The Maxi Cosi Pebble Pro i-Size is an exceptional infant car seat that exceeds basic safety requirements to provide advanced protection for little passengers. With its easy installation, deluxe comfort features, and sleek, elegant design, the Pebble Pro offers both style and substance. Though on the pricier end, the seat's premium quality and advanced engineering make it a worthwhile investment for safety-focused parents.

Key Features

• Ergonomic infant insert - The 2-part insert provides tailored support for baby's head, neck and body. The padded materials and near-flat position give superior comfort.
• Adjustable harness - The 5-point harness can be easily adjusted in height and length as baby grows. The harness straps spring open for quick access.
• Breathable fabrics - The seat cover is made from soft, breathable fabrics to keep baby comfortable in any weather. It's also machine washable for easy cleaning.
• Built-in side impact protection - Extra cushioning lines the shell to absorb force and protect baby's head and neck in the event of a collision.
• Compatible with Maxi Cosi strollers - The Pebble Pro clicks right onto Maxi Cosi and many other brand strollers to form a travel system.
• i-Size compliant - Designed to meet the newest European safety standards (R129), including enhanced side impact protection. When installed with the i-Size FamilyFix base, the Pebble Pro offers maximum safety

Installation

Installing the Pebble Pro is simple with the FamilyFix i-Size base. The base clips securely into the car's ISOFIX anchors and has an easy one-click attachment. The seat can also be installed using the car's seat belt, but this won't be i-Size compliant.

The FamilyFix base has sensor lights that let you know when the seat is properly locked in place, so you can be sure it's correctly and securely installed every time. No more second guessing or struggling!

Comfort & Convenience

With its plush padding and ergonomic infant insert, the Pebble Pro provides exceptional comfort for newborns and growing babies. The insert supports baby's head and neck while allowing optimal breathing and blood circulation.

For parents, the easy in harness makes strapping baby in a cinch. The buckle releases with one hand, and the harness springs open automatically. The handles, smooth carry handle and relatively light weight (4.9 kg) also make the Pebble Pro easy to transport.

Safety

As an i-Size car seat, the Pebble Pro is held to the most stringent safety testing in Europe. It protects even better than seats that simply meet the minimum standards. Key safety features include:

• Full side impact protection with shock-absorbing foam
• Anti-rebound protection that reduces rebound forces
• Durable shell and energy-absorbing frame
• 5-point harness with adjustable straps
• Newborn insert for proper positioning

Installation with the ISOFIX base gives peace of mind that the seat is perfectly secured and minimizes driver error.

Style & Design

Available in 3 toned-down colors, the Pebble Pro features a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. The shell is smoothly contoured with no awkward angles. Fabric accents add visual interest while remaining neutral enough to match any car interior.

At 39 x 46 x 65 cm, the seat is moderately sized for an infant carrier. The sun canopy is on the small side and may not offer much shade. But overall the Pebble Pro combines smart safety with simple, elegant design.

Final Thoughts

The Maxi Cosi Pebble Pro i-Size surpasses basic safety requirements to offer advanced protection for little passengers. Easy installation, deluxe comfort features and a smart aesthetic make this a parent and baby-friendly infant seat.

While it sits at a premium price point, the Pebble Pro is a worthwhile investment for safety and security. For parents wanting the very best for their child, the Pebble Pro is an excellent choice.
