Maxi-Cosi Mico AP

Absolute crap – Baby is always hot and cramped in the seat and fixing the harnesses is a nightmare. Only used it twice and I'm already looking for another brand. Waste of money. Show details

Very useful but couple of things would make it better – I bought this capsule just after baby was born because something unexpected came up that would require us to take baby out a lot. I had heard from many people it’s a waste of money because you can only use it for 6 months. However I have found it to be very useful esp because baby was born in winter so we didn’t have to worry about transferring… Read more

baby in and out of the car and getting cold. Also, she loves how snug it is and will easily dose off either in the car or when it’s on the pram. When we are at the shopping centre we just keep her in the capsule and she’ll sleep the whole time, and she sometimes doesn’t even wake when we put her back in the car and take her back into the house. Compared to a bassinet, I think it’s much more comfortable and snug. the only gripe I have is it’s hard to take off the pram, even my husband who is much stronger than me struggles to do it by himself as you kinda need a third hand to do it well. Also, there is a strap with clip that you use to secure the capsule to the car seat that is located at the top of the capsule. It’s in an awkward place and if you don’t store it properly can hit the baby in the face. It’s also designed funny making it hard to clip on and off. Other than that I like it and don’t regret buying it even though my baby will prob grow out of it by 4 months.

Guaranteed sleep for my baby – We hired this capsule in January and will be returning it in a couple of weeks and purchasing a convertible car seat. Our son loves this seat and combined with the movement of the car, would fall asleep in the first 5 minutes without fail. The main thing I don't like about this capsule is the weight. I'm a petite person and found this heavy. As my… Read more

son has grown it's made getting the capsule in and out of the car a challenge. In the last couple of months I've resorted to leaving it in the car and carrying my baby to and from it, having to wake him up in the process, but saving my back. When he was much smaller we did take it out of the car and attach to his pram. It does take a little bit of practice getting it in and out of the car but once you know the angle, it's easy. The sun shade is very flimsy and the safety harness gets in they way of it. The seat padding is a catch 22 as my baby was very snug in it, but on a hot day it's a sweat box. I haven't got any experience with other baby capsules and assume I'd probably find most of them heavy and awkward to carry. Hiring this capsule for 7 months cost us a fraction of the retail price ($235). Thankfully we didn't have any car accidents so can't say how well this capsule would protect a child from serious injury.

Love maxi cosi! – This is my second maxi cosi capsule now! And I just love this brand. I love the fact it connects to any pram! And so easy to do so! Have always used maxi cosi in capsules and seats and I’ll never go back! Show details ·  1

Great Capsule! – We have found the Maxi-Cosi Mico AP capsule to be easy to use and comfortable for our baby. It was easy to click in and out of the car, easy to attach to our Redsbaby Metro2 pram (with the adapters) and easy to keep clean. Used for approximately 5 months with baby number 1 and will be using again for baby number 2 Show details ·  1

Annoying canopy – Bought this capsule a month ago as I’m expecting baby number 3 any day now. But the canopy on this thing is driving me a little mad. It won’t stay nice and tight when I pull it the whole way. It just looks cheap and floppy. I’m quite disappointed tbh. Show details

So good, easily fits in and out of the pram with one click – This was a great capsule. Our baby slept really well in it, and you could easily click it out of the car, without waking the baby, and place it in the bugaboo pram. Show details ·  1

Love it – This is a very affordable and comfortable baby sit. Its easy adjusted and cleaned easily. I have bought this product in May and still in great condition and dont have any issue with it. Show details ·  1

Most comfortable seat for the little ones to take a nap – Far better than our young mans previous seat. Much better angles for leaning back for a nap. Our little man loves it. When he is so quiet sleeping, us too. Show details ·  1

Great compact seat – Unfortunately I don’t think my child is very comfortable, no doubt due to the fabric used. He gets really sweaty and long trips are a nightmare. They should make the cover fabric more breathable if it’s at all possible Show details ·  1

Worst purchase ever – I just bought this capsule today from Baby Bunting. Installation manual says you need to use a locking clip to secure the capsule but it doesnt come with the box. I tried installing the capsule without the clip and it looks very insecure. So I ringed Baby Bunting and learned that it is optional and it "adds" to security of the capsule and costs… Read more

$5.99.

So picture this, you buy a $379 capsule and come home and find out that you need to drive back to get this $6 worth accessory.

I will definitely go back but just to return it.

Fantastic Car Seat – This Maxi-Cosy car seat was a complimentary addition to the pram bundle that I purchased from Baby Bunting. It did a fantastic job for the first 6months. It was safe and secure for my little one and gave me peace of mind in those early months. It is on the more expensive side, especially as it is only a capsule for the first 6months, but it is a… Read more

very high quality baby capsule. It was very convenient that I could use it as a baby carrier and use the adaptors to put it on the pram as well, to prevent disturbing the little one.

Disappointed with this product – We purchased the capsule as the store we purchased it from said its a very popular capsule and well made. We have had nothing but trouble The hood of the capsule is flimsy and keeps falling down. The strap that is connected at the head of the capsule is faulty the screw always comes loose and belt falls out. Very unsafe. The straps… Read more

always twist which is very annoying when trying to get a baby into the seat.

Very disappointed with this capsule as it is one of the more expensive ones.

Nice and light – Nice and light weight - great for going from the car to the pram without disturbing baby. Definitely worthwhile to get the clips to convert to the pram. Not something that I would leave the baby sleeping in at home for long though. Good to store for future babies to get moneys worth.

Great for those first few months – I had this for bubs and was so handy to be able to transfer bubs in/out of car and onto pram easily. Saves disturbing the baby. However bubs out grew by 4 months and we had to get a new seat which is more expense so early. We have for bubs 2 at least. Bubs was ready to move into another seat too as they are only small.

So convenient – The maxi cosy AP was a lifesaver. It was so handy to get around and not have to get the baby in and out constantly. Super easy if your just running in somewhere. Fits on the pram perfectly! The only negative is the shade cover needs to come down a bit lower.

Can’t live without – I rented a Maxi Cosi AP with my daughter and used it all the time. It clicks into my pram so it’s so easy to get baby in and out of the car and transfer them while sleeping. When we were expecting our second it was one of the first items we went out to buy.

Very good - also very good brackets that fit in with any pram – Very good capsule. My baby slept like a log in it. Also very good to get brackets for your pram and you just snap the pram in and off you go. Very good. Would recommend to any new parents. Makes the trasporation of baby from car to pram seemless!!!!! Just fantastic

Good for big babies – I use this capsule daily in the car and clip it onto my baby jogger pram. Very easy to use. Fits big babies (my 97th%ile boys fit in it until 6 months). Great being able to just park a sleeping baby under a table or plug straight from car to pram or vice versa. Easy to install.

Fantastic – Great capsule. Used it from birth for our daughter. One lever at the back for easy release of capsule from base. Very sturdy carry handle. Great canopy for shade. Easy to install when we would swap the capsule between our 2 cars (we used isofix which was so so easy). Was nice and snug for our daughter which I found reassuring. I read some reviews… Read more

saying that it was too tight for their children. Each to their own but I prefer my child to be safe and snug - it’s not called a child restraint for nothing. my daughter was a bigger bubba and I still thought it was great!! we used the Redsbaby pram and again the adapters were very simple to use.

Overall great car capsule.

Best decision to buy when expecting a baby – Having this Capsule made my life an absolute breeze with a newborn, easy to install the base and very simple to carry capsule to and from the car to house or into the pram. My pram was comparable once I got adapters, which aren’t expensive, cosy for bub and very secure for them.

Great capsule – We hired the Maxi Cosi Mico AP when we had our son. It’s a great capsule. It’s really easy to get in and out of the car, it’s light to carry (even when Bub is in it), it’s compatible with our Redsbaby pram and our car (fitted with isofix). It was easy to install utilising the isofix plug in our car. Our little one sleeps in it quite regularly so… Read more

it must be comfortable for him! The only thing I don’t like about it is it’s quite large when it’s on the back seat so the front passenger ends up sitting on top of the airbag with not a lot of leg space. Overall, still a very good capsule.

Perfect for newborn – I bought this capsule for my newborn as it is compatible with my bugaboo pram and it has been the best thing I bought. It makes transition from the car to the pram so easy and on a hot day being able to bring the capsule inside and Poo bub in before going outside has been super handy

Awesome lightweight capsule – This was the first carrier we had for our bubs. Easy to install. A bit hard to take out if you have a small car. Awesome thing is the bubs fits nice and snug in there and we don't have to wake him getting in and out of the car. Even though the capsule being the lightest on the market once the baby passes 3 months it becomes quite heavy to carry.… Read more

The pull over cover fabric comes off easily at the end but not a biggy. We bought adapters for this capsule to put it on top of our city mini pram.

Isofix is poor – Purchased the isofix version specifically because it generally means a much more secure fit. However the isofix implementation on this is awful. It's poorly designed and isn't compatible with our Volkswagen despite the car being isofix standard compliant. With isofix attached and tightened to maximum, the base is dangerously loose and not secure… Read more

at all. Further when I contacted support they were highly unhelpful, refusing a refund and telling me I should have checked first. The isofix connectors on the base are a poor hack and the manufacturer has not put effort into designing the base for isofix. Rather it is a poor workaround using the seatbelt system.

We are now forced to consider our options. A poorly fitting dangerous seat, or go find a different brand.

Buyer beware.

Fantastic – I bought the maxi cost AP limited edition for my second bub and it has been one of my best purchases. I have to do school pick up and drop off with my eldest and I simply click the capsule into my pram and off I go. The best thing is I DONT NEED TO WAKE THE BABY. Which in my opinion is priceless! The limited edition is especially great as it comes… Read more

with the gold fold down sun protector and magnets to hold the straps out (which are the best!). The capsule is really easy to get in and out of the car and relatively easy to carry if needed. Anyone who doesn’t get a capsule I think are NUTS.
