Easy-to-wash
Maxi Cosi is an established brand in car seats, having helped parents transport over 50 million babies home from the hospital. They're now launching the Mica which is their first 360-degree spin car seat that can be used from birth to 4 years. It's an enormous improvement over their previous models, and is designed to be more durable and easier to clean. The seat is padded with soft fabrics all around and comes with a magnetic buckle holder that keeps the harness straps away from view when putting or removing your baby. All the fabric parts of the seat, including the body and head pillows as well as harness covers, are machine washable.
The base utilizes a patent-pending technology called SlideTech to rotate and move closer to you when you carry your baby in and out of the car. This feature takes the stress and strain off your back and shoulders, making it ideal for parents who are new or who have joint or spinal issues. Parents are delighted that the 360-degree rotation of the seat allows them to easily switch from rear-facing to front-facing in seconds without the need to remove the harness or reset it.
Another advantage is that it's compatible with most stroller chassis, making it easy to switch between a car and a stroller for longer walks. It's still a good idea to limit the amount of time your baby spends in the car seat during the first six to eight weeks of their life to 30 minutes. A lot of sitting can cause low airways and spinal growth.
