Anyone using the maxi cosi pebble or pebble plus paired with the 2wayfix base?
Saw this online and it seems a bit loose? Or is this the norm for all car seat/base configurations?


Can't understand the language  sweat.gif

p.s. new to all these stuff, the whole setup looks a tad 'tall' to me, again is this the norm? The pebble supposedly can be switched to the larger maxi cosi pearl... will the whole thing even fit into my crv's back seat?
I'm supposed to isofix this into the middle seat right?

TQ in advance.

I own a maxi cosi baby carrier.

it is a good investment as it can convert to a stroller carrier by using quinny stroller.

and durable as well. been using for 8 months n still using it till today if my baby is sleeping whenever I eat out.

are you using the seat base with the cabrio fix?
if not, is it easy to get it fastened with the seat belt?
i'm considering this but the price of the seat base is more that the seat itself
i'm expecting my kid to be doing a lot of travelling and would like a solution which is convenient, safe and comfortable

Anyone try to fit 2 car seat into the sedan's backseat?

I'm having a second one soon and I just can't seem to think of any possible solution. My first child was barely 1 year and can't seat at the front seat.

what's the problem of fitting 2 car seats at the backseat? you have plenty of space with 1 car seat on each side. But surely the middle seat will be very tight.

I mean, logically I have to be sitting behind as well to take care of the fussing baby and the toddler. If I'm sitting in front, is hard to do anything at all.

I fit 2 car seats in my Sylphy. The middle seat is a little tight but it's still acceptable for short drives. Long drives it's tiring. You need a wider car or a bigger car/mpv. Time for an upgrade

Maybe I'm able to answer your questions as I own all Maxi-Cosi 2wayfix base + Pebble Plus + 2WayPearl + Quinny Buzz Xtra to create the "baby carrier system" biggrin.gif

The "loose" part is expected... the ISOFIX and carseat lock is quite basic. There are two metal rod underneath the car seat which will be used to support the locking mechanism on the 2wayfix base. So when docking onto the base, the lock will actually "go around" the metal road to secure lock... so it's alright if it's "loose"...

I'm driving VW Passat and the only seat to adjust is front passenger seat... because 2WayPearl takes up alot of space especially when the car seat is in tilt onto 45degree (or lesser). Tall? Not really... I'm sure it will fit your CRV.

Not middle seat. I don't think there's ISOFIX hook at the center of the seat.

If you stay nearby PJ or Subang area, I don't mind bringing all the car seat and meet you up if you intend to get 1...


Note*: Unfortunately 2WayPearl do not support safety belt system so the only way you can use is to pair with 2WayFix base... That's the disadvantage of the car seat...

Agree, Maxi-Cosi car seat is very convenience if you pair it with Quinny Stroller... My only regret is I choose Pebble Plus over CabrioFix...

To all the parents who interested in Maxi-Cosi Group0 car seat... Please know your baby preference!!!

Pebble Plus - Safety > Comfort
CabrioFix - Comfort > Safety (Please do not misunderstand, i'm not saying it's not safe)

Basically the space within Pebble Plus (Not sure about Pebble as I do not own one) is quite narrow so if you have a big size baby, he/she might not feel comfortable... My baby cried badly when we put her in Pebble Plus sad.gif Sakit hati ohhh.... Should have gotten CabrioFix to give her some space... So in the end, I did not use my Pebble car seat that much... sweat.gif

Personally, I deliberately trained my kids to sit at the back while hubby and I always sit in front, because what if I'm the only one with my kids? Then can never go out at all? By training them to be used to sitting at the back without their parents, I can drive my kids just me and the kids to the doctor, or whatever emergency, if necessary.

When we have kids, our entire lifestyle changes, right? Our driving style also has to change. While the kids are in the screaming-hate-the-carseat-but-cannot-understand-why-it's-important phase, I try to keep our driving distances short. I even open up Waze or Google Maps and plan stops for every 20 minutes, in case they need a break from screaming (by getting them to rest from screaming every 20 minutes, you prevent vomiting).

Biar lambat asalkan selamat, is the Malay phrase. Take your time driving, and stop as frequently as necessary. I make sure to take my kids out in the car every day, even at the same time every day, whenever possible, so they know being in the carseat is just part of the daily routine.

That being said, it's actually possible to put 3 carseats in a row, if you have the time and money to import the carseats narrow enough to fit the space, with the required installments (for example, if you have only a 2-pt lapbelt in the middle, most rear-facing American carseats will suit, but the only European carseat I know of that can be used is the Graco Nautilus, which is front-facing only).

The most famous 3-in-a-row carseat brands are Diono, Clek and Combi (USA versions). If you have a 3-pt shoulder-and-lap belt in the middle, you have many more options, even local. SNSkidz has shown that they can install 2 SNSkidz Star and 1 SNSkidz Pro in the back of a VW Passat!

No adult should sit beside a carseat without using a 3-pt SHOULDER-and-lap belt. It's very dangerous, because without the shoulder restraint in an accident, the adult's head will fly forward and smash into the carseat, bleeding and dying all over the child. A family friend's wife died this way.

Hi Guys,

Not sure this has been asked before but any good car seat recommendation with ISOFIX < RM1500 which is of good quality/durability/comfort?

I plan to mount it on my Accord.
I initially plan to go for the Britax first class Zebra edition but to my dismay it doesn't support ISOFIX so it's back to the drawing board again.

Little Whiz having sale currently and here's all their isofix seats: http://www.littlewhiz.com/cat-isofix-latch-car-seat.cfm Best to go to the shop and test fixing to your car. From what I understand, rear-facing using isofix doesn't suit all cars. If you're putting a newborn into the carseat, best to test before you buy, to confirm that the angle is correct for baby. You want a newborn to be at a 45 degree angle exactly for maximum safety. But if your baby already has head control, then the angle not so important, because they can correct their own head so can breathe properly.

Anyone using Aldo hidalgo here? Can't seem to get it really tight on my car. There's also no manual or video online that I could find. Not sure if I'm doing it wrong.

I've never personally used Aldo carseats myself, but I've been told that Aldo Hidalgo comes with a lockoff. The picture attached is what Aldo's lockoff is supposed to look like.

More about using locking clips and lockoffs: Using A Locking Clip. If you have lost the lockoff, you can buy a different locking clip instead. Singapore sells two versions: http://www.taxibaby.sg/store/p2/Premium_locking_clip.html

I'm more worried that you don't have the car seat manual though, because a car seat may not work properly unless used exactly the way the manufacturer has tested it in their crash tests. Did you buy your aldo new or used? Can you try asking the shop you bought from for a copy of the manual, or at least contact detail of the supplier so you can ask the supplier for a copy?
