Maxi Cosi Prioris

[janinegirly]

Just curious from those who own it--is it small once they reach toddler age? I''ve read that a few places.

I''d like to purchase this as a 2nd car seat since I found a good price, and frankly like the look and compact size. But would rather not invest in something that she''s already too big for!

I thought you were trying to say something funny in Latin. The names of this new baby stuff crack me up--baby uppa?

We have 2 of them and love them. You know that Lucy''s already a giant and she''s not too big for it so I don''t think you''ll have any problems with C. Go for it--you won''t be disappointed!

Thanks Curly--that''s what I was hoping to hear!

I think it looks like a good size, and love the look of them.

We have a Britax in my car and the Priori in my DH''s car. I am actually going to disagree with some of my favorite mamas on this site in that I don''t love the Priori

I want to love it, because it''s so cute, but I just don''t. We both much prefer the Britax. The Priori, we''ve found, is much more of a pain for buckling and unbuckling the straps, and is also more cumbersome to adjust.

On the plus side, it is super cute and A seems as comfy in it as he does in his Britax.

We are actually thinking of replacing our Priori with another Britax, although for as little as DH takes A out in his car, I''m not sure it''s worth it.

I don''t notice any issues with him being too big, but he''s only just turned 1, so that''s no help!

Good review TDM and good to know from someone who has both. I do really love the look of the MCPs over the britaxes (which I mostly think are so ugly), but have to admit that I love Amelia''s carseat. We have a Boulevard and and a new Marathon which hasn''t been out of the box but which I had to buy since Target had them at $135. We''ll use it when Amelia starts preschool as my mom will need one for her car for pickups.

We have them and really like them and so do a few other sets of twins we know. But some have Britax and love them too so just check them out if you can to be sure you''ll like them.
