Anyone have any comments about the Maxi Cosi? A friend was in Europe recently and this was the seat that came with the car rental. Claims it was fantastic. I see they are now available in US but not Canada (I am in Mtl) I am shopping a car seat to fit a Mitsubishi Outlander - looking for something my son can grow into. I would like it to be comfortable, reclining since we drive long distances but also want a good clip...would this be a 5-point harness system?? I also want a material that is easy to clean - none of these velvet-like covers...

Also, a child is required to be in a car seat until what weight or age limit? Some of these (like the Britax) go up to 65 lbs. My friend's daughter is 5 yrs old and only weighs 40 pounds...how likely with the child need a seat until 65 lbs?

Please help.

Signed,

Clueless first time mom
