Who the Mico Pro+ Infant Car Seat fits
This seat covers one stage. Maxi-Cosi gives it a 8-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.
Rear-facing harness (infant carrier)4 to 30 lb · Up to 32 in
The child faces the back of the car, which keeps the head, neck and spine supported in a frontal crash. Keep this mode as long as the child fits it.

How the Mico Pro+ Infant Car Seat installs
Lower anchors
Self-tightening LATCH (base). Check your vehicle manual for which seating positions have anchors, and switch to the seat belt once the child passes the anchor weight limit in the manual.
Harness
Rethread harness (5 positions). Check the harness height at each growth spurt: at or below the shoulders rear-facing, at or above them forward-facing.
Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.
Will it fit your car?
Maxi-Cosi does not publish a width for this seat, so measure your back seat and compare it with the seat in a store before buying. It weighs 9.7 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.
Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.

Where Maxi-Cosi’s page and manual disagree
Product page: Features list: 'Base features a load leg for added stability'; Compare page: 'Load Leg + Anti-Rebound Bar' row marked ✘ for Mico Pro+
When they differ, follow the manual and the labels on your seat.
Is the Mico Pro+ Infant Car Seat recalled?
NHTSA currently lists one campaign naming this Maxi-Cosi family: 23C002000. A campaign names a family, not always every build, so check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture against the campaign itself.
I have not reviewed these campaigns for this model yet, so shopping links stay paused here.
Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect; Maxi-Cosi lists 2 colors of this seat.
Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Maxi-Cosi so you hear about the next one.
