Recliner not functioning
The seat can not recline per advertised which makes it very difficulty for my 5 month old sleep during a ride due to the lack of comfort and proper support for my baby

Keeps little one cool
We bought this a few months ago because our 2 year old was having heat issues in a normal car seat in the southern US. The Pria Chill was an instant night and day difference in comfort for our daughter and she went on and on about how “this seat keeps me cool”. She complains when she’s in another car seat now. The only complaint I have this that you can’t turn the fan on manually, it only runs when the sensor thinks it should. Our little one runs hot and has asked several times for us to turn the fan on because she’s warm but the car seat hasn’t decided it’s warm enough to run the fan yet and we have to explain to her that we can’t control the fan. The on/off switch in the power cable is only to turn the system on or off, not the fans themselves.

A must have
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this for my 7 month old who is a “hot “ baby. He is always sweating. This is worth every penny! It has fans and keeps him cool!

Awesome seat for warm weather
I would recommend this car seat to anyone living in a warm climate, especially if they drive a car without air vents in the back. I have such peace of mind knowing my son is safe and comfortable in the Maxi-Cosi Pria Chill. We recently took a long road trip to the beach and it was so nice not having to worry about the baby getting too hot in the car. I will say that the seat was initially difficult to install, but moving it to a different car later was a breeze. Be aware that during long road trips the ventilation system can be loud when automatically turning on-off. Overall, I would recommend this car seat and am grateful for having been given the opportunity to test it out myself.

I am thrilled with this seat
This seat has been such a game changer for those hot miserable summer days. The 3 speed fans keep my child cool and comfortable, specially being rear facing and not having a direct vent. The fans do have a noise but it's not loud enough to be a pain. My child seems to enjoy it and it's almost like a slight white noise. The shoulder strap are the kind that don't stay up and the buckle pad does slide off occasionally when taking my child out, so they are a pain to always be adjusting. The fabric cleans nicely and I haven't had any problems with staining. The cover is easy to remove and put back on. The mesh fabric isn't as smooth as some of their other fabrics and crumbs can get stuck in the mesh holes. I do understand that it needs to be a fabric that air can flow through so it makes sense but can be frustrating trying to vacuum out. Installing the seat was easy and straight forward. I plugged mine into the 12v plug in my trunk and ran the cord through my seat creases so it stays out of the way and is hidden. The cord is long and can easily reach the front or rear outlet. The on-off indicator light is easy to tell if it is lit up with my rear baby camera. My seat is rear facing so the manual switch is easy to reach. However, in forward facing it might not be as easy to reach. I have a Toyota RAV4 and it fits nicely behind my seat (drivers seat). I currently have two Maxi Cosi seats in the back and everyone in my family fits great. My husband usually rides passenger because it gives him more room with a forward facing seat to put his chair back (he is 6'4). All that to say it's not a gigantic seat and can fit comfortably in a small SUV. Overall, if you love the Maxi Cosi car seats you will not be disappointed with this one!

Cool, comfy, and convenient!
Our toddler has constantly been complaining that she's too hot or cold. No more! I haven't heard a peep from her since we got this car seat. When I discovered the fans were only automatic, I thought there would still be complaints, but none so far. I love this seat. It's plush, comfy, and easy to get in and out of. The fabric is machine washable, and our little continues to say that this is the comfiest seat she's ever felt. The magnetic buckle is also amazing - quick and out of the way when getting in and out. The cup holders also come out and are dishwasher-safe. It's quick to install/uninstall using the LATCH system, though if you're moving seats around, you have to unthread the fan cord, too. I was worried the cord wouldn't be long enough because we need to plug it in in the front, but it was plenty long. The cord is under the floor mats, and it's easy to disconnect in the front. This has been helpful since the switch on the seat is hard to reach in forward-facing mode. The indicator light at the top of the seat is super helpful; it's easy to see from the rearview mirror yet not bothersome for tired kids in the back (though maybe red would have been a better choice than blue for night). It's been a good indicator for me to turn down the air when it comes on. We are using this seat in forward-facing mode, though I have to say, I think this is the first convertible car seat I would consider using for an infant. The inserts provided, coupled with the magnetic buckle that stays out of the way when putting a baby in, really make this an ideal choice if you are using a convertible seat with a baby. The only major downside is that we can only use this car seat for one child due to the 12V connector. I would also still like the option to manually turn on the fans even though I haven't needed to yet. I was given this car seat to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, though if a future version has a rechargeable battery option, I will be purchasing more!

Great Quality - Bulky Seat
I want to love this car seat so bad but it is just so big!! Upon opening the box, there is no instruction manual on how to install, features of the car seat, etc. I had to go on the web to figure out how to install the seat. It seemed pretty simple, but I struggled with getting it tight enough to not wiggle around. I had to scoot my passenger seat all the way up and also lift the back of the seat in order to get it to fit and be level. For reference, I have a Chevy Tahoe. The fan system is really cool and unlike anything I've ever seen. I'm very hopeful that it will keep my little guy cool in the hot Texas summers. Fingers crossed! The material and fabric seems very comfy and high quality. The inserts that were included were also great quality, but we didn't need to use them. I especially love the magnetic chest closure because it makes getting my son in and out an absolute breeze! The cup holders are great for snacks and drinks and he can easily reach them on his own. I'm excited to continue to use it, but may have to switch out if we use my car for long rides as the passenger seat will be too squished. I received this product for free as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

A no-brainer for parents everywhere!
We have been using this product for the last couple months and absolutely love it! Living in the south, we have had some record breaking temperatures this summer and thanks to this car seat, my toddler was able to remain cool while in the car, and we were able to get her seat to cool quickly when getting into the car. I love that the cooling system is effective while also being quiet. The magnetic clip makes buckling easy. The strap holders provide easy entry and exit from the seat & the removable cupholders are so easy to wash - just take out of the seat and throw them in the dishwasher! We love this seat and would recommend it to everyone.
