Voluntary Recall Notice: Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix Slide Pro Base

Important Information for Families

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 our FamilyFix Slide Pro base.

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.

This indicator on the base may be disrupted if the car seat is not removed in the intended way. If this occurs, the indicator may not function as expected during the next installation. This may mean that although the indicator is green, the car seat is only partially connected to the base.

We have initiated a voluntary product recall out of an abundance of caution as part of our ongoing commitment to the highest possible standards of child safety, product quality, and ease of use. A permanent design improvement to prevent this potential misuse has already been implemented for all future production. Existing bases are being reworked to incorporate the update as well. Bases that have been corrected will have a green sticker applied to indicate that they have been updated and are safe to use.

WHAT PARENTS SHOULD KNOW
Importantly, this situation:

• Does not occur in all cases
• Does not prevent the car seat from being correctly and securely attached to the base once the connection is reset

• Does not result in the car seat detaching from the base
No incidents or injuries have been reported related to this issue.

WHAT PARENTS SHOULD DO

1) Please check whether your FamilyFix Slide Pro base is affected by entering your product model reference number and manufacturing date in the checker below.

2) If your product is affected, please complete the form so we can arrange a replacement base for you at no cost.


You should expect to receive your replacement base within 3 -5 business days of the submission of your request.

3) While waiting for your replacement base, it is possible to continue to use the compatible car seats safely by:
a) Manually double checking the attachment at both the front and back of the car seat to ensure it is properly secured to the base at each installation, rather than relying solely on the visual indicator. The handle at the front of the base can be re-released to reset the attachment if necessary. 
b) Installing your Coral Slide Pro or Pebble Slide Pro using the vehicle’s seat belt. 


Check your product:

Please enter your product model reference (Ref) and manufacturing date (Date) below. You'll find the manufacturing date on the label on the underside of the base at the white label. See examples below:

We understand that recalls can be concerning, and we are committed to clear, transparent
communication and to supporting families throughout this process.

Why are we issuing this recall?
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 the visual indicator that confirms the car seat is properly connected to the base.

At Maxi-Cosi, every decision begins and ends with the safety of your child. We hold ourselves to standards that go well beyond regulatory requirements and are committed to acting with transparency, speed, and care—even when a potential misuse, however unlikely, is identified. Although the likelihood of this misuse scenario occurring is low, we are issuing this voluntary recall to uphold our unwavering commitment to the highest possible standards of child safety, product quality, and ease of use.

What is the potential misuse scenario exactly?
A visual indicator on the base may be disrupted if the car seat is not detached in the intend-ed way. If this occurs, the indicator may not function as expected during the following in-stallation. This may mean that although the indicator is green, the car seat could potentially not be properly connected to the base.

Is it safe to continue using my existing FamilyFix Slide Pro Base?
While waiting for your replacement base, it is possible to continue to use the compatible car seats safely by:
a) Manually double checking the attachment at both the front and back of the car seat to ensure it is properly secured to the base at each installation, rather than relying solely on the visual indicator. The handle at the front of the base can be re-released to reset the attachment if necessary. 
b) Install their Coral Slide Pro or Pebble Slide Pro using the vehicle’s seat belt. 

Have there been any injuries, incidents, or consumer complaints reported?
No. At Maxi-Cosi, child safety drives every decision we make. In line with this commitment, we have initiated this voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution.

What is the level of risk?
The scope is limited solely to the indicator’s ability to accurately reflect lock status in these specific situations. The integrity of the base and its locking system remain intact when used and checked correctly.
Importantly, this potential misuse:
• Does not prevent the car seat from being correctly and securely attached to the base if the connection is reset
• Does not affect the underlying locking mechanism, which continues to function as designed
• Does not occur in all cases

Can you confirm the issue has been resolved?
Yes. A permanent design improvement to prevent this indicator-related misuse has been identified and is already implemented in all future production. Existing stock is being re-worked to incorporate this update.

Will Maxi-Cosi replace my base?
Yes. All affected customers will receive a replacement at no cost. We are committed to making this process quick and simple. Once you contact us, we will arrange for your re-placement base to be sent as soon as possible.

How long will it take to receive my replacement base?
You should expect to receive your replacement base within 3-5 business days of the submission of your request.
