Cozy and sturdy!
April 28, 2017
My husband and I love this seat. It's super easy to make baby feel comfortable with the removable head rest and shoulder strap covers. Carrying the seat to and from the car is not as daunting compared to other seats we have. Plus it comes in cute colors and easy very easy to wash; doesn't get deformed in the machine.

This car seat is very light and easy to use. Great styling and very reasonable price point. It is also very easy to use with the Adorra stroller.

Lightweight, Comfy Car Seat!
April 28, 2017
We have the grey travel system, and this car seat is part of that. It's easy to maneuver, and I injured my elbow in an accident a few years ago, so this was a big thing for me. Because the handles are wide and the seat is pretty light, it is easier to get in and out of our vehicle and into the stroller. The fabric is jersey cotton- it's cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. There is an insert so it grows with baby! The only thing that I'd change about it--- the canopy doesn't come down as much as we'd like so on a really sunny day the sun is in his eyes when the car seat is in the stroller. We have to use an additional cover as well. Other than that it's a great seat!

Easy to care for

This car seat came wit our travel system and we love it. It was very easy to adjust as she grew. The material was very light weight, easy to care for and simple to take apart to wash. It was a breeze to transition from the base in the car to the stroller. We love this car seat.

Exactly what we needed
April 27, 2017
We brought home our newborn in the mico max and used it up until she was 9 months. I loved the way it was snug for her as a newborn and as she grew we were able to take the inserts out and she fit comfortably. The only thing I would say irritated me was that it was hard to get her buckeled in. The buckles would twist and it was hard to get them untwisted.

This seat is amazing! The fabric is comfy, durable and easy to clean.  The canopy was perfect to block the sun (and people) from getting to the baby.

Pros and cons...
April 27, 2017
Pros: This is the Cadillac of car seats- super comfy for baby, cushy, and soft fabrics The car seat is light- noticeably lighter than the Uppa baby Mesa The canopy is far-reaching, offering lots of protection  Cons: I had a very hard time following the installation instructions and I consider myself pretty assembly-savvy. I took it to a professional to install The straps are a pain to tighten once loosened which is a hassle when you are constantly having to account for wardrobe changes necessitated by the ever-changing weather. While light, it is bulky, a trade off for all the coziness  It all comes down to your priorities and your price point. There are definitely some wonderful features on this car seat and of course, safety is paramount. Hope we never have an experience to test out those features!

Wonderful infant car seat
April 12, 2017
We had the Maxi-cosi Mico for our first child 3 plus years ago and loved it! We just recieved the Mico Max 30 and it's the same great design. It is stylish, light weight and easy to click in and out of the car base. This is by far the best infant car seat we have seen.

Good product despite first impressions
March 21, 2017
With our first child we had a Chicco Keyfit 30 car seat, so our experience with the Mico Maxi is in comparison to that. It is certainly more streamlined and lightweight than our previous car seat, which at first makes it seem more flimsy/less secure. The interior fabric and padding did appear very comfy and snug and the infant positioning pillow kept his head in tight, so we felt our little one would be safe. It also will keep him cooler when the weather warms up. A pro compared to the Keyfit is the canopy, which extends further over baby to block the sun and elements. It was also nice that the carseat included inserts for a preemie (although we did not need to use it), and we liked that we didn't need additional inserts for an average newborn (with Keyfit, needed to add stuff). We use an Uppababy Cruz stroller and like that there is an adapter for dropping this carset in directly, as well as the fact that maxi Cosi makes a click-and-go stroller that we may purchase as well. Installing the base was easy with the LATCH system, but the base was longer than the Keyfit so hits the front seat if you have someone sitting up front who needs more legroom. We did find when clicking the seat into the base that it doesn't have as audible a "CLICK" to reassure you it is locked in, but when we jiggled it to make sure it was in it was very stable. You also do need to put a good amount of pressure on the handle buttons to swing the handle up. Overall we were happy with the product and can see it is higher-end than the Chicco we previously used, and the positives outweigh the negatives. We would recommend it.

Great Car Seat
February 21, 2017
Let me start off by saying the design of this limited edition car seat is just beautiful! The copper/gold embroidery really stands out against the black and white cityscape. I have already gotten many compliments in the one month that I have owned it.Aside from the aesthetic of the car seat, it is also provides great comfort and safety, which are the most important factors. I had previously owned the older model of the Mico with my older child, and they have definitely made some improvements with the newer model. It is much lighter, and the addition of the rebound bar is a plus! I highly recommend this car seat for those in the market for an infant car seat.

Make sure it fits in your car
February 16, 2017
Generally, this car seat is okay. Beside the fact that my infant hates being in her carseat, it is easy  to use and the fabric is very soft. The major downside to this car seat is that it barely fits in my car. I have a Hyundai Santa Fe and I can only place it in the middle back-seat without rendering the passenger seat completely useless. I am shocked how much space this car seat takes up. Please be sure that this fits in your vehicle before you decide to keep!

I love this car seat. My son was born 3#5oz and weighed 5#2oz when he left the hospital the straps can be tight enough for small baby's I have a Chevy cobalt and it fits just fine in my car, I'm 5'10" my husband is 6'2" and we can both drive with moving the seat all the way forward for the car seat, its light weight and easy to carry and I have recommended this car seat to many people, also for a baby to leave the NICU they must pass a car seat test this means they sit in the car seat for 2 hours hooked up to monitors and his passed in this car seat

I love this car seat. Having an 18 month old plus an infant this seat is very lightweight where I can hold the seat in one hand and hold my other baby's hand! The colors are true to picture and install is very easy. Ordered this and received it 2 days later. Great company to buy from! Will continue to buy from Albee baby! I'm already looking at maxi cosi convertible car seats for my second. I especially love the many different color options!

January 22, 2017
Honestly, I do not like this car seat. In the summer my baby was coming out of it wet like he just had a bath. The fact that my baby boy was 20lbs and didn't fit in it anymore is scary since they say it was supposed​ to fit babies until they are 30lbs. Horrible car seat overall. I will use it for my second child just because I dont have any other option to buy a new one, but I would definitly not recoment this what so ever !!!

Great overall car seat
January 20, 2017
The maxi cosi mico max 30 comes with everything you would need to safely transport your baby. It provides inserts to protect preemie sized babies but you would probably not need the booster seat pad and shoulder inserts for normal sized babies. Ours is 19 3/4 inches and 7 pounds, 3 ounces and we did not need them. The head pad is handy as a pillow for the baby and also to protect the head. The base is easy to install and fits well in the back middle seat of our Honda Accord. With it in place, there is plenty of room for two adults on either side. The canopy covering stays up and is sturdy.
Pros
  • - provides everything you would need to protect a baby from preemie size to normal
  • - very well constructed, built to last
  • - easy to remove coverings to wash

I am so extremely disappointed in this car seat. Its so long that it barely fits in my CHEVY TAHOE. Anyone who knows cars knows this truck is HUGE. When the car seat is in the car, the passengers seat is completely useless. It's such a disappointment. I don't know if I will ever buy another car seat from this brand after knowing they would design this car seat so poorly. I am really disappointed. Should have tested this car seat before throwing the box away so I could have returned it. But who would have thought this wouldn't fit in one of the largest SUVs on the road!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW is all I have to say. Wouldn't recommend this brand to anyone.

Extremely Long!!
November 1, 2016
I was so excited to use this car seat but over the last 2 months have been disappointed. The main issue I have is how long the car seat is. I drive a midsize SUV and it barely fits in my backseat! My passenger front seat is literally pushed all the way up to the dashboard in order to fit the car seat in. We have the same base in my husbands 2016 F150 and it fits just enough to not have to move the front seat up. If you've been in a newer F150 you know how spacious the backseat is. I honestly can't believe nobody else has complained about this yet. My other issue is the strap protectors seem really bulky for newborns. Before leaving the hospital the nurses actually told us to remove them because it was way too bulky around her neck. We actually ended up buying different strap protectors. My last complaint is the slim options you have for a compatible stroller. We went with the Quinny & after paying $400 it is a piece of junk. So flimsy, no storage or drink holder. I do love the looks of this car seat but if I could do it over I would go with a different brand. For goodness sakes I can't even use my passenger seat.

I love how light this seat is. I have arthritis and some infant car seats weigh over 25 lbs. I can easily strap my child in, latch in the base and unlatch by myself. Plus it looks nice.

I registered for this car seat in hopes of making life a bit more convenient it turned out to be the opposite. The base attaches easily and the seat itself is very attractive, my issue was with the locking system. More often than not, the seat would not fully attach to the base. Sometimes it would even make a noise to sound as though it were attached but I could easily just life the seat from the base. My sons life could have been compromised if I hadn't been so diligent about being sure the seat was actually attached. Thank god we weren't in an accident in the short time we used this thing. I didn't have my receipt as it was a baby shower gift so I couldn't even exchange this seat out! Overall HUGE disappointment!

Our favorite infant bucket seat
July 31, 2016
We love everything about these seats! We tend to have tall babies, so the extra length that the Maxi Cosi offers is amazing! We would recommend these seats all around. Even in the base, they are nice and narrow as we had to go three car seats across in our Prius - 2 Dionos and this Maxi Cosi!

  • Every day travel. It fits in our double stroller and in the back seat of our car.

Great except for the canopy
June 3, 2016
This was my first experience with a car seat and I live in a big city so my priorities were weight, safety, and looks. I love the newborn inserts because my son was newborn size until he was almost three months. What I absolutely hate about this car seat is the canopy. It's droopy when it gets pushed back and if it's not fully extended. Since I'm in the city I walk through a gangway to get in my back door. Because the canopy dangles to rubs against the side of the building and bad multiple tears after a month. The canopy is removable but you really need the canopy when baby is sleeping which is usually the only reason I carry him in it. I wouldn't buy this again simply for the canopy

So far out of all the maxi cosi infant car seats, this one is my favorite.( I had older model of mico AP, newer mico Ap, Maxi cosi Prezi and this one is my 4th of this brand all within last year, with my 3rd child I really had hard time finding the right car seat for her as my original plan of using Britax b safe failed in keeping my daughter from sweating) the down side to AP is that they're perfect for smaller babies, mine was 0ver 9 lbs at birth. Then I tried Prezi and after 6 weeks as I had my childs well baby check up, Reality hit me that my daughter is 30inches and Prezi is up to 29 inches, still with at least 5 months left till baby turns 1, I tried convertible Graco, then I missed having the luxury of transferring the sleeping baby into stroller, so finally I hope I settled with this one) The breathable fabric and the ease of use are all great. The only down side that it's slightly wider where it snaps into the adaptors on my strollers and fits very snugly, I liked the Prezi on adaptors better, yet Prezi car seat was way too heavy for us.

Not the right color
April 20, 2016
I got this car seat in Gray Gravel and like the features but I had a problem with the color . In the main listing of this car seat the first pic shows a nice gray but the car seat it's more like in the second pic a sun faded gray ( I personally didn't like it more since I was expecting this bluish-gray) .... I just returned this one and got the sparkling gray instead (hope it's what the picture shows :) ) I had Maxi Cosi before and like the improvements they made from the older model I had before (5 years ago with my first son)

Sytlish and warm car seat
April 10, 2016
It feels pretty warm with foot cover and fiber is nice. Fully support the small baby here. However, it is not that light as I thought. The base especially the anti-rebound bar is a little bit challenging to well fixed in my car. I have to use pool noodles to make level line parallel with the ground
Pros
  • pretty warm with foot cover and fiber is nice
Cons
  • not that light, base installation challenges

This seat was great for my son! It was a tad too roomy in the head rest when we brought him home, but it soon fit perfectly. In fact, my fast growing son outgrew it sooner than expected and we moved him to the convertible seat at 15 weeks. The seat is slightly narrow, so if you have a chunkster like mine, you won't use it long. However, it was perfect while it lasted...so comfortable my son always fell asleep within a few minutes of being in it.
Pros
  • rebound bar
  • soft fabric
Cons
  • narrow seat

The material from which is made (bamboo) feels amazing on the skin. Which is what we were looking for because of bad experiences with other materials such as nylon making babies sweat too much. Who knew bamboo could feel so great?! It also is surprisingly light which is a BIG plus for me. I'deal for when the husband won't be around to help out to carry it.

Initially, I expected to be impressed by the Prezi, but was immediately won over by the Mico Max 30 when comparing the two at a local retailer. I love the thick, extremely easy to toss and wash/dry fabric. The material is moisture wicking and super padded and the sun/weather visor is flexible and full coverage. The color options are fun and customizable and the seat is extremely lightweight. I had chosen the Chicco Keyfit in the past, but much preferred the Mico's looks and feel.
Pros
  • Lightweight
  • Machine Washable/Dryable
  • Padded Comfort
  • Colorful
  • Safer Base

Perfect Car Seat!
December 2, 2015
After having researched multiple highly rated car seats, we decided on the Maxi Cosi Mico Max 30. Other reviews are correct in that it does leave a large footprint in the backseat of a car, so definitely measure to make sure it will fit your vehicle. It fits well in the back of an E-Class Mercedes and a Subaru Outback. The reason I picked this car seat is (1) safety ratings, and (2) ease of use. It has been so easy to put in and out of the car. Definitely recommend!
Pros
  • convenient, comfortable, modern, safe
Best Uses
  • travel, carrier, car seat
Cons
  • takes up a lot of room in the back seat

Just what I was looking for! My son loves going in it! I especially love how lightweight it is, it is so easy to carry and to lift in and out of the car. The LATCH system made the base super easy to install in both of our cars. Another great thing I found was how easy the fabric was to throw in the washing machine after there was spit up on it. Overall I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
