Fame Modular Stroller

I have the Maxi Cosi Fame. It has so many nice features and i love it so much!

Not the Fame! And the car seats are always good.

I realise you’ve probably already made your purchase, but personally I’d avoid it. We bought the full travel system and all seemed good, but we have experienced the following issues over the last 7 months. - the battery bank is terrible. If you use the led lights even for a second the battery bank itself basically remains on at all times, this means within 4-5 hours the battery is flat even with the lights now being off. Maxi-Cosi sent a replacement battery, same thing happens. I have seen reports of people being told by customer care that the ‘correct’ thing to do is to unplug and charge the battery EVERY SINGLE TIME you use the lights of use it to charge your phone. It basically doesn’t go to sleep like a normal USB power bank does which is basically all this thing is. - the extendable flap on the hoods of both the bastinet and the upright seat is extremely poor quality. I assume it’s made of cardboard rather than a stiff plastic as it creases and warps and makes the lovely shape of the hood look ugly. - the material around the hinges on the hood for the bastinet is very thin, ours has little wear marks/holes in in it after 4 months where the hinge rubs the fabric every time you move the hood up and down. - the wheels and brakes are fiddly. Sometimes they won’t engage or disengage first time and require 2-3 clicks to get them working. It’s a lovely looking, but ultimately flawed and rather heavy/bulky system. If I would have known I’d have bought something else.  As for the seat being suitable from birth, no chance. Ours is 6 months old now and even in the lowest setting the shoulder straps are too high, the buckle is also extremely fiddly to get assembled latched with a wiggling child sat in it. I should say ours is a ‘large’ baby being in the 83rd percentile (basically larger than 83 other babies if he was in a random group of 100 babies his exact age)

We have the Maxi Cosi Fame and we love it. Bought that and the Pebble 360 pro car seat as part of the bundle and it's very easy to set up and also easy to get the seat in and out of the car.

I have the Maxi Cosi fame. I liked the brake on the middle, the storage, height adjustments, aesthetic. It turns quite nicely. But it's really heavy and if you have a smaller baby the pram straps aren't adjustable enough which is a real shame. I also find it difficult to get some of the additions in Australia. Ultimately I think I'll get a travel pram soon and probably end up using that more often.

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.
