iF Product Design Award 2010 for new Maxi-Cosi product range
The Maxi-Cosi Car Seat Family has been honoured with the prestigious iF Product Design Award 2010.
The award is presented annually by the IndustrieForum Hanover, Germany and is an internationally respected recognition of quality design.
2,486 Products from 39 countries competed for the IF design Award 2010 in 16 categories, including Transport, for which the Car Seat Family was awarded a prize. The international jury of experts was greatly inspired by the innovative design, functionality, ergonomics and environmental friendliness of the Maxi-Cosi Car Seat Family.
All winning designs will be on display during the CeBit trade show in Hanover from 2 to 6 March 2010, after which the iF design exhibition will be presented in various countries in Europe and the Far East. Earlier this year, the Maxi-Cosi Car Seat Family received the Kind & Jugend Innovation Award, the most important international distinction in the field of infant and children’s products.
1 IsoFix base, 2 car seats, 3 years and more of fun together
With the Car Seat Family, Maxi-Cosi once again sets the new standard in child car safety. The most distinctive feature of the Maxi-Cosi Car Seat Family is that only one single FamilyFix base is needed to fit the two consecutive age car seats Pebble (0-13 kg, birth to 12 months) and Pearl (9-18 kg, 9 months to 3½ years). The system incorporates clever technology. A light-and-sound LED display gives parents absolute ease of mind that their child’s car seat is installed correctly and safely. Years of unparalleled safety and ease of use offered by the Isofix system make the Car Seat Family the one system parents can trust to be the no-hassle travel solution that will simplify their active lives.
Manufacturer Dorel Europe’s Marketing Director, Margriet van Zijl, explains the success of Maxi-Cosi: “We continuously strive to develop products that have added value for the lives of both parent and child. With well thought-out travel solutions like the Maxi-Cosi Car Seat Family, parents can make the most of their lives and time spent together with their child. It‘s a true honour to receive recognition for such efforts in the form of an award from a leading design organisation like the IndustrieForum. It confirms our claims regarding the design and quality of our brand.”
