The recall, published by the Office for Product Safety & Standards (OPSS), affects specific bases manufactured between 6 September 2025 and 24 March 2026. Parents are being urged to stop using affected products immediately while checks are carried out.

Here is everything families need to know.

Which Maxi-Cosi base is being recalled?

The recall applies to the Maxi-Cosi Family Fix Slide Pro Base, item reference 8065057110.

According to the official recall notice, the affected products were manufactured between 6 September 2025 and 24 March 2026.

The base is described in the notice as a “Black slide pro base for car seat.”

If you are unsure which model you have, check the label underneath the base for the item reference and manufacturing date.

What is the safety issue?

The OPSS notice explains that the product presents a risk of injuries because the indicator, which shows whether the seat is correctly fitted, may display ‘green’ even when the car seat is not fully attached to the base.

As outlined in the recall notice: “As a result, a user may believe the seat is properly connected when it is not. This could cause the seat to move or detach, potentially injuring the occupant.”

In simple terms, the visual confirmation system may give parents the impression that the seat is safely locked in place, even if it has not been fully connected.

For families juggling school runs, nursery drop-offs, and everyday errands, that green indicator is often the final reassurance before setting off. A fault in that system understandably raises concern.

Why has it been recalled?

The notice states that “The product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.”

The product has been formally recalled from end users by Maxi Cosi, with Local Authority Trading Standards listed as the notifier.

The risk level is currently listed as unknown, with the identified risk type being injuries.

What should parents do now?

Owners are advised to stop using the product immediately.

To check whether your base is affected and for further information, parents are directed to visit the Maxi-Cosi website.

If your product falls within the affected manufacturing dates and matches the item reference 8065057110, do not continue using it until you have followed the brand’s official guidance.

Reassurance for families

While any car seat recall can feel alarming, it is important to remember that product recalls are part of the UK’s wider safety system designed to protect families.

If you own a Maxi-Cosi Family Fix Slide Pro Base, taking a few minutes to check the label underneath your base today could give you clarity and peace of mind.

For ongoing updates, parents can also access the OPSS Product Safety Alerts, Reports and Recalls site via GOV.UK.

As always, ensuring your child’s car seat is correctly fitted and regularly checked is one of the most important steps you can take to keep them safe on the road.
