Maxi-Cosi Tayla Modular Stroller, Essential Graphite,

I love how light weight the Tayla is, our other stroller is so heavy and with all the baby gear it gets a lot when lugging it to and from car all the time. This stroller is so easy to collapse as well. My son hates when the sun is able to get in his eyes so the 360 shade protector is awesome!! was provided with product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions stated here are my own.

The Tayla Modular stroller is worth the hype! I have an 18-month-old who, when awake, wants to sit up and see the world, but quickly falls asleep on long walks. It's so nice to easily be able to adjust the recline of the seat while he's sitting in it. I'm also very impressed by the overall quality and look of the stroller. The fabric is durable and soft with a luxurious look and feel. There is great padding on the seats and straps. A feature I never would have known I NEEDED is the stiff structure of the buckle that goes between the child's legs. It stays put, stands firm and provides easy access… no more digging and searching for the buckle before your child escapes the stroller! The stroller is easy to fold and unfold with one hand. I have another very expensive name brand stroller that requires two hands to assemble, and I didn't realize how much I was struggling with it until I tried the Tayla Modular Stroller. In addition to the ease, this stroller is functional! The wheels are superior to other stroller wheels, as they make a tough terrain very simple to navigate. I do need to mention a few features I wish it had. First and foremost, the option to add a second seat or standing board because I have two toddlers. Lastly, the basket on the bottom has very low edges. The space between the basket and the seat is much larger than my other stroller, but the sides of the basket are so low that you can't fit very much in the basket. I would also love to see a tray with a cupholder for the baby. Overall, I was so pleased to test this product for the Stellar Product Testing Panel and would recommend it to my friends!

As a mom of two under five, I've tried my fair share of premium strollers. We have one for everything -- the one that fits easily in the car, the one for rough terrain, the one for around town, the one for walks in the neighborhood. The Maxi Cosi Tayla Modular Lightweight Stroller seems to fit the bill for most any occasion. While it weighs three pounds more than the stroller we've been using most frequently for the last few years, it folds and maneuvers more easily. I do prefer the rubber tires of my other strollers to the plastic wheels of this one, but so far the only issue has been that the plastic wheels are a bit louder than our others. The seat seems incredibly comfortable, and the harness is far superior to my other, more expensive stroller. The 360° MaxShade mesh privacy shade is a huge benefit, and again superior to my other favorite stroller. I'm sure I'll be using this one more and more as the weather warms up to protect my toddler from the sun on long walks. The cupholder is also a nice addition for this coffee-loving mom! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller!

The Tayla Modular Stroller is a dream. I really love the look as well as the quality materials and sturdy feel. The reversible seat and recline positions allows for a lot of versatility and the ability to grow well with the child. The seat itself is very comfortable and sits fairly high off the ground which gives the child a nice view as well as allows easy access to the large storage basket (huge perk)! The privacy canopy is pure genius and very unique to this stroller. The fold is easy and I appreciate that it stands on its own when folded. On the other hand, the unfold is quite tricky and even after some practice it still remains awkward. Overall my daughter loves it and I love it! The straps are easy to operate and she's all smiles while riding. My older kids are usually nearby begging for their turn. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

The Tayla modular stroller exceeded any and all expectations I had for a single seat stroller. You can tell by the detail put into the design that the manufacturer took into consideration comfort, convenience and aesthetics. My little one loved this stroller more than any other she had been in (three others!). The one handed fold was a dream come true, especially when toting it around with multiple kids. The design of the stroller is great for various terrains and weather, as the 360 shade protected from sun and wind. Thanks Stellar Testing Panel for the opportunity to try this stroller.

I was given this stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I could tell it was a premium product, w/ soft fabrics & nice looking leather accented handlebar/belly bar. I loved that it comes standard w/ a reversible seat liner, parent cupholder, rain cover & the canopy has a built-in-but-hidden-when-not-in-use mosquito net. Looking at the functional features of the stroller itself, I love that it has a self-standing 1-hand fold, the basket is easily accessible, the parking brake is flip-flop friendly (step on right to lock, step on left to unlock), the quiet peek-a-boo mesh window, reversible seating configuration & for my kids the most upright seat position is actually upright/not reclined. I also found that of all my strollers this has the seat highest up to the parent (bottom of seat ~23.5" above floor). Strolling around our neighborhood I found that the stroller pushed smoothly & absorbed most small road imperfections b/c of the 4-wheel suspension & I was able to maneuver the stroller easily w/ just 1 hand. My baby seemed to find it comfortable & when he fell asleep ~15 minutes after we went out I was able to easily recline his seat w/ 1 hand. Cons: I wish the canopy could be extended w/ a panel that unzips after fully extended (while the canopy was adequate while the seat is upright, I would have liked more coverage when the seat is reclined). The basket was also a bit small/shallow. The fold also takes some getting used to-even reading the instructions I had difficulty getting the stroller to unfold at first, it took several tries unfolding/folding the stroller to get used to but still seemed awkward (you have to step on the back of the basket to unfold, I'm only 5'2", the top of the basket when the stroller is folded hits me at mid-thigh). Also, I wish that the cupholder had something inside of it to hold bottles more securely. The fold is also rather large. Overall I feel it has a good mix of features for the weight/size of the stroller

The best part of the Tayla Modular Stroller is its size - it's a compact but still full-size stroller. We live in the city and this is a huge perk. Another equally important function is that it folds down easily and is SELF STANDING - it stands up nicely against the wall in our narrow hallway. My baby is 16 months and seems to still prefer facing in (toward me), but it's nice to have the option to face him out as he gets older. My baby loves the handlebar, and he will rest his head on it while we're strolling around. Personally, I think the stroller looks sleek and stylish, and I also love the leather handles (for me and baby). My only complaint about the stroller is that is doesn't maneuver as well or smoothly as I would prefer. We have some old, uneven sidewalks (unfortunately) and it definitely makes for a bumpy ride. I don't think it actually impacts my baby very much, but I do feel it as I'm pushing. It just means that I have to push a little harder to get around the uneven patches. Not a dealbreaker by any means and this is definitely not be an issue on smooth sidewalks or roads. Overall, I am happy and satisfied with the Tayla Modular Stroller because it fits out city needs, looks fantastic, and it has the ability to grow with us.

Before I go into detail, I want to thank Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the Maxi Cosi Tayla Modular Lightweight Stroller. Straight out of the box it took me about 10-15 minutes to put together (disclaimer: I normally leave that up to my husband). I am somewhat of a stroller snob and found myself impressed with the structure and style. The brown leather handle gave the stroller a more upscale look accompanied with the color scheme and material of the seat. Tayla is compact and well constructed. Both my 1 and 3 year old's loved the stroller and appeared to be comfortable in it. I have never seen a stroller with a built in mosquito/shade net, which is something I didn't think I needed until I had it. Even my kids loved riding around with the net down. Another built-in feature is the cup holder which can be moved to one side or the other. I wouldn't say it is the lightest stroller but definitely not overly bulky. The way it folds down makes it easy to pull using the handle and wheels. I did struggle with unfolding and collapsing. During unfolding I had a few moments where it wouldn't click in place on the first try and had to get a good push with my foot to prevent it from collapsing on me. I also can see how the stroller can collapse if you accidently push and hold the two buttons while adjusting the handle. Overall, this stroller has pros and cons but I would say the positive definitely outweigh the negative. You also can't go wrong with the extras that come with the stroller including the rain cover, car seat adapters and cup holder. I appreciate not having to purchase these items separately. Maxi Cosi Tayla Modular Lightweight Stroller gets a strong thumbs up!!!

This is a nice stroller, and I loved that it came with all the accessories included - a built-in privacy cover which will be wonderful to keep mosquitoes away, a rain shield, and a cup holder. The finishes are premium, and the seat was very comfortable for my child. It was very straightforward to assemble out of the box, and the seat attachment was very easy to use making it easy to switch the seat from forward facing to rear facing and vice versa. I loved the one foot lock-and-release pedals vs most stroller where you have to lock and unlock each wheel independently. However, I found it awkward and difficult to open and close. With some practice, I finally got used to closing it, but opening it remained a challenge. The same button is used to adjust the handle bar height as to open the stroller. I found myself with the handle bar fully extended and yet the stroller was only halfway open; I had to awkwardly bend over and push it the rest of the way open to get it to "click". With enough practice, I can probably master this but it is still challenging after a couple weeks. I also found it bulky when folded; it would take up a substantial portion of my SUV trunk, and more than my other stroller by another brand. I also could not fold it flat with the seat rear-facing. I had to either remove the seat or turn the seat around to have it fold flat. I also don't think the basket will be adequate if we use it for day-long excursions with a large diaper bag, and I didn't love the plastic wheels and would have preferred rubber wheels. I will use it for walks around our neighborhood so I can keep it open and in our garage, but I will sticking with our other stroller with a much easier open and close for in my car. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller.

​I love how stylish this stroller is. Tayla has the cutest color combo from the seat to the handle. The leather brown handlebar accents the black stroller and the grey seat pad just tops it all off. This is my sons' favorite stroller now. He points at it and wants to just sit in it, even when we're not going out. He feels super special in it. Tayla has few awesome features. The net that shields my son from bugs and debris is my all-time favorite. I'm able to tuck it back into the sunshade without having to have a separate attachment that I'll most likely forget at home when I need it the most. Also, I really like the fact that I can see him through the top of the seat. The 360 shade really makes me feel like he's protected from the sun's rays without blocking his view of the world. Almost forgot, the cup holder that it comes with is an extra perk that I do not have to come out of pocket for. I can't go without mentioning the cons that bugging me about this stroller. First, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open and close this stroller one-handedly. It is just not possible for me to do. It a two-step process on the stroller handlebar that I feel is a bit too much. Second, the seat buckle looks nice but can become annoying taking it on and off. It feels like I am back in the stone ages of strollers. Third, I kind of can't get over how cheap the material feels and how heavy the stroller rides. It's not a smooth pushing experience while walking. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for gifting me this Tayla stroller!
