16 of 16 people found the following review helpful.UPDATE: My daughter threw up in her car seat this morning. So, for the first time I had to take the cover off and clean it. It was a NIGHTMARE. Not only was it a pain to get the cover off (and I'm sure it will be even harder to get it back on because of all the pieces I had to disassemble), but the cover has to be hand washed and line dried. It is so big and cushy that is extremely hard to clean. My hands are aching, and I'm not even sure I did a great job. I'm also pretty sure it will take a few days to dry. We won't even be able to use the car seat for a day or two until the cover dries all the way. This is the only reason I gave it three stars. Below is my previous 5 star rating:After MUCH deliberation (and 10+hrs of research), I decided to go with this car seat over a Britax for my 12 month old. The main selling point for me was the comfort. Overall, I am pleased with my decision. Here's why:Pro's:SUPER comfortable for my baby. I wish I had one of these to ride in! It is so cushy, and she sleeps great in it.Even in the rear-facing position it takes up LESS room front to back than our Graco snug-ride infant car seat did. I was amazed, because it looks so bulky, but we were actually able to push the front passenger seat back a little! With a small car, this is a huge plus.It has awesome safety ratings, is tested rigorously, is very sturdy, and I feel reassured that she is very safe in her seat.Because of the way it is designed, she can ride rear facing for a long time, which is SO much safer for little ones. She is very tall, but I will still keep her rear facing until she's 2.The cup holder! Although it is a minor detail, it makes a HUGE difference. On a Britax you have to buy the cup holder separately, and it has very mixed reviews.Other features, such as a storage pouch in the seat for the instruction manual, and a storage place for every belt and anchor when it is not in use, are big bonuses. This seat was very well thought out and effectively designed.Con's:Since it is a fairly new product, the instruction manual has lots of typos and errors. It is a pretty user friendly, easy to follow manual, but it has some big mistakes in it and confusing parts that actually caused us MAJOR headache. The seat sat in our living room for 3 days because we couldn't figure out how to get the LATCH belt out of the forward facing position and into the rear facing position. After my husband and I both spending hours trying to figure it out, spending over an hour on the phone with a representative who had NO idea what she was talking about (and was actually giving me incorrect instructions), writing a frustrated email, and sending them pictures of the problem, we finally got it resolved. It ended up being a simple fix, and in the end we had a very kind, helpful costumer service rep go above and beyond to make sure we had it fixed. So, despite the frustrations, I ended up being very happy with the company and their service.It is a little tricky to install. There were a few minutes when I thought I would have to return the seat because I couldn't get it tight enough. However, after making sure it was at the proper recline position, and tightening the LATCH belt as much as I could, I am happy with the results.It does have a little bit of play side to side. The guidelines I have read said not to use a seat if it has more than 1 inch of play side to side or front to back. This probably has about an inch, or maybe a little bit less. This is probably different from car to car. I wish it were a little bit tighter, but I still feel like it is safe.Biggest CON: It is really bulky side to side, and quite tall. This can be a good thing because my daughter sits so high she can see out the window, but it makes it difficult to get her in the car, into the seat, and buckled up. There is hardly any room between the sides of the seat, the door, and the ceiling. We have to kind of twist her and squeeze her in, and half the time my husband bonks her head on the door because it is so tight. It is also hard to get used to buckling quickly when you can't fit both of your arms in very well. At first it was very difficult and frustrating, but once you get used to it it's not too bad. It really did take us about a month to get used to putting her in the seat and buckled up, but now that we've had practice we are much faster at it.Finally, we have had the straps twist on us a few times. They are so slick that they do twist easily, but luckily they are also very easy to untwist. So, it's not a deal breaker for us.Overall, the pro's outweigh the con's in our book, and we have ended up being very happy with the seat! Good luck in your search, hope this helps!

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.I have never written a review;however, felt compelled to do so.After my daughter (6 months) became too heavy to lug around in her infant carrier I decided to switch her to a convertible carseat. As always, I thoroughly researched these types of carseats and made a trip to babies r us. My first priority was safety. Priority number two was comfort. After researching the options I decided on this seat vs. one by Britax. My infant carrier and stroller products are by this brand and I loved the safety ratings and simple chic look. I then visited babies r us and went down the car seat isle only to find all of the carseats were rather hard (little-no cushion). I did not find this brand (maxi cosi) in babies r us but had read reviews that it was the cushiest ( if that's a word :)) I decided to gamble and went ahead and ordered this one. The online reviews I had read were mostly positive with the cons consistently being that this carseat was heavy... But shouldn't that be a good thing?? Well my carseat has arrived... Ive only done a test run but thus far,I'm very pleased with it. The fabric is neoprene which feels so good and it is VERY cushiony (vs. other brands). The fabric turns a datker shade when water gets on it.This cerise color is what i'd call fushia.The buckles/harness is easy to use. My daughter loved sitting in it during our "test run". I feel that she is safe with the extra air protection around her head. I live that the seat tilts back. She is used to being in this position in the infant carrier.
