Car seats – an essential and lifesaving need for all babies and children globally. They can be challenging to install and difficult to use.
Here at Maxi-Cosi, we have heard these challenges and understand them (after all, we’re parents too!) so we set out to create a compact, easy to use car seat that makes travelling with your child easier and safer – every day.
The best convertible car seat in Australia is, without a doubt, the NEW Maxi-Cosi Pria ™ car seat.
Designed with ease of use, safety and comfort in mind, it offers a range of innovative features that make it the ideal choice for parents looking for the best option for their baby. Pria changes the way parents use car seats making is safer and easier every day...
The Maxi-Cosi Pria features an all new Australian designed and engineered SMART Guide®. This global first innovation transforms the way parents use car seats by rerouting the top tether. Traditionally, top tethers can create a hurdle or obstacle for getting your baby into your car seat forcing parents to undo the top tether or duck and weave babies over the tether, under the car and into the seat. Maxi-Cosi SMART Guide® has reinvented the way parents use car seats.

Safer. Every day.
By removing the barrier of lifting your baby over the top tether, the SMART Guide® system makes it easier and more convenient to get your child in and out of the car seat. This not only reduces the risk of injury to your back but also lowers the risk of misuse from poor installation or not re-engaging the top tether once your child is in the seat.
According to research, up to 90% of car seats* are installed incorrectly, which is a significant concern for parents. However, the SMART Guide® system makes it easier to install the car seat correctly, which can improve the safety of your child in the event of an accident.
One of the key benefits of the SMART Guide® system is that it delivers ease of use for Australia’s most popular parenting car category: SUVs. These vehicles often have high rear seat backs, which can make it difficult to install a car seat properly and use easily. The SMART Guide® system overcomes this challenge, making it easier for parents to install and use their car seat safely...
The SMART Guide® system has been Australian engineered and designed, making it a world first. The designers of this system understand the needs and challenges of parents and carers, which has led to the creation of a system that is both safe and convenient to use.
Maxi-Cosi Pria sets a new standard for convertible car seats, prioritizing both safety and comfort. It boasts the flattest recline angle in the industry, which offers a unique Zero Gravity recline for rearward-facing mode, enhancing your baby’s airway flow by reducing head flop and lowering the risk of chin-to-chest contact. Furthermore, a shallower recline ensures a more comfortable fit in a wider range of cars. Experience enhanced safety and superior comfort with Maxi Cosi Pria.
Dependable and trusted patented Air Protect head protection, cool baby bamboo wicking fabric, premium 3D mesh and over 200 purposely designed air vents work hard to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience every time. Extended rearward facing markers up to 30 months ensure a safer journey for longer for your baby.
