A product recall alert has been issued for a baby car seat product, with people advised to stop using it “immediately”. Maxi-Cosi is recalling all its Family Fix Slide Pro Base seats from buyers, according to recall information on the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS).
It warns the baby car seat poses “risk of injuries” to children because of a malfunctioning safety indicator. The baby car seat could risk detaching from the base as a result of the malfunctioning indicator, the recall alert said. “The product presents a risk of injuries because the indicator, which shows whether the seat is correctly fitted, may display ‘green’ even when the car seat is not fully attached to the base,” recall information on the OPSS website reads.
“As a result, a user may believe the seat is properly connected when it is not.
“This could cause the seat to move or detach, potentially injuring the occupant.”
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, according to the OPSS.
Maxi-Cosi is recalling products manufactured in China between September 6 last year and March 24 2026.
“Your child’s safety drives every decision we make at Maxi-Cosi, and in keeping with our deep dedication to you and your family, we want to make you aware of a voluntary recall affecting your product,” a statement on the brand’s website reads.
“During a recent user test conducted as part of our continuous improvement efforts to enhance ease of use, we identified a potential misuse scenario involving a visual indicator on our new Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix base.
“We have initiated a voluntary product recall as part of our ongoing commitment to the highest possible standards of child safety, product quality, and ease of use.”
Users are urged to check their product by entering the product model reference and manufacturing date on the brand’s website.
The manufacturing date can be found on the white label on the underside of the base, according to Maxi-Cosi.
This reference number should contain 10 digits.
