We purchased this as it was the next one up from the Pebble infant carrier that came with our travel system. I find the spin and new slide out option helpful with getting my child in and out of the seat and our child finds it much more comfortable as it has more space and the recline or more upright position. He doesn't like being restrained but he is much happier in this than he was in the infant carrier and this does have the option of from birth with additional insert. The only the things that have contributed to being 4 star instead of 5 is that it isn't as smooth spinning around as the Pebble was and it is hard to do one handed when holding the child (using the spin handle and trying to move it round with one hand), it's a bit stiff. Also as it is bigger if you are sitting in the opposite passenger seat it wont spin / face towards me with the car door shut. Obviously this isn't for driving but is a helpful option when sitting in the back of the car feeding. But I guess this is just a factor from being a bigger seat than the infant carrier. I don't fit the base / seat, my husband does but he has found it is quite straightforward to do. We're very happy with the Maxi Cosi brand and have other items in our home.

Everything we want in order to give us the peace of mind that our child is safe and secure, as an added bonus she falls asleep within a minute of us setting off! This was not the case with our previous car seat.

The Pearl 360 Pro is so life-changing - particularly for me as I'm expecting! No more banging my boy's head (and mine!) and no more strain on my back and growing tummy. Absolutely essential, pregnant or not!

I am in love with this car seat. It looks super comfortable, easy to rotate and the airflow installation is brilliant. The neck support is a life safer.

Seat not the Best compared to the older pearl Baby seems to raised in seat Bit good east base and seat to install Very comfy seat

I have been using the Maxi-Cosi Pearl 360 Pro Car Seat for a month, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. This car seat offers exceptional comfort and safety features for my little one. The 360-degree rotation makes it incredibly convenient for getting my child in and out of the car without any hassle. The sleek and stylish design in Authentic Black adds a touch of elegance to my car's interior. I appreciate the advanced safety technology, including the innovative G-Cell side-impact protection, providing me with peace of mind during every journey. The seat's plush padding and adjustable headrest ensure a snug fit and maximum comfort for my child. Overall, the Maxi-Cosi Pearl 360 Pro Car Seat is a fantastic investment, combining safety, convenience, and style in one package. Highly recommended!

My son moved into this straight from his newborn capsule car seat at 7 months and he absolutely loves it! He is very big for his age but has plenty of space in this. He loves that he sits up higher in the car and can see out the window. The recline feature is perfect as he often falls asleep in the car and it stops his head falling forward and causing a sore neck! It has lots of padding so feels really comfortable and most importantly, safe! We use this with the isofix base which means we can rotate it and slide it out which is an absolute game changer. It's so easy to get him in and out of the car now. The straps are so easy to adjust which is great as I've had issues with this with other car seats. It was super quick and easy to install and remove if necessary. The instructions aren't great but there are videos online which are really helpful!

We have been using the Maxi-Cosi Pearl 360 Pro Car Seat for about week now and love it! Especially my 4 month old daughter! We originally had a different brand car seat and she hated it. She looked uncomfortable and scrunched up. But we have had no issues with the pearl. Because of the recline option, she doesn't have that scrunched look and just looks so much more comfortable. It also has the feature of 360 rotation making it easy to get her in and out with out those awkward lifts.

My daughter isn't sure on this seat, as it feels a bit small and she is only 14 months old. It feels like she is sat on the car seat rather than sat in it. The quality of the materials feels great and I love the air filter on the side of the head rest. It may just be something she needs to get used to, it could just be that it's a different seat and she isn't sure. The combination of this seat with the sliding base is the dream car seat for any parent. So fingers crossed it's just a case of learn to love for my little one.
