Maxi-Cosi AxissFix Toddler Car Seat, Swivel Car Seat, 4 months - 4 years, 61 - 105 cm, Authentic Graphite

Product Information

The Maxi-Cosi AxissFix/AxissFix Plus should be used rearward-facing up to a minimum age of 15 months to guarantee optimum safety for your child. Maxi-Cosi recommends you to use the seat in the rearward facing position for as long as possible and up to the limit defined (until 87 cm or approx. 2 years). Where are the attachment points on an ISOFIX car seat? With a smooth swivelling action, the AxissFix feels like a well made car seat. The handle to spin it around isn't the easiest to use as you have to twist your hand to an odd angle. We did find ourselves fumbling a bit in the dark to locate it. The central handle in something like the Nuna REBL is easier to use. But that's only a minor criticism. Rearward-facing travel from 61-87cm (approx. 4m to 2y) and forward-facing travel from 76-105cm (>15m to approx. 4y) The Maxi-Cosi AxissFix is a toddler car seat which combines state-of-the-art safety and a 360° swiveling seat.

Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix 360 - ISOFIX Rotating Car Seat Base Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix 360 - ISOFIX Rotating Car Seat Base

Can't comment on the sizes through time as our little chap is only 4 months: required to be rear facing for at least 15 months (iSize standard), and no more than 87 cm, and then forward until 105cm. Your mileage may vary, obviously, but think that's about 2 years rear facing in practice. It's about the size of a pearl. At Maxi-Cosi we have carried over 50 million babies home from the hospital. For us, your child’s safety is Bébé Confort’s top priority. External crash test centres, such as the German automobile organisation ADAC (Allgemeneir Deutscher Automobil-Club), tested our AxissFix on dynamic safety and ease of use, rating it as good. Compared with the pebble we use in the other car, the strapping and body size adjustment is both simpler and better thought out. It is pretty easy to install, fixing to the isofix points. Rather than the leg to the floor that our 2-way fix base uses, this uses the top tether point behind the headrest for the third point, like the earlier poster commented. Not sure why that would be a problem, seems like it would provide more vertical anchoring when it matters than a leg would. Diono is a higher-end brand, while Maxi Cosi is considered more of a European/luxury brand. Does the joie 360 come off the base?

Most other 360 seats use a rebound bar and have an adjustable leg to prevent the seat from tipping forward in the event of an accident. The top tether system adds another level of complexity when fitting the seat - you have to thread the belt under the rear headrest and then go in through the boot to hook it onto the tether point. So it's not the sort of seat you want to be moving between cars on a regular basis. AxissFix offers an easy and safe ISOFIX installation, and its Top Tether system makes the installation even more secure by reducing forward movement. The indicators notify you when the ISOFIX installation and Top Tether tensioning are correct. The impact-absorbing material in the headrest of AxissFix car seat provides your little one with extra protection. We understand that children grow up fast. That’s why we’ve designed the unique 360 Family. This next generation rotating car seat system, consisting of a rotating FamilyFix 360 base and compatible Pebble 360 & Pearl 360 car seats, carries your baby from newborn up to 4 years old!

Maxi Cosi AxissFix i-Size review - Which?

So that means you'd have to buy another car seat for newborns. It seems Maxi-Cosi has overcome this problem though because from late 2016 this seat has been superceded by the newer AxissFix Plus, which is suitable from birth thanks to a new padded insert.Obviously this isn't a problem when forward facing but as the advice is to keep children rear facing for longer, we spent most journeys trying to persuade her not to play with it... It took us far longer to take out than seats like the Nuna REBL and Britax DualFix which just require to the two Isofix arms to be unclipped. Maxi-Cosi: Car seats are designed for 10-year use but don’t expire. Recaro: six years. Safety 1st: six to eight years, depending on the model. Does Maxi-Cosi Axiss turn both ways?
