Maxi-Cosi Breathe Humidifier

The Maxi-Cosi Breathe Humidifier is a smart, cool-mist baby humidifier designed to keep your nursery at the humidity level you set, so your little one can settle more comfortably. It runs on cold steam and has a generous 3.8-litre tank that can run uninterrupted for up to 24 hours on full mist. It also doubles as an essential oil diffuser, giving you the option of a gently scented room at bedtime.

The Breathe is part of the Maxi-Cosi Connected Home range and links to the Maxi-Cosi Connected Home app over a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection. That means you can switch it on from anywhere to prep the nursery before bedtime, adjust the humidity, mist level and timers as you go, or simply let it run on Auto Mode. You can also control everything from the on-product LED display and touch panel, whichever suits the moment.

Smart control, on your terms

A range of built-in sensors lets the Breathe work in full autonomy when you'd like it to. In Auto Mode it reads the room and works out a suitable humidity level based on the temperature, turning itself on when the humidity drops below your set minimum. The large display shows both temperature and humidity at a glance, and the app notifies you of changes in the nursery, so you always know what the room is doing. The Breathe also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice control.

How it works

• Cool (cold steam) mist: The Breathe releases a cold mist rather than warm steam, so there's no hot surface at floor level in the nursery.
• Auto Mode: Smart sensors define a suitable humidity level based on room temperature and switch the unit on when humidity falls below the minimum you've set.
• App-connected: Over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, the Maxi-Cosi Connected Home app lets you control the unit remotely and sends alerts for humidity, temperature and low water levels.
• Connected Home ecosystem: It sits within the wider Maxi-Cosi Connected Home range — alongside the See Baby Monitor, Soothe Light & Sound and Glow Crib Light — all managed through one app, with routines you can set to work together.

Made for a settled nursery

Everyday details make it easy to live with. There are three adjustable mist intensity levels and timers you can set for a delayed start, plus a Night Mode for undisturbed sleep. A child lock on the display stops little fingers changing your settings, and the app alerts you when water is running low so you know when to top it up. When it's time to clean, a small brush is included to help you keep it fresh, and the aroma tray on the side lets you add a few drops of essential oil to the sponge when you want to use it as a diffuser. Its sleek, minimal design with soft, natural tones is made to sit quietly on the nursery floor. The Breathe is rated for rooms up to 20 m².

Best For

The Maxi-Cosi Breathe Humidifier is a great option for parents who:

• Want to manage nursery humidity and prefer a cool-mist unit with no hot surface
• Like the idea of remote and voice control, plus automatic operation via smart sensors
• Are building a connected nursery and may add other Maxi-Cosi Connected Home products over time
• Would also like the option of using it as an essential oil diffuser

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Don't have a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection available, which is required to set the product up in the app
• Need to cover a room larger than 20 m²

Disclaimer

Essential oils are not permitted for infants under 3 months. Not all essential oils are suitable for babies, so before using a new oil, check with a specialist whether it can be used and how. For babies older than 3 months, a safe dilution ratio of 0.5 to 1 percent is recommended. Even when diluted, essential oils can cause skin irritation and sun sensitivity, so a patch test is recommended with each new oil. Essential oils should never be used by children or infants and should be kept out of reach to avoid accidental ingestion. When trying a new oil around your baby, test a small amount in the diffuser for about an hour to check that no irritation occurs.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Because the Breathe is part of the Maxi-Cosi Connected Home range and runs through a single app, you can set up interactions between products — so it works alongside the likes of the Soothe Light & Sound as part of one bedtime routine.
