Maxi-Cosi - Anna³ TRIO (STR012)

I'm not in the US so I'm not sure about prices, but the other day someone posted about a Maxi-Cosi stroller and no one seemed to have heard of it, so I'm assuming it's probably cheaper than the brands you mentioned. We got the Anna 3 and it's amazing! The car seat attaches to the stroller base, and the regular seat converts into a bassinet.

Juste pour la question de la poussette trio, on nous a offert une Maxi Cosi dans ce genre que j'ai très peu utilisée les premiers mois pour ensuite passer à une autre poussette, et en la reessayant bien plus tard (à 10 mois environ) je me suis rendue compte que la nacelle convertible en assise pour "grand" était vraiment beaucoup trop étroite pour mon bébé 😅. Le siège auto idem on a dû abandonner le cosy vers 9-10 mois car il devenait vraiment trop petit. Donc pas un super investissement pour nous le format trio, même si je comprends que ça peut attirer pour les premiers mois.

In your budget the maxi cosi travel system all the way. I had it, loved it. It’s not too heavy, comes with absolutely everything you need. Car seat and the regular seat can convert from bassinet to upright. It’s awesome. Sometimes you can find the whole system in target at a very hefty discount.

I got a maxi Cosi travel set and I’m so happy with it. We’ve outgrown the bucket seat attachment but I love that the bassinet converts into a seat that will last for a while longer. I feel like influencers are why those brands are popular and expensive.

I have the Maxi Cosi travel system and a compact SUV - Mitsubishi RVR and agree with this. It fits well in the back, but the passenger seat needs to be moved up extremely closely to the dash. It doesn’t fit in the middle well because then both seats need be adjusted the same. I do like it overall though, I saw many reviews about the wheels being bad but it’s worked nicely for us (only been using it 3 weeks so far) for casual walks. I don’t find the car seat too heavy, but to be fair I didn’t test a lot.

Our Maxi Cosi travel system is wonderful. There are a few different style options but they all have the same stroller with bassinet that converts to a seat for bigger kids & todlers, and attachments for carseat. Highly recommend.

We had a maxi Cosi travel system that I got from John Pye for £170, came with an isize car seat that was compatible with the same bases as the Pearl 360. Used it for around 7.5 months then sold it for £120 as our needs had changed ☺️ I don’t regret not splashing big money on a swanky one at all. My son was comfortable in the bassinet and it did what I needed it to do!

We bought the stroller and car seat combo from maxi cosi. No complaints! We also got the Evenflo dual ride due to some travel, and I would have just bought that if you don’t need a stroller without a bassinet. Carrying around a car seat can be taxing, and the dual ride has base that converts in to a stroller, which is pretty handy!

We didnt have a budget cap, went in and tried everything, ended up liking the maxi cosi travel system way more. Important caveats: we didnt need our stroller to convert to a double, we didnt need the safe sleep bassinet, and we wanted a travel system, not just stroller.

Also FWIW we ended up going with the maxi-cosi travel system which unintentionally was the cheapest! I was totally expecting to want the Clek Liing + Uppa baby, but weight, size, and other factors made the decision for me

Go to a baby store and try them! We would have been fine to pay more for a more high-end unit if we really liked it, but we ended up like the Maxi-cosi travel system best AND it was the cheapest option. Important to know what care about first too. Eg. A big advantage of the uppababy is the 2-kid conversion whereas we are expecting to be 1 and done.

I have the Maxi Cosi infant car seat / travel set and personally really like it! Found it reasonably priced and the stroller is great on sidewalks and trails (also live in NB).
