Maxi Cosi I Size Car Seat Review The seat is huge and soft with a wonderful feeling. It also has the added benefit of machine washable fabrics. The i-Size regulation uses weight instead of height to classify car seats. This results in better fitment and increased side impact protection. Use in conjunction with the Isofix Base for a simple Click & Go Installation. It is compatible with Isofix base from birth to 12 kg. Visual indicators are provided for the correct installation. Safety The Maxi Cosi I size car seat is a multi-purpose car seat designed to grow along with your child, from infant to toddler. It can be used in rear-facing (4-40 pounds and 19"-40") forward-facing (2-65 lbs and 29"-49") and as belt-positioning booster (40-100 pounds and 43"-52"). The seat meets the most current safety standards for children's cars R129/i-Size, and is compatible with the i-Size ISOFIX base. It comes with some impressive safety features, such as Dorel's G-Cell Side Impact Protection which is built into its headrest. This provides superior protection in case of a side-on collision. It also has a small but strong shell that absorbs the energy of an accident, keeping your child protected. The car seat comes with torso-side impact protection to shield your child's chest when an accident occurs. As the most renowned European brand for baby car seats, Dorel Juvenile (which owns Maxi-Cosi) has an advanced Technical Centre in Europe to design and test their carseats. This center combines the best of both worlds-traditional craftsmanship and technological advancement. The company is a long time member of UNECE which is the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, which helps develop and establish standards for child safety. To make installation easy for easy installation, the i-Size car seat is equipped with an i-Size ISOFIX base that connects to the car and connects the seat to the vehicle. The base comes with a rotating feature which allows you to move the seat of your child towards you. The seat can be put in by using lower anchors or the belt of your vehicle. The seat is cushioned and comes with soft strap covers to ensure comfort. The padded liner is also machine washable and dryer safe which makes for an extra plus. The car seat comes in various designs and colors that match your baby's personality. It is crucial to keep in mind that the car seat is very heavy and you may need to use towels to keep it upright during installation. The lower anchors aren't locked off and the only way to determine the correct angle for installation is by using the line that is on the decal. It is recommended to wait until your child is at least 5 years old before making the switch to a high-back booster, but this seat isn't able to get the majority of children to age 5 due to its narrow headrest height limit. Comfort Car seat comfort is crucial and the Maxi-Cosi Mica Eco i-Size is among the most comfortable choices in our car seat review. It comes with a variety of reclining options to ensure your child is at ease at all times. It has a soft cushion for children who are apprehensive and there's plenty space for older children to stretch out. It also features an innovative side impact protection that absorbs and distributes forces to safeguard your child. The seat also comes with an ideal storage compartment to keep your essentials in a convenient place as well as the cup holders are an ideal size to hold your child's favorite beverage. It also has a large UV-protected sun canopy which can be easily detached when not being used. Its base can be easily installed using the Isofix anchor points on your car. We were impressed by the indicator lights as well as the audible alarms that let you know the seat is fitted correctly to ensure that you do not leave your home without your child secure in the back of your car. The seat itself is very heavy and is difficult to maneuver using an attached seat belt, so we had to be careful when we threaded it. This seat is priced on the higher end of the spectrum for a car seat, especially when it is compared to other seats that offer similar safety and comfort features. We think this is mainly because it offers extended rearward facing travel up to 4 years, something that not all other seat manufacturers provide.
