Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus Baby Car Seat Group 0+, ISOFIX Car Seat, i-Size, 0-12 m, 0-13 kg, 45-75 cm, Sparkling Grey

Product Information

One major benefit of the Pebble Plus is how easy it is to install. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow when using a seat belt or the Isofix base. All the technical gubbins are housed in the subwoofer box so you need to connect your source to that rather than to one of the satellite speakers. Usefully, all the cables that Logitech supplies are 1.5m long so you can spread the units out.

This rear facing only seat is specifically designed for babies 12 months and under. It comes with a newborn insert which can be easily added or removed as needed.

Unlike the Pebble Plus, there’s no option for a separate subwoofer, however Creative appears to think you won’t need one thanks to the Pro’s housing design and their BassFlex tuning technology, which they claim can deliver extended low frequency response and pronounced bass, even when the volume is low. The good news is that setup is fairly simple considering how few wires there are connected to the speakers... but the bad news is that all the cables run through the right speaker, making it a little challenging for us to lay things out in a neat way - this isn’t one of those 2.1 systems that enables you to be all that creative on the display side of things. The Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus is a rear facing car seat specifically designed for newborns. It's a Group 0+ car seat which means it can be used from birth to 13kg or until your child is 75cm in length, whichever comes first. The easy-fitting harness and impact-absorbing side wings on this seat make it supremely comfortable for babies and easy to use for parents – a winning combination in our book.The higher price tag when you are purchasing the Pebble Plus with the 2wayFix Base may put some people off, but you can then use the same base with the 2wayPearl car seat, enabling you to rear face right up to four years old. This pricey 2.1 speaker system includes two futuristically designed satellites, a beefy downward-firing subwoofer and a control hub that allows you to select from the impressive range of input sources on offer. Bluetooth, optical, analogue and USB can all be connected simultaneously and switched between at the simple press of a button. I haven't personally spent time with those other speakers, but based on how great Pebble Plus sounds, I'd be hard-pressed to consider any of them over Creative's offering. Plus, I just think orbs are cool. Worth it even with the cable mess

Mother&Baby Tester, Mahjabeen said:"The base is easy to install and I like the reassuring ‘bleep’ when it’s fitted correctly. The seat looks comfortable and Zahra seems happy in it and loves banging her feet against the footrest. The over-the-shoulder straps are easy to fasten. It almost deserves full marks, but I feel some other seats offer better value." At Mother & Baby, we were assisted with help from our Mother & Baby Testers to review the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus & 2wayfix base. During the testing process, we were testing for its overall performance, usability and build. Here's what our testers had to say about the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus. That’s handy if space is at a premium but the Katana SE has more going for it than just its compact all-in-one nature. Its audio is clear and balanced and can be customised extensively using the Creative app, while the bar makes a decent fist of virtual surround sound. Its attractive LED display can be personalised, while connection options are wide-ranging and enable you to use the bar with your TV as well as your PC. While the speakers can be powered from your computer via the aforementioned USB-C port, to get the full benefit of the Pebble Pro’s you’ll want to connect them up to a 30-watt adaptor, which allows for a beefy30W RMS and 60W peak output. Sadly, the adaptor isn’t included in the box and is available as optional extra.

Tape measure included: Measure was included to help you determine whether your child fits the car seats' measurements. Different colours and designs: Originally, there were fifteen different print and colour combinations to choose from. The seat can be installed using a three-point seatbelt or Isofix points. Unfortunately, the Isofix base is sold separately, effectively doubling the price of the car seat.

The Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus isn't the most lightweight of infant carriers available, weighing in at 4.5kg. Transporting the seat is fine on its own, but once you add a larger baby, we wouldn't want to be carrying it for too long. The handle has three different positions and is rotated with two buttons at the side. Mother&Baby Tester, Tawnia, said:"Whilst I haven’t tried all the different brands available, I would buy this car seat above the standard seat on the market. Its padding is superior to other car seats I have seen, the grey fabric is neutral for any gender and wouldn’t show dirty marks. The seat was easy to get my little boy into and adjust, and the secure base was great for peace of mind when driving. It was just a little too big for my car which was annoying." The killer feature here is that you can listen to all three analogue inputs and Bluetooth input simultaneously. That means you can stream music wirelessly while still hearing notifications and receiving voice or video calls from your other devices – and that’s genuinely handy. The Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus is constructed with high-quality materials and has been rigorously tested to ensure that it meets all safety standards. It has a compatible base that makes it easy to install and remove from the vehicle. The car seat also features a comfortable and adjustable harness system that can be customized to the baby's size and shape.Controlling the MR1 couldn’t be easier via the included remote, which lets you switch sources, adjust volume and pair the speakers with up to eight different devices. Simple to set up and use, easy on the eye and wonderfully musical, the Ruark MR1 MKII are a superb addition to any desktop setup.

The baby-hug inlay looked and felt supremely comfortable, and the top side wings make a cosy headrest. It's worth knowing that the insert makes the seat very warm, which is something to watch out for on hot summer days. The straps are snug and tighten well; even our tester's mini escapologist couldn't wriggle out! Are the materials machine washable? Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. The sound quality delivered by monitors and laptops tends to be pretty disappointing and PC speakers are the simplest way to upgrade your audio without the need for large amplifiers or lots of connection cables.Depending on the height of the driver and the size of your car, it may be best to install the base and car seat behind the passenger's seat. The passenger's seat will also need to be pushed forward a couple of notches, to allow extra room. This is due to the space that the base and support leg take up, and is common amongst i-Size car seats that support extended rear facing. Finally, our testers helped us to weigh up the comparisons between the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus & 2wayfix base and other competitors on the market. Here's what our testers had to say about whether the Maxi-Cosi Pebble Plus stood up to other rival products. There’s also no denying that the Companion 2’s do generate a very agreeable and usefully loud sound. Bose never gives RMS power outputs for its speakers but I measured peaks of 87dB at 1m distance. The soundstage is very wide and detailed and there’s much more bass than you’d expect from a system this small, although not much more than you get from cheaper rival systems like the Creative T60.
