The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued a recall for all Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix Slide Pro bases, warning that a faulty safety indicator could cause the car seat to detach, posing injury risks to children.
The indicator, which is designed to show whether the seat is correctly fitted, may display green even when the seat is not fully attached to the base. This could lead users to believe the seat is properly connected when it is not, potentially causing the seat to move or detach during use.
The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. Maxi-Cosi is recalling bases manufactured in China between 6 September 2025 and 24 March 2026. Users are advised to stop using the product immediately and check their base using the model reference and manufacturing date on the company's website.
Sue Davies, head of consumer protection policy at Which?, said: 'It is incredibly concerning that Maxi-Cosi is recalling this car seat base due to a risk that it could cause the seat to move or detach during use.' She urged affected users to stop using the product and called for an investigation into how the issue occurred.
