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 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 s...Read more
eat, 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.
Purchased in January 2021 at Baby & Toddler Town for $459.00.

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.

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.
Purchased in December 2021 at Baby Bunting Online store for $468.00.

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!

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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. 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 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.

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 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 p...Read more
urchase 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!Similar opinion?

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 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.

Questions & Answers

Hi
In reverse position the tether strap appears to be facing the wrong way at the buckle (where you tighten it), as in, it is facing towards the seat instead of out and towards you. Should this be the case? I saw a video on youtube and it was as how it should be (facing towards you).
p.s. There are no tangles in the strap, it is all straight from the seat, up to the tether bolt, and back to the seat.
Thanks

Hi Dan,
Yes you are right about the buckle facing towards the seat in rearward facing position. I too noticed this with our seat and called Dorel who confirmed that is how it is. Slightly hard to get your finger underneath, but can't do anything about it.
