Comfy but hot
We got peri 180 because it’s easier to seat baby in and it comes to our bugaboo stroller. It’s not light like it says on website but only things we don’t like that kid in car seat get hot so fast . The back of baby is hot because air doesn’t go through. Only thing I concern about. For this price the company has to do something better

Maxi Cosi Peri Car seat
The Maxi-Cosi Peri 180 rotating infant car seat is absolutely wonderful, and I feel extremely safe putting my newborn in it! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I had the opportunity to try this seat, and I’m beyond impressed. The first thing that struck me was how incredibly lightweight and beautiful it is. It feels high quality and looks great in my car. As a first-time parent, I was a little nervous about installation, but it was a breeze—I was able to do it myself with ease. I particularly appreciate the red-green indicator on the base, which reassured me that I had tightened it sufficiently, as well as the load leg that adds an extra layer of safety. The magnetic chest clip is another standout feature, making it simple and hassle-free to secure my baby. But my all-time favorite feature? The rotating seat—it’s an absolute game changer! Getting my little one in and out has never been easier. Overall, this seat has exceeded my expectations in both safety and convenience, and I’m now a huge fan of Maxi-Cosi.

Safety and Functionality
The Maxi Cosi Peri 180 Rotating car seat marries functionality and user friendly features with all the safety features you see on the market today. To start, my husband installed the car seat within 3 minutes. Although it probably isn’t necessary, the red to green indicator on the base of the car seat was pretty helpful in giving the confidence that the seat had been installed properly and also the stand that extends to the ground gave added stability and safety that we look for in our 7 month olds car seat. We wanted this car seat for the 180 degree rotating feature and boy it does not disappoint. Gone are the days of having the awkwardly put baby in and out of the seat. Now to get going on a car ride, we simply swivel the car seat towards the door and place her in, buckle her up and swivel it back in place. There is a locked/unlocked indicator that is helpful to make sure you’ve swiveled the seat back into the safe position for driving. The harness to strap her in is probably the easiest we’ve had to strap her in to any car seat, stroller or any sitting item we own. And the most important positive feature of all is that out usually fussy 7 month old who does not like riding in her old car seat, has sat happily content in the Maxi Cosi Peri a few times now - no tears car rides are priceless. I think the seat provides a nice amount of space and positioning for baby’s body (my daughter is 30% in weight and 80% in height for reference). The only thing I would change about the car seat is for there to be nicer materials used. The harness seems to be a cheaper lightweight plastic and the fabric, while soft and probably comfortable, is not aesthetically pleasing. Nevertheless, a safe and comfortable baby outweighs my desire for prettier aesthetics. I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Super lightweight
I enjoyed using the Maxi-Cosi Peri 180° Rotating Infant Car Seat. I like how lightweight the car seat is and appreciate the rotating function for easily getting my baby in and out of the car. The rotating feature is a smart design because it is useful for making adjustments to my baby’s seat straps or doing a quick clean without having to take her out of the car seat since she can face me while I am standing at the car door. Also, I find it easier to not have to bend my arm or awkwardly clip in my rear facing baby since the seat rotates towards me. Installation was easy and the green indicator was helpful because I knew that I installed the seat accurately and safely. One feature that would be helpful is knowing which way to rotate the seat since it is a 180° turn. Also, it would be nice for the carseat to have seat belt inserts at the side so that I can rest the seatbelts when the car seat is not in use. This way, I won’t need to dig for the belt when putting my baby in the seat. I experienced some trouble with the seat belt tightening and loosening but after using the seat a few times, it became easier. Overall my favorite feature of the car seat is how light it is because as my baby continues growing it is tough to carry her in the car seat. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant item.

Great Safety Features
I've been using the Maxi-Cosi Peri Rotating Infant seat from their Kindred collection. The most important aspects for me were safety, flame-retardant free and lightweight. This seat goes above and beyond for all of those thingsQ Safety: red/green indicator for install as well as step by step, numbered, east to read instructions on the base. There are only a few infant seats on the market that boast flame retardant free, and this is one of them! Lastly, not only is this seat lightweight, but the majority of the dead weight baby lifting in and out of the seat is compensated for by being able to rotate towards you. This came in handy immensely during the cold months, being able to move my infant easily and quickly from her warm seat into a baby carrier without having to lift her around. For many, that is a huge safety improvement, minimizing drop or injury potential. Facing baby also helps with proper harness fit, as does the non-rethread shoulder harness adjustment. Lastly, the Kindred Collection is very high end and beautiful. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test this infant item!

Parent Friendly Innovation A thorough review
I received the car seat through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! Regardless of receiving it as a panel test, The Maxi-Cosi Peri 180° Rotating Infant Car Seat is a true standout! From the moment we unboxed it, we were impressed by its sleek, modern design and high-quality, flame-retardant free materials. The 180° FlexiSpin rotation feature is a game-changer, making it incredibly easy to get your little one in and out of the seat—especially helpful for parents with back issues or in tight spaces. As I have sciatica, it has been a real life saver. Installation is a breeze with the TensionFix system, ensuring a secure fit without the usual belt tension issues. The no-rethread harness and magnetic chest clip make adjustments quick and easy, providing a perfect, comfortable fit for your child every time. My daughter is comfortable and doesn’t seem to mind the transition into the seat. The red-to-green indicator is a reassuring feature, giving parents peace of mind that the seat is correctly installed. We loved the lightweight design, cozy snug padding, and ergonomic features that keep the baby comfortable and secure during every ride. The adjustable headrest and recline options are great for accommodating your growing child. My daughter grew out of the infant insert very quickly, so it is important to note that it is adjustable and you may need to adjust it sooner than other seats. The favorite feature for me, was definitely the 180° rotation, but the TensionFix system, red-to-green indicator, and no-rethread harness also are great aspects. These thoughtful innovations make the Maxi-Cosi Peri a top choice for parents seeking safety, convenience, and peace of mind. The Maxi-Cosi Peri 180° Rotating Infant Car Seat is a must-have for any parent. Its stylish design, innovative features, and exceptional user experience make it highly recommended. Get one!

Great Convenience with Minor Stability Concerns
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant item to try! After using the Maxi-Cosi Peri™ 180° Rotating Infant Car Seat for a few days, I have a mix of positive impressions and some concerns. First, I really appreciate the 180° rotation feature—it makes getting my little one in and out of the car so much easier. The magnetic chest clip is another standout feature, as it simplifies securing my baby without the usual hassle of traditional clips. One of my absolute favorite aspects of this car seat is the magnetic sun/bug cover, which is both convenient and practical for extra protection. However, my biggest concern is the connection between the car seat and its base. Unlike other car seats I’ve used, this one seems to have a bit more movement when secured, which makes me question its overall stability. While it doesn’t feel unsafe, I expected a more solid, no-wiggle fit. I plan to check for other user experiences regarding this issue to see if it's a common concern. Overall, the car seat offers great features and a stylish design, but I would love to see improvements in how securely it attaches to the base.

Awful and frustrating design
This car seat and travel system is heavy, bulky and isn't exactly user friendly. Too many small pieces to misplace or lose that are required for usage luring you in to buy more from them, the car seat stopped latching into the base not even a year into using it, the stroller is difficult to open and collapse. This might possibly be one of the worst designs I've come across and I personally believe it's too overpriced for what it is. Let me save you the frustration and tell you to go with some other system.

Response from doreljuvenile-maxicosi
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that the travel system hasn’t met your expectations — especially with the issues you described around weight, folding, and the car seat no longer latching into the base. That’s understandably frustrating, and it’s not the experience we want for any family. We’d really appreciate the chance to take a closer look and help troubleshoot what’s going on with the car seat and base. Our team can also walk through the stroller setup to make sure everything is functioning the way it should. Please feel free to reach out to our Consumer Care Team at 1-800-544-1108 so we can assist you directly and work toward a solution.
