Maxi-Cosi Vita Pro

Maxi-Cosi consumer research revealed parents’ needs for compact child seats, required for the growth of integrated families with 3+ kids, plus the desire for compactness to support the safer position of rearward facing for longer. Vita Pro’s enveloping form was carefully considered, designed to cocoon and protect in rearward-facing for newborns to 30 months, then expand to protect and support toddlers to 4-year olds.

At major milestones, focus groups validated Vita Pro’s design directions, and the result is Australia’s most considered and most compact rearward facing restraint with compactly integrated bespoke head and torso protection.

Vita Pro is a socially impactful child restraint, the first in Australia to offer parents’ uncompromised compact safety and comfort. Over 70% of child restraints are installed incorrectly which could result in preventable fatalities. Vita Pro minimises the opportunity for human error, designed with minimal installation steps and strong visual language, resulting in a higher likelihood of improved fitment and therefore, reduced child injuries or fatalities.

Successfully launching into retailers in July, with strong sell through to parents. The detailed execution is consumer insight lead using focus group data, resulting in a consumer centred commercial outcome, improving brand reputation and loyalty.

Australian Standards are bespoke and one of the most rigorous in the world, requiring tailored restraint solutions. Maxi-Cosi Australia, a small division, has an entrepreneurial mindset, utilising professional design consultants to aid speed to market and product quality goals. Since 2010, Maxi-Cosi’s design process has evolved to include additional consumer validation milestones and investment in early prototype iterations.

Consumer validation studies have strengthened our targeted product executions and rapid prototyping has prevented critical mistakes late in the process, otherwise causing lengthy delays and thus, maintaining speed to market. Such process evolutions are empowering Maxi-Cosi Australia to take greater innovative leaps.
