Key Advantages of the Mico Plus

Superior Sun & Weather Protection
Extended SPF50+ canopy with side and rear ventilation mesh. The magnetic holders keep the canopy securely in place while allowing excellent airflow.

Easiest Daily Use
Innovative magnetic harness holders automatically keep the straps out of the way when placing your baby in or out of the capsule.

Choose the Maxi Cosi Mico Plus
For most Melbourne families, the Mico Plus is the clear winner.
✓ Easiest & Safest Installation
Redesigned Isofix with a clear green tension indicator on the base.
✓ Best Sun & Comfort Protection
Extended SPF50+ canopy with ventilation and moisture-wicking fabric.
✓ Easiest Daily Use
Magnetic harness holders that automatically hold the straps out of the way.
Note: We no longer recommend the older Mico AP or Mico 12 due to outdated design and comfort issues.

The Maxi-Cosi Mico Plus is compatible with most popular prams via the travel adaptor system.
- Allows seamless transfer from car to pram without waking baby
- Quick and secure click-in mechanism

When Should You Book Your Capsule?
The earlier you book, the better your chances of securing your preferred capsule and dates — especially during peak periods like holidays, school holidays, or around your due date.
We recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance for the best availability. However, we can often accommodate shorter notice, particularly for the Mico Plus Non-Isofix model.
Same-week or same-day delivery may be possible if you text us before 8am. Just call Anthony on 0466 997 233 if your dates are urgent.
If you’re expecting twins, have a premmie baby, or need multiple capsules, we recommend booking as early as possible so we can coordinate everything for you.

What About Older Maxi Cosi Models?
We no longer recommend older Maxi Cosi models such as the Mico AP and Mico 12 for most families.
These models are either discontinued or over 10 years old, and newer capsules like the Mico Plus offer significantly better installation, comfort, and safety features.
If you’re considering an older model, we recommend choosing the current Mico Plus instead for peace of mind and easier daily use.
