 "Well made, but too warm for some babies" 2009-08-14
By H. B. Garbe (Nu Joyzee)
I loved the concept of this and it's a big reason why I bought this car seat, but my baby is a very, very warm natured kid. This muff is great if you are going to be keeping your infant outside (which you most likely won't be) but to have in the car, even to have it unzipped and open in the front, it was still too warm against her back. I had to return it and just used layered blankets, which were easy to take on and off in the car to adjust to the temperature inside and outside in a flash. Otherwise, this is a great concept and was very well made, felt comfortable, etc.... it's just too hot.

 "maxi cosi - when safety counts!" 2010-07-24
By kiwi500 (chicago)
We purchased the maxi cosi mico as based on research on which infant seats are safe. We purchased the mico in phantom (black).





At first our baby HATED the seat. But maybe babies hate car seats in general? The base is easy to install in the car, and at first I also had some issues getting the car seat to click into the base. Silly me, it turns out that the tightening strap was getting in the way. Once this was moved to the side or up into the seat the base clicked in no problem at all.



Pros

Super light!! one of the lightest seats

Compared to e.g. Chicco, cotton seat cover = less sweaty baby

European design, sleek, lightweight

SAFE!

Cons

On the expensive side

Bit of a pain when you have to take the cover off to wash it. I couldnt get the bottom buckle cover back on again

The black seat gets H O T in summer. Summer covers are not available and the European accessories do NOT fit the US carseat.



My baby is 90th % for height at 5 months...she is the height of a 10 month old. She also weighs 18 pounds. We will be moving her into a convertible seat way earlier than planned. Her feet are starting to poke out over the edge of the mico and is getting a bit heavy for me to lift comfortably (but that would be the same in any car seat)





Overall: We love it, we would use it again and recommend it for others. And now my baby likes the seat too.

 "Unhappy" 2010-05-22
By R. Malinao
This is my first time writing a review but I have been compelled to do so with this car seat. I would like other parents to be aware of this car seat. We got this as a gift for my first son (2008). We endured using the car seat but once he was able to use a forward facing seat we jumped on it. Then we had our daughter shortly after and the memories of what we disliked about the seat arose.



If I had a choice I would NOT GET this car seat. My husband and I HATE this car seat. We would like to get a new one but feel like it's a waste of money because it keeps our daughter safe but you have to work at it.



1) The straps/harness are horrible to click together, even if she is wearing minimal clothes (thick clothes... forget about it! You'll find yourself removing your infants clothes while its freezing outside!

2) When removing the car seat from the base it gets stuck! ( I did the recall to fix the base, does not work) I feel like I'm gonna tear my rotator cuff muscles trying to get the seat off the base. The level to release the seat seems like its going to break, its made of plastic. I often worry about "what if" I had to take her out in an emergency situation and I can't because the seat always gets "stuck" to the base.

3) When I put the seat on the base I have to move it a couple of times to get it to "click".

4) The sun shade is a joke. It barely covers my kid. And you have to constantly put it at a certain place or it starts dragging on the floor and covers nothing.

5) Seat is not compatible with a lot of other strollers. I'm looking for a double stroller.

6) Lastly, its heavy!



This may seem like minimal complaints but it's a lot especially if you're trying to take care of a 2yr old and a newborn.

 "Have owned car seat for 5 months and love it!" 2010-05-14
By Helen Henwood (houston, tx)
I love this seat. I see some had problems with their base and the way the seat fit in the base, but mine fits perfectly fine. The defect is probably fixed by now. On that note I find the seat quite simple to latch, and I love that it slides so easily into the foray stroller. The ONLY thing I wish I could change would be the sunshade. I wish it were bigger and gave more coverage. But I havent found many infant seats with large sunshades anyway. I would suggest this seat to any parent looking for a nice cozy seat.

 "Not what I expected" 2010-02-01
By G. Kwan
Had I written this review when I first started using this I would've given it 5 stars however 9 months in I have this to say. My 9 month old who is small for his age (15 pounds, 27") no longer fits in this seat. The 5 point harness is difficult to latch up compared to the Graco that my friend has. It fits like a puzzle and then holding both pieces together you have to struggle to latch it. It was super convienent to remove from my car and pop into a Zapp stroller frame but I had expected to use this much longer than I did considering how much I paid for it ($169). Very disappointing especially when it states that it can be used up to 22 pounds which my baby is nowhere close to and 29 inches and he still has 2 inches to go. I would love to see someone try to fit a 22 pound 29inch baby into this seat. It would be next to impossible and I would bet money on it.

 "2007 model is a PAIN" 2009-10-17
By Looeybee
(Duplicate review) I have been struggling with this thing for the last 11 months. Now that we're finally moving onto a bigger seat I thought it would be a good time to write a review.

Like other people have said, this seat is great aesthetically. We got SO many complements on it. Plus I've never seen another one around, so it's rarity has made it a bit of a novelty. Ours is a vibrant blue color and black. But from what I can tell it isn't being manufactured in that color scheme anymore.

The frustration comes from it's functionality. For starters, taking the seat on and off of the base is MISERABLE! It usually takes several tries (and brute strength) to get the thing on or off. Because of this we never really used it as an infant carrier. It was just too much of a struggle. There is an adaptor available for snapping it into our bugaboo stroller, but I never bothered to get it because it was too hard to get the thing out of the base. However, that being said, there has been a recall on the base and I expect to have a new one soon. We'll see...

Unfortunately the recall does not include an improved buckle.

It's difficult to explain in words... but the bottom (crotch) portion of the 5 point harness is really hard to use. You have to hold both sides together, and then snap them into the buckle simultaneously. They are forever slipping apart, making it a challenge to buckle in a squirming kid. Also it has a tendency to catch the babies' clothing, and when this happens it won't snap. So, you have to pull the two (slippery) pieces together, push the babies' clothes out of the way, AND hold on to the buckle... all at the same time. It can be a challenge even when there is another adult there to help!

We have it in a VW Jetta, and while it fits there isn't any room to spare. Also the passenger in the front sear has to sit further forward than we would like in order to accommodate the baby seat in the (middle) back seat. Also, the few times we did carry it around as a carrier the sunshade fell down bellow the seat and ended up dragging along the ground. The only solutions were to remove it and carry it around with us separately, or to hold it up in your hand that is holding the handle (very awkward).

at. You can simply set the stroller seat aside for later when your son or daughter has outgrown the Mico. In addition to their unique look and design, Quinny strollers are some of the lightest and tightest folding baby strollers ever produced. The Buzz has a one-of-a-kind automatic unfolding mechanism, and the Zapp has the smallest folded dimensions of any stroller in the world.

 "I installed correctly but now we have a NIGHTMARE developing" 2010-03-06
By tfx (new york)
WHOOA... it's pretty bad -- got the pegs last night -- read the instructions -- I put the 'R' peg on the babie's left side as the manual states -- I pushed until I got the 'click' and now the thing won't come OFF! It's jammed in there pretty good -- it's the W/End so no customer support -- these pegs are going right back to Bugaboo OR the Mico is going back with a peg jammed in it -- the release button DOES NOT WORK!Awful design-- AVOID AVOID AVOID purchasing this combo!

 "Just be aware, the engineering here is miserable" 2009-12-10
By row_well_and_live (Chicago, IL United States)
1. Trying to get these things on the correct side is very easy to screw up, and if you do it wrong, you have to yank with all of your might to get them back out.



2. The adapters have to come off before you can put it in the car-seat base



3. Putting the car-seat on/off these adapters is extremely difficult and takes a LOT of force. I have no idea how even I'll be able to do it with a baby in the seat. I doubt my wife could do it now. You literally have to step on the frame of the stroller and pull very hard to free the carseat.

 "If you install it incorrectly - it is a nightmare to fix!" 2009-02-24
By Maggie (Tokyo)
This product needs a release button for when you have the parts on the wrong side. Otherwise, I'm sure it is a fine product, but I consider this problem a flaw. It should be more user friendly. That kind of frustration is the last thing a new parent needs to deal with.

 "Works fine, but be careful on which side goes to which" 2008-01-23
By A. Hynes (Ohio)
These adapters work fine, but be very careful that you use them the right way around, if not your going to be having hours of "fun" trying to get them to release from the car seat, not exactly the easiest thing to do. But if you follow the directions, they work well on the bugaboo, I wish they could stay on the care seat when not in use, but they are too big and prevent the car seat being placed into the base unit in the car.

You have to remove them when you take the Mico Car seat away from the Bugaboo frame, then release the adapters before you are ready to put the car seat into the car. (its not a big deal just a little extra step, and another chance to put them on the wrong way around when you got to use them again).



I will add either a color code or a label to one or both to make sure its easy to know which goes to the left and which goes to the right side.

 "bad testing" 2010-03-30
By Allegra Legrande (New York, NY)
I have used this (juice colored) seat for my daughter for the first 6 months. We got it b/c it fit on the Quinny buzz stroller, and thought it would be useful for when she was too tiny for the regular stroller attachment.



It did fit the stroller fine.



In the car, it can be a bit of a pain to get the top part latched into the base, and it never seems to align correctly -- sometimes the straps underneath get in the way, and you can't fit it in right.



And it is *heavy*. It feels awkward carrying it, and I can only make it very short distances.



Based on these, I would have probably given it 3 stars.



However, I just saw that independent "car seat chemical" testing on it (you'll need to look-up the web site yourself) revealed lead in the shade and clip. Bromine is all over it. Antimony is in the seat. And copper is in the shade.



Buyer beware. One star.

 "Chic car seat, with some issues." 2010-03-07
By L from Denver (Denver, CO)
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.

 "Nearly impossible to use the 5-point harness" 2010-01-07
By R. Lyubovitzky (NJ)
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 be fitted into the buckle. Not very handy for the perpetually hand-short parents. Additionally, the release button on the base sometimes gets stuck in the close position and then the top cannot click into place. They've sent everyone a sticker to let know that the release button has to be pulled again a few times when placing the top on the base. I guess enough people complained. Will be returning this one.
