what parents are saying
I don't "regret" I feel like it's a safe seat and I like the style of it - but it is complicated to install rear-facing. I do like that the cover is completely removable and machine washable. (Feb 20, 2018)

Straps are always hard to tighten, and recently the headrest adjusting feature has stopped working. We own two and both are not great. I do love the magnetic chest clip. Sep 21, 2023

This seat is plush and the washable fabric is great, but it's big so won't fit all vehicles, the harness is VERY hard to tighten, and our kid sized out quickly based on fit (before stated limits). May 15, 2023

Did not like this seat. Very bulky, hard to tighten latch system. Returned it. Apr 14, 2023
My favorite thing about this seat is how easy it is to adjust between different kids. I purchased this seat as a foster parent and it is so easy to convert between rear and forward facing. Dec 21, 2022

Love the clips to hold harness out of the way. Easy install. But so hard to pull tight. Have to pull the straps at the back to help tighten. Aug 28, 2022
It’s comfortable and stylish and my baby loves it Aug 26, 2022

We’ve had 2 of these now and love them. Easy to assemble and so incredibly soft and cushy for babies. Helped my child’s carsickness once we converted to this seat. The new ones come with 2 cup holders Jul 01, 2022

As parents should know. This product was recalled for the feature that made it worth the money the 85 pounds is now reduced to 65 pounds for harness straps. Bummer this was a comfortable seat. Apr 07, 2022

This is a great seat! I loved the bohemian pattern we purchased, and that was my biggest reason for buying the maxi cosi. It’s served us well! A bit pricy, but all in all a good seat. Aug 09, 2021

Straps work great, cover removes easily for cleaning. Seat belt clips on side are great and larger weight limit is great for keeping kids in the 5 point harness longer. Apr 18, 2021

My daughter enjoys the car after switching to this seat. It seems a little bit bigger and comfortable for her. The only downside for me is it can be difficult to tighten. Feb 18, 2021

Best car seat we have bought. It is suoer comfortable and neither of our boys complain on long drives. When rear facing it allows for a better head positioning than other car seats. Dec 20, 2019

I'm totally in love with this carseat. It's super comfy and easy to clean. My toddler has used it since she was 5 months old and it has grown with her. She also gets good head support for naps. Sep 26, 2019

Rear facing has a nice tilt. Feels sturdy but roomy for baby to move around. Love that it will last a long time and the cover is easily removed for washing. Fits my Nissan Versa Hatchback w/o issue. Sep 10, 2019

Another great Maxi Cosi seat. Super comfortable, and my older kid didn’t max out the harness height until after 5yrs. He wouldn’t never made it to 85lbs, though. Aug 26, 2019

I've had this carseat for about a year now and I'm so glad we purchased it! My daughter is so cozy in it. I love that the seat is washable, which came in handy after she threw up in it! It's sturdy! Aug 22, 2019

This seat is awkward to use rear facing for a toddler. Over time, the straps became difficult to adjust. It eventually got so bad that I had to replace the seat. I went with a different brand. May 21, 2019

We just switched our little to this seat at 5 months. She loves being able to see out of window (was getting fussy in infant seat). Reclines nicely, sturdy, and easy to remove seating to clean! Apr 21, 2019

I wish I had done more research. I don't love how the chest piece clips together, tightening the straps is a challenge. Apr 18, 2019

Hate this. Seat is easy enough to install however I never feel that it is in "right". The straps ALWAYS get twisted and I cannot get my son tight enough. My husband has to tighten him every time. Apr 17, 2019

Regret! Was recommended by my friend (only used as forward facing). Rear facing: difficult to tighten to the seat and difficult to tighten my baby in. The straps seem too loose even when I pull HARD. Jun 26, 2021
- Amy K.
Ellicott City, Maryland
My son preferred this toddler car seat over the Nuna Rava (which made his head always fall forward if he fell asleep -- this one does not). Only negative is that the strap to tighten is difficult Sep 19, 2019

I have heard that this seat is incredibly safe, however it was somewhat hard to install and it’s tough to tighten/loosen the straps. I do love that the cover is removable and machine washable. Feb 13, 2019

We really like this convertible seat, I don't have much to compare it to, but it seems pretty comfy for our baby, and I love the little clips on the side to holdthe straps. Easy to install too Jul 22, 2017

I love this product. I have 4 of them. Although they are a little bigger than some other convertibles, they are solid and comfortable for my toddler. Jul 17, 2017

Changed from love to regret. This car seat is so challenging to tighten the straps. We are extremely dissapointed with how this seat functions for the price we paid. I definitely regret this purchase. Mar 03, 2017

I bought this for my daughter because it looked safe and that's all I wanted! But after using it for almost two months we really hate it! Its very bulky, the straps are hard to use. Sep 13, 2016
