Hands down, I love this carseat, here's why:- the fabric is very nice as has good padding.- easy to remove the cover for cleaning. (My daughter spit up all over herself and the seat, but I was able to easily remove the harness straps and the cover and hand wash everything (machine wash is not recommended), I then rolled the cover in a towel to dry it as much as I could and put it in the dryer on low heat to fully dry)- seat is very lightweight. I think it's about 8 pounds- the handle is a smooth seamless piece and is comfortable to grip.- the handle can be in any locked position while in the car (according to the maxi-cosi website).- the stay-in-car base has a tilt adjuster. This was really nice because my back seats are fairly angled, but I was able to adjust the base so the seat was level.- Newer models (the pattern with the circles) of this carseat have standard metal buckles that can be inserted individually. When this seat was first released in the US, it had a puzzle lock where the two pieces had to be fit together and then inserted, but now it is like most other carseat buckles.- the canopy is nice. it doesn't take up a lot of space and stays where you put it. Previous versions of this seat had a bulky canopy that reviewers often complained fell down.- this seat, when paired with a Quinny Zapp makes a really slick travel system!- you can adjust the straps easily with the button at the front of the seat. this makes it really easy to put the baby in, tighten the straps properly, and when it comes time to remove the baby, you just push the button at the front and pull gently on the straps at the chest clip area to loosen.- the seat is really easy to install without the base using just the seatbelt.- the seat fits on an airplane. we flew jetblue down to Orlando and purchased a seat for the baby. I was able to easily secure the seat rear facing using the airplane seatbelt (same install as in a vehicle). The carseat did not hit the airplane seat in front and I was able to have the armrests down.My only minor complaints:- the level line on the seat can be a bit hard to see. It was easiest to use a flashlight and a bubble level to get the right angle for the base. Make sure the seat is level before you secure the base with LATCH or the belt.- only goes to 22 pounds, but if it had a higher weight limit it would be bigger and heavier.*** Update *** : My daughter is almost 9 moths old and we have now switched her to a rear-facing convertible seat. She still fits in the Mico, but the convertible seat (a Combi Coccoro) takes up less space in my car. She still has about an inch of height and 2 pounds to go before she would outgrow the Mico. My guess is that if we continued using the Mico, it would last us another month or two.
22 of 27 people found the following review helpful.We hated our Graco car seat for my son. So, we looked for a new seat for my second child. Safety, comfort and the feel of the fabric was very important to me. Our baby is an August baby, so I was looking for something she can seat in with short sleeves and shorts rubbing her skin to the car seat and not get scratched and be able to breathe. I looked at all models, Chicco, Graco, PegPreggo and Maxi Cosi (this year's model, I am not sure about old versions) was the best. It has a cotton feel and much nicer and more breathable than all others. It is not for families with big kids because the max weight is 22lb. However, I don't like to carry a big baby in a car seat anyway. So, I will move her to a big rear facing car seat when she hits 22lb. On the down side, it is harder than Chicco to put in the base. Taking out for both of them is easy. You have to make sure the handle is out, otherwise, it won't click. For Chicco, you don't need to check anything. This is, I guess, very important, but having had one child, I think I can handle this. I rather have a light weight comfy and nice looking car seat. Ours is in intense red and is very vibrant and beautiful. I will try to update this after we try it with our daughter in less than a month!
20 of 25 people found the following review helpful.Hi, just wanted to point out, that when we received the car seat, it came with a base! It does not sound like that from the description or by looking at the current picture above. I am not sure if this was a one off or normal? Just wanted to mention it as we bought a separate base from Health Check Systems (via Amazon) which we are returning but unfortunately are getting hit with a 10% restocking fee. I would check this with Amazon and the seller before you buy a separate base...As for a review of the seat itself, we were familiar with Maxi Cosi from living in England (very popular brand there) and it is compatible with our Bugaboo Chameleon. It is a shame that it does not have the same higher weight limit as other US brands (Chicco, Graco) but compared to those, it is much lighter and I think, more fashionable. The other brands always seem so bulky to me. Our first daughter was very happy in her Maxi Cosi car seat. As someone else mentioned the fabric is nice and as we live now in a warm climate, I think it will hold up well and not make our new child sweat too much. When the base is installed, it does have some give to it, but as long as you really tighten it by pushing down with your hand, as they suggest, it should be fine. The sun shade on the US version is an improvement from the UK one, but still not great, but I am not sure any car seat has a great shade. Best to purchase one of those separate covers if you really need it. A note to anyone else trying to use a UK Maxi Cosi in a US car, it is NOT compatible with the US car base. If you still want to use the UK model, you need to use the seat belt option.
