Maxi-Cosi Pria Max review

The Pria Max is a good fit for parents who buckle a child in many times a day and want it to be quick. The ClipQuik magnetic chest clip opens with one hand, and spring-assisted Out-of-the-Way holders keep the harness straps open while you lift your child in. Maxi-Cosi lists three modes: rear-facing from 5 to 40 lbs, forward-facing from 30 to 65 lbs and a belt-positioning high back booster from 40 to 100 lbs. QuikFit raises the headrest and harness together with one hand, and 1-click LATCH connectors handle installation. The PureCosi fabric is made without added fire-retardant treatments and the fabrics are machine-washable and dryer-safe. It is approved for aircraft use. Compared with the Graco 4Ever DLX it has fewer recline and headrest positions, the same 40 lb rear-facing limit and a lower booster limit, and it costs more than the Graco's current sale price.
