Maxi-Cosi - Mara XT Ultra Compact Stroller

Don’t get a Mockingbird. My 2 year old does not fit in it and she is average height and weight. At 6 months I got the maxi Cosi Mara XT. No one ever talks about this stroller. It’s amazing and compact.

Pour avoir investi dans une trio... Bah ça ne nous a jamais servi ! Ma petite était constamment en écharpe/aux bras et ne supportait pas d'être posée. Donc la poussette on s'en est servi peut-être une dizaine de fois. Par contre on a pris un modèle bien compact de chez maxi cosy quand elle a eu 8mois. Elle a trois ans, et même si on s'en sert moins parce qu'elle marche bien ou préfère les épaules, elle est toujours au top. Peut-être plutôt investir dans un bon porte bébé, c'est une bonne idée. J'étais très très fan des mei tai de love and carry, mais il en existe des tonnes. Et prenez de l'occasion, on en trouve plein. Et ma petite fait 12kg à 3ans, si ça peut aider. Elle est un peu sous la moyenne.

I live in a large city with extensive public transportation but also have a car that I use relatively frequently, so a travel system was key for us. I found a MaxiCosi travel system on super sale with some cash back options so purchased it for verrrrry cheap. If I lived in the suburbs and didn't need a hearty stroller for days out on the town, walking/on subways/buses, I might regret the purchase as it folds quite large and takes up basically the entire trunk of my station wagon. But it does suit my needs very well, and when we make car trips we just take the size into consideration as we pack up to go. Personally, I wanted one new so that I wouldn't have to clean all the textile components before use.

We live in a rural area, so we checked facebook market place for the three biggest cities closest to us. Found high end brands for dirt cheap barely used. I can’t remember off the top of my head but I think we got an open box maxi cosi carseat stroller combo for $100. It was some set that would be $500+ normally brand new. I guess they received several of them at their baby shower so they sold the extra. We got lucky! :)
