Maxi-Cosi - Tayla Max 5-in-1 Modular Travel System

Maxi Cosi Tayla was super nice when I had it. Folds into a full bassinet and then tilts up to he’s regular seat.

I never see it recommended, so I’m just gonna throw out there that we bought the Maxi Cosi Tayla travel system and we’re obsessed with it. It’s incredibly light, feels durable and unlike the Uppababy Vista you can easily transition it from bassinet mode to stroller mode. We’ll have it well into our son’s toddler years. It’s also hundreds of dollars cheaper than the Uppababy. But my best advice is to try and go to a big box store that has the strollers in person. I was dead set on buying the Vista until I tried the maxi cosi and my husband and I liked it so much more. You don’t know what you’ll like until you start to handle it yourself.

Yep! Mind you, we used the heck out of the bassinet stroller for the first few months. But once he started sitting upright by himself he LOATHED the maxi cosi Tayla we got. It was a great system though. Also, food for thought, we initially got an infant carseat that docks in the truck and that we would take in and out. We upgraded to the babyjogger city view rotating one that stays in the truck and I wish we had skipped the infant carseat setup and jumped right to the rotating one. 100x easier and so convenient to get baby in and out of. We plan to get another from the start with our next baby

I got the Maxi Cosi Tayla for pretty cheap on Albee Baby. I love it! I wanted black with the brown leather accents and it’s super easy to fold and set up one handed!

Ftm and we were gifted the silver cross reef 2. I love it and it feels so luxurious. I mostly keep this in the car for when we go out.. Easy one hand fold and unfold, it’s just heavy to load in and out of car but I went to see some other competitors and it was virtually same. I previously had purchased the maxi cosi tayla travel system bc I got it for a killer deal and wanted a second car seat. You can feel the difference in ride from both strollers but I appreciated how transformed into bassinet and seat easily. We used the bassinet a lot. I keep it for neighborhood walks and it’s parked inside the home.

We did the maxi cosi Tayla. No complaints here 🩷

I’m 6’ and my husband is 6’3”. We got the maxi cosi tyla stroller and liked it a lot. We got it with the car seat and it was around 700. I think just the stroller is closer to 500

I tried to find something cheaper that can be a long term option as well when we had our first. We got a maxi cosi combo from Target. The infant carrier and stroller worked well, but once he got bigger it was obvious the toddler attachment for it was not comfortable for him. The back was just at an awkward angle regardless of where it was set. Knowing what I know now I would have just gotten the infant carrier and stroller attachment for it. You can trade it in once yours moves up to a bigger car seat to get some money back. Once they get big enough I highly recommend the Graco Ready 2 Jet compact stroller. It's light and can be opened with one hand. It's small enough to fit in the trunk of a small car if that's what you have. I take my son on around a two mile walk in it almost every day and it isn't showing any signs of wear after 6 months.

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.
