THE FACTORY TOLERANCES ARE SLOPPY, therefore the pull out function is not worth it. Rotation is sloppy also. ISOFIX slides have the best movement, but the switches tend to catch. Every single movement and switch, except for the main chair release ir just bad. All of the swtiches are unstable un unpleasant. the plastic could dig in less into the car, but is decent enough. Not worth the money.

Very easy to use car seat. We have another that came with our pram from a different brand but this maxi cosi is far superior. Easy to get baby in it and baby seems COMFORTABLE in it. I would however say that the 'lie flat' position isn't easy to do and requires 2 hands, i'd also argue it is not completely lie flat. Nevertheless! I didn't feel it was worth knocking a star off for. Connect to pram easily and i like that the hood comes really far down.

Not a lot to say about a base, but it is straightforward to fit. The old types of seat will go on the new base as well which is helpful if you had the older style (not pro) infant carrier prior to this pro version coming out like us. So if needed it could still be used (up to the appropriate age / weight) but it just wont do the slide out option that is a new feature.

The seat is easy to set up and the red/green indicators are very useful to know you've got it set up correctly. The annoying thing is that the base doesn't slide or rotate smoothly. It jolts most of the time which isn't good when you're trying to keep a baby sleeping. I've tried different things to stop it jolting, but haven't found a way to stop it yet. The other thing, which I think is true for all isofix seats/bases is that is slides from side to side even when it's fixed securely. I've bought a seat cover to prevent that happening as often which made a big difference.

currently on my second base as the first made the car seat wobble so much it felt unsafe. Ive had the new one 2 months and it doesnt feel any better, it makes me anxious to drive & she wobbles in the seat so much on the base. I will not be moving her to the next seat up with this base and will more than ljkely buy from another company instead. I would change her seat and base now but after spending almost £500 on a base and seat id rather not lose so much money as my baby is only 14 weeks!  I strongly advise not getting this base. It is also extremely noisy and squeaky, to me it sounds like it isnt made well at all. Such a shame for the price. I tend to use a seatbelt with my daughters seat instead now.

Solid construction and easy to install in the car.

Im looking forward to use this, baby hasnt arrived yet

The installation was very easy with isofix, good with the green/red indicators to know if Its installed properly. The rotating function is good (although i think it would be nice if it where to "lock" in the 180 position for when you take it out. What makes me give it i 2 out of 5 star review is that the sliding mechanism is the worst. Maybe the base we got is defect, but yiu have to use a lot of force (from behind might i add, and also jiggle a bit) to even get it to move. Its like it gets stuck in the end positions. Would never do it with a baby in the car seat, feels dangerous. For such a pricey car seat you would think that everything would be tested before they ship them to vendors/customers. Not the easiest thing to return either because of the size. Sorry to say that im extremely dissApointed. Everything else with the car seat itself is great, so hopefully there is something wrong whit the one that we got. (I hope this review is not published with all caps, cannot seem to write in some other way)

Has all the promise of being amazing but it was a bit stiff to set up. The leg wouldn't come down. Requested a replacement so hopefully that one comes working!

It's almost impossible to pull the car seat in and out - my husband and I both have to use our full body weight to pull it out and push it back in…there's definitely no gliding! It means we can't use the base to its full functionality as trying to pull the base out with the car seat and our daughter in it would be extremely jerky and cause her distress. I hope we've been unfortunate and received a faulty product, but at £200+ you'd expect products to be tested and quality control to stop this happening.
