Safer Journeys Start
with Maxi-Cosi.

Choosing the safest car seat is one of the most important decisions you’ll make–and Australian parents continue to trust Maxi-Cosi for our proven performance, advanced safety innovation, and exceptional comfort. Every Maxi-Cosi car seat is equipped with Air Protect® Superior Side Impact Protection, delivering leading head support to help keep your child safe on every journey.

We also strongly recommend keeping your child rearward facing for as long as possible (at least 12 months), as this position provides significantly greater protection for a baby’s head, neck, and spine. With Maxi-Cosi, you can feel confident knowing your little one is travelling with the highest level of care.

What Is Air Protect®?

Air Protect® is Maxi-Cosi’s exclusive side impact protection technology, engineered to help reduce the risk of head injuries in a crash. Its unique design creates a soft, air-cushioned barrier around your child’s head, absorbing crash forces and redirecting energy away from the most vulnerable areas.

Car Seat FAQ's

How many child car seats can fit in a car?

This depends on your vehicle and the car seats you choose. Many cars can accommodate three seats across the back, especially when using slimline designs. Maxi-Cosi offers compact car seats, like Pria LX and booster seats, like TUva LX ideal for multi-seat configurations. Always refer to your vehicle manual to confirm available anchor points and ISOFIX locations.

Is my car seat safe if it doesn’t have a certification label?

No. A car seat must display the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1754 compliance label to be legally used and considered safe. If the seat is missing this label-or is damaged, expired, or part of a recall-it should be replaced immediately.

Does my baby need a car seat in a taxi or rideshare in Australia?

Yes. In Australia, children under seven years of age must travel in an approved child car seat, even in taxis and rideshare vehicles. You can bring your own car seat or request one when booking your trip. You should always check each local state’s laws before travelling.

Is it safe to buy a second-hand car seat?

It’s generally not recommended unless you know the full history of the seat. You must be certain it has never been in an accident, is within its expiry date, and still displays a valid compliance label. Always inspect for signs of wear or damage before use.
