Chest Strap Covers Need Re-Design
We LOVE the thoughtful design of all 8 of our Maxi Cosi car seats that we have had over the years... BUT... For the arrival of our 4th baby we got two of the Emme seats and I was so excited to have a rotating car seat. However, my by brand new 4 week old baby has his hands and wrists scraped to the point of bleeding each time he is in these seats from the sharp edges of the velcro on the chest strap covers. For the longest time I couldn't figure out what was cutting him up - because who expects the car seat to cause that?!? Once we figured it out, we tried everything to remove the sharp edges, but I can't cut the sharp parts down since it is so close to the seam. Now my baby has long socks over his hands and arms in order to safely ride in his seat. For such an expensive seat, I expected better Human Factors engineering. I would rate the rest of this seat a 10/10, but this one issue caused injury and bleeding to my newborn. A simple design change to the same "Out-Of-The-Way" strap covers as the other Pria Max and Magellen Max seats would make a big difference. Also use snaps instead of velcro! That would make a world of difference.
