
but it's manufactured in the US which is awesome.
260.069 -> That means for customers, you get more use
out of your car seat, you don't have to wait
264.229 -> for it to ship overseas where it's using up
some of your expiration date.
268.02 -> So it's awesome that you get to use your car
seat longer.
273.62 -> Now if you have any questions, I am a CPS
certified tech which is really just a fancy
277.96 -> way of saying I know how to install a lot
of different car seats in a lot of different
281.349 -> vehicles.
282.37 -> So feel free to leave your comments below
email us at [email protected] or if you're
287.43 -> local, drop in and we can check out your installation
in person.
290.49 -> Now if you have more questions on how to use
this car seat check our how-to video where
295.14 -> we go more in depth on how to use these features.
301.12 -> Ok all in all, here's my review of the seat
I still have yet to find the perfect car seat
306.26 -> and I've been in the industry for a long time
and I feel like every seat has it's drawbacks.
310.499 -> So here's some to consider with the Pria 85
Max.
313.699 -> Now their latch system is not integrated which
means you have to feed these connectors through
318.65 -> the correct belt path in the correct direction.
321.589 -> Now that just leaves room for mis-installation.
325.43 -> It does take a little bit of education so
you can check out our how-tos to figure out
328.569 -> how to do that.
330.289 -> So it does take some education with that one.
332.65 -> Now the level adjuster is located in the back.
335.87 -> Which its easy to access if you're rear facing
however I like to be able to have that option
340.9 -> to recline when it'd forward facing for things
like road trips and naps so it's not super
346.379 -> convenient.
347.379 -> Now on Maxi Cosi they don't have lock offs
in the car seat, so you have to use the seat
351.659 -> belt in your car, for me that's not a huge
issue because I typically install my car seats
356.629 -> using the seatbelt, but for some people they
like to have that option of locking it off
361.089 -> in the car.
362.089 -> Now most of these cons are really preferential
so it really depends on how you like to install
366.379 -> your carseat or how you like to use it.
369.96 -> Now the things that we absolutely love about
this car seat are obviously the conveniences
374.629 -> for parents.
375.629 -> I love the clip-quick technology, I love the
handy harness holders, that keep your buckle
380.05 -> out of the way and I love the flip out buckle.
383.05 -> We also LOVE these fabrics they're beautiful,
easy to take care of they're easy to keep
388.26 -> clean and that just makes parenting easier.
393.969 -> So this car seat retails for $349.99 this
is the Nomad Blue color and it's also offered
399.21 -> in Nomad green which is a pretty sage so check
that out.
402.249 -> You can purchase online at babycubby.com.
404.74 -> Thanks for watching our video if you enjoyed
it, give us a like or subscribe to our Youtube
