Safety
The Maxi Cosi I size car seat is a multi-purpose car seat that is designed to grow along with your child from infant to toddler. It can be used either rear-facing (4-40lbs and 19"-40") or forward-facing (265lbs and 29"-50") and also as a booster seat (40-100lbs and 43"-52) The seat meets the latest safety standards for children's cars R129/i-Size, and is compatible with the i-Size ISOFIX base.
It comes with some amazing safety features like Dorel's G Cell side impact protection that is built into the headrest and offers superior protection in a side-on collision. It is a sturdy but small shell that absorbs the energy of an accident to keep your child safe. This car seat also offers the torso side impact protection, which protects your child's chest during an accident.

To make installation easy for quick installation, the i size car seat includes an i-Size ISOFIX base which connects to the car and secures the seat to the vehicle. The base also features an adjustable feature that allows you to move the seat toward you to make it easier for your child. The seat can be erected by using lower anchors or belts from your vehicle.
The seat is cushioned and comes with soft strap covers for comfort. The padded liner can be washed in the machine and dried as an added benefit. The car seat comes in different patterns and colors that match your baby's personality.
One thing to be aware of with this car seat is that it is top heavy, and you may need to use towels to help keep the seat upright during installation. It also doesn't have a lock-off mechanism for the lower anchors and has a line on the decal to indicate the proper angle for installation. It is recommended to wait until your child is at least 5 before changing them to a high-back booster, but this seat is not able to take most kids to 5 due to its narrow headrest height limit.
Comfort
Maxi-Cosi Mica Eco-i-Size car seat is one of our most comfortable options. It offers a variety of recline positions to ensure that your child is always comfy and has soft padding for fussy babies and space for older children to stretch out. It also comes with an innovative side impact protection that absorbs and distributes forces to safeguard your child.
The seat has a handy storage compartment for your essentials, and the cup holders can be used to hold your child's favorite drink. It also comes with a large, UV-protected sun canopy that is easily removed when not being used.
Its base is easily installed using the Isofix anchor points on your vehicle. The indicator lights and the audible alerts let you know that the seat is correctly fitted. This ensures you never leave your home without your child safely secured in the back of your vehicle. We had to be careful when threading the belt since it is very heavy and difficult to move.
The seat is expensive for a group+ seat, especially when compared to other seats that provide similar safety and comfort features. We believe this is because it offers extended rearward facing travel of up to 4 years, which not all other seat manufacturers offer.
