Security
Maxi Cosi's reputation for safety is well established, as previous models prove. The Pebble 360 Pro, with its reinforced side protection system and impact-resistant shell, is no exception. However, although the ADAC tests revealed a very low probability of injury in frontal and side collisions, they also highlighted a high concentration of harmful substances, leading to an overall rating of 'insufficient'. We therefore recommend waiting for improvements in this area before fully recommending this model.
