Maxi-Cosi - Nomad XL Plus (8063671110)

Personally I wouldn’t trust taxi or hire companies to provide a car seat which was an appropriate stage, a seat I felt safe using and one I trusted had never been dropped or in an accident. Your son is at the awkward stage been infant carrier (unless he’s very small) and HBB, both of which are more portable than the toddler seats. If he still rear faces, the cheapest option for travel seat I see recommended is the Graco Slimfit R129 but it’s still bulky. On the smaller but pricier end there’s the TinySeats Two (which folds) or Nachfolger HyFive World (which is inflatable). If he’s forward facing the Maxi Cosi Nomad could work. [Just don’t get anything like this](https://www.which.co.uk/news/article/why-are-ebay-and-amazon-still-selling-killer-car-seats-a4kjj8v3Jxp6) from Amazon or Temu or TikTok Shop. The link has a crash test included and they aren’t crash tested so just fall apart. You’d be better strapping him into the car seatbelt than one of those.

You could get a folding high back booster for the 3 year old (not ideal but as it's only for a transfer your risk appetite might be ok with it) like the Be Cool Foldy or the MaxiCosi Nomad. And then depending on the weight / height of the 18m old do they still fit in an infant carrier? If so you could buy a cheap one like the Joie Juva. Or Joie Steadi to travel with.

Maxi cosi Nomad folds very small and comes with a bag attached at the bottom.

We have a Maxi cosi nomad. It is a foldable car seat that comes with a carry baggy. You can fold it up and have it with you everywhere

We mainly check in our car seats, which we bubble wrap and then stick them in a car seat bag. Our oldest uses a Maxi Cosi Nomad while our youngest uses a Maxi Cosi Pebble Pro. The Nomad is slim enough it fits in the Pebble, so we can get both in one bag. A few times we've had to pay for car seats with our car hire, or ask the taxi company to fit some. These were trips within the UK, or to Spain. When we went to Hong Kong, we just did without, as public transport is great there.

Flown 16 times now with baby/toddler now aged 2.3. The car seat seemed pointless as they sit on your lap until aged 2, or in a bassinet when very small. On our last flight, our little one had his own seat in a long haul. He napped by leaning on daddy, feet on me. I do pack a car seat if we are renting a car at our end destination. We have a Maxi Cosi Nomad, which folds up goes in checked luggage. Also: we could not take our regular car seat on a plane, even if we wanted to. We have it on an isofix base locked to the car with a T bar. It is not suitable for airlines. Anything suitable for an airline would not be good enough for me for our car.

We have a Maxi Cosi Nomad which cost 110Eur. It is a car seat that folds up and goes in checked luggage. If we did not have this, we would rent a car sear from the rental car company, use public transport, or use a taxi for a trip to our hotel. A car seat for the plane would be too cumbersome I think.

We take our own car seats - we have a Maxi Cosi Nomad for our toddler and also a baby-carrier type seat for our baby. Check if a booster seat is ok for any of your children, but if not, I highly recommend the Nomad! Rent a car and install them. Nomad goes in the hold in a suitcase FYI

You can buy when you arrive - Halfords usually have seats in stock. You are allowed to drive in a taxi without a seat, but not a hire car. One of you will likely have to get the seats and come back to the airport for the family. What I recommend instead: 2 x Maxi Cosi Nomads, which are great in cars for children your age. They fold up in a suitcase. We take ours everywhere.

I live in Singapore. Many of our friends got the Doona Car seat and Stoller which folds up easily from a stroller into a car seat and then put into a Grab. We chose the Nuna car seat which is light and can latch into most Grabs easily. It can attach to our stroller. These are infant car seats which are easier to install. Once they get too big for them you either can use Grab Kids which has a car seat in it or find a different model. We chose to use the Maxi Cosi Nomad which is a more portable toddler car seat.

I have a used yoyo bassinet and maxi-cosy baby car seat and everything is compatible with the yoyo stroller frame. You can take the car seat out and attach it right to the yoyo frame, or take the bassinet off the yoyo frame, all this without waking up the baby. I’m not presently trying to sell any of it, but in the off chance you end up getting a used yoyo stroller (trust me they are worth the extra money if you travel often by plane, since the stroller is small enough to take as carry-on), send me a message and am sure we can work something out to fit your budget. To any re-sellers lurking in the comment section, I will not be responding to anyone other than the original poster Also your wife can rest assured that everything is clean and stain-free.

Car boot sales. 2 for £20, just need a good clean Maxi cosi both

I got the Maxi Cosi version of the seat for cheaper on sale at Kohls. Cushions seem thicker / better quality.

I think babies just hates being in a car seat. We had the maxi cosi and LO cried in the car every time. It did get better once she became a toddler (in her extend2fit). We moved her in the extend2fit around 9 months and cried in it until maybe 18 months (when she started to be able to entertain herself in the car)

Maxi Cosi car seat with the adapters that fit in my pram - wouldn't have been without it! You have to remember that the baby car seat like the maxi Cosi one goes up to 9 months oldish. You will not be wanting to wake them to get them in and out of the car. They are also a lot easier to carry.

I have a maxi Cosi pushchair that I will be using again with this pregnancy. Is suitable from birth with both the main seat unit and the carrycot. Maxi Cosi car seat clips in. What is your main pram? Can you get anything extra to make it suitable from birth?

Could you look to buy something second hand so it doesn't matter if it gets broken? Like you said most lightweight travel stuff is from 6 months plus. How much time will they be in the pushchair? If its only for short amounts of time I would be inclined to just take the maxi Cosi car seat - both my kids slept better in their car seat than anything else!

We love our maxi cosi in our small Toyota. We got one that said it would fit well in a small car. We get a cheap one for my parents car and I HATE using it. It's so much harder to tighten the straps and my daughter doesn't seem as comfy. Now that she is 2yrs old the one in my parents car had to be turned around so she is front facing but she still fits so well rear facing in our maxi cosi. Definitely worth spending the money

Nuna rava has a door you close over the seatbelt after you thread it through that makes it so damn tight. I would avoid maxi cosi at all costs. I found it to be impossible to get a good fit with.

Also maxi cosi , cybex are good quality carseat that can fit lot prams I think there other . But they two we were looking at
