Maxi Cosi AxissFix i-Size

The successor to the Maxi Cosi Axiss, the AxissFix i-Size is the first Swivel car seat to have been approved under the new European i-Size regulation (R129). This model is installed in the vehicle using the ISOFIX® mounting system and a top tether strap for quick and easy installation. It is one of the few baby car seats which doesn't use struts, which can be useful when you have floor boxes in the rear seats. To avoid any handling errors, several visual indicators indicate the correct installation of the seat. AxissFix by Maxi Cosi is a baby car seat pivoting system, which is relatively compact compared with competitors such as the Britax Dualfix or the Cybex Sirona. This is very practical when you have a small car or several car seats in the back. This model can be used from 61 to 105 cm or 4 months to 4 years about. Visit Maxi Cosi AxissFix has the enormous advantage of rotate 360This makes it easier to install your child and fit the harness, as well as choosing whether the seat is forward-facing or rear-facing.

In accordance with the new i-Size regulation, AxissFix must be used rear-facing up to a minimum of 15 months. In reality, AxissFix allows you to travel with its back to the road from 61 to 87 cm (from 4 months to 2 years approx.) then switch to facing the road from 76 to 105 cm (from 15 months to 4 years approx.). However, to ensure optimum safety in the event of an accident, and to protect your child's head and neck, which are still very fragile at this age, we recommend that you use the car seat in the rear-facing position, up to the maximum authorised for this model. Although it is important to remember that travelling rear facing is 5 times saferThis seat allows parents who are still reluctant to let their child sit with their back to the road to extend this position even further, while still being able to choose the orientation (forward-facing or rear-facing). For even greater safety, a button on the front of the seat can be used to lock the orientation of the seat until the child is at least 15 months old.

What's more, this baby car seat has a height-adjustable headrest on 7 positions, a 5-point anti-slip harness and small hooks on the sides to ensure keep the harness open while the child sits quietly in the car seat. It is also fully removable machine washable. The only negative point about this car seat is that despite 4 tilt positions both facing and facing away from the road, it does not allow certain children before the age of 8 or 9 months to have their heads sufficiently supported when they fall asleep. By the way, Maxi Cosi quickly remedied this problem by offering a model equipped with a reducer for newborns.

Maxi Cosi AxissFix Plus i-Size

AxissFix Plus is the direct heir to AxissFix with which it shares exactly the same features, both in terms of comfort and safety. The main difference between these two models lies in the fact that AxissFix Plus includes a reducer for newborns (not sold separately). This allows the baby car seat can be used from birth (from 45 to 60 cm) by slightly correcting the inclination that was missing on AxissFix. For use of the car seat above 60 cm (4 months approx.)The reducer simply needs to be removed so that baby is not too tight. AxissFix Plus is an i-Size approved seat for use from 45 to 105 cm (from birth to 4 years approx.) with use back to the road from 45 to 87 cm (from birth to around 2 years) then facing the road from 76 to 105 cm (from 15 months to 4 years approx.).

Like AxissFixIt is installed in the rear seats of the vehicle by connecting the two ISOFIX clamps and the top tether strap to the anchor points provided. There's no major revolution in this model, which has the advantage of being able to be used as soon as it leaves the maternity ward.

Maxi Cosi AxissFix Air i-Size

AxissFix Air is the latest addition to the AxissFix range of swivel chairs, with many of the same features. This model stands out from its predecessors and main competitors thanks to a major innovation. A major innovation, AxissFix Air is the first model to incorporate an airbag system (Air Safety Technology) to protect children more effectively in the event of an accident. Read more, AxissFix Air is fitted with a CO2 cartridge. As soon as the car seat's safety system detects a collision, it triggers in a few milliseconds the two airbags located in the harness shoulder straps which then fills with cold air (no risk of burning) to cushion the child's head and neck like a pillow, before deflating.

In compliance with last i-Size regulation (R129), AxissFix Air is a 360° swivelling car seat that is ideal for children from 61 to 105 cm (from 4 months to 4 years approx.) with possible installation with its back to the road from 61 to 87 cm (from 4 months to 2 years approx.) then facing the road from 76 to 105 cm (from 15 months to 4 years approx.). In terms of comfort, seat and harness padding and the headrest of the AxissFix Air has been improved to make baby even more comfortable.

As was already the case on the Maxi Cosi AxissFixHowever, the recline is still insufficient for the smallest children, which may lead you to postpone its use for a few months and continue to use your baby cosy. Unlike the Maxi Cosi AxissFix PlusNo gearbox is supplied with this model. Second negative point, the airbag buckle being positioned a little high, it may be uncomfortable for some children's necks and chins. Despite these inconveniences, AxissFix Air is still a very good choice for transporting your children in complete safety.
