Maxi-Cosi Mico Infant Carseat

It took 12 long days to be shipped from Albeebaby.com, but well worth the wait!

Finally, my much anticipated carseat has arrived and I couldn't be more excited! I really think this arrival has pushed the excitement level up a notch.

To begin, the shipping weight was a mere 10 lbs! According to some websites, the carrier itself weighs about 8 lbs, but I'm not buying that and will have to get to a scale to prove my point at a later date. The base itself seems heavier than the actual carseat, so I will have to update on that.
I would like to point out that my mico does not have the much-dreaded puzzle buckle, like the Quinny Buzz and Zapp have. Whether this is something new to the carseat or not, I am not sure. I was unsure when I ordered it because I could not find a decent photo showing the buckle, but to my surprise the buckle is actually very similar to Graco or Evenflo's buckle systems (see photos).


I am also very happy with the pattern. My initial interest was the all black version, but this style, magic rose, was on sale for a low $99.99 (compared to $169.99), so I jumped right on it. I am very pleased with my choice, as it really is beautiful, and could even be considered gender neutral.

I have yet to actually use this magnificent looking thing, so for now it sits in my living room to stare at impatiently, but as soon as the little man arrives I will be sure to update!
