Maxi-Cosi recalled all FamilyFix Slide Pro bases after a malfunctioning safety indicator could allow the baby car seat to detach from the base. The indicator is intended to show whether the seat is correctly fitted, but it may display green even when the seat is not fully attached. This can lead users to believe the seat is properly connected when it is not. If the seat moves or detaches, the occupant could be injured. The product does not meet General Product Safety Regulations 2005 requirements. The recall covers bases manufactured in China between 6 September 2025 and 24 March 2026. Users are told to stop using the product immediately and check eligibility by entering the model reference and manufacturing date on the Maxi-Cosi website.
"Maxi-Cosi is recalling all of its FamilyFix Slide Pro bases from buyers, information on the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) website shows. The baby car seat could detach from the base as a result of the malfunctioning indicator, and users are advised to stop using the product immediately, according to the recall alert. 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, the alert says."
