Maxi Cosi Capsules Not Recommended
The Maxi Cosi Citi is not recommended due to the following reason 1/ it scored a 1 star from the CREP report, 2/ it is only suited for cars which have a flat seat 3/ it does not have an adjustable footer for car with deeper seats, 4/ it only has a 2 position harness adjustment meaning it can only be used for a shorter time.
The Maxi Cosi Titan capsule is no longer recommended due to the base design. The lever to release the capsule from the base is just above the foot release lever causing many families to accidentally uninstall the base. Second; after 4 years of solid use the springs in the base weaken and you may not fully lock the capsule to the base. This is a dangerous situation and should be avoided.
The Maxi Cosi 12LX capsule is designed for newborn to 12 months of age, with provision for low birth weight babies. For most mother, they find it difficult to carry haby in a capsule past 6 months with the average mother using a capsule for only 5 to 5.5 months. As such families are better off with a capsule only going to 6 months.
The Maxi Cosi Mico 6 is a cut down version of the Maxi Cosi Mico Plus where the Mico 6 does not have an extended canopy. The extended canopy is of enormous benefit in Summer and sunny days when you go out walking.
Hence NONE of these seats are included in our fleet of capsules
