I'm currently looking at other options.
I read this on the Choice website.
Does anyone have any opinion on this point? I'd really like to go with the safest option.

That is the old maxi rider that choice have tested. The new one is the safest. When I went to the baby shop the lady told me the new maxi rider is actually safer than the SnS Royale and has superior side impact protection.
