Maxi-Cosi
Titan Pro2 i-Size
7.5/10 overallAbout £280
A group 1/2/3 i-Size car seat that grows with a child from around 15 months to roughly 12 years, using ISOFIX and a support leg rather than a seatbelt-only fit.
The verdict
The Maxi-Cosi Titan Pro2 is a forward-facing Group 1/2/3 seat (76-150cm) for children from around 15 months, fitted with Isofix plus a support leg rather than a seatbelt. It's a solid, mainstream choice for replacing an outgrown infant seat, though at 12.5kg it's heavy to move between cars and offers no extended rear-facing or rotating base.
The Titan Pro2 is Maxi-Cosi's current forward-facing extended seat, covering a 76-150cm height range with an R129 i-Size rating. Unlike the birth-ready seats in this category, it isn't designed for newborns: Maxi-Cosi's own guidance puts the starting point at around 15 months, once a child can sit unsupported and has outgrown an infant or all-in-one seat. Installation is via ISOFIX connectors plus a floor-mounted support leg, which removes the seatbelt-routing errors that account for a lot of poor real-world fittings, and the seat has four recline positions to keep it comfortable as the child grows into the booster stage.
Against the other seats in this category, the trade-off is usage span versus starting age. The Joie Every Stage R129 and similar group 0+/1/2/3 seats cover birth through to age 12 in one unit, so they're the better single-seat choice for a first car seat; the Titan Pro2 is a better fit for parents replacing an infant seat once their child has outgrown it, or buying a second seat for a grandparent's car. Compared with the BeSafe Stretch2 and Axkid Movekid, which stay rear-facing for longer on safety grounds, the Titan Pro2 is a more conventional forward-facing design once installed, which some parents will prefer for visibility and ease of getting a toddler in and out.
At 12.5kg it's on the heavier side for a seat that might get moved between cars regularly, and buyers who want to keep a child rear-facing well past toddlerhood should look at the rear-facing specialists instead. For a straightforward, ISOFIX-fitted forward-facing seat from a mainstream brand with wide retailer support, it's a solid, unspectacular choice rather than a class leader on price.

- Long usage span in one seat, roughly 15 months to 12 years

How we scored it
Safety & Fit
Crash protection design (side-impact systems, impact shields, or extended rear-facing capability), how securely and correctly the seat installs, and how well it accommodates a growing child without needing to be replaced too soon.
R129 i-Size rated with ISOFIX plus a support leg, which is a more forgiving fitting method than seatbelt-only installation, but it lacks the extended rear-facing use that the safety-focused BeSafe and Axkid seats in this category offer.
Ease of Installation & Everyday Use
How straightforward the seat is to install correctly (Isofix vs seatbelt-only, clear indicators), and how easy it is to adjust, clean, and move between cars day to day.
ISOFIX + support leg fitting is quick and largely foolproof once installed, though at 12.5kg the seat itself is heavy to move between cars.
Value for Money
What the seat delivers - years of use, safety features, and build quality - relative to its UK retail price.

Frequently asked questions
From what age can my child use the Titan Pro2?+
It isn't designed for newborns — Maxi-Cosi's own guidance puts the starting point at around 15 months, once a child can sit unsupported and has outgrown an infant or all-in-one seat, up to roughly 12 years (76-150cm).
How does it install?+
Via ISOFIX connectors plus a floor-mounted support leg, which removes the seatbelt-routing errors that account for a lot of poor real-world fittings.
Does it offer extended rear-facing?+
No — it's a forward-facing design once installed. Buyers wanting to keep a child rear-facing longer should look at a rear-facing specialist like the BeSafe Stretch2 or Axkid Movekid instead.
Is it easy to move between cars?+
Not especially — at 12.5kg it's on the heavier side for a seat moved regularly, and it has no rotating base unlike some rivals at a similar price.
How does it compare with an all-in-one seat like the Joie Every Stage?+
The Every Stage covers birth through age 12 in one unit, making it the better single-seat choice for a first car seat, while the Titan Pro2 suits parents replacing an infant seat once their child has outgrown it.
