Stuck trying to decide between the two. Can you sway me :)

*I'm having a section. Due in August.
*This is the last baby.
*Will be driving a 2014 Odyssey as soon as they come out. Slim chance carrier might ever be used in DH's 2011 Corolla.
*I have a Bugaboo Cameleon stroller with bassinet and a BJCM.
*I only used a bucket with DS for about 3 months, because it was so %^*# heavy!
*DS was 9 lbs and 22 inches at birth.

I have had both but only actually used the Aton. I bought a Mico at first because I thought it would fit well in my car but I couldn't do 3 across with it. I didn't really like the base either. But I LOVED my Aton so much!! It is so nice and cushy and just really awesome. And light :)

Is there anything wrong with the Mico? I can't finds a CSO review for it. Wondering why it isn't more popular.

I think the Mico is just really expensive for a seat that only goes to 22 lb, and I really didn't like the release lever to get the seat off the base.

My nephew is using an Aton and both my sister and I like it. It works great with the BJCM and adapters. The base is awesome to install too. My nephew is huge at 18 pounds 7 ounces and 27 inches and has a little room left to go. There is a thread in the baby forum with pics of him from birth to 6 months in it.

I'm not a Mico fan at all. I :love: the Aton.

I think Judi had some serious install issues with a Mico but they may have been vehicle specific.

This. I was very unimpressed with the Mico. The release was weird, the harness pissed me off, the base was cranky, and I just am not a fan of the parent company. I LOVED the Aton. I'm still sad over her outgrowing it.

I had a micro. I got it on clearance, and It was the lily pink. I really liked it. I had zero issues with it. I would use it again. BUT... I would not pay full price for it. I knew i would only use it for it a few months. I used it 5 months and switched DD to a CCO, witch I love.

I have six kids. Next time ill skip the bucket and go strait to the CCO and baby wear more. I think Its easier chasing littles while wearing the baby. I would get a Graco my ride 65 if I didn't already have the CCO's.

Did you have any issue with the Aton harness sticking in the base?
