Maxi-Cosi Romi Baby and Toddler 2-in-1 Convertible Car Seat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this car seat for travel due to it being very lightweight and that’s about the only positive I can say. It’s the worst car seat I’ve ever used. The straps are incredibly hard to tighten, I have to have my husband do it and he even struggles. They constantly get twisted which is frustrating and the car seat position is almost a full recline laying down which is not ideal for my toddler. I would highly not recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Terrific convertible car seat! Very easy to install.

This is my second Maxi-Cosi seat (I also own the Emerald Pro), and the Romi does exactly what you want from a travel car seat, it’s lightweight and very easy to install. My only downside is the fabric. It’s soft and comfortable, but not very durable. Which is disappointing since we travel often and I was hoping for something more hard-wearing long term. Overall, it’s a great option for travel, but I wouldn’t recommend it as an everyday car seat.

I am absolutely disgusted with Bloomingdale’s. We order a Nuna car seat from here a year ago and it was used and had to return it. I got this one a year later thinking in no way could it be used again because it was unlucky - sure enough it was USED - full of crumbs and saliva stains. DISGUSTING and very unsafe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Romi for a up coming 6 hour flight to Seattle my troller in and for the car rental. Found a good number of reviews that recommended as super light weight and great for traveling. My honest opinion after a solid week of use is I wouldn't use this car seat. Yes, it is very light weight, but the positioning of the opening for the car seat belt is terrible. When in the rear facing position when strapping in my kid, it would dip down. And this was after repositioning the car seat belt a number of times. No confidence it would be in any type of semi fixed position in a crash. The tightening scrap was constantly getting stuck in both directions. If your taking this for a flight, it will more than likely only for in the forward direction, as rear facing the seat is right up against the seat in front. Also, the aircraft seat belt buckle will sit under your childs lower back when tight, not a good feeling. Honestly, I can't recommended the Romi. Yes, it is cheap and light weight, but that's the only good things.

I love how easy this car seat fits in my car and how lightweight it is for traveling and taking on the airplane and a huge plus is that my daughter is comfortable in it.

it is does not work for our son whatsoever. He is not a big kid, and the straps on his legs are so tight that they bruise him. We have tried adjusting it in so many different ways and ultimately cannot get him comfortable. I think it is due to the buckle being so far back and not having any slack. Anyway, I do not recommend this product. There is no way it can fit a 40 lbs child if it doesn't fit my 27 lbs son.

We've been using this baby seat for our little boy for a few weeks and its everything we need in a car seat. Its made of high quality materials and very sturdy. However it's not as heavy as it looks and we're able to move and maneuver it easily. The straps are very soft and comfortable for the baby too. I am very happy with the seat and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family.

I love this for my toddler because I can take this car seat anywhere it's easy to carry . I can easily switch it from one car to another , take it on a plane even! It's perfect if your on the go and so easy to install.

This product was provided to me for free for a review. I'm the person who does hours of research prior to purchasing a new seat. For a budget friendly seat this seat meets most of my important items. It does seem slightly flimsy and i struggle to get it snug in the seat. Weight and height restrictions are comparable to other brands. It is very light weight which if nice if you plan to move it often. Overall i would recommend if the friend needed a budget friendly option.
