I am extremely happy with the quality, comfort, and ease of use that this car seat offers. When our daughter was young, we started with a "carrier" style car seat - the kind where a locking base remains in the car, and the seat containing the baby lifts out. We transitioned to this car seat right around 1 year old, and I think I would follow that same schedule if I were to do it again.The previous car seat we had was more of a "lay down" style, which I felt worked very well for a newborn / young baby. This car seat seems to be more of a "sit up" style (even with the adjustable angle) - and while she loves it at 1 year old, I'm not sure it would have been a great fit when she was younger.That said, she does absolutely love it. She's able to sit up, see more, and interact with her toys more naturally. It's also easier to maneuver her into the car seat, as the angles are less awkward. The nice thing is that this seat should cover us for many years to come - as it evolves with the various attachments and configurations to match the appropriate age/weight combination.An important point to note, this car seat is very large - probably a necessity to be able to cover the range of ages that it does. But, it's an important consideration because it limits functionality within the car. In our car (4 door sedan), the front passenger seat ends up at such an angle (due to this car seat behind it) that it's uncomfortable to sit in / frankly not a usable seat. So that's definitely a consideration if you regularly need to use every seat in your car.A (perceived) benefit of the car seat is that with its large size (tons of padding), it does feel very robust and protective - I'm very comfortable having my daughter in this car seat. There are a few areas where it seems like they might have saved on cost, however. A few elements don't seem quite as refined as our other car seat - the belt tightness adjuster, the manner in which the car seat installs, the way the car seat adjusts for leveling purposes, the unfinished feel of the plastic base, etc. It all feels a bit rough, and doesn't have the same quality feel as the rest of the car seat - it feels like they cut some corners on the "nice to have" details, to perhaps shave a few dollars off the production cost. Fortunately once the (somewhat challenging) installation is complete, you don't have to deal with those elements too much - aside from the belt adjuster, which is more frequently used.All in, this is a great upgrade - you just have to make sure it's the right fit for your vehicle, and decide if it's the right fit for your baby relative to their age/weight & the manufacturer's instructions.

This is our first Maxi Cosi product but I got this because I have a good impression of this brand. I've heard mostly great things about this brand, their car seats and carriers, so I was not at all hesitant to give this a try. While my household uses another high end brand car seat, I needed an extra one for "grandma's car". It was easy to install, or maybe "easy" isn't the right word but I'd say if you've installed a car seat before it is quite similar.What I love about this car seat is the cup holders. The one we have has cupholders are the sides of the carseat but they are placed "outside" the car seat to where it is a bit hard for my toddler to grab his water. This one is much closer to his reach. The seats/cushion/padding are all relatively soft and nice to the touch, feels comfortable on the skin. Another important thing to note is the cover is washable, which we all know how essential that is when it comes to anything baby/toddler related. Another thing I like about this car seat is even though it is Minnie themed, it is quite subtle and not "in your face" Disney themed.We also brought this car seat with us on vacation and checked in the car seat. We didn't bring it with us on the plane and I'm not sure if the dimensions would have been ok for the plane seat, but we were able to check it in with our luggages with no issues. I recommend investing in a car seat bag, don't cheap out and get a cheap one with flimsy material. Remember, the bag is protecting your car seat, so get a thicker one. There were no issues and the car seat arrived in perfect condition with no damages. It also fit our rental car perfectly fine and we didn't have to use someone else's (rental) gross car seat. If baby is comfortable, the trip will tend to go much smoother.All in all I think this is an excellent baby car seat, affordably priced, good design, comfortable, and most important it feels durable, sturdy, and safe. After trying and liking this car seat, I am open to other Maxi Cosi products and will look into their strollers for our potential next baby.
