Pria™ Chill All-in-One Convertible Car Seat

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.

Beautiful with a smart design
I was sent this car seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel and was excited from the beginning because I love the Maxi Cosi brand. Just like I expected the design and colors are beautiful and it's covered in a thick cushion. It looks exactly like the pictures online. But there is nothing "cooler" than the fan feature. I have an older car without air vents in the back and with a rear facing car seat this is a serious problem. The air never hits my poor baby and it gets hot where I live. I've tried a clip on fan but he just pulls it off and plays with it, if I put it further away he can't feel it. It just doesn't work. Even in California it's not hot enough in December to try out this feature (it will automatically turn on when it detects a certain temperature) but I've turned it on and off and it's really genius. It's a little annoying to have a cord and I would have preferred it to attach to the usb which is closer to the seat but the cord is plenty long. I can't wait to see it in action this summer. The only thing I don't love is the chest clip feature, it's a little trickier and both sets of grandparents can't figure it out haha. Besides that minor problem I totally recommend this car seat. You won't be disappointed.

Love the Pria Chill!
Thank you to Stellar Panel for providing me with this car seat in exchange for an honest review! I am really impressed with this car seat! It was very easy to install and adjust, I had no issues. I wasn't aware that the car seat would have a cord that needed to plug in but thinking about it now it makes sense. My son is rear facing so there really isn't a concern with the cord because he can't reach it. When he is forward facing I will have to take a little more care with the cord but I think it will be worth it. My son seems to run hot and I am constantly pulling him out of the car seat sweaty, especially since we live in Southern California. I love that he can stay cool since the fans can reach him much easier than my cars AC. We might use this feature a little less now since it's winter but we do still have our warm days and definitely will in the summer. The pads of the car seat seem super comfortable and even though my son can't talk to tell me, he does seem comfortable in it. The seat fits easily in my car without any issues. Overall I would absolutely recommend this seat!

A great Car seat!
This is a great car seat. The Vent Max technology has been a game changer for us. We live in Arizona, and this summer has been very hot. Knowing my girl is getting air is such a relief as she is still rear facing. The fabric is very breathable, and remains cool even though it stays in the car. I haven't used the cup holders, but they are very nice to have once my girl gets bigger. The magnetic chest clip is easy to use, and belts are easy to adjust. My baby seems to be very comfortable in the seat, and happy. The sound of the fans is just enough to let you know they are on, but not annoying. I also like that there is an indicator light, but it isn't too bright. I would definitely recommend this car seat to anyone looking for a convertible seat for their little one. I am so excited to continue to use it as she grows and turns front facing!

I am thrilled with this seat
This seat has been such a game changer for those hot miserable summer days. The 3 speed fans keep my child cool and comfortable, specially being rear facing and not having a direct vent. The fans do have a noise but it's not loud enough to be a pain. My child seems to enjoy it and it's almost like a slight white noise. The shoulder strap are the kind that don't stay up and the buckle pad does slide off occasionally when taking my child out, so they are a pain to always be adjusting. The fabric cleans nicely and I haven't had any problems with staining. The cover is easy to remove and put back on. The mesh fabric isn't as smooth as some of their other fabrics and crumbs can get stuck in the mesh holes. I do understand that it needs to be a fabric that air can flow through so it makes sense but can be frustrating trying to vacuum out. Installing the seat was easy and straight forward. I plugged mine into the 12v plug in my trunk and ran the cord through my seat creases so it stays out of the way and is hidden. The cord is long and can easily reach the front or rear outlet. The on-off indicator light is easy to tell if it is lit up with my rear baby camera. My seat is rear facing so the manual switch is easy to reach. However, in forward facing it might not be as easy to reach. I have a Toyota RAV4 and it fits nicely behind my seat (drivers seat). I currently have two Maxi Cosi seats in the back and everyone in my family fits great. My husband usually rides passenger because it gives him more room with a forward facing seat to put his chair back (he is 6'4). All that to say it's not a gigantic seat and can fit comfortably in a small SUV. Overall, if you love the Maxi Cosi car seats you will not be disappointed with this one!
