Maxi-Cosi Beryl ISOFIX Car Seat, G-Cell Technology, Rearward and Forward Facing, 0-7 Years, Up to 25 kg, Authentic Black

This seat is great it comes with a base and is easy to fit. It fits any car and can be moved from car to car with ease. It can face back or forward depending on the age of the child and adapts easily for different age children. I love it it looks really comfortable and it allows the baby/child to see out of the window.

Seems like a well made car seat, however I bought it for my 3.5yo daughter who is already over the standard 18kg limit for most forward facing harness seats, and this is one of the few seats on the market that advertises going up to 25kg. But having sat her in it, she barely fits already, and certainly has no room for growth. She is towards the top percentiles for her age but I would imagine most children would outgrow this seat by 4.5-5, not the advertised 7 years old…

This is exactly what we were looking for in a car seat. My little one outgrew his first one and I'd been researching different car seats for months after having an awful encounter with Joie's ispin 360!My little one looks super comfortable in this seat, I love the buckle and the harness as well. The only thing that lets it down is it's not possible to change the angle of the tilt when rear facing but my son seems to like the angle it's at anyway!

On pictures and in the flash the product looks great.However I have realised that this product has no breathing on the back and as a result my son gets extremely hot and sweating for being on it if only for 20 minutes.There is a fundamental issue with a materials that this product is built as it does not allow breathability and as a circulation to reduce the sweating.It becomes so uncomfortable for my son that we have to stop changes clothes putting back on it and restart the journey.Based on our experience I would highly recommend that you do not buy this product.

I bought this online as halfords weren't offering fittings so that we can see if it will fit in my very small car.On the plus side, it fits perfectly as I have extremely short seat belts. Its comfy looking, sturdy feeling and looks great.My main worry is the body straps. They don't sit close to my baby's neck. Instead they sit at the end of his shoulders and he can easily lean forward and they will roll down to his elbows, even when the straps are pulled at their tightest. My 6 month old baby isn't the chunkiest of boys and is long and thin instead. I have had to use velcro straps at his chest to make sure the two straps meet at the middle instead of at the crotch.I understand that this car seat must've passed a rigorous safety check but I fear that without my additions my baby wouldn't be safe in a crash.I'm now trying to find a clip that will support the harness at the chest and have to fork out even more money for this.Honestly I wish I had just bought a different car and not settled for this 🤷‍♀️
