Installation The best place to fit your newborn car seat is the rear middle seat of your car. The next best place to install your newborn car seat/infant carrier is behind the passenger; this can be done if the middle seat doesn’t have ISOFIX anchors or a three-point seat belt for fixing the car seat in place. We don’t recommend it, but if you need to install the baby car seat in the front passenger seat, be sure to always deactivate the passenger airbag before doing so.As part of the 360 Family, the Pearl 360 can be used from 3 months up to 4 years old. A perfectly comfortable and safe rotating car seat that is built for long-term use. Thanks to the 360° rotation handle on the base (sold separately), the Pearl 360 can be rotated smoothly and easily in any recline position. Super convenient for you, super comfortable for your baby. There are two ways in which you can install your newborn car seat: with an ISOFIX base or with your car’s seatbelt. At Maxi-Cosi, we always recommend using an ISOFIX base to install your baby car seat. It minimises the risk of incorrect installation and provides a solid connection to your car. Don’t worry if you don’t have ISOFIX anchors in your car, installation with a belt is just as safe if you follow the instructions included in the manual. The FamilyFix 360 Pro base can be used from birth up to 4 years old when used with compatible car seats. The Pebble 360 Pro infant car seat offers maximum sleep comfort for your little one, from birth up to approximately 15 months old (40 - 87cm). When your baby is more than 15 months old, you can switch to the compatible toddler seat, the Pearl 360 Pro and use it up to 4 years of age. Pearl 360 Pro can either be used directly from birth with a comfy newborn-inlay (sold as a separate accessory) or from 3 months up to 4 years old. However, this will depend on whether your local recycling centre has facilities to separate hard or rigid plastics from other materials. It's worth calling the local recycling tip to see if it offers this service, otherwise it may have to go into landfill.

FamilyFix 360 Pro features FlexiSpin, a 360 ° rotational system that enables Pebble 360 Pro and Pearl 360 Pro to easily rotate using only one hand in any reclined position.Pebble 360 Pro is TUV aircraft approved, which means it is allowed to travel with your baby by airplane, in all recline positions. i-Size is becoming pretty familiar lingo in the car seat world now, but for those of you who are still a little hazy, i-Size in essence means a safer (side impact protected) seat for your little one that is easy to install (via ISOfix) and that meets the latest safety standards. Following the i-Size or R129 regulations, it is a requirement for children to rear face in a car seat until at least 15 months old. Rather than focusing on age or weight, i-Size uses the length of a child to determine when they need to change position or seat.
