The seat tilts after correct installation with buckle

I'm very sure that i installed it correctly, but when I push the maxi cosi in backwards direction, it tilts (in the direction of the rear of the car seat). This shouldn't be possible, right?

Hi

This is not a realistic movement for the carseat - it wouldn't be tilted like this in an accident so it is not something that can correctly confirm a good fitting.

Was the carseat fitted by a trained member of staff prior to purchase and confirmed suitable? Did they demonstrate how to correctly fit it using the seatbelt only?

SOURCE: once removed how do you

Good Evening

Instructions for replacing your fabrics are in your Maxi Cosi CabrioFix user manual. If you no longer have your user manual you can download another copy at www.maxi-cosi.com and selecting the CabrioFix carseat. Above the product image you will see a tab to download a user manual.

If you have removed the harness from the carseat completely this carseat needs to be sent to our engineers for them to re-thread the harness. Due to the safety implications of this being done incorrectly we cannot recommend that this is done by anyone else. The standard charge is £50 and this would include courier delivery service of the carseat back to your address. In addition you will need to make arrangements and cover costs for a courier delivery service of the carseat into our engineers.

Maxi cosi tobi strap has jammed

It's not possible to loosen the belts of your Tobi?In this case you may need a repair of the quick-adjuster (the part where the buckle is attached to) or it may be appropriate to exchange the quick-adjuster.
Because this part is directly affecting the safety of the seat I would advise you not to try to repair it yourself; please visit a Maxi Cosi dealer to have it serviced.
I hope this helps.

Hi, I would like to ask a few questions: 1. Does the Maxi Cosi Cabrio car seat fits only to the isofix base, or can it be installed to the mico base as well ? If it does, the only difference is that the...

Good Morning

The Maxi Cosi CabrioFix can be fitted without any base, using the 3 point seatbelt: With the EasyFix base, using IsoFix points or 3 point seatbelt: With the EasyBase and EasyBase 2 using the 3 point seatbelt. It cannot be used with the Mico carseat base as they are not designed to be used together. The Mico is available in US and does not meet UK standards: Likewise the CabrioFix does not meet US standards so they should never be used together.

If you don't know how to fit the carseat into your vehicle using the 3 point seatbelt please check your user manual, or download a replacement copy at www.maxi-cosi.com before use go to an authorised retailer to check it is correctly installed as this will affect the performance of the carseat.

Hi i have a maxi cosi mico car seat and the adapters for the bugaboo frog are stuck on the car seat. I might have put the adapters on backwards. how can i get them off! thank you

There are two gray buttons on the car seat pretty much above where the car seat attaches to the chassis. (These are different buttons than the ones you push to move the car seat handle forward/backward.) Push on these buttons and pull down on the adapters. Should come off.
I recently bought my maxi cosi adapters, and I had the same problem you're having. I did have them on backward. But, I'll be honest, even when they are put on correctly, it is still a pain in the you know what to put mine in, attach the car seat, and then take the car seat off of the chassis. Starting to regret my frog purchase...

Pulled tensioner on maxi cosi tobi now i cant release it back

Just did it. It took two of us, but only a couple of minutes and no tools (except a table knife) once we'd worked out what the problem was. The reason the strap doesn't thread easily through the slot is that there is a sprung two-part mechanism that needs to be held open. One person threads the strap through while the other keeps the mechanism open.


Person 1:

1) Find the slot under the chair that the strap goes into - turn the seat upside down; it's a thin gap you can feel with your fingertip when you run your finger along the narrow back of the metal strip under the front of the seat (not the base).

2) Remove the metal rod that attaches the grey reclining lever. The rod is about 20 cm long and can be pushed out without tools. Removing this rod seems to make it easier to open the buckle mechanism. When replacing the rod later, you just have to line it up carefully with holes (we used a torch to help us see them)

3) Make sure the strap passes under the metal rod at the bottom of the seat back (you can see how here in a small photo here: http://www.englishforum.ch/attachments/sale-wanted/37565d1327058634-sale-maxi-cosi-tobi-car-seat-9mths-3-yrs-zh-maxi_cosi_tobu_small.jpg)

Person 2

4) Push back buckle as far as it will go (it goes back past vertical easily, then needs another firmer push,

5) Hold the buckle in this backwards position.

6) Insert a table knife (rounded and blunt, not sharp) into the space under the buckle and push back the sprung, hinged plastic part that the knife touches at the back.

7) Person 1 then threads the strap back through the slot, pushing until then end comes out.

8) Tie a knot in the end of the strap so you don't accidentally pull it through again!

9) Replace the metal rod in the reclining mechanism.

10) Done!

Maxi Cosi fabrics only have the Side Protection System tag if the seat they are designed to fit has the SPS technology (not all seats do). Make sure you have the correct fabric for your carseat.
