Hi MFM mums and dads,

Today, Dorel (the company behind the Maxi-Cosi brand) has issued a voluntary recall of the Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix base.

Maxi-Cosi advise that you stop using the FamilyFix base and call Maxi-Cosi Customer Care on 01842 763 281. Maxi-Cosi can then let you know where you can have it checked locally, so you know if it’s safe to continue using.

Check out the full safety notice for more details.
