Maxi-Cosi Launches 'Coral Slide Pro', the World's Lightest Class Baby Car Seat Weighing Approximately 2.5kg

GMP International Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Keita Haraguchi) will launch the 'Coral Slide Pro', a child car seat (infant carrier) for newborns from the Dutch childcare brand MAXI-COSI. This product achieves a weight of approximately 2.5kg, making it one of the world's lightest class* removable soft carriers. It proposes a new mobility experience, allowing seamless transfer from the car to the stroller and indoors without waking a sleeping baby. Furthermore, by combining it with the compact stroller 'Fame Cabin', it can be used as the 'ZERO-G Travel System'. As next-generation mobility combining lightweight, comfort, and maneuverability, it offers a new option perfectly suited for the Japanese urban lifestyle. The Coral Slide Pro has been recognized for its innovative design and functionality, winning the globally prestigious 'iF DESIGN AWARD 2026'. The ultra-lightweight 2.5kg removable soft carrier, developed to reduce the burden on parents, is highly praised for offering a new mobility experience of 'moving without waking the baby'. Don't Wake Them Up. Just That Makes Moving Smarter The greatest feature of the Coral Slide Pro is its 'separate structure', which allows only the inner soft carrier to be removed and carried. A travel system that allows the baby seat to be attached to and detached from a car or stroller with a single touch has the significant advantage of 'moving without waking up' during the period from newborn to around 15 months of age, when a baby's sleep rhythm is unstable. On the other hand, the weight of the baby seat itself has often been an issue, with many voicing that 'it is convenient but heavy to carry'. The Coral Slide Pro adopts a new structure where only the necessary parts are smartly carried, achieving a weight reduction to approximately 2.5kg*. You can smoothly transition from the car to the stroller, from the stroller to indoors, and from being held to moving without waking a sleeping baby. It transforms traveling with a baby into a lighter and more comfortable experience. An 'Urban Travel System' Suited to the Japanese Lifestyle The ZERO-G Travel System is also highly recommended for moving on public transportation or for car-share users who do not own a car. Even in situations where moving with a regular stroller is difficult, such as on stairs or in narrow spaces, the baby seat section can be easily removed for smooth movement. In addition, because it can be used as a dedicated child seat when using a car share, there is no need to arrange for a rental child seat separately. Combining lightweight and compactness, the smooth docking unique to Maxi-Cosi products supports more comfortable travel with your baby. ■ Features of Coral Slide Pro Separate Structure Allows Removal of Only the Inside The Coral Slide Pro adopts a two-layer structure of a soft carrier and a protective shell. Because only the ultra-lightweight soft carrier can be removed and carried, everyday movement is made much smoother. Reclining Function Accommodates various scenes, including moving in a car, carrying, and taking a walk. The 3-stage reclining function, which includes a flat position, supports a comfortable sleeping posture for the baby. Hands-Free, Smooth Carrying By using the carry strap (sold separately), you can safely carry the baby while keeping both hands free. XL Sun Canopy Adopts a large sun canopy with UPF50+ protection. It gently protects the baby from strong sunlight and wind. ■ Features of FAME CABIN Equipped with 'LumiRide LED' that Illuminates Dark Roads A LumiRide LED light, designed to improve nighttime visibility, is equipped at the lower front of the stroller. It clearly indicates the presence of the stroller even on dark roads, enhancing recognition from cars, bicycles, and pedestrians. Built-in USB-C Charging Port Features a conveniently located USB-C port. It resolves anxiety about charging while out and is compatible with smartphones and essential summer cooling fan mats. ■ Maxi-Cosi 'Coral Slide Pro' Price: 52,800 JPY (tax included) Colors (2 options): Sapphire Sand / Black Onyx Target Age: Newborn to approx. 2 years old Target Height: 40cm to 87cm Installation Method: ISOFIX | Seatbelt Safety Standard: R129 Compliant Product Page: https://www.maxicosi.jp/product/baby/baby_c
