Car Seat Review
This is a very nice car seat. The seat itself is a really nice padded cushion. You can tell it is better made than the average car seat. It is sturdy, nice material, and overall a quality made car seat. I also like the light tan coloring.

Great for my toddler!
As soon as I opened the box, I felt the soft fabric of the carseat.This was definitely different than the pilling fabric of our current seat. I admired the nice, neutral color and liked the fabric accent that were covering the buckle. Installation was not difficult. My husband made sure to read the enclosed booklet. Once installed, my daughter had no complaints when we were testing the location of the shoulder straps. I really like that the shoulder straps can be moved and not interfere when putting our girl in the seat. Finally, I love the cup holders. I appreciate that there are holders on both sides, allowing for a water bottle and snacks. I anticipate using this seat as my daughter grows. It seems durable and well made. Thank you!

Great safe seat and easy to use!
When considering the first car seat, I never considered the many vehicles it would be in. Is the seat bottom flat or angled? Does the seat back recline or is it in a fixed position? How will it be secured while in the car? How does all this pertain to the Magellan? After our 2yo Magellan was in a significant accident, the car seat search began. We looked at all different brands from low-end to high-end for the right fit. I drive different company vehicles and am installing/uninstalling the seat 4-5 days a week. So, I need something easy to install and uninstall quickly. The Magellan is on the larger side of seats and weighs about 25lbs. In rear facing, the adjustable back saves space compared to a fixed convertible back. We used the Magellan in my wife's vehicle to keep the front seat back further when in rear facing. The Magellan multi-position base adapts to different seat positions making it easy to install in a multitude of different vehicles. The latch system is easy to clip/unclip. The rear facing and forwarding facing seat belt paths are easy to guide the seat belt through and the added lock off notches keep the belt secure. An issue with the old Magellan was the base was wide and it was tough to get a flat, level mount. With this new Magellan, the base is more narrow than the old base and now sits inside the contour of the seats for a flat mount. This allows for a more consistent and tighter install. The spring assist harness is nice improvement over the old and easy to get the child in and out. All in all, I stayed with the Magellan after a car accident because I know my child is safe and it is the best laid out car seat for my lifestyle. Not to mention, Maxi-Cosi's parent company, Dorel, employs a great customer service team that knows how to treat customers with respect and empathy!

This is a wonderful car seat!
This is a fantastic car seat that will be used during all stages of my baby's journey! I love how well made it is and doesn't feel cheap! It is very sturdy and super comfy! The only downside for me is it is quite bulky but other than that it's perfect

Great car seat!
Overall this car seat it awesome. I use it as a second car seat for my 4 year old, as her car seat is a pain to move from car to car. She took her first ride in this seat a little over a week ago and all she could tell me was how "comfy" it is. That, and my husband loved the install. I also like the placement of the cup holders and how easy it is to buckle. In our other car seat, it seems like she's sitting on the buckles, but that is not a problem with this one. Would definitely get another one and recommend!

Checks off all the boxes
This car seat checks off all the boxes in terms of safety, comfort, and easy installation. My daughter looks extremely comfortable in it, and I feel safe with the secure 5 point harness. It's appealing to the eye and I love the cream color and how it blends with my seats. When it comes to superior quality, comfort, design and safety this is it! Everything from the quality of the fabric and functionality of this car seat is impressive. It is definitely on the high end of car seats. I like that it can be used from newborn of 5lbs and up until 100lbs. Well worth the price for the quality that you get. It is fully adjustable and reclines easily with the push of buttons to size and needs as baby grows. It has 2 cup holders that can be easily removed for cleaning. The harness is sturdy and has a nice padding that is nice to have and easy to use or adjust. The fabric with no flame retardant chemicals is so important to me and is something that is hard to find these days. I would recommend this seat to anyone who's looking to have a quality car seat through various stages of their child's life.
