Maxi-Cosi's new Priori Convertible Car Seat ($199) is newly on the market. Brought to America by the Dorel Juvenile Group, this convertible car seat is designed to support your child from birth to 4 years (up to 40 lbs) AND it has a RECLINE feature (actually 4 position settings for the seat).
I tested it with my two year old son, in the forward facing position. Unfortunately my toddler rarely falls asleep in the car and hates to recline anyway (even in a stroller). So, I had to test the recline feature of the Priori without him in it. To use the recline feature on the Priori, all you do is reach right under the bottom of the car seat and pull the handle until it is in the recline position you want (PLEASE pull over before you do this!!). Changing the recline settings took mere seconds and the four positions available are awake, relax, nap or slumber.
Features of the Priori:
- 4 independent recline positions are adjustable while your child’s in the car seat
- Energy absorbing EPP foam
- Harness holders keep harness straps out of the way
- Easy to install with 3-point seat belt or LATCH
- Rear-facing 5-35 lbs, 19”–36” · Forward-facing 22-40 lbs, 34-43”

It's lighter, cushier and has a smaller footprint than most of the infant carseats on the US market. So it is easy to see why the Maxi Cosi Mico ($169) has long been beloved by Europeans. Note: the same carseat was sold under the model name "Cabrio" in Europe.
The Mico is currently getting a warm welcome stateside. The Mico meets or exceeds US safety standards and this is not surprising, considering that Europe has stricter guidelines than the USA. Saferty features include EPS foam lining and superior side impact protection for the tiniest passenger.
This carseat is easy to take in and out of the car, thanks to the lighter weight and narrower profile. It latches very quickly and securely onto their base or can be secured using a seatbelt. There are indicators on the seat that let you know when you have attached it properly. Adjustments to the child harness are easy and can be done from the front of the seat via a one-pull mechanism. The handle is ergonomically designed for maximum carrying comfort and the hood is generously sized and extra sturdy. Babies love all the comfy padding and siblings love that there is still room for them in the backseat.
As if all this was not enough, the Maxi Cosi comes in a bunch of hot colors combos. The fabrics are removeable, washable and genuinely fashionable. Rest assured - no overly cutesy bears to avoid here.
