Maxi-Cosi Mico Luxe + Review
The Maxi-Cosi Mico Luxury+ is one of the most popular infant car seats available on the market. It scored high in our tests for safety, ease of use, and comfort.
Our newborn Huggable Images doll is 2 inches too small for this seat, however normal-sized newborns will fit with the light birth weight routing, as well as the smaller harness loops.
Safety Ratings
There are a variety of infant car seats on the market. They vary from being great to not so great. It's a good idea to do some research before you buy an infant car seat to ensure that you know what to look for and which ones are the most highly rated. Even the cheapest infant car seats that are not brand names tend to perform well in crash tests.
Maxi cosi, a European company that has been providing safety for children since 1984, now brings their experience to the US. They have a line of rear-facing only carseats. The Mico Max Plus is their latest offering and it looks great.
One thing that sets this seat apart is the fact that it can be used rear facing for a longer period of time than most other seats. This is crucial because studies show that babies are safer rear facing for as long as they can. The Mico Max Plus can be used rear facing up to 2 years!
The seat is also unique because it features a reclining feature. This feature is not found in most infant car seats, but it can make it easier for your child to fall asleep. The seat also offers plenty of padding. The headrest/SIP is very nicely padded too.
The Mico Max Plus has one negative: it is not as easy to install as other infant car seats. It's more difficult to get the seat into the correct position and you need to work harder to tighten the straps. It's a bit of learning curve to use the LATCH anchors and tether.
Overall this car seat has a high safety rating. It's top-performing in our crash test and it has extremely low g-forces on both the chest and head of the dummy.
This seat will not last as long as other models. According to CDC growth charts, your child will begin to outgrow it at around age three, and it's difficult to make them reach 5 in this car seat. It has a weight limit of 40lbs and one height adjustment. You'll probably need to switch to a backless booster at this point, or opt for a bigger seat.
Easy of Use
Maxi-Cosi car seats designed for infants are among the easiest to use on the market with features that make buckling or unbuckling an easy task. They're also lightweight and compact, which makes them easy to carry around and fit in most vehicles. They can also be combined together with strollers of premium quality to create travel systems that allow babies to enjoy a comfortable ride right from the moment they are born.
When you're running errands for your newborn or going on your family on a vacation, you want an infant car seat that can make every journey comfortable and easy. In our ease of use tests, we looked at various aspects that affect a seat's overall user friendliness. It was how easy it is to set up the seat and its base, change the harness's positions, put a child in the seat and secure the harness and then remove the child from the seat. We also examined how well the seat would fit in our vehicle, and how the LATCH system was compatible with different vehicles.
The Mico 30 scored the highest in our comprehensibility tests, scoring scores that were higher than its competition. Its lightweight design makes it easy to transport and is compatible with most top strollers, making it a great option for parents on the go. The seat also comes with a multi-position sun canopy and the visor that flips out to provide plenty of protection for your little one and the ergonomic handle is designed to curve around your hips, putting less stress on your back.
We also loved the seat pad of Mico, which is crafted with self-wicking fabric that eliminates odors and draws liquids away from the baby. It's easy to remove and machine washable for quick and simple cleaning. The included infant insert provides additional neck and head protection for smaller babies. In a recent Consumer Reports crash test, two of the Mico 30 LATCH straps tore right through the seat belt path. This could decrease the safety margin in a major frontal collision. Although this was a uncommon event, it's crucial to consider the possibility of this issue when installing the car seat.
Comfort
As the new father or mother the comfort of your baby is of paramount importance. The best way to keep them happy and comfortable in the car is using Maxi-Cosi's infant car seat that has a good recline and plenty of head support. This is particularly crucial when the seat is rear facing as babies are more susceptible to heat and pressure on their heads.
Maxi Cosi has a variety of options that meet our comfort criteria for babies. Their range includes ISOFIX bases and seatbelt installations that are recommended for babies to minimize the risk of incorrect installation. They also have a range of travel systems to make life with your newborn as simple as it can be with the award-winning Mica and its most recent version, the Mico Max Plus.
The new Mica car seat is the first to offer 360-degree rotation, which can be very helpful for transporting babies or children. This feature can also be beneficial for parents suffering from neck or back problems. The seat has plenty of padding to keep kids comfortable with one MFM test subject stating that it feels like the La-Z-Boy for babies. It's made from eco-friendly fabrics, which are machine washable and fire-resistant.
Magellan is another option for newborns. It provides torso-side collision protection, which protects babies from injury if there is a collision on the side. It also comes with a cushioned headrest and safety harness that ensures that children are safe and comfortable, especially in the case of an accident.
The Maxi-Cosi FamilyFix, as well as 2wayFix are both highly reviewed by parents of more advanced toddlers and babies for their comfort. The seats are spacious and come with a handy storage compartment underneath the base for additional toys and other accessories. The leg supports can be adjusted to meet the height of your child and are compatible with a variety of strollers. The strollers weigh a bit more than the competition but the safety standards they meet make up for it. The FamilyFix has a rigid connector for LATCH that is much easier to tighten compared to the soft connectors used by other brands. It is rated top in terms of safety and user-friendliness.
Installation
Installing a car seat is the first step towards guaranteeing your baby's safety. This is why we offer an array of simple-to-use infant car seats that can be a simple click-in-and-go. Our Baby Car Seat Tool can assist you in determining the best cosi that best suits your family's lifestyle and the vehicle type. We also recommend using an ISOFIX base to ensure a secure Click & Go installation. But if you don't have ISOFIX anchor points in your vehicle our car seats can be installed using a standard seat belt.
Maxi-Cosi infant car seats are designed for easy entry and exit for you and your child whether you travel by train, car or plane. Many of our convertible infant car seats can be used in conjunction with a stroller, creating an entire travel system. The CabrioFix i-Size, for example can be used in conjunction with the FamilyFix stroller to create an entire travel system from birth.
Our fashionable accessories and washable fabric covers will keep your child's seat looking brand new. Our PureCosi foam and fire-resistant fabrics are free from added wool and chemicals, which is better for your child as well as the planet. Our Mico Luxe baby car seat comes with ClimaFlow Technology that regulates the temperature. The removable infant head and lumbar liners guarantee the perfect fit.
The majority of our car seats can be installed in the middle rear seat of your vehicle to offer maximum protection. The Pria All-in-One Car Seat, for example, has a stability leg that has anti-rotation that restricts the backward and forward movement of the seat to prevent neck and head injuries. It also comes with an indicator that changes from green to red to confirm correct installation with either the belt system for vehicles or LATCH system.
Our Coral 360 and Pebble Plus car seats are both approved for use with lap belts in airplanes. (Only rear-facing). Install the seat using the blue belt loops on the airline seat. Then, use car seat maxi cosi Pushchairs & Prams to ensure your child's safety. Our FamilyFix 360 Pro bases rotate using one hand, making it easier to move the car seat from and onto the plane.
