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!

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.

No more sweaty baby!
We really like this carseat. It is easy to install and our daughter loves to ride in it. She is comfortable and happy on car rides. The vent max cooling system is great for keeping her cool on longer car rides--no more sweaty head and back!

Coolest car seat…literally
This Pria Chill Maxi-Cosi car seat has been wonderful! My little ones all seem to run hot and this built-in fan system has been a game changer. Even recently it's been unseasonably warm for us in November and December in our area and the cooling features have been great. I thought the fans might make the car seat extra bulky or oddly shaped, but that isn't the case at all. The installation into our car was straightforward and simple. There is the extra chord for the fans, but it wasn't hard to figure out where to plug-in and how to keep it out of the way. The fabric colors are neutral and nice. The materials feel really plush, which makes me feel better since my baby is sleeping in it so often while carting him around with older siblings. I love that the fabric is safe for him to be breathing near, since it's free from flame-retardant chemicals. The cup holders that are removable to be washed in the dishwasher is also so thoughtful and helpful for sticky messes. Having been through a few different seats with three kids, this one has all the features. Just wish we had it for baby #1! We are so glad we received this carseat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

A COOL car seat
My first impression of the car seat was that it was very comfortable looking, and quite large. I drive a small compact car and was worried it wouldn't fit, but it fits just fine! I was so excited for the fan system the car seat had, as my child runs extremely warm and often is hot in the car- no matter the season. It has been so nice to have on while the heat is on in the car, knowing that she is cool but the car itself is warm for her. I know the summer will be great to have this feature as well. The fabric and cushion of this car seat is so comfortable feeling and breathable, you can tell just by the touch of it. I can tell my daughter is comfortable sitting in it, while still secure and safe. The seat was extremely easy to install, the virtual appointment is an added bonus to make sure you have everything correct, and the cord for the fan is easily accessible. When the seat is forward facing , the cord may be harder to get to, but as a rear facing seat, it works just fine. I'm so glad my daughter will have this seat for all stages of her growth. Overall I just love the look of this car seat, the safety of it all, and the added bonus that my daughter is more than comfortable.

Beautiful and Easy to Use
I'm a mom to three boys, and our youngest is 18 mo. so I've seen a lot of car seats! I was very excited when I received this all-in-one car seat from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This car seat is gorgeous, I love the color and the clean look of it. The fabric is soft too! It is very easy to install nice and tight with the LATCH system, and the instructions were very clear about the appropriate recline for my rear-facing toddler. The pad on the crotch buckle keeps it easy to access instead of having to fish it out from under the baby, and I love the magnet buckle at the chest clip; it is really easy to properly buckle, but did take some practice to undo (with the benefit of being more difficult for a busy toddler to undo!). I was having trouble tightening the harness with the strap pads on but when I removed them it was easy to get a snug fit. Another big benefit to this seat is how easy it is to remove and reinstall the pads! I was excited to see they can be machine-washed even with the cooling fan feature. The removable, dishwasher-safe cupholders are GREAT! There are two things that I didn't love. First, when I was sent the product from the manufacturer initially, the seat arrived without the LATCH straps. Because I am an experienced parent, I knew that because our vehicle has LATCH, it is the best way to install the seat. I contacted Dorel and they arranged to have a new seat sent. It was great customer service, but I imagined that if I hadn't known to look for the LATCH straps (like if I were a first-time parent) I would have missed out on this big safety feature. The other disappointment for me is the 40" height limit on rear-facing. I have tall and skinny kids who will likely outgrow the limit before we want to switch them to front-facing. I am excited about the fan system but we didn't get to test the venting because it is winter here. I wish it was a USB vs. cigarette lighter plug. That said, I'm looking forward to using it this summer!
