Julie McQuaid (29 years old) from Hillingdon, Middlex is Mum to Isabelle Dee (7 months old). Julie currently uses a 0-1 group car seat for Isabelle and drives a three door Corsa (55 reg). Julie shared her opinions upon this product with Mums Baby Magazine.

How easy is the seat to fix into the car?

With the base, this car seat is very easy to install into the car, I had Isabelle via C-Section and was fine installing and removing the Maxi Cosi Cabriofix Car Seat into and from the car postpartum. I  wouldn’t have coped in the first few months without this model of Car Seat with only having a three door car.

Is this Car Seat Isofix?

Yes

Does the car seat have washable covers?

Yes, although I have never had to wash them.

How easy is it to get your little one in and out of the car seat?

It is really simple and easy, the strap holders are also a great idea, this stops Isabelle from getting caught up in the straps when getting in and out from the car.

Which way does the car seat face?

As this car set is a Group 0-1, the seat rear faces.

Where did you get your car seat?

Mothercare

How much did you pay for your car seat?

£100

List five things you love about your car seat:

• It’s easy to put in and take out of the car
• The hood is great as it keeps the sun out and makes it easier for baby to sleep
• The newborn insert is useful as it kept her very flat when she was smaller
• I like how it clips onto my Loola Pushchair
• My baby likes to sleep in this car seat and the rocking function is useful when out and about for settling Isabelle.

Is there anything that you dislike about your car seat?

• As Isabelle has grown bigger, her head tips forward in the seat due to the angle of the Isofix installation
• The fabric gets all sorts of fluff and hair sticking to it
  

If you were to buy your car seat over again, would you chose the same model?
Yes!
