    This product has, in my eyes, been the creme de la creme of first stage car seats since i became a mum 13 years ago. I have always used this brand and its always stood me in good stead. Practical, safe and with sun canopy and newborn insert attached, it has all the essentials every new mum (and baby) needs. The sun canopy is quite poorly designed, simply pulling out from the hard plastic back and attaching to 2 little nodules on the handle. This being said, its hard to fault this product.

    Having used Maxi-Cosi in the past with my older children and by their reputation, i know they are a good brand. We decided this time we wanted to buy the cabriofix as it wasn't too expensive but the quality would be there. The car seat itself is sturdy and strong. My 8 month old still fits comfortably in her seat. The head hugger and back support are brilliant when baby is newborn and adds comfort. As she got bigger we removed the head hugger and support and she had lots more room. The only real downside to the cabriofix is the back compartment that holds the instructions keeps popping open although it doesn't affect the use of the product. Its a light weight seat and looks smart and there was a lovely range of colours and designs for us to choose from.

    I've been using this car seat for 8 weeks now and it's so easy to use. I'm using with the easy fix isofix base at the moment which makes it even easier. I have tried using with just the seatbelt and it's really simple to put in. The only down side is getting the cover off to wash!

    Great car set
    Easy to fit onto isofix, and easy to put baby into. Baby looks comfortable has head support
    Becomes heavy when baby older, could maybe do with one button to release handle bar as very difficult with 2 if in car and want to put down.
    Little extension nearly £200 for seat and isofix for 9 months.

    The most easy and Comfortable car to use with or without the isofix base.
    Goes in and out the car easy.
    Fits lovely on most pushchairs.
    Cover is easy to remove and washes up lovely and the padding for the newborn can easily be removed.
    My newborn looked so comfortable in this car seat with the padding that comes with it.
    The hood is great how it clips on and can be folded away when not needed, also can be easily removed to be washed.
  • 4.50/5

    We used this with a hire car. It was easy to install, we used it with a seat belt. But you can use it with an isofix. You can also get adapters so it connects onto a number of different pram travel units. You have to put the baby into the car seat before attaching the seat belts to secure the seat into the car. This worked fine for us but could be frustrating. The one negative was that the hood slipped off onto my sons face while driving so we had to pull over. The carry handle is easy to click up and down. The straps are easy to buckle and adjust. My son appeared comfortable in the seat. So I would recommend it.

    Absolutely fantastic car seat, so simple to use with everything literally one click of a button away. Attaches so easily onto the travel system frame, and pops off with just the press of a button. The interior has lots of padding and support for added comfort.

    Had to buy a second car seat for my Tiny car. This fits perfectly and it’s light so easy to use. Can be made to attach to our pram which is a bonus. Baby find it really comfy and sits nicely in it. It had a head cushion which snuggles them in. It’s quite small and I don’t know how long it will work for us. Reasonably priced as well.

    Overall very good product. Easy to use without ISOFIX base. The only disadvantage I noticed is plastic part on the back is easy to get broken when the seatbelts are tight (the part where you hide the sun shade fabric). Fits to most travel systems.

    This car seat comes with a new born insert which is easily removable once the child becomes too big for it. The seat itself is very comfortable for the baby and it is light and easy to carry. The car seat can also be used with the ISO Fix base which helps to install into the car.

    This is a good size seat, easy to install into the car (we just use the seatbelt & it’s very sturdy when plugged in) baby seems very comfy as always falls asleep on journeys. This heatwave though isn’t so great as it seems a very warm fabric so have quite a sweaty baby.
    Very universal if wanting to connect onto the pram base, I’ve had it on 2 different brand of buggy (same seat for both children) and easy to find the adaptors and easy to get on and off.
    Good seat and easy to carry with baby in.

Description

The lightweight Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix infant carrier is suitable from birth to 13 kg and is compatible with Maxi-Cosi and Quinny pushchairs to form the perfect travel system.

This car seat features enhanced Side Protection System and a soft chushioned seat with newborn seat reducer.

Practical belt hooks will assist in keeping the harness out of your way when placing your child in the seat. A one-pull harness adjustment ensures that it is set at the right tension. As your baby grows, the harness and headhugger can be altered so that it is always positioned correctly.

The CabrioFix installation is very easy with Maxi-Cosi's range of click-and-go base units or it can also be installed using the car's three-point seat belt.

When used in conjunction with Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix Base a light and sound indicator will notify you of its correct installation.

The car seat can also be adjusted into a unique upward position so older babies have more legroom. As a result, you can use the seat for longer in the rearward facing position which is the safest way for younger children to travel.

This car seat has been designed with your little one's comfort in mind: it is supplied with a headhugger, newborn seat reducer, chest and buckle pad and an integrated sun canopy. It also features an extra comfortable ergonomic carrying handle to make it easier for you to transport.

Features:

  • Compatible with Maxi-Cosi & Quinny pushchairs to form a travel system
  • Easy installation in combination with Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix Base, EasyFix Base, EasyBase 2 or a 3-point seat belt
  • Side Protection System offers optimal protection against side impact
  • Practical belt hooks help keep the harness out of the way
  • Ergonomic carrying handle
  • One-pull harness system for adjusting the harness length
  • Also compatible with Maxi-Cosi 2wayFix Base
  • Includes with 3-point safety harness, newborn seat reducer, harness pads & hooks, removable soft headhugger and integrated sun canopy
  • ECE R44/04 approved
