As of September 2006, the use of safety belts in cars and approved child safety devices is mandatory for all children under 12 years old or less than 1.35 metres/4'5" in height for transport by car in the front and back seat. Every Maxi-Cosi car seat model--defined in the latest UN safety standard ECE R44.04--is specially designed for each age, as your child grows from birth to the age of 12.

• It is always the weight not the age of a child that dictates the choice of car seat.
• Do not buy or accept a second-hand car seat--you can never be certain of its full history and it may not provide adequate protection in an accident.

Why Choose the Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS?

Right Protection: The Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS features Side Protection System for extra safety in case of side impact in a collision.

Installation: The Priori SPS car seat should be used with an automatic 3-point safety belt provided that this has been approved according to ECE R16 or an equivalent standard.

Harness: The Priori SPS has a height-adjustable harness, which has a convenient one-pull adjustment. The clever crotch pad hook and harness hooks keep the harness out of the way when getting the child in or out of the car seat.

Recline: The Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS offers 4 recline positions for maximum comfort. Lift the handle under the front of the seat up and pull or push the shell forwards or backwards. Release the handle in the required position and push until you hear a distinct click.

Car Seat Cover: This car seat has an easily removable, washable seat cover. It is advisable to buy an extra cover when purchasing the Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS so that you can continue to use the car seat at all times, even when washing or drying the cover. Dress up the Priori SPS in cooler colours with a summer cover (sold separately).

Accessories: Accessories available (sold separately) for the Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS include summer cover, pocket (holder for drinks and bottles), play tray, and support pillow.

Installing the Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS

The Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS can be installed using the car's standard 3-point seat belt. Thread the seat belt following the routing guides on the seat. Once installed, push the Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System firmly into the car seat and pull the shoulder belt tight so that there is no play between the seat of the car and the Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS.

Secure the car seat harness--ensure you hear an audible 'click'

Ensure the shoulder belts are never twisted or damaged

Leave no more than 1 finger/1 cm gap between harness and child

Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS and Your Child--Safety Guidelines

Installation in a Car : The Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS is intended for car use only. The Maxi-Cosi Priori Side Protection System must only be used on a forward facing seat that is fitted with an automatic 3-point safety belt. Do not use with a 2-point safety belt.

Airbags: Never use the Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS on seats equipped with frontal airbags, as this can be extremely dangerous. This does not apply to 'side' airbags.

Use of Harness: Always secure your child with the harness belt. Before every use, make sure the harnesses are not damaged or twisted. Check that the shoulder belts fit properly over the shoulders of the child. Ensure you can fit no more than one finger between the harnesses and your child (1 cm).

Sun Exposure: Always cover the Maxi-Cosi Priori SPS when exposed to direct sunlight in the car to avoid the cover, metal and plastic parts from becoming too hot for your child's skin.

Next Stage Car Seats

Wait to switch your child to a next stage car seat when your child has reached the maximum weight limit or if the top of your child's head protrudes above the top edge of the seat. Recommended next-stage car seats include...
