I 100% recommend this product. Yes it might seem expensive but it is so easy to use, offers a fantastic green and red light safety system so you are in no doubt if it’s attached properly to the isofix points and it
Grows with your child. I purchased initially with the maxi cost pebble. - Strengths:

Very pleased with this purchase. Very quick and easy to take my son in and out of the car. Literally click them in and out. I think the noise notification is a great idea as it informs you that everything is safely and securely locked in correctly. While driving I have the upmost reassurance that my son is safe in car seat.
First time installing it into my car it was a little temperamental trying to get it attached to my seat but once in, it is so safe and so convenient. However I do not think I would move from car to car, I did once and had little difficulty trying to put back in quickly and it is heavy so remains in one car.
Would definitely purchase again. With my first child I didn’t have one and with my second decided to get one. If I compare the experience, you save a lot of time with this product and it is very quick and convenient to attach and be on the go. Definitely recommend and very good purchase 100% ! ? - Strengths:

This is fantastic !! Without this item it made getting my LG in and out of the car very difficult. I had a c section and bending over to plug the seat belt on just wasn’t working. I found the base online and installation was so easy. No more bending or stretching. Helped my c section wound heal quicker. And even better when it’s raining it’s so quick and easy to put the baby seat in and out - Strengths:

Without a doubt, using this has saved so much time. Simply click in place or remove without the aggravation of fiddling around with a seatbelt.
A little temperamental at times with positioning but a minor issue.
Overall, definitely a product worth having!

This base is excellent. I always thought that I wouldn’t need a base but after using one it has made life so much easier.
It is very simple to use and you know that the seat is installed correctly by the lights and beep. It is expensive but in my opinion worth it. - Strengths:

Amazing, the best thing I did, the lights and beeps were very useful and reassuring to know it was all in correctly before setting off on journey. Very easy to slot car seat into, I had a 3 door car so it made trips out much easier. Would definitely recommend - Strengths:

I’m really impressed with the maxi cosy isofix. I was debating about whether to get one. After all, they aren’t the cheapest purchase! But I would be willing to pay double what I did just to save the time that I have done/ will do,
The thought of having to buckle the car seat in repeatedly makes the investment so worthwhile! Just a quick click and beep to reassure you the car seat is fixed and you’re away! Would 100% recommend to any new mums - Strengths:

It is pricey... but can you put a price on your child’s safety?
It’s so easy to use. Baby popped in place in seconds. The beep notification is great, as if another person puts your child in the car, they know it is right as soon As the sound goes off. Never a chance of it not being on incorrectly with the beep. I have one for both my cars because the convenience of fast easy lock down is worth the money.
Also my 2nd car is small in the back and only a 3 seater, so trying to faff on with the seat belt is a no go - Strengths:

<p>I purchased this base to go with a <a href="https://www.consobaby.co.uk/pearl-car-seat-maxi-cosi.html">maxi cosi pearl group 1 car seat</a>. I didn't realise I wouldn't be able to position it as rear facing but this is the only down side. Its stable, secure, reclinable, not too heavy and easy to install.</p> - Strengths:

So quick to clip little one in and out in seat without messing around with seatbelts. 3 green lights Baby is safely in car and ready to go. Easy to unclip the the only downside if if you need the seat space you have to take out other than that can’t fault it and can’t live without it! - Strengths:

This base makes life much easier. It is no longer necessary to spend time fiddling around with car seat belts. With just one click, the car seat slots in and with the safety feature where one hears a sound and sees lights turn on, one can ensure that the seat has clicked into place correctly. Another good feature is that the base can easily be removed if it needs to be used in different cars. - Strengths:

This base saves me so much time putting my baby into and getting her out of the car. I love that I don’t need to faff with seat belts. It can be really easy to fit, depending on your car. One of mine it goes in without any problems, the other one I have to have a fight with it. Although, I love the fact that it can go into so many different types of car. It’s very easy to use once it’s been fitted into place. However, it can take up a lot of room in the car, from space in the back seats to having to move the front seat quite far forward. Although saying that, I don’t mind as it keeps my daughter safe! - Strengths:

I chose this isofix base purely because I would be able to use it from birth through to age 4. For this reason it’s incredible value for money.
I find the yellow extendable isofix clips to be very stiff, so when I have had to move it I’ve found it a little difficult other than that, the concept of being able to use two different age seats on it is great I love that the seats can be slid up and down for better comfort if baby falls asleep, it’s very easy to do.
Overall a brilliant product. - Strengths:

We bought this product originally 6 years ago for our daughter and to probe the quality of the product we are using it agan for our 6 week old baby. It is so much handler having an isofix instead of straping the car seat in every time.
Friends have commented on how simple it is to use.
We are extremely happy with this product. - Strengths:

I love this base ! It’s so easy to install and use and is safe which is the ultimate number one for a car seat base ! I prefer isofix bases and car seats to seat belted ones as I feel they are safer and stronger . It’s really easy to install and use and the handy 3 green lights make it easy for anyone whether confident in using them or not as it tells you when it’s correctly installed and the lights won’t turn green and will beep if it’s not . I love this base the only down side to it is that’s its quite heavy but if your just installing it and leaving it in the car this doesn’t really matter all in all I would highly recommend this base . - Strengths:

Love my isofix could get my then baby who is now 4 years old in and out of the car with ease. I will not hesitate to use it again with my new baby due very soon as it is a time saver no faffing about with a seat belt just simply click in click out. - Strengths:
