We Carry The Future
Life is one big adventure, and becoming a parent is the biggest adventure
of all.
And we would know. Because we’re parents too.
It’s a road full of milestones, moments and unforgettable journeys - starting
with the rst trip home from the hospital. We understand how important it
is for new parents to feel supported right from the start. That’s where Maxi-
Cosi comes in.
We’re there from day one... and for every day that follows. We care about
giving parents child mobility solutions they can trust - car seats and
strollers that are safe, smart and easy to use. With Maxi-Cosi, parents
know their children are in the best hands possible. So they can focus on
the other things that matter, like living in the moment and seeing the joy
and wonder of life in a whole new way. That’s what being a parent is really
about.
We get it, and we care.
We always have.
It was thirty years ago that we launched Europe’s rst baby car seat
and since then, we’ve carried over 50 million babies home from the
hospital.
We were pioneers then, and we’re pioneers now. That’s why we’ll never
stop improving, designing, and perfecting the way new families move
around the world - wherever life’s adventures may take them.

years (inclusive) may travel in the front seat, provided they use an

with the child restraint), can reduce the safety provided by child
restraint and may cause injury or death. For approved aftermarket
accessories please refer to page 36.
