Anyone have this carseat? Can you offer your thoughts on pros/cons?
I have an SUV with a convertible for my toddler (Britax Boulevard). My second son is just about to be moved into a convertible. He is chubbier than his brother so I was looking into my options and was curious about the Maxi Cosi.

We looked at this seat and installed it, but didn't end up buying it. I actually really liked the seat. It seemed super comfortable. It was just so huge. So huge. If we had a bigger car we may have gone with it.

@Cchoi4: We ended up with a Britax 
It fit best in our car. However, we did it knowing that we would have a bigger car before #2 is ready for a convertible. So, LO will be in the Britax until #2 is ready for it. At that point we'll probably move LO into a Diono Radian as she'll need a bigger seat by then. We'll keep passing the Britax down to the youngest kid until it expires

We have it and no complaints thus far. It is big but we have an suv and only one lo so the size hasnt been an issue. We've also used it in my parents' mid to larger sedan and it seemed like there was still a lot of room in the backseat.

I've heard some less than favourable stuff about it - I think mostly related to how huge it is.
Do you belong to the FB group Car Seats for the Littles? I would advise you to ask there (tell them your car, your LO's height, weight, age and shirt size) and they should be able to give you some good suggestions.

@betsyboop: @heartonastring: car seats for littles recommended this seat for me....I really like what I've seen online, but you guys are asking me nervous. We have a Toyota matrix and corolla. I guess I need to find a local store that sells it and go try it out.

We have this seat. We have it in a two door car. It is large and makes me have to sit pretty far up but I am still comfortable. If it helps I am 5'7. R seems comfy in it! Easy to use in regards to straps and adjustments and easy to install.

We have this seat and love it. It is big, but part of the reason I like it is because it has a really nice recline. LO sleeps in the car a lot and it seems really comfortable for that reason. I also love the fabric, it is never too hot or cold, just always comfortable. Plus the big side pieces offer the newest side impact technology which I love.
