If you get the diono, then definitely buy/use the angle adjuster. It's worth the extra $10. Also, it depends on how long you truly was your LO to remain rear-facing. My son is almost three and has just about outgrown the maxi cosi pria RF, but has several more inches to go with the diono. The pria is more soft and padded than the diono. I also agree with others that it gets very dirty looking from even having water in it. However, the pria definitely fits well in smaller SUV back seats. We currently have it in my mom's lexus rx 350. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300300 Thu, 24 Sep 2015 06:14:17 +0000 Turd Ferguson 2300300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the black/grey one and I don't love it. At all. The straps are ALWAYS getting twisted and it is literally impossible to tighten. DD is still RF, so in able to pull the straps through the back to tighten, but once we flip her, I have no clue how I'll do it. Also, agree with the staining--our issue though is the headrest, which (on my model) doesn't come off so you can't clean it. </p> <p>I would totally not have gotten it and wish I would have gone with a Foonf or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300237 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 23:38:07 +0000 ChiCalGoBee 2300237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got the one with the tiny-fit system because we had a very narrow back seat we were trying to fit it in. I don't love getting him in and out of it (I feel like I'm constantly having to shift/maneuver him based on the angle of the car), but it definitely is compact and good for smaller back seats. He seems to like riding in it, though, and we're planning on keeping him rear-facing for another year so it should be good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300167 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:40:49 +0000 PinkElephant 2300167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: bummer! I checked as well and the promo isn't listed for my model (2014 Sweet Cerise), so maybe they pulled it. If it helps you, Diapers.com does free delivery and I got mine less than 24 hrs after ordering, so that may still be a possibility for you, but it's not as amazing of a deal as an extra 25% off AND a gift card! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300139 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:15:43 +0000 dc yoga bee 2300139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: I'm trying to order mine right now and it has the gift card promotion still listed but isn't working! They aren't honoring the promotion. They said 20% off and $25 gift card and are saying you can only get $25 off. No 20% off. So, why list that then? Also, the Diono radian is not coming up 20% off either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300121 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 21:05:39 +0000 PinkElephant 2300121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: ack I missed the gift card! It wasn't there Monday night when I ordered! I might return mine; I'd way rather have the Amazon gift card!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300068 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:41:40 +0000 dc yoga bee 2300068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: Amazon is $199 &amp; giving a $25 gift card too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300061 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:38:18 +0000 PinkElephant 2300061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: it's cheaper on diapers.com right now - $199 plus $20 gift credit for the site, versus $199 and no gift card on Amazon. We just bought another one yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300060 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:37:28 +0000 dc yoga bee 2300060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's nice to see people actually have them. I haven't seen as many people with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300053 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:36:19 +0000 shopaholic 2300053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it and only have a travel one to compare it to, but we love it! I love how plush and comfy it is and the best feature LO loves is the built in cupholder! She loves to put stuff in it and keeping a drink there is great for long rides. Our travel convertible has a flimsy upholder attachment that always falls off. I will agree that the material stains really easily. One particular tantrum and the side head part that's grey (on our black seat) stained permanently somehow just from her tears. </p> <p>That being said, I'm hurrying over to Amazon now to look at the sale and see if I should get a second one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300029 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:29:10 +0000 PinkElephant 2300029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two hot pink ones. We wash them, no problem, and they're good as new. I like it, but do have some twisty strap issues; no huge complaints. It seems super comfy! They fit in our Acura MDX with no problem and space for an adult passenger in between, but the car is a bit of a beast so that's probably true for any seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300020 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:24:35 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2300020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: we just have the black. For what it is worth it fit in our Monte Carlo with enough space to be comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300017 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:22:07 +0000 jill_a55 2300017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: jerks! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300009 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:18:28 +0000 dc yoga bee 2300009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: Good to know!! Our buy buy baby doesn't have either in stock. Super lame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300005 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:13:46 +0000 jill_a55 2300005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: my sister has the patriot, which I think is similar is size as the Cherokee and we fit it in her car just fine. You shouldn't have a problem! But you can test it at BuyBuyBaby if you have one near you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2300001 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:12:19 +0000 dc yoga bee 2300001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jill_a55: sweet! But, I'm in the smaller regular Cherokee 😕. I told DH we needed the grand, but he didn't feel comfortable driving it. Which, is kind of a requirement lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299998 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:11:01 +0000 dc yoga bee 2299998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: oh no!! That's the exact color I'm looking at haha. Thanks for the pic!</p> <p>How is it as far as space in the back? Can you still put your seat back? That's what it looked like the Diono con is for smaller SUVs. I need to be able to see out the back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299996 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:09:57 +0000 jill_a55 2299996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I have it in black in my grand Cherokee! I love it, we did have to move the passenger seat up a little bit to get the recline right, which isnt a huge deal for me (I'm 5'9) but my husband doesn't fit well in the seat so he normally drives. I haven't noticed any issues with the straps twisting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299991 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:08:05 +0000 Purpledaisy 2299991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I have the same pink as @pinkb. You can wash it... But I never have😁. Honestly though, I love the pink! It's so worth it to me! Priorities :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299981 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 20:01:17 +0000 pinkb 2299981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: The worst was from teething early on, for whatever reason she would lick the head wings. I found the light pink strap covers to be impossible to keep clean.</p> <p>[attach=1367/15/nv5pi5.450x600.unnamed.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299968 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 19:54:23 +0000 dc yoga bee 2299968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheesetomywhine: What color do you have? We hope to rear face for as long as possible as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299964 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 19:53:23 +0000 dc yoga bee 2299964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Purpledaisy: @pinkb: Ah!! I totally want pink too! Which pink one do you have? She's just started teething, and the drool is all day lol. Our current infant seat is black, so I can see it looking new. We have some strap twisting issues there as well. I know that can get annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299764 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 17:55:39 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2299764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it for DD and she is still RF at over 3. She seems to really enjoy it! It does have some drool stains but I've never tried to wash them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299760 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 17:48:24 +0000 pinkb 2299760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had it (pink one) and loved it at first then despised it. The straps twist all the time, even in the little belt thru the clip part twisted all the time. It stains really easily and bad, even just from drool. The cup holder rubber split since DS car seat sat next to it and squished it. It is super padded/fluffy and kept DD really hot and for us in a hot climate in FL it just didn't work well for us. DD did really like it until the heat became a factor. It was in a car accident so I ended up replacing it with a foonf instead. Higher limits, steal reinforced, not so fluffy/cushy, and slimmer design- really like it. And in DHs car we have a Britax Blvd, love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299754 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 17:38:49 +0000 Purpledaisy 2299754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a pria 70 for each car and love it. Nice and plushy and I like the material. We live in a hot climate (100+ during the summer) and she sweats way less in this one than in the infant seat. </p> <p>Just a warning, we have a pink one and a black one and the pink one stains a lot more. The black still looks practically new. Everything spilt on the pink one shows up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299469 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 14:02:06 +0000 jape14 2299469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it and don't have any complaints so far. I really like how plush/comfy it is - DS hated the bucket seat so anything to make car rides less annoying - and the cup holder is great, too. DS (12.5 mo) isn't in the car a ton though - we do a nanny share so have far fewer pickups/dropoffs than most, and we live in the city so he's usually only in the car once a weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299464 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:59:58 +0000 nana87 2299464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it and I really like it! I've only ever compared it to our infant seat (UB mesa) and a Graco convertible seat that my brother uses, and it's much cushier than either of those We have a really small car (old Saab model, don't know which... we don't drive that often) and it fits but is tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299449 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:49:50 +0000 ShootingStar 2299449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it and I don't love it. The straps tend to twist and it can be hard to tighten. I like my husband's Nextfit a lot better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-the-maxi-cosi-pria-70#post-2299445 Wed, 23 Sep 2015 13:48:03 +0000 dc yoga bee 2299445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Convertible car seats are on sale at Amazon, and I'm trying to decide between the Maxi-cosi pria 70, and the Diono Radian. I've heard and read all the good reviews about the radian, and love that it has a steel frame like the Cybex Aton 2 LO is currently in. I'm concerned the radian may be too tall for my jeep Cherokee. I wanted to see if anyone had any feedback about the pria 70? LO will probably outgrow her infant car seat in length before she hits the weight limit, but no immediate plans to switch to a convertible. We just need two, and want to get one on sale now. </p>
