Nice car seat but difficult to install. Also the clips are difficult to release once baby is in the car seat- took a bit of time to get used to

Loving this convertible car seat as a grandmother. I have 2 grands 1 year apart and this works perfectly for either age. 2 cup holders, reclines or can grow w children as a booster seat! Fits perfectly in my small sedan. The adjustable reclines help keep my grandbabies safe!

We Love this seat. I was a skeptical because my baby, a year old had not slept on a ride in the car, only cried almost every single minute of the car ride. Now we’ve had this seat a few days shy of a month. Since day one, THE VERY FIRST ride in this seat and she slept in the car, no fussing, not a tear shed. Every single ride since she has fallen asleep, no fussing, just babbling and comfortable…and that’s even with it being a hotttt summer in Minnesota, no air conditioning in the car as it just went out and not an easy fix/needs replacing. Baby is still happy!! And I’m so happy I bought this seat. I bought a color that was a little less expensive in the selection but in the car seat brand selection this one was a little pricier… I am glad I gave it a try as the return window with this company allowed for a good run to see how it performed. We will be keeping this seat and would re-purchase again and again. This is my third child, each child has hated the car. Now I think it was the issue of the sear as the problem and not the actual riding in the car. Also, we are still rear facing so it wasn’t the fact that baby had been turned forward, as to the fix in crying spells. I have two boys and a girl now… they all hated the car. They all have been nursed exclusively and attached to mama so, I thought that had something to do with it but now I feel like the comfort in this Maxi Cosi car seat must be like mama’s arms or even being held in the carrier/similar feel. The straps are just better placement around the shoulder and thigh. The head rest holds well while little one is riding/resting. The magnetic chest clip is superior!! The way the shoulder straps hold up and the way they are formed and how it lays on the collar/chest is way more comfortable for baby. She literally smiles and chats when I say “let’s go on a car ride!” And she happily loads in while I clip the straps in place. It’s really amazing. I don’t leave reviews for products purchased ever but I felt led to do this one with other struggling parents in mind. It really is almost too good to be true but I’ll gladly take it!! Life is better with this seat!! We actually love the blue color too!! Looks so nice and worth the price!! Last note is that it’s an easy seat to put in the car, easy to adjust headrest/back of the seat. Perfect right out of the box! I hope this helps someone!

My baby loves her new chair. She had the do a before and never slept good while we took a drive. As soon as I switched she started taking naps in the car sit. I am glad I switched her over. It’s also very easy to install and works well if you have two cars and need to switch around

I was refunded for the terrible Emme 360 spinning seat by Maxi Cosi as defective. I bought this one instead, and it's so plush and beautiful! I did save the cup holders from the old seat, to fit in this one...the cup holders this seat comes with, don't fit any of our cups! My issue with this seat, however, is that the base is TOO WIDE to fit between the latch anchors in our vehicles! I could only get one latch connected, then had to use the seatbelt to get the seat tight. I've never had this problem with any other seats.

I was stalking this car seat for a year and I’m happy I got it for this great deal! My toddler loves it

I really wanted to love this. I was so excited to get it for our baby as Maxi Cosi seems to have high stardards and high ratings. Received the item overnight which was great, but when taking out of the box, the seat was literally night placed right in the box. I understand minimizing packaging/plastic use, but the car seat had zero protection. On top of that, the car seat had the most overwhelming chemical smell as others have mentioned. So bad that I got a headache from it in the car, even after letting it air out. Weird for a car seat that’s supposed to be “nontoxic” materials to smell like that. In addition, my baby absolutely hated the car seat. She SCREAMED to the point that she couldn’t breathe. It’s WAY too bulky even around their head. The car seat would not stay reclined into position 2 or 3 at all and once install it was way too difficult to even get it reclined. Finally, it was impossible to get the LATCH system installed safely - the car seat base is wider than the latch system AND I couldn’t even get it tightened enough because it’s impossible to tighten in the right direction. If you want a good car seat for your baby, do not get this one.

This was purchased to replace a car seat after a crash, it’s been installed/uninstalled/reinstalled between a rental and our regular car, very easy, little wrestling. My daughter seems comfy, the fabric is soft and it’s easy to buckle. Its front back profile is smaller than other seats we’ve had.

Well made and super nice aesthetic with matching interior! It’s big but I like that for my 2 year old. Makes it feel more substantial and secure. Easy fasten and release. No more aching fingers lol! Only thing that takes some finagling is finding the right positioning for the between the leg buckles. They protrude a little and can press into your little ones leg. It didn’t seem to bother her too much unless she was cranky. Utilizing the little cushion that goes around the buckle is helpful. Overall, it is extremely comfortable for her and would definitely recommend.

this is my second maxi cosi and for good reason! i got into an accident and my child was unharmed and secured very well! this car seat is a little bulky but for good reason! the padding is great quality and feels amazing, it's easy to throw the padding in the washer, it cleans well, the buckle is magnetic and easy, great color selection, and the customer service is very empathetic and stellar! all in all this company is great and worth the money
