It’s an adventure. Not just when we travel or have big plans for the day. Every day is an adventure. From sun up (yes that’s when they wake up) until sunset, it’s non stop crazy adventure in our day. There’s lots of joy but also a whole lot of bumps in the road. The logistics of our days are enough to make even the most adventurous person run and hide but we make it happen. And when things get extra crazy and hectic we laugh, because…what else is there to do right? Parenting is never perfect and none of our days are.

I’ve been parenting for almost a decade now and one of the most important things I’ve learned along the way is to give up the perfect and the expected and just enjoy the ride. Be prepared as you can, but expect the unexpected. Be ok with bumps in the road and enjoy the adventure.

One way we prepare for our every day adventures is with our carseats. Because whether it’s an adventure to the grocery store and local park or a 14 hours road trip (yes we have one of those coming up!), great carseats are key. Carseat safety has been important to me from the start of parenting and it’s something I have kept up with and kept an active interest in for the past 10 years since registering for my very first carseat. It’s amazing the new technology and new designs that have come out since my first seat.

Our newest seat in the car is the Maxi-Cosi PRIA Max 3-in-1 Convertible Car Seat. There’s a lot to love about this new seat. What’s most amazing to me about the PRIA Max 3-in-1 is that it can be the only seat you ever need. I can remember spending hours researching an infant seat when I registered for my baby shower only to find out months into my parenting journey I’d need another… then another. I think my oldest is in her 5th carseat right now. The PRIA 3-in-1 is built to grow with your child. And, most importantly, you can convert to new seat stages in seconds – which is about how fast it seems kids grow! The 3-in-1 conversion can switch from rear-facing (4-40 lbs.) to forward-facing (up to 65 lbs.) to booster seat (up to 100 lbs.) with the touch of a button. I’m so impressed with the safety features of this seat for all ages and also the ease of use that we will likely get another one in a few months for our new baby that’s arriving.

The PRIA Max 3-in-1 is made with premium fabrics that keep kids comfortable and hold up wash after spill after wash. The fabric color choices: Nomad Black, Nomad Blue, Nomad Sand and Nomad Grey. A GREAT fabric feature that stood out to a mom that has 3 out of 4 kids get carsick in the car (hey I said it’s a bumpy road!!) is that the cushions of the PRIA Max are washer AND unlike most seats, dryer-safe…. which if you have ever tried to wash and dry a carseat in a hotel hallway laundry area… you know how amazing that is!

A few important features to point out:

ClipQuik™ one-hand, magnetic chest clip makes buckling in and out struggle-free
Out-Of-The-Way spring assist harness system keeps straps in place, which means no more tangled toddlers
Equipped with GCell® patented foam that absorbs crash energy and protects your child’s head where it’s needed most in a side impact crash.
