Can I use Mica 360 Pro in multiple positions in the car?
Mica 360 Pro can be used in rearward facing position (until at least 15 months and up to 4 years) and forward-facing position, all the way up to 4 years. At Maxi-Cosi we recommend to travel with your child in rearward facing position for as long as possible, as research shows this is the safest way of traveling with children.
Why do baby's and young toddlers have to travel in rearward facing position?
Babies have a large and relatively heavy head compared to the rest of their body. In addition, their neck muscles are not yet fully developed. If the baby is travelling in a forward-facing position, his or her head will be thrown forward in the event of a head-on collision. It is safer to travel rearward facing with babies as long as possible.
How to switch the Mica 360 Pro from rearward to forward facing?
In order to avoid possible mistakes in daily life and ensure rearward facing travel for the babies up to 15 months, Mica 360 Pro has an anti misuse button. If you choose to seat your child facing forward after 15 months and at least 76 cm of length, you first need to push this button to unlock the forward-facing position.
Can I rotate the Mica 360 Pro on the base in any position?
Yes, you can easily and safely spin the seat in any position, including fully upright or fully reclined.

Maxi-Cosi's 5-point safety harness with Easy-in feature makes getting your child in and out of the seat easy. You will notice that when you unbuckle, the shoulder pads will spring upwards and stay up, to make room for inserting the baby through and your toddler.
How tight should I fasten the safety harness system?
To fasten the harness correctly it is key to restrain the child well in the Mica 360 Pro car seat. You need to pull the harness adjuster strap until the harness is close to the child's body. If the harness is correctly tight, you should be able to pass only 1 finger between your child's body and the harness strap. The tighter the harness is, the better your child will be restrained and the safer he/she is in case of an accident.
