Bottom line:
The Maxi-Cosi Euro Plus is one of Maxi-Cosi’s high end convertible car seats exclusive to Baby Bunting. The Euro Plus has 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.
The Euro Plus has 3D Mesh ventilation and ‘Cool Baby Wicking Fabric’ to help during warmer days. An infant insert keeps newborn babies snug and secure, but all the cocooning can make your baby too warm. It is not the smallest seat but nor is it the largest. It also features Maxi-Cosi’s magnetic harness holders, a convenient touch to make it a little bit easier taking your baby in and out of the seat.
It also features ISOFIX connectors like its cousins the Maxi-Cosi Moda and the Maxi-Cosi Euro NXT.
At $679 it is expensive but there are plenty of options available for this kind of money, so depending on if you are after a particular colour it might come down to which one is on sale at the time.
Who this is for:
Parents looking for a high-end compact convertible car seat with the latest safety features with ISOFIX.
