Compared to other car seats I've used this is one of the most annoying to take out to clean. The stupid plastic inserts into the groove are tricky to pull out without snapping the polystyrene foam;I call BS on that model just tucking them out without a tool
I used the flat, blunt handle of a spoon to push down on those plastic flaps before pulling them out. Without such a tool, it's impossible to remove the cover without breaking the styrofoam. With it, it's still a 1-2 minute fight per flap, but manageable. The spoon idea is from some comment here that I cannot seem to find again, many thanks to that person anyway!
Very handy video, especially for finding all the little loops and such. Be careful though as the polystyrene can snap off when removing the tabs (I now have little dinks on my seat) and one of the elastic loops snapped off around the red section near the bottom. Unfortunately it's not as easy to removed and replace as the model shows.
That’s an hour of my life I won’t get back... removing that cover and trying to re-attach it. Watching this video... I’m sure this woman is smiling through gritted teeth as her fingers bleed and she questions her life choices... If my child wets this car seat again I’m just going to set fire to it (the car seat that is!)
Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. czcams.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat.
The little tabs do get stuck when pulling them out I used the handle of spoon to tuck in around the back of the tab to help it out... there was still a bit of a damage getting it out but no bleeding fingers. Hopefully it helps others :)
Just found this out, video makes it look like the cover just pops out but its really stuck in and as you said, its easy to break the white foam underneath
One of my twins has vomited in her Titan seat today. I know what an absolute bastard Maxi Cosi car seat covers are to get off and even more so to put back on. This video makes it look quick and simple, but based on other comments I foresee sore fingers, lots of lost time and high blood pressure ahead of me!
I would love to see the whole footage and take-outs from that video 😅. Maxi Cosi Titan „uncut“ 25 minutes later I am done with putting back on the sleeve on my seat. I wish each and every constructor at maxi cosi that their kids leave their belly insides in that seat regularly

Wir haben Zwillinge und den Sitz gleich zweimal gekauft. Wir finden den Maxi Cosi Titan auch mega gut. ABER wenn man den Bezug waschen will ist das mega kompliziert ihn ab zu bekommen. Die beiliegende Anleitung hat mir überhaupt nicht geholfen. Dieses CZcams-Tutorial macht es zwar anschaulicher aber man muss trotzdem höllisch aufpassen nichts kaputt zu machen. An drei Stellen ist mir das Styropor etwas kaputt gegangen, was denke ich, der Sicherheit bestimmt nicht schadet aber dennoch hat mich das ziemlich geärgert. Mir graut es schon vor dem Zusammenbau sobald die Bezüge gewaschen sind - und nein, ich habe handwerklich nicht zwei linke Hände. Würd mich mal interessieren welche Erfahrungen andere gemacht haben diesbezüglich. Bin auf weitere Meinungen gespannt! ;-)
Hi, mir ist es genau so, meine kleine hat übergegeben voll drauf. Natürlich ist der ganz Kindersitz zu waschen jetzt... Habe auch diese Video angeschaut und war sehr erstaunt wie einfach es ausschaut. Aber, es ist sehr anstrengen, und habe auch Styropor kaputt gemacht, an 2 Stellen!.... Ich hoffe der Stoff wird danach wieder gut halten...
Hallo! Mein kleiner hat heute alles voll gepiselt. Musste den Bezug waschen. Abnehmen ging ja noch, aber wieder drauf... Katastrophe. Auch Styropor an 2 Stellen kaputt. Meine Nägel sind auch kaputt jetzt. Nie wieder. Er wird anderweitig einfach gewaschen, der ganze Sitz. 😅
Carina kurz Ist doch total ärgerlich oder? Wenn man das vorher gewusst hätte... Und überhaupt, jeder schreibt das gleiche. Styropor hier kaputt, Styropor da kaputt. Bezug ab- und aufziehen ist die reinste Katastrophe...🤷🏻♂️😅
Mir ist auch das Styropor an der Kopfstütze in zwei Teile gebrochen. Zwar komplett andere Situation: der Kleber von unserer Kopfstütze hat sich vom Plastik gelöst als das Auto in der Sonne stand. Wir wollten das Teil mit Montagekleber zurück kleben und da ist uns die Stütze in zwei Teile gebrochen. Leider gibt es kein Ersatzteil dafür. Da ging mir noch Montageschaum. 😕
This is an appallingly badly designed car seat cover. I too have chunks out of the polystyrene where the plastic tabs having broken the seat when removing the cover. Whoever designed, tested and approved the cover design are bonkers. Also the strap release mechanism is nowhere near as good as other maxicosi seats which use a moveable buckle to lock and unlock the straps. The silly button here is annoying. The straps are also very short, especially if the child has a coat on. In general a very poor seat for the money.
Should have read the comments first 😢 what an inefficient way to wash the cover of this seat. I'm so sad it is damaged now no matter how careful I was 😔
Just did this and snapped off the styrofoam with those plastic tabs. So badly and cheaply designed! I’m sure that woman broke a few herself before recording the video! They should tell customers to be extra careful.
So glad I wasn’t the only one breaking the polystyrene!

Do you have a removing/installing the padding for maxi Cosi Magellan max?
To anyone doing this take care pulling the cover away, the polystyrene breaks off very easily
Just found this out, video makes it look like the cover just pops out but its really stuck in and as you said, its easy to break the white foam underneath
Had the same problem. Now have a couple of dinks in my seat but not noticeable once the cover is wrestled back on.
Same here with broken polystyrene 😭🤦♀️

Maxi Cosi Titan „uncut“
25 minutes later I am done with putting back on the sleeve on my seat.
I wish each and every constructor at maxi cosi that their kids leave their belly insides in that seat regularly
I washed the seat cover at 30 and the elastic that fastens around the red plastic shrunk, so had to snap the elastic as a workaround.

Maxi cosi arc 44 car seat remove cover
I spent a long time removing the covers. I can only imagine installing it...
Nope. The titan model I have has different fittings and no idea how to put it back together....

Ich denke mir, die elastischen Bänder und auch der Stoff sind für das Video extra vorgedehnt. Ansonsten ginge ihr das nicht so leicht von der Hand.

Well, the video looks easy but reality is a completely different story … the rubber band is way to short to be convenient

Highly recommend to do not buy this car seat
