Safety Ratings
There are a variety of infant car seats available on the market, and they vary from good to not so great. It is important to do some research prior to purchasing an infant car seat so that you know what you are looking for and which ones are the highest rated.

Maxi cosi is a German company that has been providing safety for children since 1984, has now brought their experience to the US. They offer a line of rear-facing carseats. The Mico Max Plus is their most recent offering and looks great.
One thing that makes this seat stand out is the fact that it can be used rear facing for a longer time than other seats. This is crucial because research shows that babies are safer when rear facing for as long as they are able to. The Mico Max Plus can remain rear-facing for as long as two years!
Another thing that makes this seat distinct is it comes with a recline feature. Many infant car seats don't have this feature and it could be helpful in helping your baby to sleep. The seat is also well padded, and the headrest/SIP too.
The Mico Max Plus has one negative: it is not as simple to install as other infant car seats. It's a bit more difficult to position the seat at the right angle, and it takes to tighten the harness. It's a bit of learning curve to utilize the LATCH anchors and tether.
Overall though, the safety ratings for this car seat are very high. It was among the top performers during our crash test, and the dummy's head and chest were able to withstand very low forces of g.
The one thing to be aware of is that this model won't last as long as some other models. According to CDC growth charts, your child will begin to outgrow it at around age 3. It's difficult to make them reach five in this car seat. It has a weight limit of 40lbs, and one height adjustment. In the end you'll likely need to upgrade to a booster seat that has no back or a larger seat.

These included how straightforward it is to install the seat and its base, alter harness positions, place an infant in the seat, secure the harness, and then remove the child from the seat.

The seat also has an adjustable sun canopy that can be adjusted to any position and a the visor that flips out to provide plenty of protection for your child, while the ergonomic handle is designed to curve around your hips, putting less stress on your back.
We also loved the seat pad of Mico made of self-wicking fabric, which deodorizes and wicks away liquids from baby. It is easily removable and machine washable, which makes it quick and easy to clean. Additionally, the infant insert offers extra head and neck support for smaller babies. However, in a recent crash test performed by Consumer Reports, two of the LATCH straps of the Mico 30 tore through the base's belt path, which could lower its safety margins in an intense frontal crash. This was a rare occurrence however it is important to be aware of the possibility that this could happen when installing car seats.
Comfort
As the new father or mother, your baby's comfort is of the utmost importance. The best way to ensure they are at ease and content in the car is by using a Maxi-Cosi infant car seat that offers a comfortable recline and plenty of head support. This is particularly important when the car seat is positioned rearwards as infants are more prone to heat and pressure in their heads.

Their range includes ISOFIX base and seatbelts, which is recommended for babies in order to minimise the risk that incorrect installation can occur. The company also offers a variety of travel systems to make life easier for you and your baby, including the award winning Mica and its most recent version called the Mico Max Plus.
The new Mica is the first car seat that offers 360-degree rotation which is a great help when transporting newborns or children in the early stages. This feature can be helpful for parents with neck or back issues.

It's even made from eco-fabrics that are resistant to fire and machine washable, so it's a great choice for green-minded moms.
Another option for newborns is the brand new Magellan that comes with side impact protection for the torso to protect babies from injuries in the event of a side collision. It also comes with a cushioned headrest and safety harness pads, which will keep children safe and comfortable, particularly in the case of an accident.
