Who the Peri 180 Rotating Infant Car Seat fits
This seat covers one stage. Maxi-Cosi gives it a 8-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.
- Rear-facing harness (infant carrier)4 to 30 lb · Up to 32 in
- The child faces the back of the car, which keeps the head, neck and spine supported in a frontal crash. Keep this mode as long as the child fits it.
What are the Peri 180 Rotating Infant Car Seat weight, height and age limits?

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rear-facing harness (infant carrier) | 4 to 30 lb | Up to 32 in | Not published | Rear-facing only; manual states 32 in or less in height |

How the Peri 180 Rotating Infant Car Seat installs
- Lower anchors
- LATCH connectors (base). Check your vehicle manual for which seating positions have anchors, and switch to the seat belt once the child passes the anchor weight limit in the manual.
- Recline
- 5 recline positions. The recline angle is what keeps a young baby’s airway open, so set it before tightening the install.
- Harness
- 6-position no-rethread headrest/harness. Check the harness height at each growth spurt: at or below the shoulders rear-facing, at or above them forward-facing.
Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.
Will it fit your car?
Maxi-Cosi does not publish a width for this seat, so measure your back seat and compare it with the seat in a store before buying. It weighs 8 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.
- Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
- Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
- Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.

Is the Peri 180 Rotating Infant Car Seat recalled?
No campaign in the current NHTSA child-restraint data names this model family, and I have not run a separate review for it. Check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use.
Before you buy
- Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
- Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect; Maxi-Cosi lists 6 colors of this seat.
- Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
- Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Maxi-Cosi so you hear about the next one.
