July 2015 marks 7 full years of CarseatBlog.com! Can you believe it?!? In some ways it seems like not so long ago that we began blogging about carseats, child passenger safety and vehicle safety. And in other ways it feels like we’ve been doing this forever… Lol!
Along the way we’ve shared some laughs, made some great friends, written about 1,245 blog posts and oh, yeah – reviewed over 100 carseats and boosters!
Whether you’re new to CarseatBlog.com or have been with us since the start in 2008 – we’d like to share our celebration (and our cake!) with you. You are the reason we’re still here 7 years later, still blogging away, always looking for ways to improve our content and better serve our readers.
The field of Child Passenger Safety is just starting to heat up and take off, and we have a lot of great things planned for the near future. We can’t wait to see all the awesome advances in safety, technology and innovation that the next 7 years is going to bring us. We hope you stick around and enjoy the ride with us!
During the next 7 weeks we’re going to be celebrating by giving away some really great carseats so stay tuned! Each week will feature a new giveaway promotion and your odds of winning something are pretty darn good. Consider it a personal “thank you” from Darren, Heather, Kecia, Jennie, Alicia, Andrea and all of our guest bloggers at CarseatBlog!
To kickoff our Blogiversary Celebration we’ve partnered with our generous sponsor, Maxi-Cosi, to offer one beautiful, new Pria 85 Convertible. The winner will have their choice of available Pria 85 fashions – Devoted Black, Passionate Pink or Brilliant Navy!
This promotion is now closed. Thank you for participating – a winner will be announced shortly!
The Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 is an excellent convertible seat for older babies (who weigh at least 14 lbs.) and for extended rear-facing. It offers good rear-facing leg room, great padding, Air Protect® Side Impact Technology and a cover that you can toss in the washer and dryer! In the forward-facing position, it’s a tall seat with great leg support that will last many kids until they’re old enough and mature enough to safely transition to a belt-positioning booster. Our complete review of the Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 can be found HERE. We think highly of the Pria 85 and it’s on our list of Recommended Seats!

- Rear-facing: 14-40 lbs., 40″ or less, top of child’s head must be below top of the headrest
- Forward-facing: 22-85 lbs., at least 1 year old, up to 52″ tall

That pink one looks so pretty. I’m sure dh would loooove to have that in his truck. ;p
Big fan of the possibility of the ten year expiration date.
I love that the cover is machine washable!!
Was just out browsing for a new car seat today. Would be awesome to win one of these for Lil’ P!
Would love this!
Great quality!
LOVE maxi cosi! I have one for my oldest and would love a new one for my youngest!
I love our maxi-cosi car seat!
Amazing giveaway!!
This would be amazing to win. I love everything about this seat!
this looks pretty awesome! Ive been looking for a good convertible carseat that will fit into my compact car 🙂
Everything about this car seat is great – the comfortable padding, the ease of use, the safety, even the colors are great!
We need one!!
I would love to win! We have a Britax Marathon and even though it has the velcro to hold the straps, it rarely works and I’m always fighting with the straps behind my daughter. The strap holders and cup holder would be such a big help!
Would love to win this for my youngest.
We haven’t owned this brand, but the safety features look great and the seats appear fashionable and comfortable,
Absolutely love maxi cosi seats with 3 kids and trying many diff seats I can honestly say they r the best. My son is 18mo and only 19lbs so this would be perfect.
Just had #2 and trying to figure out the best car seats as our oldest transitions to a harness Booster (or this car seat, since the height limits are so good!)
This would be perfect for my niece! She is transitioning to a toddler seat!!
I like that it’s a well reputed brand, and that it has side impact cushions. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you for all that you do. I seriously consult your website all. the. time. Love you guys, Happy birthday!
Looks so comfortable!
I could really use one of these in a few months.
Would love to have this car seat!
love Maxi Cosi! The fabric and quality are amazing.
Our daughter loves her Pria 70! (And we do too!) Baby #2 will be here in the fall and we will be getting another Maxi-Cosi for her too. It would be even better if we won one for her!
