Maxi-Cosi Mico Pro Infant Car Seat (IC418): The review site gives this exact Mico Pro a Parent Score of 84/100 and labels it Very Good/Good, based on 51 analyzed reviews. Maxi-Cosi Consumer Care lists a warranty length of 365 days. Joie Baby I2320AA: Recommended verdict; BabyGearLab 2025 test found lower-than-average head and chest readings; LATCH 8.7/10 but belt only 4.0/10; only one lab tested it; no flame-retardant or PFAS disclosure located; no recall located. Rear-facing weight range 4-30 lb; height under 30 in and top of child’s head must be at least 1 in below top of restraint; replace after moderate or severe crash; expiration 7 years after purchase; FAA approved without base. PEG Perego (retailers list the brand as PEG) Primo Viaggio Nido: The seat scores 72 overall and ranks 19th of 46 infant seats the lab has tested, with a recommendation from the lab. Evenflo NurtureMax: NHTSA's Car Seat Ease of Use Ratings tested the Evenflo NurtureMax, model 36412348, an infant seat made 2022-06-13 for children 4.0-22.0 lb and 17.0-29.0 in., and rated it rear-facing overall 3 of 5 stars (securing the child 2, labels 4, vehicle installation features 3, instructions 3); these are ease-of-use ratings, not crash protection results, and the seat page is https://api.nhtsa.gov/childSeats?dataSet=ratings. CSFTL says the seat expires 6 years after manufacture, printed on the seat's labels rather than in the manual; another source, Safe in the Seat, lists a 10-year expiration, so the sources disagree on this. Britax Cypress: The reviewer rated the Cypress 4.7 out of 5 and called it a worthy successor to the B-Safe line, standing out for safety features, easy installation and build quality.
