Love This Seat
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...

Nearly impossible to use the 5-point harness
The carseat is very pretty but very incomfortable for a child. It is also heavier than Graco model. The straps are really short for the bottom part of the harness and dig painfully into infants thighs. Our daughter cannot have her warm winter gear on and have the bottom clasps close. Not very helpful in winter. The bottom clasps need to be held with both hands in order to...

Love This Seat, January 4, 2010
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.

Very Happy, January 6, 2010
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.

Chic car seat, with some issues., March 6, 2010
Maxi-Cosi is the only brand I have found visually pleasing. I did research this car seat before I bought it for my now three month old. I did not come across the problems I've encountered with it until after I had the issues... 1. The car seat can be very hard to get to click in and sometimes it does take several tries before the seat is firmly in the base. 2. If your baby has a blow out and it gets onto the car seat you should not machine wash it if you have an agitator. You should spot clean any issues or you could have an issue with the fabric (mine looks like it was cut open on the side). 3. Fitting it into the Quinny can be difficult, then once in it looks as though your baby is standing... 4. It is a pretty heavy seat to lug around.
Other than those issues I really do find it to be a safe and fresh car seat. When I buy the front facing car seat it will also be a Maxi-Cosi.

10 months on & still love it, August 6, 2010
My husband and I love this seat as does our daughter. She is over 10 months old now and she is just now getting to heavy for it. The fabric has worn extremely well even after multiple, multiple washings and the straps are still great. I'm not sure why other reviewers have had problems with the harness system, I find it easy to buckle and unbuckle her. In the winter, the straps must be loosened to fit the extra bulk of cold weather gear, but there is a handy extension on the front just for this purpose. We have flown three times across the Atlantic in this seat, used it with latch and the base, with just a seatbelt and the base, the seatbelt with shoulder belt around the back and with the lap & shoulder belt across the body of the seat. It is a wonderful seat and very safe. It isn't bulky and is aesthetically pleasing to boot!

Fast and in excellent condition, May 3, 2010
We got the car seat in a few days and in perfect condition. We received the color we ordered and we didn't have to pay fir shipping. We tried to buy it first from babies r us because we bought the stroller that goes with it there, bit they didn't have it, nor the online store, nor the actual manufacturer company (maxi-cosi). We found it here and bought it for the same price than it costs at babies r us, and again, no shipping.

Easy to use, July 12, 2010
Some infant carseats are so complex to figure out. This one is very intuitive and easy to use. I like the the directions are printed in the base as to how to install it into the car, very helpful if you forget to bring the manual out. The seat is easy to pop in and out of the base, and is secure when in the base. I use it with the Maxi-Cosi Foray Stroller - Choco Mint, and t is easy to put onto the base of the stroller and take off. The seat is lightweight, well constructed and looks really nice in person.
The car seat base does come with the product, I wasn't sure when I ordered.

ok, but I wish I had bought the Citi or the Pebble, April 14, 2010
I checked out the Mico's cousins - the Citi and the Pebble here in Germany and wish I had bought one of those. The Mico was cheaper with the base, but it seems heavy and bulky compared to the others. Those are the reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Otherwise it seems to be a nice infant carrier otherwise.

Great Car seat, November 7, 2009
Being and expectant father, I wanted to make the right purchase for safety products. I think I did with this item. The baby fits in snug and comfortable and securing him was a breeze.
The only thing I didn't like was that securing the base to the car was not as easy as I hoped. I wish there were new parent proof directions.
Price was right and I am very happy with the product.
