Why Maxi-Cosi Owns Our Bestselling Car Seats
Every now and then your own sales data tells you what customers value most. Looking at our current numbers, one thing jumped out: our four bestselling car seats are all from Maxi-Cosi. That’s not a coincidence. It tells us UK parents want three things above all: safety that meets current standards, seats that are easy to live with, and a brand they’ve heard of.
And the fun part? These four bestsellers cover almost every stage—from newborn, to travel, to big-kid booster, to a clever 360° seat. Below is the story behind each and, more importantly, why parents keep choosing these exact models.
Maxi-Cosi Nomad Plus i-Size Travel Car Seat
UK families clearly move around a lot—grandparents’ cars, taxis, airport runs, hire cars on holiday—and the Nomad Plus solves the classic problem: “How do I keep my child safe when it’s not our usual car?” It’s light, compact, i-Size compliant, and quick to fit, so parents don’t feel they’re taking a risk just because they’re not in their main car. That’s the real appeal: proper safety, but portable. Add in the Maxi-Cosi name and people click “add to basket” faster, because they already know the brand from pushchairs or their first baby seat.
Maxi-Cosi RodiFix AirProtect ISOFIX Car Seat Booster
Right behind it is the Maxi-Cosi RodiFix AirProtect ISOFIX Car Seat Booster. This is the one parents buy when their child isn’t a baby anymore but still needs proper head and belt positioning. UK buyers love that it goes from 15 to 36 kg—years of use—and that it attaches with ISOFIX, which makes it feel nice and solid in the car even when the child isn’t sitting in it. The “AirProtect” part is a big confidence booster too; it signals extra head protection, and side-impact is exactly what a lot of parents worry about on UK roads. Plus, because it looks a bit more “grown-up”, kids accept it more easily.
Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix i-Size Baby Car Seat (0–12 Months)
The classic baby choice: CabrioFix does well because it’s such an easy recommendation for new parents—safe, i-Size, lightweight, and from a brand midwives and friends actually mention. Many UK parents also like starting with a seat that can go on the stroller frame; CabrioFix has great travel-system compatibility, so you can take baby from car to pavement without waking them. The Essential Black colour helps too: it’s tidy, unisex, and looks good in pretty much every car, which is useful if you plan to pass it on to a sibling or cousin.
Maxi-Cosi Pearl 360 i-Size Baby Car Seat (Birth to 4 Years)
Our “clever” seat: Pearl 360 doesn’t win on price; it wins on daily comfort. UK parents love the 360° rotation because it makes school runs, rainy days, and tight parking spaces so much easier—you swivel the seat toward you, strap the child in without twisting yourself, and swivel back. It’s i-Size, supports extended rear-facing (which more UK parents now look for), and it’s part of the Maxi-Cosi 360 family—so if you already have (or plan to get) the base, it just makes sense. It’s the seat people buy when they’re thinking, “Let’s get something good that will last to about four.”
At a Glance
- Nomad Plus = “we travel; we need something portable, but still safe”

That’s why Maxi-Cosi continues to be our bestselling brand: there’s a solution at every stage under the same name. Parents buy once, have a good experience, then stay with Maxi-Cosi for the next seat instead of starting the research all over again.
