Maxi-Cosi Peri 180 Rotating Car Seat

I am a car seat tech and had this seat come to me to be checked. From the door everything looked good, removed the seat from the base and saw the green indictors and thought nice they did a good install. Pulled on the seat not very hard and the locking lever popped open. The indicators still remained green. Most seats with a lock off go from red to green when the locking mechanism is fully engaged, not the presence of the belt which does not require much force to trigger green. I reinstalled it myself and saw green and again the lever wasn't locking into place. This seems like a poor design that can give a potential false indication that everything is good. Secondary the family thought it was a rotational seat that can go forward facing which in my head I am thinking no because it is a infant seat but after looking at the marketing and the use of 180 I can see how parents might think this is a rotational seat like others on the market

Amazing quality and great brand to purchase, Best choice!!

Love my car seat! Washable. Stays clean. Baby loves it.

Cool concept but it really isn’t safe and seems to be made cheap. We’ve used the car seat and base combo for less than a month and the rotating portion won’t lock in position at all anymore. It just hangs up at the locking point but in event of a crash or someone simply bumping the car seat it spins freely.

The Peri 180 has been a game changer for travel with my baby. I can't imagine life with a basic car seat now. The 360 rotation is amazing and makes getting my daughter in and out simple and seamless. It looks and feels luxe and is SO light and easy to carry.

I received the Peri car seat as part of a product testing program with Dorel. I have some mixed feelings about this car seat. There are some cool features for sure. The rotation feature is obviously the one that stands out the most. I didn't appreciate this as much when my son was a newborn, but now that hes getting a bit bigger, it's been a game changer for getting him in and out of the car seat! The car seat itself is light and easy to carry, as well as very aesthetically pleasing. I've even had others compliment the appearance. I really like the canopy shade and how it easily tucks away when not in use. There are some things that I wish were different about the seat. I wish that the base of the seat was not as tall and allowed you to place and remove the seat from the base while rear-facing. I find it very awkward to attach and detach the seat from the base while the seat is facing you. The rotation feature makes the base quite high, and at 5'1", I need to lift the seat (with my 20 lb infant) well above my waist in order to secure it into the base, causing quite a bit of struggle on a daily basis. This may not be an issue for everyone, but for my petite frame, it does make it challenging.

The fabric is soft and comfortable. It is slightly bulky but I love how convenient it is to use this car seat. It is lightweight and compatible with stroller so it makes going out easier. Overall, it is a good infant car seat.

My baby and I love this rotating car seat, it makes getting him out of the car so much easier. The fabric of the car seat is extremely soft and I love the color - it gives it a very expensive look and feel!

We LOVE this car seat! The colors and fabric are premium, the padding is so plush and our baby looks so comfortable when he's in it. The installation is easy and the red/green indicators save you from wondering if it's installed properly-- SO HELPFUL! And the rotating is a game changer. Especially as my baby has gotten bigger, and heavier to maneuver. I highly recommend this car seat!

The rotating base is a great feature, especially if you keep the car seat in the car for the majority of the time. The colors and materials are very nice. I really like the extended shade option. This is great for naps and weather when out and about.
