5.0 out of 5 stars Love This Seat, January 4, 2010

This review is from: Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat (Baby Product)

We've been using this seat for a bit over five months now and I love it. Our little dude was born quite premature, and we were finally allowed to bring him home when he hit 5 lb. At that size he would have been almost lost in most of the other car seat we looked at, but the Mico came through like a champ with the infant insert, though we actually ended up supplementing with the Kiddopotamus Snuzzler (link below). I don't consider that a defect, since one size cannot fit everyone and an additional $15 is a small price for baby comfort and parental peace of mind.

PROS:

- The seat is very light, which becomes increasingly important as baby becomes heavier;
- The base is really heavy, which seems right to me;
- The LATCH clips go in easily - using a seatbelt requires a little more elbow-grease, but nothing extraordinary;
- Materials are high quality - we have not noticed any wear or tear;
- The seat works great with our Bugaboo Cameleon - at present he is too big for the Buagoo's bassinet, but not really big enough for the seat, so he just stays in the Mico car seat, which has now become associated with nap time anyway;
- The seat clips easily into the base, with a very apparent "clunk"; and
- The deep seat and high, well-padded sides at least appear to give more protection than many other models on the market.

CONS:

- There is some tendency for straps to tangle between uses - not really more than other car seats, but it does happen; and
- If your family has a history of big kids, be aware that you will be out of this seat by 22 lb and 29" - there are some other models like the Graco Infant SafeSeat Step 1 which can go bigger if necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars great find, way better than my Graco Safe Seat, November 1, 2010

I am a BIG fan of this seat. I did a lot of research on which seat to buy; for my first kid I got an inherited Graco seat. It worked well, but it reached the six-year max so we had to get rid of it. With this next one, I went to consumer reports and asked everyone I knew why they liked their seat. I will admit, I didn't talk to anyone I knew that picked the Maxi Cosi brand, but I think that is just because they are hard to come by in stores. But this one is WAY lighter and I really like the handle shape. I have read reviews of the "terrible sun shade" but it is honestly just like the one on my last Graco seat. So no complaints here. Most moms I talked to picked their seat because of the seat pattern, and I'll admit, i had a hard time and went with the neutral black. I was worried that it would get really hot, but my husband pointed out that we hardly ever leave it in the car. Anyway, very happy. And this is currently rated #2 in Consumer Reports over the combi seat, but it is because of the "ease of using a shoulder seat belt" over the Combi. I'll take the higher rating in safety anyday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Happy, January 6, 2010

This review is from: Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat (Baby Product)

We received this as a baby shower gift. We have had no major issues with this car seat. It states that the car seat will carry your baby up to 22 lbs. My son is now 6 months old and about 17 lbs, and it is starting to get too small for him when he is bundled up in his winter gear, so we will upgrade to the Maxi-Cosi Priori Convertible soon. We seem happy with the brand.

What we liked best about the Maxi-Cosi Mico was that it was light weight and attached to the bugaboo stroller with attachments, so we were able to easily move our son from car to stroller without disturbing him. We also received lots of compliments on the look and color.
