1 year agoKeeps 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.

2 years agoSweaty Kid Saver
I have great things to say about this car seat! I've noticed that the backseat of my car does not have very good air flow (especially for a rear-facing child) and while I'm riding comfortably with AC blasting, I notice my child is sweaty when arriving at our final destination. This always presents a challenge: do I crank the AC and freeze myself out, or keep the car at a moderate temperature and hope my child doesn't mind the sweaty hair? This car seat provides the solution with the built-in fans and automated sensors to turn on and off when optimal temperatures are reached. The look of the car seat is stylish and relatively slim, although to incorporate the fans, the head rest is large and bulky, but my child didn't mind. I really appreciate that this seat can grow with my little one, and while I didn't need to use this for an infant, the pillows provided were firm and looked like they would have been extremely supportive for this function. A few design features that I think could make this a 100% winning seat are in relation to the cord and fan features. The cord is nice and long to allow it to reach the front seat in my car; however, in larger vehicles, or if using this in a third row, the cord would be unlikely to reach any power. I tried following instructions to keep the cord out of the way by tucking it under the seat, but in the rear facing position, it still has to drape and makes a second child crawling under it to their seat more challenging. A channel within the seat to hide the cord would be ideal. The power for this is also only a 12V; however, having this run-on USB power would have been more ideal. Adjusting the height positions on this seat was more challenging than I'm used to, but it was just something I had to adjust to. Overall, I would recommend this car seat if you are looking for a nice option to keep your kiddos cool! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this all in one car seat.

2 years agoBrings new meaning to the word "comfortable"
I recently tested the Maxi Cosi Pria Chill with VentMax Car Seat, courtesy of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I'm genuinely impressed with its outstanding features & safety-oriented design. From the moment I opened this box, I knew this car seat was going to be a luxurious one, thanks to its remarkably rich texture of the fabric and cushioning - and it also simplifies the cleaning process—a genuine lifesaver for my husband and me. The magnetic chest clip is another particularly appreciated comfort feature. A key advantage of the Maxi Cosi Pria Chill is its versatility, seamlessly transitioning from rear-facing to front-facing and into a booster seat. This adaptability makes it a wise long-term investment! The range of padding options, including the infant cushions shows the thoughtful design Maxi Cosi has for kids of all ages. While I was hoping the installation process would be fairly seamless (thanks to the clear and concise directions laid out in the manual), I did encounter a slight hurdle and initially struggled to get that tight fit to the seat I was looking for. But after watching some instructional videos, I had it strapped in and ready to go in under five minutes! The Vent Max Chill System stands out as a game-changer. Setup was effortless—plugging the car seat into the rear 12V power port—and it immediately proved its worth. The attention to detail in the system, including the indicator light, breathable fabric, and cord system, is evident. Placing the system out of the child's reach and ensuring it doesn't interfere with the back seat's functionality is super important. The automatic cooling feature, responding to sensor cues, is particularly impressive and crucial for cars like mine that don't have rear vents. The Maxi Cosi Pria Chill with VentMax Car Seat has truly exceeded my expectations, offering a combination of comfort, safety, and innovative features that make it a standout choice for any parent.

2 years agoBeautiful 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.

Amazing car seat! Exactly as described! Everything works great. The cooling system is amazing in keeping my son cool in the car. He used to come home sweaty everyday and now he doesnt! The car seat is also such a beauty, I get comments all the time that my son looks like a king in it! Absolutely love this car seat!

2 years agoAwesome car seat with great features - you won't regret it!
I really love this car seat. This will be our third Maxi-Cosi car seat (in three kids) and I've had nothing but good experiences with this brand. This new Maxi-Cosi Pria™ Chill has all the things I love about my original Pria™ (comfortable padding, high safety rating, good quality materials) and adds some great features like a magnetic chest clip, built-in strap holders, breathable fabric, and ventilation fans. We moved to South Carolina last year and the summer heat is no joke. "Hot" is my 2 year old's #1 complaint in the car, so this fan system is such a useful feature for us! I found this seat to be easy to install both rear facing and front-facing. The LATCH clips are easy-release and the straps are simple to route through when making adjustments. And, if any challenges or hiccups arise during install, Maxi-Cosi offers a virtual car seat appointment to get questions answered and provide peace of mind for a proper install. Once I got it installed, I routed the fan cord down the front of the seat, under the floor mat, and up to the center console to plug in. It was really easy to tuck away. My favorite feature is the magnetic chest clip. It makes buckling and unbuckling super easy without sacrificing a feeling of security - it clicks on tight! It did take me a few tries to get good at the unclipping, but now it comes easily. Overall, this is the same high-quality seat that I know and love from Maxi-Cosi with some added "cool" features that make life easier - a total win for me! Of note, I'm a NICU nurse so I am very familiar with fitting newborns in car seats and it is NOT an easy thing to do in some brands/models. The Pria™ Chill is recommended down to 4lbs and I feel confident that the provided newborn inserts would make this possible, so this seat could be used from the very first ride home from the hospital. I was given this all in one car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.

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
