Maxi-Cosi Mico AP Infant Car Seat
what parents are saying
I loved the fact that this was a light carseat. However was disappointed about the base recall. I didn't find out about it until after my son was born. Otherwise super comfy for baby. (Oct 18, 2017)

Maxi Cosi makes pretty car seats… in the words of weeSpring parents, they’re sleek and stylish, and definitely the ones you’ll gravitate toward in the store if you’re trying to avoid baby-stuff-overload. Downside: we’ve heard installation can be more than tricky… it won’t install securely (with or without the base) in the majority of cars. With a 5 pound start and 22 pound limit, it also doesn’t fit preemies or older infants. Our friends at The Car Seat Lady suggest the Cybex Aton 2 as an alternative.

It's made of comfortable and breathable material. Perfect for newborns but was outgrown quickly. It's okay for the price. Jul 13, 2021

It is very light weight. I personally don't like the shape of the handle. It makes it hard to carry. And the handle also creaks. I do love the material of the seat fabric. Apr 20, 2021

This seat was fine, but I ended up upgrading to the maxi cosi with moisture wicking material. This material shows a lot of wear after washing several times. Dec 02, 2020
Love this car seat. Light weight and easy to carry. My parents bought one to have when they have the baby over! Jul 31, 2020

This carrier is so light and easy to carry. My only issue was that the tightening pull is right up against the seat (if baby is clicked into the base) and make it hard to tighten. Otherwise LOVE it. May 23, 2019

I have a "Love/hate" relationship with this seat. I love how lightweight it is but it is so long it doesn't fit well in small cars and the handle moves a bit even when its locked in position. Oct 19, 2017

I love this infant car seat. It was incredibly durable and felt really secure while my daughter was in her seat. It attached really easily to my stroller and was very simple to install using a base. Jun 16, 2017

Lightweight, sleek and fits baby just perfect. Unfortunately I have big babies and mine won't make it 1 year before I have to replace, however, with it having a 22lbs limit. Dec 16, 2016

Super comfy my daughter falls right asleep in it. It is lightweight and easy to clean. It is a bit long though, so I would not recommend for compact cars. Dec 14, 2016

I received this carseat as part of the travel system. My son ended up hating the infant carseats but I do not think it was because of this seat in particular. Apr 27, 2016

Light. Works great with car seat and with base. Has plenty space for legs using the base Oct 25, 2015

So light--great for the 20 steps we have to take up & down between our house & car! Easy to get in and out of car--and compatible with our Stokke Scoot. Only complaint is the canopy--never stays on. Mar 30, 2015

Buckles easily snap and very light weight. Jul 29, 2014
So much lighter than other car seats. Very good construction (made in US) with good padding for baby. I use it on stroller with adapters. Jul 24, 2014
Very easy to use. Great design. Jun 10, 2014

This is lightweight, ergonomic handle for parents, snuggles baby right in, super comfortable fabric and seat. Baby falls asleep. 22lb limit will be fine for most babies until 1 year. Dec 13, 2016

we think this car seat is AMAZING!!! so incredibly light and easy to wash. baby loves it and we love it! Oct 08, 2014
The seat fails to yield a secure installation in the majority of cars - with or without the base (Maxi Cosi removed the European belt path on the carrier and doesn't offer a seat belt locking device on the base). It’s limited weight range (5 lbs to 22 lbs) means it isn’t great for preemies or big babies - and the straps get uneven and twist more than we see in other seats. Don't be confused - this seat is not micro... it takes up as much room in the car as seats that fit much bigger babies. Apr 16, 2014
