Maxi-Cosi Kore i-Size High Back Booster Seat, 3.5 - 12 years, 100 - 150 cm, ISOFIX Car Seat, Adjustable Height/Width, Side Protection System Plus, Quick & Easy Buckle Up, Authentic Graphite

The car seat felt secure when fitted with ISOFIX and seatbelt together, with or without a child in the seat. Using the seatbelt fitting only, the car seat felt secure with a child in the seat but, without, there was some 'give'. With that said, it didn't move around inside the car. That said, Jemma did think the ISOFIX installation was a little fiddly. What’s the difference between the Maxi-Cosi Kore i-Size and Maxi-Cosi Kore Pro i-Size?Maxi-Cosi is a popular brand with parents, and many of its models can be used with pushchairs to create a travel system. They can even be used with other brands of pushchair, so long as you have the Maxi-Cosi car seat adaptors. Can I recycle a Maxi-Cosi car seat? This is an extended rear-facing car seat that can be used from birth (with the Comfy Baby-Hugg Inlay, sold separately) until your child is four years old (or 105cm).

Clear instructions and green seatbelt guides give a good indication of the correct placement and position of the seatbelt across the lap and chest, providing reassurance that a child is safe and secure at all times. We found the fabrics to be soft and padded and both testers commented on how comfy they were when travelling. Made from bamboo fibres, they help with temperature regulation. They also feature mesh fabric panels at the sides of the seat keep them cooler. The covers can all be removed and washed on a delicate 30 degrees cycle, which will definitely be needed over the course of the 8 years it could last you! Things to look out for... The seat is easy to adjust if needed (for an older or younger sibling, for example). Both the headrest and the seat width can be altered to suit all ages and heights within the designated range, which means that the seat is always the correct size no matter the child. Jemma found the Maxi-Cosi Kore i-Size really easy and convenient to use on a day-to-day basis. Her daughter, who was almost six at the time of testing, was able to climb easily in and out of the seat and was very comfortable, even on longer journeys of approximately an hour in length. As a seat that will appeal to most ages, which is definitely something to take into account when deciding on the right car seat for you and your family, overall the Kore offers good longevity for a very reasonable price tag.During testing, the headrest had well-fitting height settings for Jemma's daughter and nieces. She was particularly pleased when it came to her four-year-old niece who she noted as being tall for her age. You then use the seatbelt to further secure the seat and your child into the car. The seatbelt routing is clear and easy to follow, which is reassuring for parents who may feel that they need some extra guidance. When it comes to design, there are no loose parts that could potentially be swallowed or anywhere for curious little fingers to get trapped.
