I really like this product, it's great for quickly putting car seat in and out, especially handy when it's raining. It also reclines which I found really useful when my daughter was bigger.
The side slider plastic cover came off which was annoying, but didn't affect the safety of the product and I am planning to still use it for my second child - Strengths:

This isofix base is easy to fit and use in my car and the maxi cosy website is great for finding out which car seats and bases fit your car.
The only downside is that there is a loud rattle from the isofix base. I have been told by maxi cosy that this is normal so it’s more of an annoyance than anything. - Strengths:

This is an investment not to be missed. It make getting the car seat in and out of the car so much easier. The isofix base is very secure and also has a leveller to show if it is fitted correctly.

This is amazing and quick and easy don’t have to worry about the seat belt clips in, so easily too. My base has been used through the family and we have all found it so much easier to use and more convenient. The only down side to this item is it quite a squeeze with a two
Door car but still so much easier then a seat belt! - Strengths:

Our family fix base has seen us through the first year of our babies life in her baby car seat and now as she’s going into her bigger car seat. Easy to operate and super safe- I am glad we brought this! Makes getting in and out of the car so much easier than having to strap and unstrap each time with the seat belt! - Strengths:

I loved using this product as it's really convenient and takes the hassle away from always adjusting seatbelts. It's got a lighting system which is great to let you know of installed correctly and stays in place when on the move. Car seat clicks into place so you know it's seating correctly. I will definitely be using it again when my baby arrives. - Strengths:

I bought this iso fix base to use with my Maxi Cosi car seat. I was reccomended to use this as it is very safe for baby. Although it is expensive I believe it is worth the money as safety for my baby in the car is very important. It was very easy to set up in the car and then very easy to place the car seat on top of it as it clicked quickly in to place. The car seat feels very safe and secure on top of the iso fix base. The base also has 3 handy lights on it to let you know if it set up correctly or not and if it is not then you know you need to fiddle with it a bit before it is secure. It will also beep at you to let you know it is safe. A disadvantage to this seat is that it is quite expensive and when your child reaches the age of 4 and you get a different type of car seat if you wish to carry on using an iso fix base you will need to buy a different one as this one wouldn’t fit. Overall I am very happy with the purchase, I think it is worth the money and I would recommend it to others. - Strengths:

I purchased this for my daughter to make getting her in and out the car easier it takes less than 2 seconds to attach and detach the car seat onto the iso fix, this is amazing especially if you have older children and need to make getting in and out the car as quick and easy as possible, I’d definitely recommend to all parents or parents to be, it’s definitely worth the money as the next stage car seat clicks right in as well not just the new born car seats like most other isofixs - Strengths:

I have used this base for my 3 children and childminding children too. It’s so easy to fit, going from my car to grandparents cars is simple and not stressful either - it’s lovely knowing that they are safely in a car and not worrying about seat belts etc as it is literally just a click. The sound and makes sure you know they are in properly and the base is fitted perfectly. If it isn’t it keeps beeping.
I thought it was expensive to be honest but now Havering so much use out of it and even just the peace of mind it is well worth it.
Absolute must have! - Strengths:

When choosing this base i wanted it to be used enough for when the child gets old enough. They have lights and sound indications to let you know if the car seat is connected correctly. It will bring up all 3 lights when connected. So if baby was asleep i wouldn't have to shake it to make sure its connected i would hear the noise and lights. Its very re assuring and peace of mind. - Strengths:

Fabulous piece of safety equipment. I like the audible alarm to let me know the bar has moved and it isn’t 100% safe. Although can be tricky getting it perfect and to stop alarming. The seat (I have a pebble
With it) can catch when removing it from the base which can be annoying if it wakes little one up. There seems to be a knack to getting it in easily too but once mastered its super easy.
I like he peace of mind I get from it knowing that if there’s an issue mid journey it will alert me - Strengths:

I think this is probably the best product we have bought for our baby boy. The baby is so secure in the car and it is so easy to use...just slot the car seat in (make sure you hear a beep) and you are good to go. No messing about with seatbelts. We weren't sure about getting a base as they can be pricey but they are totally worth it! We were actually involved in a car accident (the baby was unharmed) the day after we purchased the isofix base and were told by the ambulance that came to the scene that the situation would have been different if the seat was strapped in with a seatbelt. I feel like it was luck that the accident happened the day after the purchase and not before. I would definitely recommend to all of my mummy and daddy's friends and family members! - Strengths:

For someone who has a 3 door car and recovering from a C-section this base is a lifesaver as I can just click the car seat in rather than climb in to fasten the seatbelt around the seat. - Strengths:

Love this. Makes me feel at complete ease that my child is locked into the car seat securely. Easy to grab the car seat in and out. Love that it makes a noise if there is an error ie we went over a large bump once and the base got knocked. It made a sound so we were able to pull over and fix it. - Strengths:

Really easy product makes using car seat easy to put on and take off especially when the baby is asleep.

Also this can be used for the next car seat also so is worth the price - Strengths:

I find using isofix a lot easier than buckling the car seat in and out. You can easily ift the car seat on and of the frame which is great. Only issue is I struggled to put it in my car and don't want to move it as I struggle to also get it out and fit into someone else car. Once fixed in it can seem a little lose when clipping car seat on and of. - Strengths:

Great base, easy to fit and to take in and out. My car did not come with isofix fittings, but really easy to add the isofix bar so you can use this.
Love the fact that my car seat pops straight in and alarms tell me straight away if I have not clicked in properly.

As first time parents. Purchasing big items such as car seats, is quite daunting. We purchased the maxi cosi isofix for several reasons: Though pricey, it has longevity, lasting for the first 4 years of a child’s life. The light system gives assurance that baby is safe. The maxi cosi car seat (we bought the pebble) is sturdy and comfortable. The only negative for me, is i find it a little tricky to get the car seat out and with the added weight of the car seat plus baby. My husband doesn’t have any trouble so maybe I am just a wimp?! I would highly recommend - Strengths:
