Modes of Use

The Maxi-Cosi Pria Max All-in-One Convertible Car Seat adapts to your child's growth through three distinct modes:

1. Rear-Facing Mode

For infants weighing 4-40 lbs and measuring 19-40 inches. Ensure the car seat is installed at the correct recline angle, indicated by the Rear-Facing Level Line, so that the child's head is properly supported. Use the included infant pillows for newborns and smaller infants to ensure a snug and secure fit.

2. Forward-Facing Mode

For toddlers weighing 22-65 lbs and measuring 29-49 inches. The child must be at least 1 year old. Use the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt system or the lower anchor and tether system (LATCH) as per instructions in the installation section.

3. Belt-Positioning Booster Mode

For children weighing 40-100 lbs and measuring 43-52 inches. The car seat transitions into a high-back booster, using the vehicle's lap and shoulder belt to secure the child. Ensure the shoulder belt lies flat across the child's chest and collarbone, and the lap belt is low on the hips, touching the thighs.

Setup and Installation

Recline Adjustment

The Pria Max offers 10 recline positions to ensure comfort and proper positioning for your child. Locate the recline adjustment lever at the front of the seat base. Pull the lever and adjust the seat to the desired recline angle. Ensure the seat is level according to the indicators for rear-facing use.

LATCH Connectors

For easy and secure installation, the car seat features one-click LATCH connectors. These connectors are located at the base of the car seat and attach to your vehicle's lower anchors. Ensure a tight fit with no more than one inch of movement side-to-side or front-to-back at the belt path. Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for LATCH system locations and weight limits.

Operating Instructions

Harness Adjustment (QuickFit)

The QuickFit harness system allows for simultaneous adjustment of the headrest and harness height. To adjust, squeeze the lever at the top of the headrest and slide it up or down until the harness straps are at or slightly below your child's shoulders for rear-facing, or at or slightly above for forward-facing. This ensures a proper and safe fit as your child grows.

ClipQuik Magnetic Chest Clip

The ClipQuik magnetic chest clip simplifies buckling. To secure, bring the two halves of the clip together until they magnetically connect. To unbuckle, press the release button on the clip. This feature makes securing your child quick and struggle-free.

Out-of-the-Way Harness Holders

For convenience, the car seat includes spring-assist harness holders that keep the straps out of the way when placing your child in or taking them out of the seat. This prevents straps from getting tangled or underneath the child.

Maintenance

Fabric Care (PureCosi Fabrics)

The PureCosi fabrics are designed for easy cleaning. All fabric pads and cushions can be easily removed for machine washing and dryer-safe drying. Refer to the care labels on the fabric for specific washing instructions. This helps maintain hygiene and extends the life of your car seat.
