Maxi-Cosi support Car Safety

Maxi-Cosi are fanatical about car safety, that’s why they are passionate about keeping their products up-to-date with new regulations.

Car accidents remain the leading cause of child deaths in Europe, with a recent study concluding that 17% of children killed were being transported in car seats that had been fitted incorrectly.

With over 30 years experience, Dorel UK (the owners of the Maxi-Cosi brand), have been working tirelessly to try and lower these figures.  They have been heavily involved in the introduction of the new i-Size regulations, and last month they launched their fantastic car seat advisory tool, which is designed to help you choose the safest car seat for your car.

At the moment an average of 10 child deaths and 1,150 injuries occur on Europe’s roads each week. The new i-Size regulations work to address the three major factors that contribute to these figures. The mandatory age for rear-facing car seats will be increased, along with integral ISOfix fittings in cars, and improved side impact regulations. 

Maxi-Cosi car seats support extended rear-facing and have created a large range of car seats suitable for i-Size, ISOfix and seat belts to suit parents’ needs. They have also worked very hard to make all of their car seats easy to install while still offering style, comfort and the highest level of safety.

Andrew Ratcliffe, Managing Director at Dorel UK, said ‘We needed to find a solution to help reduce incorrect car seat installation, which we’ve done by fitting the 2wayFix Base with an interactive light and sound feedback system that lets you know when the 2wayPearl has been correctly installed.’
