Nice sturdy seat, but if child is on small side then arms can easily come out

Sturdy seat, good colours, and can recline a little
My wee girl, although 3 and 1/2 now, is quite slim, and the shoulder straps keep slipping off her shoulders, which is quite alarming. We bought 2 seats on the recommendation of variuos reviews, but I wish we'd only bought one to start with, as I wouldn't buy again. I think they'd be ok if your child is quite broadshouldered, but unless my daughter has a padded coat on, she can easily get her arms out, no matter how tightly the straps are pulled. It's an expensive seat, so make sure you try it out first.
WOuldn't buy again, as feel the fact the arms keep coming out negates the point if the seat. Probably better for wider shouldered children

We are extremely pleased with our purchase of the Maxi-Cosi Tobi carseat for our daughter. She sits up brilliantly and enjoys the view from being sat up so nicely. I feel that she's very secure as well.

Stylish
Reclining features allow child to be reclined to a very comfortable sleeping position.
Head rest cradles my daughters head nicely.
Click-safe feature ensures that your child is appropriately tightened into the seat- not too tight, not too loose.
Somewhat heavy to put in and out of vehicle.
We purchased this carseat for my daughter as a second seat for my husband's car. I quickly snapped it up for my vehicle, however, as I was so pleased with how nicely sat up my daughter was in the seat. She's properly secured in the seat and I know this because of the Click-safe feature which means you can't over-tighten or under-tighten your child. The reclining feature is brilliant and I frequently use it as my child is so comfortable that she almost always falls asleep in it. I would highly recommend this product to others.
