80

Was looking at buying another car seat for the grandparents car and came across this Maxi Cosi seat on clearance across multiple different baby stores as Maxi Cosi have replaced this model with a "slim" version with the same features at full rrp.

Toys R Us were the cheapest however only have the sparkle grey colour, I was able to get Baby Bunting to price match without issue as they had other colour choices.

    ToyRus price match baby baunting

    Please let us know where these stores are, I need a car seat too.

    • Have a look on Google.

      • Better to google maxi cosi vela as I know other stores are also clearing same stock.

  • Wouldnt it better to get a car seat tjat turns inti a booster till 6-8 years old at this price point ?

    • Does such a product exist? Reversible car seat from birth that converts into booster seat up to 8 years?

      • +1

        I have the insecure 0 - 8 which converts from rear facing —> forward facing —> booster.

        • Thanks didn't know they existed. Are they a bit bulkier (compared to car seat up to 4 years) because of ability to convert to booster seat?

        • @tranter: Yes they are taller but not that much wider at the base. They are wider at the shoulders. If I had 2 standard 0-4 seats in my car, the middle would still be squashy.

        • I did see those but really didn't like how infrasecure seats are all blow moulded plastics. Felt like a cheap Esky to me instead of something I should be putting a baby in. YMMV

    If you have bought it, extend the headrest all the way up and check it goes a couple cm above the 3rd shoulder marker. If not, the seat will be unusable before its time. Take it up with Maxi Cosi. One of many reasons this seat has been discontinued.

      thanks for the advice, I just checked mine and noticed the headrest stops in the middle of the 3rd shoulder line when it's fully extended. I've already raised the issue with Maxi Cosi. Let's see who will they respond.

      • Good luck, I've heard they can be ahem recalcitrant at times. Stick to your guns. The headrest can not touch the shoulders so touching the line is not good enough.
        Congrats on getting one that high, I've seen a couple where you can't even see the label.

    • Are they all like this or only some?

      • I think it's only some?
