Available in 3 stylish colours, the Mico XP Max is a rear-facing infant car seat, catering to infants weighing between 4 to 30 pounds and measuring up to 32 inches in height. This orientation is proven to be the safest for your baby!

Installing a car seat can be a hassle, but not with the Mico XP Max. Its MaxiLock secure locking system features self-retracting one-click UAS connectors, simplifying things for a quick and stress-free setup! You can also use the red-to-green tightness indicator, providing you with visual confirmation of accurate installation of the base.  

For those times when you need to secure the car seat with a seat belt, the integrated belt lockoff ensures easy and secure installation, providing peace of mind during your travels. Additionally, if you need to take an Uber or travel without the base, you can do that too! The Mico XP Max can be securely installed without the base, making it perfect for trips. 

Safety Specs 

Protecting your child's head and sides during a collision is of utmost importance. The Mico XP Max is equipped with Air Protect technology, ensuring superior side impact protection that extends down the sides of the car seat, providing maximum safety at all times. 

Maxi-Cosi also limits back-and-forth movement during sudden stops or accidents with the inclusion of an anti-rotation stability leg. This feature further maximizes head and neck protection during vehicle operation. 

Unparalleled Comfort 

It takes time to get anywhere these days, so it’s important that your child’s car seat is comfortable for those long rides. In the Mico XP Max, you’ll find:  

• Thermo-Regulated Pillows: Reversible head and body pillows ensure a proper fit for infants as small as 4 pounds. For temperature regulation, one side has breathable mesh fabric for cooling in the summer and a soft, warm knit on the flip side during winter. 

• MaxShade Canopy: Protection from the elements is essential. The MaxShade canopy provides extended coverage and acts as a privacy barrier, ensuring your baby's comfort in all weather conditions. A contoured mesh peek-a-boo window offers ventilation while keeping you and your little boo connected. 

• Lightweight & Ergonomic Design: Carrying your baby is made simple thanks to its lightweight construction and ergonomic handle. The handle's curve around your hip ensures a comfortable and effortless carry all day long. 

• PureCosi Fabrics: Cleaning the Mico XP Max is a breeze. The seat cover can be easily removed without having to rethread the harness. It is both machine washable and dryer safe, making life easier for busy parents. Additionally, these fabrics are made without wool or fire retardant chemicals for extra safety! 

Conveniently Compatible 

Maxi-Cosi is all about making things more convenient for your growing family! 

A 5-point harness provides maximum security and can be adjusted with a single pull, ensuring your baby is snug and safe in their seat.  

If you want to use the seat with a travel system, it can be seamlessly integrated with Maxi-Cosi strollers. Whether you choose the ultra-compact Lara, the innovative Lila CP, the stylish Leona Ultra, or the versatile Lila Modular stroller, the Mico XP Max effortlessly clicks into place (with the strollers’ provided adapters), creating a unified and safe travel solution. 

Frequent travellers will be happy to know this seat is aircraft-certified and ready to accompany you on your flight. Meeting Federal Safety Standards, the Mico XP Max ensures a safe and comfortable journey for your little wonder while the two of your are soaring through the sky!
