Safety Ratings
There are a lot of different infant car seats available on the market, and they all vary from really excellent to not so good. It is worth doing some research prior to purchasing an infant car seat so you know what to look for and which are the most highly rated. The good news is that even most affordable no-name infant car seats tend to perform well in crash tests.
Maxi cosi is a European company that has been providing safety for children since 1984, is now bringing their expertise to the US. They offer a line of rear-facing carseats. The Mico Max Plus is their latest offering and it looks fantastic.
One thing that sets this seat apart is that it's able to be with the rear facing position for a longer period of time than other seats. This is important because research shows that babies are safer to be rear facing as long as possible. The Mico Max Plus can be used rear facing up to 2 years!
Another thing that makes this seat distinct is it comes with a recline feature. This feature isn't found in the majority of infant car seats, but it could help your child to fall asleep. The seat is also well padded, and the headrest/SIP is also.
The Mico Max Plus has one negative: it is not as easy to set up as other infant car seats. It's harder to get the seat into the correct position and you need to work harder to tighten the straps. It's a bit of a learner's curve to use the LATCH anchors and tether.
Overall though, the safety ratings for this car seat are very high. It was among the top performers during our crash test and the dummy's head as well as chest experienced very low forces of g.
This seat will not last longer than other models. According to CDC growth charts, your child will be outgrowing it at around age 3 and it's hard to make them reach five in this car seat. It has a maximum weight limit of 40lbs, and one height adjustment. You'll probably need to switch to a backless booster at this point or go with a bigger seat.
User-Friendliness
Maxi-Cosi car seats designed for babies are among the easiest to use on the market with features that make buckling and unbuckling a breeze. They are also light and compact, making them easy to carry around. They also fit in most cars. They can also be combined with premium strollers to create travel systems that allow babies to enjoy a luxurious ride from the time of birth.
You're looking for a baby car seat that makes every journey comfortable and easy, whether you're taking a trip with the family or doing around for errands. In our user-friendliness tests, we considered a variety of factors that impact the general usability of a seat. The ease of installation and base adjustment as well as the ease of putting a child in the seat while securing the harness, and getting the child out were all included. We also examined the fit of the seat to our vehicle, and how well LATCH functioned with various vehicles.
The Mico 30 scored the highest in our user-friendliness tests, with scores that were higher than its rivals. Its light-weight design makes it simple to transport and it's compatible with most top strollers. This makes it a perfect choice for busy parents. The seat has a sun canopy with multiple positions and a flip-out visor to provide ample protection for your child. The ergonomic handle is designed so that it hugs your hips, reducing the strain on your back.
Mico's seat cushions are popular. They're made of self-wicking fabric that deodorizes the fabric and draws liquids away from the baby. It's easily removed and machine washable, making it quick and easy to clean. Plus, the included infant insert offers extra neck and head support for infants with smaller heads. In an earlier Consumer Reports crash test, two of the Mico 30 LATCH straps tore right through the seat belt path. This could reduce the safety margin in a serious frontal collision. This was a rare occurrence however it is important to be aware that this could happen when installing the car seats.
Comfort
As a new father or mother your baby's comfort is of paramount importance. The best way to keep them comfortable and happy in the car is by using Maxi-Cosi's infant car seat with a great recline and plenty of head support. This is especially important when the seat is rear facing since babies are more vulnerable to heat and pressure in their heads.
Maxi Cosi has a range of options for newborns that meet our standards for comfort. Their range includes ISOFIX bases and seatbelts that are recommended for babies to reduce the chance of an incorrect installation. The company also offers a range of travel systems that can make life easier for you and your baby, including the award-winning Mica and its most recent version called the Mico Max Plus.
The brand new Mica is the first car seat that offers 360 degree rotation which is an excellent aid when traveling with newborns or small children. This feature can also be helpful for parents suffering from back or neck pain. One MFM user said that the seat was comfortable for children and was like an La-Z-Boy designed for babies. It's also made of eco-friendly fabric that are resistant to fire and machine washable, so it's a great choice for green-minded moms.
Another option for newborns is the new Magellan that comes with side impact protection for the torso, which can protect babies from injury in the event of a collision on the side. It also features a padded safety harness padding on the headrest to ensure that children are safe and comfortable in the event of an accident.
The Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix and 2wayFix, are both highly loved by parents of older toddlers and babies for their comfort. The seats are large and come with a handy storage compartment under the base to store additional toys and other accessories. They also have adjustable leg support that can be raised or lowered according to the height of your child, and are compatible with a variety of strollers. The strollers are slightly heavier than other models, however the safety standards they meet are more than enough to make up for it. The FamilyFix has a rigid connector for LATCH that is easier to tighten than the soft connectors that are used by other brands. It is rated top in terms of safety and user-friendliness.
