Yes, it complies with the latest and safest EU R129/03 regulation, meaning Emerald 360 Pro fits in all i-Size compliant cars.
Can I install the Emerald 360 Pro without the ISOFIX connectors?
For children up to approximately 4 years old, the product must be installed using the ISOFIX connectors and support leg, when used with the integrated harness. For children aged 4 years up to 12 years old, the car seat belt needs to be used. Even then, we recommend continuing to use the ISOFIX connectors for increased stability. Colour-coded indicators make it clear whether the seat is correctly installed or not.

Yes, the Newborn inlay is included. With the Newborn inlay, you can use this product from birth, without needing to buy an extra infant car seat. It is specifically developed to protect your baby from birth (40 cm) up to 75 cm.
How can I use the Newborn inlay?
The cocooning Newborn inlay must be used from 40 – 60 cm. From 60 – 75 cm, you can continue to use the inlay for as long as you like until your baby has outgrown it. The Newborn inlay remains in one piece, so there’s no risk of losing parts.
When do I need to switch to the forward-facing position?
You can switch to the forward-facing position from 15 months/76 cm. At Maxi-Cosi, we recommend travelling with your child in the rearward-facing position for as long as possible (up to 4 years/105 cm/17 kg), as research shows this is the safest way of travelling with children. If your child is more than 17 kg, you need to use the forward-facing position with the car seat belt and store away the harness and support leg.
When using the car seat in booster mode with the car seat belt, what should I do with the support leg?
When your child is over 100 cm or heavier than 17 kg, you can store away the harness and use the car seat belt in booster mode up to 150 cm. It is mandatory to store the support leg away when using the car seat belt. Fold the support leg under the seat by pressing the buttons on the support leg to fold it in.
Should I remove the harness for Group 2/3 use?
There is no need to remove the harness entirely. When switching from harness to booster mode, the easy-in harness can be easily stored in the back of the car seat, without the need to remove the hip and shoulder pads. There’s no risk of losing separate parts.
When should I store the harness?
The harness can be used up to a maximum weight of 17 kg (approx. 4 years) and must be stored away afterwards. The car seat belt should be used from the age of 4 years onwards or when your child is heavier than 17 kg.
Where can I store my harness?
The harness, including the hip and shoulder pads, can be stored away behind the cover at the back of the seat. You can then remove one of the shoulder pads from the harness and attach it to the car seat belt. Please check the user manual or instruction video for more information.
Where can I store the buckle on my Emerald 360 Pro?
The buckle simply lies flat and integrates into the seat for easy storage, while the hip and shoulder pads can be stored in the backrest. Please check the user manual or instruction video for more information.
Can I rotate the Emerald 360 Pro on the base in any position?
Yes, when the car seat is in harness mode (rearward-facing and forward-facing), you can easily and safely rotate the seat in any position, from fully upright to fully reclined.
How do I operate the rotation function?
When the seat is in driving position, you can unlock the rotation with the handles on both sides. When the seat is in lateral position, you can simply rotate the seat with one hand without touching the handle.
What makes SlideTech® so unique?
Emerald 360 Pro features SlideTech®, an advanced sliding car seat technology that slides out of the car. This revolutionary technology allows a more comfortable child installation in the car, as it creates more space for parents allowing them to stand up straight when getting their child in and out of the car.
Do I always have to use SlideTech®?
The base with SlideTech® is fixed to the seat, but you can use the sliding function whenever you want to use it, as long as your child is using the car seat in seated harness mode.
How does SlideTech® work?
SlideTech® is the sliding car seat technology that the Emerald 360 Pro features. The bottom part of the base is attached by ISOFIX to the car, the rotating part physically moves out of the car. This makes it quicker and easier for parents to lift their children in and out of their car seats, without straining their backs or bumping their heads.
How do I operate SlideTech®?
The Emerald 360 Pro can easily slide out of the car by rotating the car 90 degrees (facing the child towards you) and pulling the car seat towards you. No additional button operation is needed to activate the sliding function. You can choose to hold the handle in the centre with one hand or grasp both sides with two hands, whichever feels best for you.
What is G-CELL Side Impact Protection?
G-CELL is our side impact protection system. An integrated safety system that is always activated and spreads the force of the impact over the entire structure of the car seat in the event of a side impact. Users do not have to perform any additional action to install or activate the functionality, preventing it from being used incorrectly and preventing it from interfering with the interior of the car or other passengers.
How does G-CELL Side Impact Protection work?
The structure of G-CELL technology is built into various parts of the car seat, including the side panels and headrest. The technology provides your child's car seat with secure coverage for side impact protection in 3 steps:
1. The precisely designed panels in the headrest and side panels divert G-forces.
2. The high-quality materials used in our car seats absorb the force of the impact in the event of a collision.
3. The specially designed geometry puts your child's head in the safest zone of the headrest and provides maximum protection.
What is the easy-in harness?
Maxi-Cosi's 5-point safety harness with easy-in feature makes getting your child in and out of the seat easy. You will notice that when you unbuckle the harness, the shoulder pads will spring upwards and stay up to make room for installing your baby and toddler. When switching from harness to booster mode, the easy-in harness can be stored in the back of the car seat, without the need to remove the hip and shoulder pads. No risk of losing separate parts.
How tight should I fasten the safety harness system?
To fasten the harness correctly, it is key to restrain the child well in the Emerald 360 Pro car seat. You need to pull the harness adjuster strap until the harness is close to the child's body. If the harness is tight enough, you should only be able to pass 1 finger between your child's body and the harness strap.
