Maxi-Cosi Mara XT Ultra Compact Stroller, Essential Black

This stroller is amazing!! It folds up small and is light! I like that it fit each of my children comfortably. My son is tall at 22 months and he was very comfortable in it. Even my daughter who is 3 and over 3 feet tall fit in there with room to spare. My favorite part was that it folded so easily. If you have a smaller trunk this stroller is a perfect fit.

My biggest complaint with travel strollers was that they are so cheap looking and despite being small not easy to fold but this stroller is neither. It looks so good! Well made and quality build. Its also so so so easy to fold. We have been travelling and didn't want to lug around our uppababy vista due to size so took this instead and it was so portable and easy to take this everywhere and fold it within seconds. The seat is comfortable and padded. The canopy is a good length too. The wheels are small so meant for smooth surfaces and not all terrain but I wasn't looking to take this on a hike anyway :)

I really like how compact and lightweight this stroller is when it's collapsed down. Very easy to move and store. It is easy to open with minimal effort for use. When fully opened it is still pretty compact so it's not bulky to push around. The wheels work great and are easy to maneuver. The comfort grip handles make it nice when you're using for long walks. The stroller itself is very nice quality and seems to be plenty comfortable enough. At least that was my impression when the kiddo fell asleep in it. The basket under the backside provides ample space for toys/snacks/diaper bag etc. The canopy isn't very big, but it does a good enough job keeping direct sun blocked.

The Maxi-Cosi Mara XT Ultra Compact Stroller is a great option for those times when you want a lightweight stroller or your vehicle is limited on space (think travel!), but you could use it any other time you will be taking your little one out. We have a couple strollers and they all fill specific needs and uses for my family. Personally, for extended use, unpaved ground, or running/walking, I prefer different stroller options. Our little one is 8.5 months and can safely sit/lay in the stroller. Our nearly 2 year old is able to use this as well, so when I only have one child with me, this stroller will be sufficient. Carseat adapters are included with the stroller, but I do not use this feature, so can only confirm that the adapters can easily be inserted and removed. For me, opening the stroller isn't a one-handed task, but folding it up is. A few of my favorites on this stroller: zipper storage (perfect for phone and keys and thin wallet), compact fold, large removable cup holder, adjustable recline padded seat, removable front wheels (for storage), large canopy with peek through flap, front swivel wheels (easy to maneuver, smoother ride), and it fits through doors with ease. There are two things I am not loving: the storage basket and handlebars. Now, this is not a full size stroller, so it is also unfair of me to hold these against the stroller, as I would not expect a compact stroller to have a large basket, nor adjustable handlebars. As the photo shows, my large diaper bag doesn't fit in here, so I had to grab a smaller backpack bag that I stock with only necessities. Overall, I am definitely satisfied with this compact stroller and recommend it to those in the market for one.

This stroller is simply Amazing! My son loves it. Quick and easy set that shows it was made for baby. Sturdy construction but yet super lite. All I can say is you are on the fence get this one as it will becombaby. new best traveling friend for baby..

We absolutely love this ultra compact stroller because I don't have to worry about having enough space for groceries/shopping etc because it folds up so small! Also, it's crazy easy to fold/unfold which is so nice for a busy mom like me that usually only has one free hand.

The Maxi-Cosi Mara XT Ultra Compact Stroller is a truly fantastic stroller. The stroller looks quite luxe and the seat is cozy for my son. I love the basket size and the comfortable handles. Most of all, I love how small it folds while still being a useable size when open. Highly recommend! My only critique would be that it could use a bigger storage pocket or something for holding keys/phone.

I have twins, so I am always looking for strollers that do two things: cut down on the amount of room they take up and are easy to open/maneuver with one hand. This one fits both of those requirements! It folds up compactly in order to fit in small spaces and I imagine it being perfect for apartment living where storage is minimal. To open it up, you just unclip one little clip while it is on the ground, pull up the handles and snap it into place. The same goes for breaking it down -- the push of one button and then fold it into place. My husband even said, "Woah! Look at that!" as I folded it down with a baby on my hip! I would definitely recommend this stroller to others, especially those looking for compact, but still with good handling. The basket underneath isn't huge, but that isn't expected in an umbrella stroller. It even comes with car seat adapters, so you'd be able to use this stroller from infant through toddler. The only thing that could make this stroller better is if I had a second one for the other twin! ;-)

I own a few strollers City Jogger, UPPAbaby G Luxe and GB Pockit. Compared to the city jogger this is super compact, but compared to the other two not so much. The basket is huge and there's a cupholder. The recline is great and the wheels can withstand uneven city sidewalks. When it comes to being portable it isn't as good as the uppa baby (has a convienent strap to carry) or the GB Pockit (takes up so little room). I look forward to using this more with baby #2

I bought this stroller after my daughter outgrew her Doona because it was an affordable price. But when I received it was so bulky and heavy, not easy to use at all. So I decided I wanted to return it and look into other ones, so I messaged customer support about doing a return and they said I have to wait over a week for the shipping label, plus 2-4 weeks to receive my money back! DO NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND AN EVERY DAY STROLLER!
