Choosing a car seat for your babies and/or children is always a big decision as there is nothing quite as important as child safety, especially in the car. There are so many different brands, styles and stages of car seats that it does make it extremely difficult to decide which is best for your family. It tends be the woman/mother who purchases and installs the car seat and I believe more men/fathers need to be more aware of the importance of these contraptions. I am pretty lucky; my husband has always shown a huge interest into the safety of our boys in the car and installed them almost each and every time they are required to be done.
| Maxi-Cosi Hera |
I have been fortunate enough to be sent a new and innovative product on the market that combines the new technology of Air Protect with practicality and style. Maxi-Cosi protects your childs head from side impact reducing crash forces that may occur through the precise release of air. It is officially one of the worlds safest car seats as it has surpassed the worlds toughest safety tests and not only that but the Air Protect well and truly exceeds Australian testing (which is one of the strictest in the world). I received the Maxi-Cosi Hera to review which is perfect for newborn-4years. It is brilliant as it is suitable for all ages until they require a booster seat. It is soft and padded enough that the baby can enjoy long drives but still firm enough that it supports them. It has so many benefits that I cannot list them all but my favourites are the 6 point harness and tether strap, the machine washable covers (this is a must for me!), 3 adjustable base positions and of the course the new Air Protect technology. This seat will be perfect for the new addition to our family when it arrives; our 3 year old has given it a good go and has had only one thing to say about it – “It’s so soft!”. When he falls asleep in the car the air pockets are great as well because they act like a built in pillow – no more stiff necks!
As you can see this is very popular with me and I’m so pleased I have had the opportunity to learn about this new product and at the perfect time to add the cherry on the top. As I mentioned before the prices of car seats do vary and while this particular seat retails for $449 I would say it is a very smart investment, if this is above your budget don’t fret as there are cheaper models that provide the same Air Protect technology. See website here.
Did I mention I have 1x Air Protect car seat of choice from the website (valued at $200-$500) to giveaway to one lucky reader? Well I do!

I would love to have one of those child seats. It would give me some kind of certainty to have our grandchild protected as good as possible.
Protecting the baby
is the aim you see
safety and support
is my main thought
the precious cargo
safe where ever we go

Wow this is an amazing giveaway, Thankyou so much for the opportunity 😀 I’d love to win this awesome prize for my Brother & Sister in law, they are expecting a little baby boy in march & I’d love to be able to help them out with something like this.
I want to give my kids the best of everything, especially safety! I can’t always afford it though, so this would be a fantastic way to do that and not feel guilty!
For my precious little cargo,
I’d love to win this seat,
To keep him safe and comfortable,
A most important feat!
I’d love this for my next little one! It would nice for them to have a brand new seat, not a handmedown. This brand of seat sounds fantastic!
I want to win this to keep my 7 month old baby safe and snug in the car. This car seat is the best thing a child can have while in the car for his protection and safety.
I have a grand baby, noe 6mths old, and old enough to come out with Grandma occasionally. I’d love to be super sure and confident that Miller is well protected when he’s out with me.
Everything in life is unpredictable but with high quality and tested car seats from Maxi-Cosi I can relax and be sure that my baby girl is safe and protected.
With baby number 3 due soon,
I thank you so much Mad Mumma’s for this opportune.
Have done a lot of research and Air Protect always comes out on top.
I’m always admiring them everytime I shop.
An amazing invention, aiding child protection.
Air Protect saves children’s lives, for which we forever strive.
Air Protect Revolutionary Side Impact Technology, QuickFit Harness System, 6-point safety harness and tether strap, Shoulder harness protectors and Padded belt mates.
Baby is in safe hands with Safety 1st I know.
Features High back car seat protect mat with insulated drink pocket and a Luxurious machine washable cover.
Even keeping things clean and tidy wouldn’t be a bother!
My last 2 little girls are born 14 months apart,
one with a chronic illness- it breaks my heart,
We don’t have enough seats although none of them state of the art,
they all hate driving in seperate cars- all apart,
with this beautiful seat we will have a new years head start!
Its perfect timing for my 3.5 year old to swap to a bigger car seat. With her habit of dozing off every time the car moves, I want to ensure she can sleep in comfort without spraining her neck. This range of car seats sounds so tempting I might have to check it out!
New Bubba due in Feb
Really looking forward to our new addition, but am bummed that I gave my baby seat away! Fingers crossed for such an amazing prize!
I’d love to win this as it will provide my daughter with protection from the sun as well as optimal safety!
We have Baby number 3 due early next year I would love the Maxi-Cosi Micro Infant carrier It would make my day to day life so much easier with school and preschool pick up and drop off’s and after school activities I also plan on breast feeding for as long as I can so each school morning I can feed bub and put him/her in the carrier ready to head out the door
This car seat would be the Child Whisperer. There’s a time for play, a time for restraint. This seat is letting bubs know its time for calm or or a time for sleep
I have a special cargo newborn due in February 2013. I need a car seat that will protect her as she travels in the car, and will give me peace of mind knowing I have put her in the safest seat possible.
This would make me feel relaxed and at ease while on the road. Knowing that the most precious thing in my life is super safe would enable me to revive myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The better I feel, the more I’m able to engage fully with my life and the multitasking and “magic” it requires!
I am due next year and this would take a huge relief off of me
This would be a helpful cost relief, as we need to buy the next stage up for my daughter. The cost of a carseat is nothing compared to the safety of my children in a car, however it is something that would help us come January and February when we have the biggest bills of the year come in.
My little boy is now much bigger, Oh my we’re going to need a booster! The thought hadn’t even crossed my mind but holy moly it is time. He’s off in his own little mind, drifting off into the clouds so often that an Air Protect is the perfect thing to match the air inside his head!
Great car seat! I am due on Thursday (!) and we need a car seat for this little one as soon as s/he grows out of the infant carrier (which was around 4 months for my son!). Thanks for further convincing me that side impact protection is the biggest concern for me in looking for a car seat.

My little boy is easy to fall asleep in the car. Maxi-Cosi Hera’s air pockets would help him protect his neck while sleeping. Meanwhile he loves soft things. He prefers sleeping on the quilt than directly on the mattress. I’m sure he would love this soft car seat. For me, really adore machine washable covers. My boy sweats a lot like his dad. But our car seat cover can’t be taken off for washing. I always use wet wipe to clean it. Snot, sweat and saliva, OMG, I can’t 100% clean off these nasty fluids, which makes me worry about germ, mould…Maxi-Cosi Hera is what I’m after!
Baby number three was quite a surprise, and came only after we’d finished saying goodbye to most of our big ticket baby items! It also came when I was leaving work due to a spinal injury – we lost an income and gained a family member!
Winning a seat to keep our littlest little safe while in the car would be an amazing weight lifted from our shoulders.
This would be for my sweet little grey that we just had! He is a blessing and his would come in handy I loved the review by the way!
I would like to win this to keep my granddaughter safe when riding with me,, precious cargo!
When planning a family trip
you want the kids to have a kip
no screaming or crying in the car
with this seat we could go far!
My nephew and his girlfriend are young parents and have bought a second hand car seat. I would give this to them to ensure the safety of their most precious little girl
A baby is precious cargo
Needs to be protected, so
An Air Protect seat would help ensure
They travel safely forever more!
my husband works as a truck mechanic and also does roadworthy certificates so for us it is most important and he makes sure we buy quality to guard the kids while they are in the car my favourites are the 6 point harness the 3 adjustable base positions what a great idea and the the new Air Protect technology this looks like any child can comftably sllep while there posture is still being cared for by the seat along with there head and neck .love the seat what a great new seat for us all
My Daughter_In law who is expecting would feel confident that her NewBorn is safe and secure with Air Protect Seat. Thank You
I want to win because I want the best possible protection for the most precious cargo I’ll ever carry!

My brother has a little one due in May and hasn’t started buying yet, love to win it for him.
We have a good quality (read = expensive) booster seat in my car but a cheap foam one in hubby’s car. He took it out to vacuum, master four leaned back in it while it was on the ground, and the whole seat snapped in half through the middle. So now we’re doing the car seat shuffle between cars. Until one day we forget and one of us drives off with it in our car and the other is at home with R. Then what?
I dont actually need any car seats anymore,
so wished I did but my baby days are over.
Win I enter and win baby items,
I pass them onto to those that do not have the
means to buy any baby goods.
I gift them to those that are single Mums,
and know that they will be used with love.
I think car seats are something men can sink their teeth into…bit more interesting to them than all the other baby stuff like breast pumps. Eeeeek I still can’t imagine sitting in the car coming home from the hospital with OUR baby in the back.
I am going to be an aunty soon, I would love this car seat so that my niece/nephew will be safe in my car
I would Love to win this for my Children. Nothing compares to the Highest quality and safety for children and this seat looks like it has it all. From good looks to the highest safety one can find
With bubba #2 due at the end of February and I haven’t even thought about another car seat yet, so would love to win this to save having to go through the agonising process of picking a new car seat again!
This is exactly what my bub needs. He is my third and has to used a very well worn seat that we were given for my now 8 year old. He deserves the best in protection so this is what he needs!
Sorry forgot to use my google account
I want to to win for my sister
she is a mother, she is strong , she is fun , she is crazy but she my my sister she deserve a car seat for her 6 week old son..
The Air Protect is certainly a very important factor to consider when purchasing a car seat and removalable covers that are machine washable thats great
I would love to win to be fully prepared for bubs arrival!
My littlest has almost grown out of her capsule so we actually NEED a new carseat for her. I have 4 small kids so everyone still needs to be in a carseat!
I want to win this for our second car(hubby’s car actually) the reason being is I am sick of having to take out the car seat from my car into his!
He still has no idea on how these seats work. Its always up to be because he can’t work it out! Along with the change table, cot, pram and now the trampoline! All of which I put together.
Give him the tv remote and a pizza, he can work that out! But never a single bolt and strap on a car seat..

My baby’s head flops about all of the place when she falls asleep in the car. I always feel incredibly guilty as she looks so uncomfortable. I’ve tried travel pillows but they just fall out or she throws them. I have no idea how she actually manages to sleep in the car, especially with the way I drive.

I was in a car crash when I was a few years old. Although I don’t remember it (and I fortunately suffered no long-term injuries) I know from my mum how emotionally devastating it can be to the victims. I would love to win this for my nephew, to give him the extra protection I didn’t have.
email: [email protected]
Machine washable covers is what’s screaming out at me. Yes PLEASE!!!
(Yes I am TT my toddler 😉 )
What an awesome prize! Miss 4 is pretty much grown out of her baby seat so time to upgrade! Thanks for the info!
We already have a maxi cosi complete air for our 4 year old, it is a really great seat. I would love to get a similar air protect seat for our 6 month old who is nearly out of his capsule. After all, we want the both to be as safe as possible, so they both need air protect seats.
I would love, love, love to have one of these seats! My husband crashed the car a while back with me and both kids in it, and my daughter still talks about Daddy crashing the car, so I’m sure she’d feel much better being in a safer seat.
I bought a second-hand AHR Meridian Safe n Sound for my daughter when she was born. It’s been wonderful, but she’s rapidly reaching the upper height markers. She’s just turned 2, and I thought it would last until she was 4! I’ve been looking into carseats, and the Maxi-cosi Goliath keeps coming up as a very good choice. I love that it’s a narrower seat design – we use the carseat in the front of the ute for farm work and working trips, as well as the car. So not only does the carseat need to be easy to switch around, but it also needs to be as narrow as possible for the one squished in the middle.. normally me! With a carseat one side, husband on the other, and the gears right in front of me (I’ll spare you the finer details.. just lucky no-one else has had to drive apart from him!), I really don’t have much room to move at all! And I’m not getting any smaller… I’d love to win one of these, as it would do us for the next 6 years, in comfort (mine included!) and style
I’d love to win this so that we can have a third seat in my car for my niece. my sister just had her 2nd daughter and i want to help out. As it stands, if i go out with all three kid we can only go as far as we can walk.

When I got cluck cluck clucky 8 years after our last baby it was bad timing as we had given away all our baby gear. So we decided to be savvy shoppers and “only buy what we truly need” so that’s what we did. That meant we decided to only buy one car seat for my car and just swap and change to hubbys car when needed. Welllllll can I say, it is just such a painful thing to do over and over. Unclick the seat belt, unclick the anchor, put it in the other car, strap everything down again and put your weight into it to make sure it’s tight enough. Arrggggg not something you want to do in a hurry. So I have decided we need a a 2nd seat and just like magic, a friend posted a link to your competition on facebook. Fate!
I would appreciate a new car seat as when we had our baby we prioritized our spending and bought a car seat that was on sale. In six months the strap protectors have frayed, the seat belts keep getting twisted, the cover has pilled and looks terrible and worst of all, she doesn’t appear to have any neck/head support. She always looks uncomfortable when we travel. I would love to give bub an Air Protect car seat as is both comfortable, safe and able to be easily cleaned as she also experiences reflux.
My children are my most treasure treasures and this would be ideal for their safety [email protected]
My children’s safety is my upmost priority! I have a 13 month old who is still rear facing and my second bub due in a few weeks. We have not purchased a second seat yet as we wanted to do our research and not rush into a sale that may not neseccarily be the best for our bubs safety. The one time that I feel I have no control over my baby’s safety is when we are in the car! I can do all I can to make sure I follow road rules etc however I am cannot ensure that the hundreds of thousands of other drivers out there are doing the same, therefore I feel I need to give my babies the best car seat out there to protect them when I can’t. The air protect technology sounds great and is something we have been looking into. Thank you for the opportunity to enter this competition to keep my most precious little people safe.

An upgrade in carseat is what my 5yo son needs,
He is still in the car seat for birth to 18kg.
To keep him safe for all travel in the car,
An Air Protect Carseat would be so appreciated….by far!!!
Saying hi with my google account too
I will do anything to ensure the safety of my children so to enter for such an amazing prize from Mad Mummas Sweet Randoms and Airprotect is a must indeed
I would love to get a new carseat for my baby. When we got ours we didn’t have a lot of spare money and therefore just bought some cheapies from Target, I mean they adhere to the safety standards, but nothing beyond that. We’d love to get a new quality and safer seat for our son to use in the car. Will put my mind at ease.
Any
Infant/ baby
Really deserves to be
Protected.
Restraining in seats is
One of
The most
Easiest ways to
Cease
Troublesome accidents.
Our three little monkeys all in the back seat,
A sneaky click means one of them’s found their feet!
Freaking out as we quickly pull over to see,
Which of our children is channeling Houdini!
It’s usually our cheeky little Miss Three,
The cheapo carseat allows her to become an escapee!
Safety when traveling is a high priority,
We need a new carseat that’s good quality!
But the budget is stretched as tightly as can be,
So our fingers are crossed to win the Air Protect Maxi-Cosi!
My brother just had his first little one. Safety is important and every child deserves that.
What a fantastic giveaway !!
Oops didn’t finish my story! It sounds like this car seat would be just perfect for my grandchild due in April with its excellent safety features
Grandbabies on the way,
Air protect, make my day!
Protecting our little ones first,
keeping them safe from the worst.
Soft with comfort in mind
all snuggled in, well designed.
I`d love to win this Air Protect car seat,
knowing my child is safe from head to feet,
with style and practicality you just cant beat.
My children’s safety is my primary concern,
An Air Protect seat would cushion them with every turn,
It also grows with them and has stylish looks,
A wonderful carseat in anyone’s book!

Because my little girl looked over my shoulder as I was looking at the airprotect website and squealed with delight as mummy was looking at LELLOW (she insists it’s not yellow for her absolutely favourite colour no matter what anyone says). Then I had to show her all the website pages whilst she hunts for yet more LELLOW. Yes de don’t have a LELLOW car, but can guess what she is always asking for. So moving her into a new car seat, with the possibility of LELLOW (even just the airprotect label) would be pure joy for her
