can I find a maxi-cosi axiss car seat in the USA?

nope. It’s not approved for US use.

BUT – the new combi Zeus 360 is very similar… http://www.combi-intl.com/Products/Item.aspx?Item=48 (just don’t buy the old regular combi zeus – completely different animal… only rear faces to 22lbs which many times doesn’t even get a child to 1, and it was a PITA to use).

You could also get the Orbit child seat – they make a toddler convertible seat that works with their base and turns. http://www.orbitbaby.com/products/tcs_fp.html
