The first drive home from the hospital is a strange one. You’ve done that trip a hundred times, yet suddenly you’re doing 40 in a 60 zone and checking the rear-view mirror every eight seconds. Everything in the back seat feels enormously important. The baby capsule most of all.
So we’ve got a very good one to give away. Mum Central has teamed up with Maxi-Cosi to give ONE lucky reader a Maxi-Cosi Mico 12 LX Pro baby capsule in Onyx, valued at $749. Entry details are at the bottom, but first, here’s why this one’s worth wanting.
To enter, complete the entry form below, but first, let’s take a closer look at this fabulous $749 prize and discover why the Maxi-Cosi Mico 12 LX Pro could make getting out and about with your little one so much easier!
Meet the Maxi-Cosi Mico 12 LX Pro
Maxi-Cosi has been strapped into Australian cars for more than 10 years, you’ve probably spotted the logo in a few of your friends’ back seats already.
The Mico 12 LX Pro is a premium baby capsule designed for babies from low birthweight up to around 12 months. That low birthweight part matters more than you might think. Not every bub arrives on schedule or at a textbook 3.5 kg, and plenty of capsules aren’t built with smaller newborns in mind. This one has automatic harness adjustment and a plush newborn insert for a snug fit from day one.
It also features a lightweight design, making it easier to manage as part of your everyday routine. When paired with a compatible stroller, you can simply click the capsule into place to create a convenient travel system, helping you move between the car and stroller with fewer steps.
Should You Install a Baby Capsule With ISOFIX or a Seatbelt?
Whichever suits your car. The Mico 12 LX Pro gives you both options.
- ISOFIX with ISOGO. If your car has ISOFIX anchor points (most newer cars do), the ISOGO base clips straight in.
- SMART Lock seatbelt installation. No ISOFIX? Use your car’s seatbelt with Maxi-Cosi’s SMART Lock system instead.
That flexibility is handy for two-car families, or when the grandparents are on pick-up duty in their 2009 Commodore. Whichever way you go, follow the instructions to the letter, and if you’re not 100% sure it’s right, book a check with a qualified restraint fitter. Most of us aren’t as good at this as we reckon we are.
One-Handed Adjustments and No Re-Threading
Newborns grow at a frankly rude pace. Those 0000 onesies you bought? They’ll fit for about a fortnight.
The Mico 12 LX Pro has a one-handed, 9-position headrest and harness that adjust together, so you never have to re-thread the harness. If you’ve ever wrestled straps through the back of a car seat at 7am before daycare drop-off, you know exactly how good that is.
There’s also an adjustable crotch buckle for a comfier fit as bub grows. And magnetic harness holders keep the straps out of the way while you lift your baby in. Tiny detail. Huge difference when you’re buckling in a furious eight-week-old.
The Little Details That Make It Feel Premium
- Air Protect® side impact protection built into the headrest, designed to absorb crash forces around your baby’s head.
- An UPF50+ water-resistant canopy with a peek-a-boo mesh window, so you can check on bub without lifting the hood. (An Aussie summer essential.)
- ECOCare fabrics made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.
- A lifetime warranty plus access to Maxi-Cosi’s Crash Exchange program when you register the capsule.
From Car to Pram Without Waking the Baby
You know the moment. Bub finally nods off five minutes from the shops and now you’ve got to get out of the car without ruining everything.
The Mico 12 LX Pro clicks onto most leading stroller brands to create a travel system, so the capsule goes from car to pram with your sleeping baby still in it. Check Maxi-Cosi’s stroller compatibility guide before you buy a pram, as some need adapters. And remember capsules are made for car travel, so follow the manufacturer’s advice on how long bub should stay in one.
Ready for Your Next Adventure with Maxi-Cosi?
A lightweight designed capsule, two installation options, and a harness you can adjust with one hand? The Maxi-Cosi Mico 12 LX Pro certainly has a few features worth getting excited about! And don’t forget to enter for your chance to WIN!
Because preparing for a new baby comes with plenty of expenses. Having one less thing to buy, especially a baby capsule worth $749, would be a pretty lovely win!
