Very comfortable and stylish carseat, with a few c
Reviewer: Juanita , Sunnyvale, CA

We have been using this car seat for a month, and I would give this car seat a 4.5 stars if I could. Some aspects of it are amazing, but there are a few things that are just passable.
First the pros: My son is very comfortable in the seat! He used to wake up right away when he was still in the Graco Safeseat. If he falls asleep in this carseat, he stays asleep even when I take him out of it. I love the material. I detest the hard to clean velour on the Britax seats and other seats. I also love the color designs. I can't understand why everything is black, grey or brown for the Britax seats! Boys can go in other color too! I also think it is quite sturdy, and my son is very well strapped in and safe. We haven't used the recline feature, since our son is still rear facing, but it is very nice when I tested it out and easy to use.
The cons: This seat is a little difficult to install. I had to pay close attention to the instruction manual to use the locking clip correctly. Make sure you do so and it will be a quick install. Otherwise, you'll be struggling to get the straps in the clip. Also, the diagrams are a little confusing, making it unclear where the latch straps and tether straps go for storage. Now that I know how to do it, it takes 5 minutes to install the seat. We have already traveled with the seat, and it held up well. There are a few pieces of plastic that might feel a little sharp, and I was a bit disappointed with that, but there are in places that are flat to the seat when installed, so I don't think a child will touch those areas.
Overall, we're really happy with the seat and plan to get another for our second car. I know some people are really gaga over the 65lb weight limit on the Marathon and other Britax seats, but my son is on the light side and if he stays on his growth curve, he won't reach 45 pounds until he is 7 or 8. By then, I'm not sure he'll want to stay in such a bulky "little boy" seat anymore.

Excellent delivery: we received the seat in very good condition quite fast. The only thing is the manual which is not very clear. Would be helpful to update this.

Needs a better method for stowing away the unused straps. Like the latch strap. Breast clip needs to have a easier method to release the clip. Hard for grandparents with arthritis.

penguin car seat

This car seat is wonderful. I looked at reviews and car seats for months before finally choosing this one and it has not been disappointing. My baby is on the small side 18 1/2 pounds at 1 year, and she looks very comfortable in it. It is very easy to buckle her in and the straps don't seem to get tangled and I like that she can stay rear facing up to 35 pounds.
All in all it seems wonderful and has a little bit better price than some of the other seats out there.

Awesome car seat
Reviewer: Rachel B. , Greenville, S.C

I love the Maxi-Cosi car seat! It's very secure and easy to get my 13 month old daughter in and out of the car seat. The only thing that was complicated was installing it into our van. And it does show stains very quickly but it is machine washable. But my daughter falls asleep in it very well and I love the recline feature. Overall great buy for your money.

I recently purchased this car seat for my son. I love it. The recline is my favorite feature. It is super easy to use. When my son falls asleep I can just reach back with one hand and recline him so he rests comfortably. He seems to like it.

Great carseat
Reviewer: Anonymous , Illinois

I had to put my daughter in it when she outgrew her infant carseat at 7 months. Directions allows you to use it without any stress. Can be removed easily and be attached again just as easy. Not super bulky. Easy access to place her in it and take her out. Great design. My daughter is very comfortable in it. Most importantly as well, it's made in the USA!
