Maxi-Cosi Maxi-Taxi Xt Ultra Compact Car Seat Caddy, Black

This is the greatest thing ever. I bought the car seat by itself just based in safety ratings and the overall look. I then realized it had a removable base and though I missed out on buying the "travel system". Turns out they sell the stroller by itself for morons just like me. The stroller is super sturdy feeling, incredibly stable, and so easy to use. It also folds up super small so it's great for smaller vehicles and actual traveling. I do wish that it came with a larger storage basket on the bottom although having such a small footprint when folded up is totally worth the smaller storage area. Definitely recommend if you didn't buy the travel system in the first place.

We use this with our maxi cosi luxe car seat. Super lightweight & easy to store in car. Unfolds easily & quickly. Love the cup holder for water or coffee so you can keep your hands free for pushing or if you need to check your phone. I’ve gone on half hour to hour long walks a few times a week & the stroller has held up well. We’re still using at 5 months!

Pairs great with the Clek carseat. Could be more sturdy but gets the job done. Very easy to put together and use, therefore, convenient.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Easy to fold and unfold. This was a life saver early postpartum as a c section mom. I also have rheumatoid arthritis so this continues to be a lifesaver as our baby reaches 6 months and I take her to appointments alone. It’s compact and is easy to bring into restaurants when baby was little. This has saved me from looking like a weak fool struggling with the full size stroller in the early days of postpartum recovery. We fit a reusable shopping back underneath with a chest carrier, baby bottle bag and hot water thermos, portable breast pump, and a muslin blanket. I often opt to use this over the full size stroller when going out for errands it’s just easier to handle and navigate. Only thing to note is that this isn’t going to be your stroller choice if you plan on shopping and hanging bags off the stroller as it’s lightweight. It also wouldn’t be ideal for outside/trails etc. Our apartment complex has some older sidewalks and baby definitely feels the bumps versus in her full size stroller.

Love that it is so lightweight and compact when folded up. This was a temporary option while we researched double strollers but it ended up being so much better than we imagined. It’s very sturdy and so easy to set up and take down. We were big fans of the price for what it is! Great value and quick solution!
