Recliner not functioning
The seat can not recline per advertised which makes it very difficulty for my 5 month old sleep during a ride due to the lack of comfort and proper support for my baby
Keeps little one cool
We bought this a few months ago because our 2 year old was having heat issues in a normal car seat in the southern US. The Pria Chill was an instant night and day difference in comfort for our daughter and she went on and on about how “this seat keeps me cool”. She complains when she’s in another car seat now. The only complaint I have this that you can’t turn the fan on manually, it only runs when the sensor thinks it should. Our little one runs hot and has asked several times for us to turn the fan on because she’s warm but the car seat hasn’t decided it’s warm enough to run the fan yet and we have to explain to her that we can’t control the fan. The on/off switch in the power cable is only to turn the system on or off, not the fans themselves.

A must have
I brought this for my 7 month old who is a “hot “ baby. He is always sweating. This is worth every penny! It has fans and keeps him cool!

Fantastic seat for hot weather and older babies
The Maxi-Cosi Pria Chill car seat is a great option if you live somewhere that gets hot! The breathable, chemical flame retardant free fabric is lovely, and the fans combined with the mesh really keep kiddo cooler in the car. Fans are automatic, but you can turn off the feature with a switch too. I prefer this seat for a larger baby despite it saying it can fit 4lbs and up. For an infant I found that the infant insert pads slide down and make it difficult to tighten the straps properly. The chest clip is also quite oversized for a small infant. The seat is also tricky to angle properly for a newborn and makes install tough. For a larger baby the magnetic easy in-out chest clip is awesome, as are the strap holders. The removable dishwasher safe cup holders are amazing and the seat is easy to clean overall. It looks really nice in the car, but is a better fit for a larger vehicle. Overall I really like this seat for ease of use, especially for toddlers-preschool age kids. I would personally look at something else if you want a single birth through booster seat, or drive a compact car.

Perfect for summer or warm states
After testing the car sat for a few months I'll give this a 4 out of 5 stars. Overall the car seat is aesthetically pleasing and easy to clean when those messes happen. The magnetic chest strap made it super easy to clip one handed. You can pull and adjust without climbing in the car! I found the air fan comforting for my child when he needed a car nap. The air fan was nice to have on hot days but not sure it made a difference in cooling him down than the air did. I gave 4 starts since its easy to clean and the looks is nice.

Great car seat with great features
This seat is very comfy and keeps my son cool. The fans have different speeds and you do hear them, especially on the highest speed, but it is not bothersome in any way. I love that the cup holders come out so you can clean them well and I love the magnetic clip (my 3 year old daughter also thinks this is the coolest, she likes to do it herself). The cord sticks out some so I have to be careful not to knock it when Im putting things in-out of my trunk, but other than that I really like this car seat.

Little guy is comfy and cool!
This car seat was perfect for my 1 year old who runs hot and hates being in the car because of how uncomfortable he gets. When I found out I was receiving this car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was so excited to test it out with the fan function. Upon receiving it I loved the design and how soft and comfortable the fabric and the seat in general was. It was super easy to install and it was easy to get him in and out. It took a minute to get the hang of the magnetic chest buckle but after I tried it I loved how easy it was to handle and still safe and secure. Even though it is wintertime for us my son still overheats in the car when wearing sweatshirts aand the heat full blast , so the fan actually turns on for him when it has gotten too warm in the car even in the wintertime when needed. I can't wait to have this function in the summertime too! The cord for the fan was easy to hide since it was plugged into the back and out of tiny hands reach. The seat was super easy to install, we didn't even need a virtual appointment, although we appreciated one being available if we needed help. The only design I would change is the cushion cover for the crotch buckle- it went a little higher than I like and adds a little time to move it out of the way In order to unbuckle, but we ended up just removing that padding thanks to the easy customization of the design! Overall my little guy has been super comfortable in his car seat, I love that we can keep him cool if he overheats because that was always on my mind. And I love how gorgeous and sleek it looks!
