Maxi-Cosi Emerald 360 Pro review

Living / 15 December, 2025 / Ellie Thompson

If you’ve ever found yourself twisting, lifting or wrestling a toddler into a car seat while the clock is ticking, you’re not alone. Getting little ones in and out of the car is one of the most overlooked daily battles of parenthood, and Maxi-Cosi’s brand-new Emerald 360 Pro promises to change that for good.

This premium car seat is designed to last from birth to age 12, evolving from a rear-facing infant seat into a forward-facing highback booster as your child grows. Instead of buying multiple car seats over the years, the Emerald 360 Pro adapts at every stage, offering a secure, comfortable fit from the newborn days to big-kid adventures.

SlideTech®: The Feature Every Parent Will Love

What really sets this seat apart is its breakthrough SlideTech® technology, the first and only slide-and-spin car seat suitable from birth to 12 years.

With one smooth motion, the seat swivels towards you and slides out, bringing your child closer so you can buckle them in without leaning, twisting or straining your back. Anyone recovering from birth, managing back pain, or juggling multiple kids will immediately understand what a total game-changer this is.

The “easy-in” harness adds another level of sanity-saving convenience, holding the straps open so you’re no longer untangling them while your toddler tries to escape.

Premium Safety for Peace of Mind

Maxi-Cosi has long been recognised as a leader in child car seat safety, and the Emerald 360 Pro stays true to that reputation. The seat is built with advanced G-CELL side impact protection and AirProtect® safety cushions. These work together within a strong, reinforced shell to help absorb impact forces in the event of a collision. Every element is engineered to reduce the risk of injury and provide the highest possible level of protection. It’s this commitment to innovation and safety that gives parents complete confidence every time they buckle their child in.

Made for Naps, Long Journeys and Everything In Between

The seat includes five recline positions, perfect for little ones who love to snooze on the go. Pair that with ClimaFlow ventilation for better airflow, and you have a car seat designed to keep children cool, comfortable and supported all year round.

A Car Seat That Looks as Good as It Performs

This is one of Maxi-Cosi’s most stylish designs to date. The Emerald 360 Pro pairs luxury materials with touches of gold, copper or gunmetal trim, contrast stitching and even wooden detailing. It’s modern, beautifully considered and looks right at home in a premium family car.

The Emerald 360 Pro is a brilliant long-term investment for families. With its extended age range, exceptional safety credentials and truly innovative SlideTech® technology, it takes the stress out of everyday school runs and weekend adventures.

For anyone searching for a seat that is future-proof, beautifully made and genuinely easier to use, the Emerald 360 Pro deserves a place at the top of your list. RRP: £399.99.
