Maxi-Cosi Tayla Max Travel System, Onyx Wonder

Really great travel system and for such a great price! My favorite part about it the Tayla Max Travel System is that you can easily transform the stroller seat into a bassinet. No need for an additional attachment that you have to figure out where to store when your child has outgrown the bassinet. The material is extremely high quality and it has great shade for sun protection which has been extremely helpful. The car seat installation was a little tricky, but I really appreciate that you can make a virtual appointment- definitely gives me peace of mind for safety! I also like that you can use it with or without the base. A great option when traveling! I wish there was the same attachment for both the seat/bassinet and car seat, but they are small enough that it isn't a huge deal. HUGE THANKS to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for helping us get our hands on the Tayla Max Travel System!

I love this travel system! As a mom of 5, I have tried my fair share of strollers and car seats. Maxi Cosi is such a reliable brand and this Tayla travel system does not disappoint. I love the leather accents and its versatility is fantastic. I can easily switch from a traditional forward facing seat, to a rear facing seat, to a lay flat bassinet/carriage. I've only seen strollers that have a whole separate bassinet that you have to lug around and switch out, but this one seat does it all! It makes naps on the go a breeze. I also love that the infant car seat clicks on without lots of fumbling. If I'm just doing a short trip and don't want to take my baby out of her car seat, I can click it right on the stroller base. The fabric is super plush and cozy for my baby, and I love that the insert on the top is machine washable! The extendable canopy is another great feature, I love that it protects my baby when it's sunny and that she gets some shade when she's trying to sleep. I do wish the basket underneath was a bit bigger, but this isn't a deal breaker. I am thankful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving us this system to try!

Overall, I was extremely pleased by the quality upon opening the box. I purchased another competitive product a couple weeks prior, but after learning about the close similarities between the Maxi Cosi vs Comp, it was a no brainer. I saved nearly $600 by switching to Maxi Cosi. The only thing that is a slightly annoying is the stroller closing/opening mechanism. In order to open/close the stroller you have to slide a button + press down, then kick the stroller to the desired situation, which tends to me a bit hard at first. Got some practice at this point, but that's the only thing that's annoying. Don't forget to slide and press and hear for the click.

I had the pleasure of reviewing the Tayla 5 in 1 Travel system thanks to the Stellar Panel! Here are a few thoughts/opinions as a mom of a 3 month old and 3 year old toddler: 1. This stroller has the ability to grow with your child - dare I say it - more than any other brand I've seen/used. This is a newborn friendly stroller that can be used until the toddler phase. The Tayla travel system stroller is vastly different than any other travel system I've used in that the seat converts to an actual bassinet. 2. On my most recent walk with my 3 month old, he fell asleep while strolling. This is an absolute godsend for a mom with a colicky baby. 3. Holy cannoli - the Canopy Cover - is A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y amazing on the stroller and car seat. I love how it covers the baby up almost completely. 4. This is the perfect stroller for anything from your daily stroll on your city block to a trek in the woods (I've used this stroller on both terrain). It's a very smooth ride. 5. The adjustable handlebars are very helpful. 6. The stroller is very heavy duty. It's not quite lightweight, but very sturdy. 7. I love the little accessories - the cupholder is a nice touch. 8. Safety wise, the seat belt on the stroller feels very secure and easy to adjust. 9. The stroller is very easy to open and fold. 10. The car seat is very easy/very intuitive to install. However, if there are any issues I absolutely love that you can contact Maxi Cosi's customer support and they will assist you in the car seat installation. 11. My infant doesn't sweat in this car seat. I believe this car seat provides more airflow than his previous one - possibly because it's made with PureCosi fabric (Maxi Cosi's proprietary fabric). Overall, the built in capabilities for this car seat and stroller combo are incredible. It's easy to use, luxurious, and feels very safe. I can't wait to go on more strolls/walks with my little one(s). This travel system is fantastic and deserves 5 stars!

I really love this stroller and car seat combo! The stroller is so smooth during our walks and is also very cute. My little guy loves to hold on to the handle in front of his seat. The fabric is soft and he seems very comfortable during our walks. My favorite feature is the separate lock and unlock buttons on the bottom by the wheels. It is easy to unlock without having to use my toe to push a lever up. So convenient! We also love how we can adjust the length of the handle. I love having it be short while my tall husband enjoys being able to adjust it to his height. The car seat is easy to install in the car, is very soft and comfortable, and super cute! I also feel like my baby is very safe in this car seat. The only complain I have is that the seat belt isn't as smooth as I'd like when trying to tighten or loosen it. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
