Maxi Cosi Mico Review

I decided upon the Mico based entirely on the fact that I wanted ti use it together with Foray stroller. I am absolutely delighted that this carseat really worked out well for us.
The first great thing about it is the EPP foam, which gives it a much nicer look (most other models have the big, squishy pad-like foam making them look like old discarded sofas) and its upholstery is soft and cottony, not squishy and velvety like most carseats. The fabric marks easily but it is pretty easy to take the cover off and wash.
The seat comes with a base that has trigger release (like regular seatbelts, just push the red button to release) LATCH hooks - they make installation so easy that we really could have gone with only one base for our two cars and had no trouble at all. Initial installation involved two steps: making sure the LATCH belt was the right length, and attaching it to the anchors. Literally, it took under five minutes to install.
The base can be tricky to release. 
The only (minor) complaint I had was that the newborn head support was set up kinda weird: it seemed like the holes on it didn't line up to where they should have been, causing my son's head to be pushed forward (kinda slumped), thereby defeating the purpose of said support. So I just didn't use it, which worked well too, because the padding is snug enough around the baby's head that it really wasn't necessary to have it in the first place.
Overall, I absolutely loved this car seat and would have no reservations about recommending it to anyone. It comes in some fun colors, and it's unique-looking enough that people will never stop asking you about it!
