Welcome to the
Maxi-Cosi family!
Congratulations on the purchase of your brand new
Maxi-Cosi Car Seat. Please take the time to read through
these instructions carefully.
Our vision at Maxi-Cosi is to help parents as their families grow, and like an embrace that carries
a child before they can walk, we’ve helped millions of families at the start of their new life.
It was over 40 years ago that we launched Europe’s rst baby car seat and since then, we’ve
carried over 60 million babies home from the hospital! We were pioneers then, and we’re pioneers
now. We will never stop improving, designing, and perfecting the way new families move around
the world - wherever life’s adventures may take them.
Air Protect®Superior Side Impact Protection
Air Protect® is designed to reduce the severity of side impact crash forces by absorbing
the energy and transferring that energy away from your child’s head giving your child
180 degree protection in the instance of an accident
SMART Guide®
Our patent-pending SMART Guide® changes car seats forever, providing parents with
simple, fuss-free entry and exit of their child, rather than stretching and lifting over
traditional tethers or installing and removing the tether every time you enter and exit
thecar.
ISOGO®
ISOGO®is an ISOFIX compatible system for installing Maxi-Cosi car restraints for
children. The ISOGO system is a simple and user-friendly latch system. It enables
parents and care givers to safely connect their Maxi-Cosi child restraint to their vehicle’s
ISOFIX lower anchorages.
Accident Exchange
As a safety brand, we want to offer the best possible support during this time. Inthe
event of a car accident your car seat may have unseen damage. The Maxi-Cosi Accident
Exchange Service* offers new for old replacement of your car seat, giving you peace of
mind. One less thing to worry about as a new parent.

Your Pria seat is suitable from newborn until
approximately 4 years of age and provides your child
with opportunity to extended rearward facing (ERF) for
up to 30 months or as long as they reach the required
rearward facing height markers.
You will have the choice to install your child restraint via
ISOGO (if tted) or seatbelt installation into your vehicle.
Here’s a quick checklist before you install your child restraint in rear facing mode:
 Check that your child’s upper shoulders are NOT above the middle height marker
and if they are, convert to forward facing.
 Harness height is level or above shoulder height but not below.
 Rearward facing recline setting 6 is selected.
 Child is younger than 6 months (or 8kgs) for the use of newborn inserts.
