11.519 -> hi i'm mohammed for being cursing
13.2 -> installers today we're looking at the
15.759 -> maxi cozy
17.6 -> miko infant car seat with air protect
20.64 -> this is the newer version of the maxi
22.72 -> cozy nikko this one was made of january
25.439 -> 2014. the seat is a little bit different
27.92 -> than the previous maxi cozy eco model
30.16 -> the previous model which was around for
32.239 -> a good few years
34.399 -> had quite a few significant flaws on
37.36 -> this model
38.879 -> mac si cosi has corrected those
41.44 -> problematic areas this seat accommodates
43.84 -> infants from five pounds of 22 pounds
45.84 -> and up to 29 inches the seat retails for
48.16 -> around 220 dollars as a sleek design
51.28 -> with clean colors and nice fabric
54 -> which makes it visually very appealing
56.16 -> and it fits well on the poppy on popular
58.399 -> stroller models which also adds to the
60.64 -> popularity of the seat
62.879 -> the bucket part of the seat weighs
64.479 -> around nine pounds not the lightest seat
67.119 -> but not the heaviest one either you can
69.2 -> also use this car seat in an airplane
72.72 -> it comes with a basic manual that covers
74.88 -> everything but for the premium brand
76.799 -> that max cosy is going after
79.439 -> i wish it would give it also a better
81.2 -> manual
82.4 -> when it comes out of the box it's like
84.799 -> this there's no assembly required it's
87.119 -> ready to be installed and used because
89.68 -> it is an infant carrier type car seat
92 -> you are able to detach the carrier from
94 -> the base and leave the vehicle leave the
96.32 -> base installed in the vehicle allowing
98.88 -> you to carry the carrier or point on a
100.72 -> compatible stroller to release this
102.88 -> carrier from the base the lever is over
104.88 -> here the leader on this one works well
107.68 -> when releasing the base on the older
109.68 -> versions there's miko carson to release
112.799 -> and snapping the carrier onto the base
115.68 -> was very popular problematic and a
118 -> headache for many pairs because it would
120 -> the release level was actually on the
121.84 -> base itself
123.439 -> on the new model
125.28 -> nazi cosy has fixed this and i'm really
127.2 -> happy to see them do this the handle on
129.599 -> this car seat has three positions the
131.52 -> upright position is for when it's used
133.52 -> in the car
135.04 -> and the one all the way back
137.12 -> keeps it from rocking the middle one
138.959 -> keeps it
140.08 -> out of the way depending on what version
142.319 -> of this seat you get it will come with
144.4 -> different inserts and headrests the
146.239 -> canopy and the seat is very nice and big
149.76 -> also an improvement from the previous
151.44 -> model it also has this part that flips
154.4 -> up
155.599 -> which makes the canopy larger this seat
157.92 -> makes good use of the energy absorbing
159.84 -> material foam which is
161.599 -> lying here
162.8 -> this and this version has
164.879 -> ap air protect which is meant to reduce
167.519 -> side impact injury
169.519 -> the level indicator on the seat
171.76 -> is a black line
174.08 -> when the seat is in the vehicle this
175.76 -> line should be leveled to the ground
178.56 -> i don't think putting the black line on
180.72 -> a black
182.64 -> plastic is very smart because it's just
184.4 -> very difficult to see
186.08 -> all versions of this of this seat have a
188.64 -> five-point harness system and a front
191.2 -> harness adjuster which works nice and
193.2 -> smooth
194.239 -> the harness system on this car seat has
196.8 -> plenty of settings with four harness
198.64 -> height adjustments and two crotch bubble
201.04 -> positions this is a decent amount of
202.879 -> settings to adjust a nice snug fit the
205.519 -> hardest height adjustments on all of the
207.36 -> up and all these seats have to be done
209.28 -> manually by re-threading the harness not
211.76 -> a big issue as this will only need to be
214.159 -> done a couple of times
215.84 -> and the slots that they go in through
217.76 -> are nice and wide the straps however on
219.84 -> this seat do twist easily and need to be
221.84 -> straightened often which i find is a
224.08 -> pain
225.599 -> both sides of the strap on the seat are
228.239 -> the same instead of individual ones on
230.72 -> each side so you will need to make sure
232.959 -> you don't accidentally have one strap
235.36 -> longer than the other on the older model
238.08 -> of the seat this was also a real pain as
240.72 -> the straps would get unbalanced very
242.56 -> easily however on this seat it is kind
245.12 -> of difficult to get them unbalanced
247.92 -> now let's look at the base of this car
249.92 -> the base of this car seat is a basic
252.08 -> base while constructed and it comes with
254.799 -> premium latch attachments but overall
257.44 -> i'm not a fan of this base
260 -> the base
261.28 -> although has improved from the older
262.8 -> version still has a little bit of a poor
265.6 -> design
266.8 -> when installing it in vehicles that have
268.56 -> a latch attachments that are positioned
271.759 -> high
272.72 -> in the vehicle the tightening mechanism
275.04 -> rises all the way to the top near the
277.6 -> bend on the base
279.04 -> of the belt path which leaves for poor
281.04 -> installation
282.32 -> the latch connectors
283.919 -> on this base can be easily stored when
285.919 -> you're not using them this base slaps a
288.639 -> built-in seat belt lock-off the built-in
290.96 -> lock-off will be used to simplify
292.72 -> installing the seat by locking the
294.4 -> vehicle seat belt into place
296.56 -> the level adjustment on this base has
298.479 -> two positions to achieve the required
301.759 -> height
302.88 -> from the front end of the vehicle the
304.56 -> base to achieve a 45 degree angle pool
307.36 -> noodles or towels can also be used and i
309.6 -> find they work a lot better
312 -> here are my final thoughts on the maxi
314.4 -> cozy nico car seat doral the maker of
316.96 -> the sea has definitely improved this
319.12 -> version nico compared to the one they
320.8 -> had in the past this version
323.36 -> still looks great the safety and comfort
326.16 -> are there however the functionality
328.479 -> could still be used a little bit more to
330.32 -> keep the older version of the seat i
332.24 -> didn't like at all it was just marketed
334.56 -> very well
336 -> and sold on a name alone
338.8 -> and the fact that it looked really neat
340.8 -> and
342.479 -> hooked into a lot of neat struggles
345.84 -> however
346.88 -> this new one's a lot better but even
348.72 -> with the newer model there's still a
350.24 -> higher chance of design interference
352.16 -> which
353.199 -> between the vehicle seat and the base
355.759 -> which causes which can cause the seat
358.4 -> not to be compatible with your vehicle
360.08 -> so if you are planning to switch your
361.759 -> car during the use of this seat you may
365.28 -> want to make sure that it works well in
368.08 -> the other vehicle that you will be
369.68 -> installing the base into
371.919 -> children that fit in this seat are
373.52 -> comfortable and snug so that's
376.88 -> maxi cozy does make two different infant
379.12 -> carriers or carriers the prezi and the
381.6 -> mikko the pricier is a completely new
383.44 -> model and i personally like the prezi a
386.08 -> lot more than the rego
388.56 -> but overall this miko version
391.199 -> is
392 -> fairly good and it's a lot lot lot
394.319 -> better than the older version
396.4 -> thanks for watching
