Bottom line:
The Maxi-Cosi Euro NXT is one of Maxi-Cosi’s high end convertible car seats with the latest Air Protect head cushion protection and G-Cell side impact protection. Extended rearward facing to 2-3 years is also possible with this car seat and ISOFIX connectors (called ISOGO by Maxi-Cosi) give you another option for anchoring the seat.
The Euro NXT has the premium ‘Cool Baby Wicking Fabric’ and an infant insert keeps newborn babies snug and secure, but can make your baby too warm.
Some users report the headrest does not extend high enough for your child’s shoulders to reach the upper marker, which may limit the seat, and it is unclear whether this has been fixed or not. This may limit your ability to extend use as your child grows.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for a high-end compact convertible car seat with the latest safety features with ISOFIX.
