Maxi-Cosi Mico 12
Verified21 reviews
Lasted the full 13 months and beyond for a 50% percentile baby. Good quality seat. Bub was quite comfortable in it. Even when bub was born premature, it was secure enough to fit him safely. Super heavy car seat to transfer to pram though. Unfortunately I can’t give 5 stars because I always had problems with the seatbelt straps - when I tightened… Read more
them, they wouldn’t always tighten evenly on both sides (left shoulder strap would be tight and right shoulder strap would be so loose). This problem only fixed when I got bub out and adjusted them with both hands; which was quite annoying to do.
Go for it – Happy that I decided to purchase Mico 12. My son sleeps in 2 minutes once he's in the capsule. Show details · 1
Very happy – Very easy to use! Baby sleeps so well in it! Even better it integrates with our Uppababy Pram! Show reply
Easy to use, comfortable – Easy to attach and remove, I use the seat multiple times a day with no issue. I have a large baby and he’s still happy in it at 5 months and still have the insert I can remove to give more space as he grows. He’s always been comfortable in it. It’s a dream to use adaptors to fit my Baby Jogger pram. Slim fit, I have 3 car seats in my car. Definitely recommend. Show details · 1
Overall I'm super happy – WE absolutely love the Maxi Cosi and so glad we got the 12 month as my little one is already 6 months old and it has flown by. The fact that it connects to our pram (UppaBaby Vista 2) is so handy because I hate to disturb her when she has fallen asleep on a car journey. It would be 5 star however, the only drawback is the straps seem to catch on… Read more · 1
her little legs and Ive tried almost everything, short of loosening them too much, to adjust. Other than that would highly recommend. Very easy to use, to adjust and to put in and take out of the car.
10/10 highly recommended – This capsule is a life saver for getting bubs in and out of the car without waking him. The base is super easy to install and doesn’t require those red seat belt clips. The straps and buckle are easy to adjust. Bubs looks comfy and cozy when in his capsule. The sun protector on this capsule covers them so well and blocks out any sun from getting in his face or on his body. Would highly recommend this capsule. Show details · 1
Good with some annoying cons – We purchased the Mico 12 as we wanted to have a capsule child seat that we could use from our baby being born until the 12 month mark. It was also a brand I trusted due to it's history as being the most reliable for quality. Here are some of the pros: - Comes with newborn inserts for comfort, peace of mind, safety. - The head piece is… Read more
adjustable and keeps your baby nice and snug while in the car. - The sun visor effectively keeps your baby covered against UV rays and helps when they need darkness to sleep. - Can be put onto a range of prams with the Maxi Cosi converters. - Materials feel premium - The straps are easy to lengthen and seatbelt is easy to click into place.
Some of the cons: - The rubber along the base edging often comes out making it difficult to latch or unlatch from the base. - The Mico 12 is quite heavy to carry with your baby in, and the handle is impossible to unlock and push back with one hand. This makes it hard to get baby in and out without hauling the entire seat out or lifting and placing the seat into it's base - especially if you're following Australian safety regulations which states the safest place to place your car seat is in the middle of the backseat. - When we attach it to our Uppababy using Maxi Cosi adapters it wobbles a lot and doesn't feel secure when we push it. - You can't reposition your baby into a more horizontal angle to help them sleep. - It's a little on the pricey side.
Great capsule – Great capsule! My 3kg newborn fits nice and snug, doesn’t slip and slide around and seems very comfortable in there. I had heard that lots of babies find capsules uncomfortable and scream until they are moved into a 0-4 years car seat, so I was worried about spending the money on this if she wasn’t going to like it. Happy to report she loves it.… Read more · 1
The convenience of being able to get her out quickly and clip her into our pram when she’s sleeping is worth every penny!
Great design – Compact and sleek design, baby loves it always falls asleep in it! Easy to get in and out of the car and onto the pram Show details · 1
The best baby capsule! – We absolutely love our Maxi-Cosi Mico 12 capsule! It is so comfortable for bub and she just loves sitting in it! It’s so easy and handy to use, it’s simple to get out of the car and quick to attach to our pram! She much prefers staying in her capsule connected to her pram rather than the pram seat! The quality feels amazing compared to other seats… Read more · 1
and it was pretty easy and quick to install! We recently did a 12.5 hour road trip with our baby using this capsule and she seemed happy and comfortable in it for the whole trip (making sure we took plenty of breaks and allowed for lots of stretching!) Would defineitly recommend this capsule to any parents and we’ll be using it again for our next baby! The only thing I would note is that it is quite a heavy/solid capsule to carry.
Easy to install/remove in car – Very easy to install into car, and remove capsule to and from base. 4 stars because it is a bit clunky to install on our UppaBaby V2 pram and is a bit heavy (expected for a capsule up to 12 months though) Show details · 1
Great capsule – This is a great capsule and is so useful that I can click it on and off our pram! Show details · 1
Pretty good, but could be better – Very safe and enclosing, particularly for a premmie baby (which mine was). My main complaint is about the magnetic shoulder strap buckle holder, the straps have to be at their longest to reach the magnets which means they are useless most of the time (a problem I am experiencing with the Pria too). this means that the straps end up under the… Read more · 1
baby when you put it in the capsule and it is awkward to get them into position. My baby also feels the heat and got hot in the capsule even with the car airconditioner on very cold.

Good enough, but would pick a different one now – Overall pretty good, however our 6-month old barely fitting in it already. I wish I had purchased one that’s up to 4 years. One design flaw on this one is that when the head-rest is at maximum position, the carrying handle and cover can’t be moved over, they are stuck behind the head rest. Other than that it was easy to use and seemed to be secure. Show details · 1
Great value! – First time buying a capsule, second time mum. Chose this one as my first was quite tall and didn’t want bubs to outgrow capsule within a few months like other friends babies had. I was pleasantly surprised with size of capsule (now that bubs is hear), plenty of room for bub to grow! Easy to install, easy to remove from car, not particularly heavy… Read more · 1
to carry! Personally, I find the quality of maxi cosi’s fabric and accessories superior, especially with the price! Great value for money!
Maci Cosi Mico 12 capsule review – My little one seems to be very comfortable in het seat. She was low birth weight and the seat adjustments really helped to have a snug fit. It does take a bit of time to get used to adjust everything and find all the little levers. We remove the seat quite often and pop it onto our pram, which really helps when out and about. Overall we love our capsule and the fact that it fits well on our pram. Show details
Suitable for busy Mums – Excellent capsule that is easy to put in and take out of the car. Great that it can be put on the uppababy vista for quick shop visits Show details · 1
Great product! – Very easy to use, comfortable for our baby, fits on our pram and has great instructions and support! The canopy is fantastic too. Show details · 1
So much easier – Myself and my husband were deciding between a normal car seat and a capsule as we didn't want to spend a lot of money on a capsule if our baby would only be in it for a few months before needing an upgrade. Then we found the Mico 12 which is up to 12 months! Absolutely life saver and makes everything so much easier, no needing to awkwardly move… Read more · 1
the baby out of their seat, they just can stay in there and you just move the whole seat easily as it easily clicks into most prams but also can be brought inside, especially if the baby is asleep and you don't want to sit in your car waiting for them to wake up. It's super easy to get in and out of the car and just makes life so much easier, 100% would recommend.
LOVE our Maxi-Cosi Mico 12 – We absolutely love our Maxi-Cosi Mico 12 baby capsule. Our baby is now 6 months old and has always been so comfortable in this car seat. Highly recommend. Show details · 1
