Maxi-Cosi has revealed what it describes as the ‘future of car seats’ with its new sliding car seat technology, SlideTech.
The 360 Pro Family – which Maxi-Cosi says marks a new standard in car seat innovation – will be available at retail in the UK and Ireland from 24 April.
Setting an ergonomic precedent, the car seat can both rotate and slide towards the parent when getting their child in and out of the vehicle.
The new SlideTech technology on the FamilyFix 360 Pro base allows parents to simply lock, slide, spin and go. No more leaning over, no back pains and no more struggles, which is cited by 90% of parents across the globe.
The FamilyFix 360 Pro slide-out base also features FlexiSpin, a 360° rotative system that enables the Pebble 360 Pro and Pearl 360 Pro car seats to be easily rotated with only one hand in any reclined position.
“At Maxi-Cosi, we strive to develop the safest, most comfortable solutions,” commented Guillaume Sauvetre, product director. “We have created the 360 Pro Family as a solution to parents’ biggest frustrations when taking their little ones in and out of the car seat – such as not having enough space to move in and around the car, buckling up little ones and bumping their head on the door frame. The features are designed to make car seat struggles a thing of the past.”
The Pebble 360 Pro and Pearl 360 Pro also have extended recline positions. The Pebble 360 Pro delivers maximum comfort for babies aged 0-15 months and features three recline positions, including a unique full lie-flat position that can be used in both cars and when attached to compatible pushchairs too. The Pearl 360 Pro boasts five recline positions, offering optimum comfort for toddlers throughout their journey, sleeping or wide awake.
Raul Sepulveda, president and ceo at Dorel Juvenile Europe, continued: “Maxi-Cosi has always pioneered innovation in technology that make parents’ lives easier. As a brand, we are constantly listening and responding to feedback. As a result, we have earned the trust of parents worldwide. Now, with the world’s first sliding carseat technology, we are once again shaping the future of transportation for children.”
