I absolutely would. Knowing that it fits both my 2 year old and almost 4 year old makes it great value for money. After some googling and research and learning about to the high standards the seat has been tested to I couldn't not reccomend it. It's expensive but you get a lot for your money - going straight from birth to 4 years you're essentially getting both an infant carrier and the next size up seat in one so great value for money. Also it follows I size which is another bonus PLUS it can be rearfacing for much much longer that just an standard infant carrier which is something very important to me as a mum.

Installation was very straightforward. I read the instruction manual but I preferred the Maxi-Cosi online installation video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w-Z8Ujub6O8

Maxi-Cosi Mica Eco 360º i-Size Group 0+/1 Car Seat - Black Extra Info:

Placing your little one into a car seat has never been more relaxed with the 360° rotation capabilities of the Maxi-Cosi Mica. Installation with ISOFIX for ease of mind and compliant with i-Size safety standards, it allows you to rotate the car seat for easy placement of your little one. However, Matilda is 7 months now and this car seat is absolutely perfect for her. It is practical, as you can wash the cover and the colours are great to hide any little marks. She looks comfortable in it and most of all, she looks safe in it. The size of the car seat and it’s weight really reassures me that she would be protected in case of an emergency, particularly a side impact crash and peace of mind is really important for a new (newish) mum! The fact that it has passed all the new safety tests, adds to my reassurance. I waited a long time for my miracle baby so I need to know that she’s as safe as possible. However, this will depend on whether your local recycling centre has facilities to separate hard or rigid plastics from other materials. It's worth calling the local recycling tip to see if it offers this service, otherwise it may have to go into landfill. Easy Sliding handle: easy to slide in and out with one hand, with the centered handle, or to slide in and out with two hands on the side.

so it comes as one solid piece, which means there was no further assembly required or extra tools needed to put this together.

We wouldn't use it from newborn personally as it is so much more convenient to be able to lift the seat in and out of the car and use as part of a travel system, but when they are too big or too heavy to be lifting in and out this is a good seat for the next stage. I also dont think I'd be happy with how upright it is for a newborn either (unless the insert rectifies this issue somewhat?) The rotation just meant I could get him in easy, pull the straps tight without having to be on a funny angle and then just spin him into position. And it was so easy to use! Kelly: Possibly the only things that I would change about the Mica is to make the top harness height slightly higher to cater for tall children and maybe moving the swivel button onto the side to make it easier to get to. But other than its a really great seat - simple to install, comfortable for the child, and easy to operate and get them in and out on a daily basis!

ClimaFlow for temperature control: Designed with ventilation panels, breathable foam and mesh fabrics to enhance air circulation and keep your child comfortable. Comfortable everywhere you go: You may be on the move, but your child will be comfortable thanks to the soft fabrics and comfortable padding in the seat. It was a good job that it was quite self explanatory to install the seat as the instruction manual didn't provide too much explanation. It would be useful to have atleast a few key words to know that what you interpret from the images is correct. Pulling the tab out I don't think is made very clear for such an important feature! In a world where we are trying our best to be "Green" maybe they could provide a link to an online video rather than the traditional booklet.

Why Choose Me

I can't wait until our third arrives in May so I can see how well it works as a newborn seat as well Don’t worry if your car doesn’t allow for ISOFIX installation. Our belted car seats are just as easy to use. Simply follow the instructions in the included manual and you and your little one are ready to go!

Car seat can be used in rearward facing position until 4 years old or forward facing position from 15 months Can be used during 4 years, from birth (with newborn inlay accessory, sold separately) up to 4 years old I love the rotating feature on the seat. I do currently own a britax dualfix which also rotates so I am used to this feature. The button to rotate the carseat is in a much better position to rotate it. I also love the strap holders as you can pop the straps in and it keeps them out the way to get little one in and out. My son loves to climb in the seat himself now he is older and it makes it much easier to help him when the seat is facing the car door. I also think its great that you can rear face until four. The previous rotating maxi cosi seat only rear faced until age two or 13kg so I like that I can rear face for longer in this seat

What are the roads to take after a baby car seat?

Samantha: I would recommend this car seat to other mums. It is very easy to use and reasonably priced for a car seat suitable from birth to around age four. The rotating function is brilliant. I like that this seat can be used rear-facing up to 18kg. My son has plenty of space rear-facing too. I also like that this is an i-size seat so meets the most recent safety testing standards. I think the Maxi Cosi Mica is suitable for most people to use either from birth or when little one outgrows their infant carrier so I would feel confident recommending it especially as it is so easy to use. My son also looked super comfy in the Mica. The materials feel like high-quality fabrics and not the sort that would snag easy. Samantha: I would love it if the Maxi Cosi Mica could be suitable for over 18kg, however I know that this is very difficult when using Isofix due to the weight limits on the Isofix bars. I am very keen on extended rear-facing seats because I know that it is proven to be safer than forward-facing in a collision. Other than that, I love all the features and find it very easy to install and use. probably be more comfortable in a car seat that is portable as this means you don’t have to wake/ carry them in the wind/ rain to and from Never had a 360 seat before and wow it's. Game changer. My son is 2 now so getting him lifted into the carseat rearfacing is no easy task which in our other carseat normally involves in a small bang to the head getting him in/out. This is an extended rear-facing car seat that can be used from birth (with the Comfy Baby-Hugg Inlay, sold separately) until your child is four years old (or 105cm).
