Want to know what makes our car seats so unique?
Check out our top 5 car seat innovations that have shaped the past 20 years here at Maxi-Cosi South Africa!
1. Maxi-Cosi ISOFIX base units
An Isofix base unit simplifies and enhances the safety of installing a child car seat. Designed to attach securely to your car’s ISOFIX anchor points (two metal loops typically located in the rear seats), it ensures a correct and tight fit every time by simply clicking the car seat onto the installed base.
Benefits of Using an Isofix Base:
Easy installation: Eliminates the struggle with seat belts.
Increased safety: Ensures correct installation.
Convenience: Allows quick removal of the car seat without needing to reinstall the base.
The FamilyFix 360 Pro base is i-Size compliant and features the ingenious SlideTech™ mechanism whilst ensuring the highest safety standards for your precious cargo. It also boasts a 360° rotating platform, allowing you to easily switch your child from rear-facing to forward-facing with just one hand.
2. Maxi-Cosi G-Cell technology
We’ve developed G-Cell technology to protect your child during side-impact collisions. Inspired by natural hexagonal structures like a bee’s honeycomb, G-Cell uses unique hexagonal cells in the car seat’s side panels to act like a car’s crumple zone. This design diverts impact forces away from your child’s body, providing superior protection.
Our patented G-Cell technology is integrated into the shoulder area of the car seat, enhancing strength and flexibility. You’ll find this innovative feature in several of our models, including the Pearl 360 Pro (from birth to 4 years) and the Titan Pro car seat (suitable from nine months to 12 years).
3. Maxi-Cosi AirProtect® technology
Our patented AirProtect® technology reduces the risk of head injury by as much as 20%! In a crash AirProtect® diverts the force of the impact away from your little one’s head, absorbing them into the headrest. This instantaneously reduces the risk of head injury and protects your child.
Our Maxi-Cosi RodiFix Pro i-Size offers advanced side-impact headrest protection with patented AirProtect® technology. This seat fits any car with ISOFIX and is securely attached using the car’s seat belt and ISOFIX connectors. Maxi-Cosi prioritizes safety, with external crash tests confirming the RodiFix Pro i-Size’s effectiveness.
4. Maxi-Cosi Rotating car seats
We’ve developed rotating car seats like Mica, allowing your child to travel rearward-facing until age four, meeting the latest i-Size regulation. The Maxi-Cosi Mica 360 Pro offers best-in-class comfort from 0-4 years old, SlideTech® technology, five comfortable recline positions and an easy-in harness. It also boasts a 360° rotating platform, allowing you to easily switch your child from rear-facing to forward-facing with just one hand.
Rearward-facing travel offers superior protection for your baby’s delicate neck and head by spreading impact forces in a collision. If safety, convenience, and quick preparation are priorities, consider a rotating i-Size car seat.
Maxi-Cosi rotating car seats can be turned to face you, making it easy to put your child in, buckle up, and go. While most car seats are rearward-facing for little ones between 15 months and 2 years of age, some i-Size car seats exceed these standards, letting your growing child travel rear-facing for even longer, providing extra safety and confidence.
5. SlideTech™ Technology
Maxi-Cosi’s SlideTech™ technology is a groundbreaking innovation in car seat design, making journeys with your little one easier, safer, and less stressful.
With SlideTech™, you can effortlessly slide your child’s car seat towards you, creating a spacious and comfortable area to buckle them up properly—no more awkward positions or head bumps! This technology eliminates the struggle.
Here’s how it works: the Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix 360 Pro base features a built-in sliding mechanism. Simply rotate the car seat 90 degrees to face your child, then pull the seat towards you. This ingenious function provides ample legroom and a clear view, making buckling up your child stress-free.
The SlideTech™ experience extends to the 360 Pro Family, including the FamilyFix 360 Pro Base, Pebble 360 Pro Infant Car Seat, Pearl 360 Pro Toddler Car Seat, and the new Mica 360 Pro Car Seat.
