 Love This Seat Jan 04, 2010
By M. J. Steinberg
"Gadget Junkie"
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.

great find, way better than my Graco Safe Seat Nov 01, 2010
By Nancy Jo
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.

Very Happy Jan 06, 2010
By S. Kushner
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.

Love It! Jun 18, 2011
By NatchoCheese
My baby loves this car seat! It was a lifesaver! The colors are perfect and it is so comfy... Other reviews say that it has a low max weight and height, but as the mother of a larger baby (she was 9 pounds and 22" when she was born) i find this seat perfect! when a baby is 20 pounds, carrying them in a car seat is HEAVY! who wants to carry around a 28 pound baby in a 10 pound car seat??? NOT ME! we are switching to a convertible soon... sad to leave the mico. IT'S AWESOME! (Tip- buy the Quinny Buzz, it is an AWESOME complement to the mico!)

10 months on & still love it Aug 06, 2010
By Kat Woman
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!
