This seat has the lowest score for ease-of-use in our tests and is a little more difficult to install than a lot of competitors. The chest clip is an enormous button with an oval shape that requires a lot of strength to remove. We also found it hard to find the belt route because it is hidden under the cupholders. The Pria only has five height settings for the belt which is disappointing compared to other models.
The iSize base has the AGR seal, which means that it is back-friendly, and allows you to install the car seat without having to bend over to reach the anchor points. This makes it one the most ideal bases for baby car seats for back support.
You can make use of the 2wayFix or FamilyFix base with any Maxi-Cosi in the group 0+ car seat that includes convertible toddler seats. These two sturdy ISOFIX bases let you use your car seat forward-facing until your child reaches the age of 4. The tether on this seat is routed through the headrest, which means you can use it after your child is 4. We suggest taking off any slack on the tether in the back of the vehicle seat, and then threading it through the attachment for the tether on the iSize base. This will stop the tether from getting stuck on anything that could be pulled off.
