Maxi-CosiPeri 180 Rotating Car Seat

Amazing quality and great brand to purchase, Best choice!!

Functional

Love my car seat! Washable. Stays clean. Baby loves it.

Cool idea bad execution

Cool concept but it really isn’t safe and seems to be made cheap. We’ve used the car seat and base combo for less than a month and the rotating portion won’t lock in position at all anymore. It just hangs up at the locking point but in event of a crash or someone simply bumping the car seat it spins freely.

Nice car seat, tough to get out of the base

I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. I definitely feel as if this would not be my first choice for car seats and the fact that I had such difficulty while trying to place the car seat in the base and take it out daily was a huge struggle. Im not saying that is a reason for someone not to buy the seat but as someone who has to be in and out of the car at least 4x a day, this was a huge deterrent for myself. It got super frustrating, and I felt like that bothered me enough to not love the car seat as a whole. The rotating feature worked perfectly fine but I just felt like it wasnt worth the large-bulky base that it came with, which was hard for my older kids to get around in the car. If you dont need to worry about that, then its not a huge deal. The car seat itself was amazingly light. I was truly impressed and loved that part so much. Makes it easier to carry plus when having to put the car seat on to the stroller to connect them both, it was lighter than I expected (which is always nice). Overall not my favorite infant car seat, but a good sturdy one. Definitely consider all aspects of the car seat if you use it daily but know others may not have had the exact same experience as myself. This is just what I found to be true for his particular car seat. I truly don't know what I would do tell someone if they asked if they should buy it. I guess it would depend on their needs and desires in a car seat and how often it would be used.

Game changer

We got this as part of a testing program, so yes it was free, here is my honest opinion about the product. The installation is a dream, especially for first time parents. It has a belt pathway that secures in place and keeps it from moving, it also has green/red indicators to tell you if it's tight enough, which is a big help in knowing your little is actually well secured, it also has a QR code showing you a video of how to get a proper install. The seat is super plush, reclinable and has an extendable canopy feature, which is inside a zipper under the canopy, great for those of us that have a lot of sun and is needed for the stroller or the long car rides to keep the sun away from their little faces. Our old main car seat was a competing brand, but not rotating, and our daughter hated it, this one? Smiles from the get go!! It is very plush, my husband calls it a baby lazy boy! It reclines, it rotates which is not only convenient but also a game to my daughter and she loved it! I did put in a suggestion for different colors as my only "negative", because babies are messy and light colors tend to not live unstained for long. That being said it's washable and very easy to take apart and put again after it's done. Overall we loved the experience with this seat, so much so we upgraded to the next version!

Mixed feelings

I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. I have some mixed feelings about this car seat. There are some cool features for sure. The rotation feature is obviously the one that stands out the most. I didn't appreciate this as much when my son was a newborn, but now that hes getting a bit bigger, it's been a game changer for getting him in and out of the car seat! The car seat itself is light and easy to carry, as well as very aesthetically pleasing. I've even had others compliment the appearance. I really like the canopy shade and how it easily tucks away when not in use. There are some things that I wish were different about the seat. I wish that the base of the seat was not as tall and allowed you to place and remove the seat from the base while rear-facing. I find it very awkward to attach and detach the seat from the base while the seat is facing you. The rotation feature makes the base quite high, and at 5'1", I need to lift the seat (with my 20 lb infant) well above my waist in order to secure it into the base, causing quite a bit of struggle on a daily basis. This may not be an issue for everyone, but for my petite frame, it does make it challenging.

Awesome Car Seat

I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. This is a great lightweight and easy to use car seat. Very easy to install as well. Imagine not bending into your car the entire time your buckling them in? The swivel seat is a must. High quality all the way around!

So convenient

I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. The infant car seat is great. It helps to get baby in and out in a comfortable way because baby is delicate. The fabric is soft and comfortable. It is slightly bulky but I love how convenient it is to use this car seat. It is lightweight and compatible with stroller so it makes going out easier. Overall, it is a good infant car seat.
