Maxi Cosi I Size Car Seat Review
The seat is big and soft with a wonderful feel. It also comes with the benefit of machine washable fabrics.
The i-Size regulation relies on height rather than weight to classify car seats. This leads to more comfortable fit and greater side protection from impacts.
Use with the Isofix base for an easy Click & Go installation. It works with the base from birth to 12 kg, with visual indicators to ensure proper installation.
Safety
The Maxi Cosi I size car seat is a multi-purpose car seat that is designed to adapt to the needs of your child, from infant to toddler. It can be used as a rear-facing (4-40lbs and 19"-40") or forward-facing (265lbs and 29"-50") and as a booster seat (40-100lbs and 43"-52) The seat meets the most current safety standards for children in the car R129/i-Size, and is compatible with the i-Size ISOFIX base.
It has some impressive safety features including Dorel's G-Cell side impact protection which is integrated into the headrest, and provides superior protection in the event of a side on collision. It features a sturdy, but lightweight shell that absorbs the energy of an accident to keep your child safe. This car seat also offers the torso side impact protection that protects your child's chest in the event of an accident.
Dorel Juvenile, which owns Maxi-Cosi, has a highly sophisticated Technical Centre to design and test its carseats. This center is a blend of both worlds-traditional craftsmanship and technological advancement.

For an easy installation for quick installation, the i size car seat includes an i-Size ISOFIX base that connects to the car and connects the seat to the vehicle. The base also features an adjustable feature that allows you to move the seat towards you to make it easier for your child. The seat itself is able to be mounted using lower anchors or the belt of the vehicle.
The seat is padded and comes with soft strap covers for comfort. The liner is padded and can be machine washed and dried and dried, which is a bonus. The car seat comes in different colors and patterns that will match your baby's personality.
It is important to remember that the car seat is very heavy and you may have to use towels to hold it upright during installation. It doesn't also have a lock-off mechanism for the lower anchors and only has a line level on the decal to show the appropriate angle for installation. It is recommended to wait until a child is at least 5 before making the switch to a high-back booster, but this car seat is not able to take most children to age 5 due to its short headrest height limit.
Comfort
The Maxi-Cosi Mica Eco i-Size car seat is one of our most comfortable picks. It has multiple recline positions to make sure your child's comfort, plush padding for fussy babies, and enough room for older children to stretch out. It also has innovative side impact protection that absorbs and distributes force to protect your child.
The seat has a handy storage compartment for your essentials, and the cup holders can hold your child's favorite beverage. It also has a large UV protective sun canopy that can be removed easily when not in use.
Its base is easily installed using the Isofix anchor points on your car. The indicator lights and audible alerts signal that the seat is correctly fitted. This will ensure that you don't leave your home without your child safely secured in the back of your car. We had to be careful when threading the belt since it is very heavy and difficult to move.
This seat is on the more expensive part of a car seat, especially when it is compared to other seats that offer similar safety and comfort features. We believe this is because it offers extended rearward facing travel up to 4 years, which does not other manufacturers offer.
