FAQs

• The EasyFix ends up fully upright due to the slanted angle of my back seat.

  Answer

  We realise that some cars have a more slanted angle on the back seat than most, but this angle actually enhances the safety level of the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix in the event of an abrupt stop or a head-on collision, since the child is ‘pushed’ into the car seat. To ensure that your child is sitting comfortably, you can place a small pillow under the child's behind and head to provide added support.If in doubt, you can send us pictures of the situation so that we can advise you more specifically.

• What is IsoFix?

  Answer

  IsoFix is a (new) attachment system for car seats in modern cars. Special IsoFix attachment points are installed in the car in the factory during production. This means that the car seat does not need to be installed in the car using the car seat belts. Car seats that are older than the past few years cannot be installed using this system. IsoFix seats have been specially designed for this system and are equipped with IsoFix adapters.

• Why does the Maxi-Cosi need a support leg to support IsoFix products?

  Answer

  This support leg serves several functions. The support leg prevents the car seat from rotating (tipping) in the event of an accident. If the support leg is not used, the car seat may be pushed so far into the seat of the car during a front-end collision that the child will be thrown forward and may even hit the front seat or dashboard. The support leg is equipped with an indicator that shows whether the installation is correct. All Group 0+ and Group 1 IsoFix products from Maxi-Cosi have indicators so that you can immediately see whether the car seat has been installed correctly. The indicators are located on the steel IsoFix anchor points and the support leg: a green colour appears if the support leg is adjusted properly. The IsoFix products from Maxi-Cosi rank among the very best and safest car seats on the market. The Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix with EasyFix base has received the highest possible rating of five stars. Your child is guaranteed optimal safety with our IsoFix products.

• Is IsoFix safer than installing with a car seat belt?

  Answer

  If installed properly, a Maxi-Cosi car seat is the safest in its class. The IsoFix method prevents incorrect installation of the car seat, but is no safer than when the seat is installed using the traditional method. IsoFix prevents incorrect installation because a colour indicator (red or green) is used to indicate the correct installation of various parts.
