We needed a bigger car seat for my daughter because she is exceeding height and weight on hers but only 3 years old. This seat has been perfect for her! And it’s very cute, comfy, and well made.
Cons
  • Wish the straps were a bit longer for more adjustability

This carseat is high quality, and looks great. Installation can be a little tricky, as it just has a line you have to make parallel to the ground (Wish it had a built in level). Installation is easy with the latch system, and everything is super easy to take off and wash if needed.

We’ve had this convertible car seat for 4 years and it’s still good! Love the size of it as our daughter has grown and that we can easily keep it clean by throwing the cover in the washing machine. Very satisfied with our purchase.

Easy to install and toddler likes it
June 27, 2021
This car seat was a very good deal and is very easy to install. It's not super heavy but feels very secure. Our daughter definitely likes it and naps in it easily. Our only issue with it is it quite wide so it would not be good for 3 across or side-by-side in a standard sized vehicle (we couldn't even do side-by-side with an infant carrier in our Subaru Outback).
Pros
  • - Comfy
  • - Includes a cup holder
  • - Easy to install
Cons
  • - Wide

Love this seat.
April 30, 2021
It's been a great car seat for us. We need something with a higher weight limit that still has a 5-point harness since my daughter has special needs. The only I would change is that the seat itself sits pretty high off the seat and as my daughter gets bigger, it has been getting hard to lift her into the seat. Just wish it was a little lower profile since she can't climb into the car herself.

Best car seat !
March 21, 2021
I love this car seat . It’s great that I can remove the cover completely wash it and clean the cover ! My toddler loves her car seat especially her cup holder to put her drinks or small toys . I have a slim, but tall. I love the fact that it expands for her tall self as she continues to grow. Will definitely be buying another Maxi-Cosi car seat for my one year old when she outgrows her infant car seat.
Pros
  • Easy to remove and wash

Great car seat, a bit wide
February 7, 2021
We have used this seat for nearly 3 years. It is very roomy and my son always seemed comfortable. He slept well in it, and it was easy to install. My only dislike is that it is very wide for the back seat of our small SUV.
Pros
  • Durability
  • Washability
  • Cup holders
  • Head support/protection
Cons
  • Wide

Super easy to adjust, easy in and out, cover comes off easily making cleaning a breeze, sturdy design without tons of moving parts, cup holder cleans well, comfortable for both my kids (I bought two), been using for 2 years and 3 years. I definitely would recommend Maxi Cosi (and do all the time)!

Great Second Seat!
September 25, 2020
The print on this is a bonus! We love this seat — it fits well (rear facing for now) in our small car and allows more room for the passenger than our infant seat did. The hooks for the straps are genius — they make getting our girl in and buckled very easy. She reaches back for them to “help” and we are never digging under or behind her get buckled in.
Pros
  • Size
  • Easy to buckle in
  • Easy to adjust

Love this seat
August 26, 2020
Our baby just graduated from an infant carrier to his first big boy car seat. From the first time he rode in it, he was so quiet because he kept staring out the window. He seems so comfortable with all the cushion this seat offers. We also love the cupholder. It is a fairly large seat, so definitely measure your car to make sure it will fit.
Pros
  • Cushion, seat fabric, cupholder
Cons
  • Won't fit every car

A cozy upgrade!
August 13, 2020
We got the Maxi Cosi Pria 85 2-1 for our 1 year olds Carseat upgrade! We have typically gone with another brand out of habit but I read such good things I wanted to give this Carseat a shot! Right away we were impressed by the comfort, durability, and safety of the seat. And so pleased with the ease of install. The harness holders and cupholder built in are such a great perk too.

Great for babies!!
August 12, 2020
We got this for my daughter when she was just over 15lbs and it works perfectly for her. I thought it would still seem to big for her seeing as she was just over the 14lb minimum weight but it is super cushioned and comfortable, sits her upright and she's happier in this than an infant seat! We don't have an SUV and have another Maxi-Cosi seat for our older son and this fits by it perfectly. Easy to clean which is a huge positive for a car seat!

A cozy, comfortable, and secure ride
August 7, 2020
We've had this car seat for about a month now and honestly love it. I especially love how soft the fabric is and how much padding is in this car seat, it makes me feel like my kiddo is not only safe but also comfortable on our drives. It was easy to install and doesn't take up a ton of space in my hatchback's backseat, which is really nice, especially since we're expecting our second in a couple of months. My husband's only wish is that it had a cup holder on both sides instead of one, but our toddler hasn't noticed! 😆

Lightweight & Helpful
August 5, 2020
We have had our eye on this car seat for quite a while and I'm so happy that we finally got one! My daughter gets car sick often and the fact that the fabric can easily be removed and is washable is a huge relief for us. It was such a struggle to clean our precious car seat and get the smell out every time. We love that the harness straps have some padding on them. It helps when my daughter falls asleep in her car seat, it provides her with some cushion so that her neck is not totally bent, uncomfortable and dangling around. The harness holders I was probably the most excited about. I love That we can hang her straps there while she gets comfortable and then it's so easy to clip her in!

I'm happy to say that we love this car seat so far! Originally we had purchased a Graco brand car seat for our first son and were not very impressed. We are however very impressed by this car seat! It's surprisingly lightweight which makes easy transfer to car when needed! The fabric is also so buttery soft & smooth! I would highly recommend this car seat!

Feels High Quality
July 26, 2020
I have yet to encounter a car seat that I would describe as easy or fun to use. That being said, this is the nicest one I have had. We like the print, and especially all the padding which makes it easy for my toddler to sleep in. Best of all, the entire thing can be stripped apart and put in the washing machine. It comes out looking brand new. The buckles aren't bad, but sometimes hard to click in given all the padding. We took off the shoulder pads and my kiddo ripped out the buckle pad.... so problem solved. WIth the Albee discount, I would say this car seat is well worth it.
Pros
  • Pretty
  • Well cushioned
  • Washable
  • Feels expensive
Cons
  • Not super easy to buckle

Beautiful, comfortable seat for your toddler!
July 25, 2020
I bought the limited edition sweater knit Maxi Cosi Mico 30 for my daughter the week before she was born - a month prematurely. I poured over the decision of what car seat for weeks, and Albee Baby made one of the best reviewed (and cutest!) models for safety and comfort actually affordable to me. Made in USA was a must! That car seat served us well for more than two years. It was strong, comfy, easy to clean and absolutely charming. Once my little one was getting close to 30lbs, however, I knew I needed to replace it but I was facing a lot of tough choices.

I went looking for Maxi Cosi at Albee Baby again, and fell for another affordable, limited edition seat. However, this seat is a 15lbs - 85lb seat that seems silly when there are so many well reviewed harness to booster seats like the Britax Clicktight line, or the Evenflo Maestro. I seriously was driving myself crazy reading about car seats, looking up reviews and recalls. Comparing this Maxi Cosi to the harness to booster was really comparing apples to oranges because they are so different. My parents surprised me with the Maestro to put me out of my misery. It was lightweight, easy to install, did not take much room....two cupholders! It was very well reviewed for safety and it would take her up to 100+lbs. I thought that was the end of it.

We put the Maestro in my dad's pick up for a while, during a visit and my daughter was enjoying her grown up seat but when she dozed off...she looked SO uncomfortable! I have some upcoming trips in the car with her - comfort while napping is a must and I returned to the drawing board. The Maestro would be great for errands and short daily runs but I needed something comfortable.

The Britax Clicktight was my final decision - until I came across a consumers report test they did on the Clicktight models and although I was looking to buy the updated version of these that probably addressed the weaknesses exposed in that test...I really needed to feel certain that my baby girl was safe. The manufacturer of the Maxi Cosi seats has not had to issue any serious recalls and there have been no negative reviews on the safety features of this seat (or any other maxi Cosi). I do lose a bit in that this seat stops at 85lbs, and my daughter is already at about 30lbs but the incredible comfort and easy to wash cover is preventing me from regretting that fact too much.

As my parents pointed out:. You expect a toddler to keep a seat in pristine condition from 30lbs to 100+ lbs? That's a long time.

First trip in the seat, my baby girl snuggled in and drifted off to sleep in a position I envied. The seat is stable, secure, handsome and oh so comfy!

Buy it - or one just like it if you are on the fence. Your child will ride like royalty.

Thank you Albee baby
Pros
  • Safe! Comfortable! Looks amazing. Made in USA. No recalls.
Best Uses
  • If you are looking for a car seat for long drives or your child falls asleep in the car ALL THE TIME - this is great to keep your toddler from getting the head droop!
Cons
  • This is an award weight range. 15lbs to 85lbs neither satisfies the infant stage nor does it serve as your last and final car seat. Still, if you can afford to have your child in 3 stages of car seat...this is super comfy.
  • One cup holder and not particularly roomy cup holder at that.

Beautiful design!
July 24, 2020
I love this car seat and so does my little! I purchased the triangle flow design and it is BEAUTIFUL. My daughter seems so comfortable in this seat also which is the most important. Another thing I love about this seat is that it will last us all the way until a boster seat which is years away. I gave this 4 stars because there are a few things I don't enjoy about this seat. It was so hard to install! I had to get someone to help me make sure it was secure and will not be taking it out of the car under any circumstances now that its in there good. Another thing I dislike about this design is the cupholder cannot be removed. Its definitely not a deal breaker, it would just be easier to clean that way. Overall we love this seat and will be using it for a long time.
Pros
  • Beautiful design, child comfort, long lasting.
Cons
  • Hard to install. Cupholder cannot be taken out to clean.

Like a baby's couch for the car
July 24, 2020
This seat is very easy to install and quite nice to look at as the pattern is very chic. The first two times my daughter sat in it she fell asleep almost instantly. I can only attribute it to how comfortable it is.

In terms of cleaning - it's really easy to clean out with the washable fabric, even taking a hand vacuum to clean as well.

Great seat, highly recommend and hope to use it for a very long time!

Great car seat for growing and messy kids!
July 23, 2020
We love this car seat as it fits children from 14 to 85 pounds which is a huge range. It's very easy to take the covers off and wash them (which, as parents, we all know how important this is), very safe with its Air Protect side impact technology - makes me comfortable knowing that my daughter is safe. She's very safe, comfortable and has no complaints which are the most important things.
