The Britax Bpod Capsule is the latest capsule from Britax and we compare it to the Popular Maxi Cosi Mico Plus capsule. The Britax Bpod Capsule is a major change for Britax moving away from the click and go adaptors attached to the capsule to a travel system that will allow prams such as the Uppababy Vista/ Cruz to easily attach to the Bpod baby capsule. For those interested in options, we also discuss Bpod capsule hire for convenience. This article covers the Britax Bpod Capsule Vs Maxi Cosi Mico Plus and the benefits of each.

ClickTight vs Isofix Installation
The biggest difference parents notice is how easy it is to install each capsule.
- Britax B-Pod: Uses revolutionary ClickTight technology – simply push the capsule down until it clicks.
- Maxi-Cosi Mico Plus: Requires Isofix or seatbelt installation, which can be fiddly.
Every hire includes professional installation by our experienced ACRI-accredited technicians.
Britax B-Pod ClickTight – just push and click
Age Range & Longer Use
The Britax B-Pod lasts significantly longer than the Maxi Cosi Mico Plus:
- Britax B-Pod: Newborn to 12 months (or until child reaches 12 kg)
- Maxi Cosi Mico Plus: Newborn to 6 months only
One capsule instead of two = better value for growing Melbourne families.
Narrowest Capsule – Perfect for Small Cars
At just 43 cm wide, the B-Pod is one of the narrowest capsules available.
- B-Pod: Fits easily in small cars and allows 3-across in larger vehicles
- Mico Plus: 45 cm wide – noticeably bulkier
Melbourne families with two or three children love the extra room.
B-Pod: Single intuitive rear lever
Easy Single Removal Lever
Removing the B-Pod is very easy as the release lever is located at the back of the capsule in a natural position where your hand falls easily.
Unlike the Maxi Cosi Mico Plus capsule, where you must press a button upwards and pull out — a difficult operation for many parents.
“This is a huge plus for the parents as it makes it easier for them to use the baby capsule, there is no confusion. Additionally when the canopy is pushed all the way back it does not cover the lever. Another win for the Britax Bpod Capsule.”
Top Tether – Easier & More Secure
The top tether is one of the most important safety connections.
- Britax B-Pod: Fixed hoop tether – easy to attach and very secure
- Maxi-Cosi Mico Plus: Snap hook tether – many parents find it fiddly
The B-Pod’s fixed hoop makes correct installation much simpler and more reliable every time.
