Versatile Baby Carrier Travel System
April 17, 2021
We received the Maxi-Cosi Tayla XP Travel System with Coral XP Infant Car Seat from Stellar Parent Panel to test and review. Right out of the box, we were stoked about all the cool features! The one that really caught my eye was the integrated car seat and carrier nesting system - from the car seat, you detach a lightweight carrier that can either be held with side handles or thrown over the shoulder with its cross-body strap. Our baby is 17-18 lbs and this has got to be, by far, the easiest way to transport a baby if you are not taking them out of the car seat. When you're ready to attach it back to the car seat or stroller, it snaps back in easily and securely. Another cool feature is the 360 degree sun shade - this stroller canopy covers the entire seat without causing baby to accumulate too much heat. Not only that, it doubles as protection against COVID when in public. Now about its weight and shape - it easily folds into a nice compact shape and can be unfolded with one hand. This system is quite easy to use and install - I just followed the guide on the car seat base and it was installed securely in 30 seconds. Easy peasy!! All in all, this travel system is definitely worth it. It looks sleek, is easy to configure and install, and is a must have when transporting a baby around and you don't have the time to unbuckle and re-buckle.

This system is life changing!
April 17, 2021
The Tayla XP Travel System with Coral XP Infant Car Seat arrived for free from the stellar parent panel for us to try out and review and we are loving it. The stroller is sleek and easy to use. You're able to connect the car seat or just the stroller seat to it. The stroller seat can face out or towards you and has a great recline for naps. My favorite feature has to be the built in net that is hidden within the canopy and covers the baby entirely. Living in Houston aka mosquito city this is life changing. My other babies would get terrible mosquito bikes and this net will keep my baby safe from bug bites and give her some privacy when she naps. I'm loving it even more now during this pandemic. She just feels safer covered up. A rain cover was also included and very much appreciated. The only downside to this stroller for me is that once it collapses it's still pretty big. Takes up more space in my suv than other strollers. Probably wouldn't be the best for big grocery hauls. The car seat is like nothing I've ever seen before. It is amazing! This is baby number four and lugging around a car seat has always been my least favorite thing to do. Being able to detach the seat from the shell and carry my baby easily from one place to another by the straps is so easy and so light. Then you combine the crossbody strap and you are hands free!! The strap locks in so securely, I have no doubt that she's safe in there. And she loves it! She's so comfortable and still close enough to be happy. The only downside being that the canopy stays connected to the shell and I would really prefer she be covered and protected from germs when out in public. We have a trip coming up and plan on using this car seat knowing that carrying her in it will be a breeze.

Fabulous Stroller
April 17, 2021
Like other Max Cosi products I've used and owned, the Tayla XP Travel stroller is nothing short of a luxurious, affordable, and user-friendly product. I love how it folds down flat, that Baby can face me or face out using the car seat or stroller seat, and rolls easily on multiple surfaces. (We tested it on grass, cement and gravel pathways.) It is light without sacrificing durability, or luxury features like the vegan leather handles. I love how high the handle bar extends for my 5'7" frame! I have NOTHING but positive things to say about the Tayla XP Travel System *stroller.* It was definitely designed carefully with parents and children in mind. However, I did have some concerns with the included car seat. This seat didn't live up to my expectations. The car seat was extremely heavy combined with the baby carrier. The carrier is almost impossible to remove from the car seat without 3 hands (you need to lift the carrier up, while also pressing two buttons simultaneously, to remove) which made it less then convenient to utilize when I was out alone. The cross body strap dug into my neck or shoulder and the seat was too heavy to use it across my body for more than short trips into a store, etc. My baby is only 12 pounds. I can't imagine using the cross body option when Baby is older and heavier. While the handles on the baby carrier offer a nice alternative to the cross body strap, I felt that my hands were right on the baby's face. I didn't feel safe using it, as I was worried about hitting Baby. One definite plus was that it can be used with or without a base. The removable carrier made it much easier to shop in stores as the carrier takes up much less room then the combined car seat, as well as transfer Baby into the house when Baby fell asleep. All in all, I do recommend this travel system. I was very fortunate that Steller Product Panel asked me to test it. We love Max Cosi products!

So versatile, works as great as it looks!
April 17, 2021
I received the Tayla system as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. To say I was excited when this showed up on my doorstep would be an understatement! I had come across the system in my research for our 5 month old baby girl before she was born and was blown away by the style and quality of the Tayla and the innovative features of the Coral car seat. From initial unboxing, I immediately noticed the quality of materials. It was very easy to assemble and learn how to work. The stroller frame is sturdy and has a luxurious leather on the telescoping handle. The wheels have a great shock absorption system, and the stroller seat is sleek, light, and well cushioned for babe. We took her on a walk right away and she loved it. Its easy to adjust the seat, to take the seat off and on and rotate orientation, to utilize the canopy and bug shield, and to operate the brakes and wheel locks. It has such a smooth ride, we were able to take her on a long walk on sidewalks, streets, and even on some grass near the lake in our neighborhood. We installed the car seat base in our car and it was hands down the easiest process of any car seat we've ever had. It is stable and feels very safe. I loved how the car seat itself was deep and offered a safe, secure spot for baby. At first I was concerned about the mechanics for the handle and strap being cumbersome, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The design of this seat is so impressive, and not a single detail was neglected. The inner carrier component is incredible. It is so light, easy to remove from the rest of the seat, and gives multiple options to carry. Being able to take the entire seat out or just remove the inner component is so nice. The versatility of the inner component itself is a favorite feature for sure. I love how you can hold it by the handles, across your arm like a nice handbag, or on the strap- which is SO comfortable. The bungee part of the strap makes it so that its always a smooth ride for baby, too.

Amazing!
April 17, 2021
I received this Tayla XP Travel System through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This travel system is by far the best I have ever used! I am using this on my third child and it makes me wish that I had something like this for my previous two kids. The car seat is amazing and has plenty of padding to keep my baby very comfortable and safe. The removable carrier is absolutely genius! I wish all car seats had this because I remember the struggle with my previous children of lugging them around in their bulky car seats. The Tayla car seat is pretty heavy, so the removable carrier is very practical for it. The base of the car seat is about average but the car seat profile is lower, giving me a few extra inches to move the driver seat back. The car seat easily clicks into the stroller making getting around with the baby convenient and simple. It took my husband and I a couple of tries to figure out how to open the stroller, but once you figure it out it is very easy every time after. I absolutely love this travel system and will be recommending it to every friend about to have a baby!

Innovative!
April 17, 2021
Thank you Stellar Testing Panel for the opportunity to try out the Tayla car seat! I always wondered if there was an innovative way to carry my baby in the car seat, other than by hand or heavily across my forearm... congrats Maxi Cosi! You guys did it. Haha. My favorite way was slung across my shoulder while I used my free hand to steady the seat while walking. My little one was happy and seemed content with his new carseat. The carseat was well made and designed nicely. I would definitely recommend this product!

Great Ride - Lots of features
April 17, 2021
Ultimately, I think this is a great travel system. The carseat is ultra soft, deep and comfortable for my 5 month old. He loves riding in the stroller because he sits up high and the canopy retracts so that he can see his surroundings. The stroller is easy to push, even my 70-year-old mom finds it easy to use on her daily walks with the baby. Some things that are different or worth noting about this specific system: It was easy to assemble - this would be good to know if baby already came and you are short on time/energy. It would also be great for a tiny newborn. We didn't use this system until my baby was 5 months old, so we didn't get to try out the newborn functions - but I could tell that it was much more snuggly than the system we had. So, if you have a smaller weight baby or one that is very slumpy in the beginning - I think the maxi-cosi will definitely give you peace of mind. The primary differentiating feature of this travel system is the insert that comes out of the carseat. I found it novel, but not necessary. Although this function allowed them to make the insert extremely light, I personally would never prefer to carry my baby in this way. I am 5'3,'' and it is very awkward - my 6' husband too couldn't really think of a use for this feature that simply taking the whole carseat out or using a baby carrier wouldn't work for. It is also really hard to detach the insert - my older mom can't do it on her own. Putting the insert back in however is a breeze. The other primary difference is that this carseat only goes rear facing to 22 lbs. This means that most babies will outgrow it around 6 months. I don't think the additional carrier feature would have made it tempting enough to ignore the 22 lb limitation. My favorite feature of this system is the fabric of all of the pieces. It is SO soft and snuggly. The stroller looks chic, and the baby is comfortable. Also the support leg of the carseat is truly game-changing in stability. Would highly recommend

Wonderful Travel system!
April 17, 2021
The Tayla XP travel system with the coral XP car seat is an absolute must-have item. I received this as a part of the Steller product testing panel and I couldn't be more thankful that I did. As a new mom, the product was very easy to figure out how to use and the functionality was more than I could ask for. Not only is this travel system stylish, but it's also very lightweight and the only hands-free type carrier I could find. I loved that I can remove the inner carrier and wear it as a cross-body option. This feature is super convenient when not wanting to wake my baby up but still need to remove him from the car seat. My baby seems to really love riding in it and he seems to be comfortable. We do a lot of traveling as a family and this travel system makes it really easy for us to live life on the go as we did before. Highly recommend!

A great travel system option!
April 17, 2021
I really love the Tayla XP Travel System that I received courtesy of the Stellar Review Panel. Here are some of my thoughts: Stroller Pros: - The materials feel high end and durable. - The stroller is pretty light, but the wheels and suspension did a great job on the slightly uneven pavement and gravel I tried it on! - The buckle is easy to use and adjust. - The storage basket isn't the largest I have seen, but is more than good enough to hold a few small bags. - My daughter loves sitting upright, and some other strollers' most upright settings often aren't upright enough for her: that wasn't a problem with the Tayla. She seemed comfortable in all of the positions I put her in. - The handlebar is easily adjustable and adjusts low enough for my liking. I'm not incredibly short (I'm 5'5"), but I feel as if other stroller handlebars often don't adjust to a comfortable position for me and I have to push in a higher-than-comfortable position. Stoller Cons: - While I mentioned that the suspension and wheels are pretty good for such a light stroller, I think that one trade off is that it doesn't feel sturdy enough to push over curbs without worrying that you'll get stuck. - The cup holder was finicky, and I felt like my daughter's cup was moving around within it, threatening to spill (but this is a really minor thing). Car seat pros: - I LOVE how narrow this car seat is compared to our other infant car seat. This is important when you have multiple car seats. - The materials are high quality and the buttons/buckles are intuitively placed and easy to use. - I love the removable carrier, and find that it was easy to take the baby out using that part of the car seat. - LATCH installation was easy. Car seat cons: - The only thing I didn't love about the car seat is the weight: I thought the Coral was slightly heavier than a lot of the other infant car seats I've used (but maybe this isn't a huge factor if you're using the removable carrier most of the time.

Luxury travel system
April 17, 2021
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This is a beautiful, functional, well designed travel system that is worth the price tag. I'll start with the stroller: it's sleek, compact but still spacious, handles beautifully, and comes with many bells and whistles that are sold separately by other stroller brands (ex: cup holder, sunshade, rain cover). Our little guy is still young (4 months) so I like that I'm able to have him seated facing us for now, but that eventually I'll be able to orient the seat facing out. I loved the sunshade being zippered into the canopy- no risk of misplacing or forgetting it. I love how compactly it folds up and that I can unfold it with one hand (key when you're juggling a baby!). The design elements are very luxe and rival strollers that cost hundreds more. I haven't had to clean any part of it yet, but the materials all seem like they would be very easy to clean. The only two aspects I'd change is the amount of sun the shade blocked (it still lets in a considerable amount of light) and the somewhat shallow sides on the undercarriage basket. The car seat: the seat itself is very good, it ticks all the safety boxes, was no more challenging to install than any other seat, and my little one seemed very comfortable in it. The lift out carrier is a very interesting concept; I like how lightweight it is and that it's not bulky. However, I think I still need a little more practice with it before I feel completely comfortable carrying my little one in it for any extended period. This is possibly due to the fact that I'm very petite. The fabric strap took a bit of getting used to, but did make it possible to hold the seat closer to my body. The great thing about purchasing a stroller and car seat together as a system is that you're able to seamlessly transfer the baby from the car to the stroller without getting him out of his seat (especially great if he's sleeping!). Overall, this is a great travel system!

Amazing Travel System
April 17, 2021
This is one amazing travel system! One of the best parts of it is its functionality. It is easy to open and close the stroller, it is easy to remove the inner shell to carry baby in (other than a huge car seat), and the bottom storage compartment holds a ton! My favorite feature of the stroller is the removable inner carrier for the car seat. Infant car seats are always heavy and clunky. This car seat carrier is light and easy to maneuver. We also love the look of the stroller. The blend of brown and black gives it a sleek yet modern look and feel. All of the fabrics are smooth and light weight. Everything was very breathable against my baby who typically does a lot of sweating. Our new baby girl loved riding in this car seat. She always seemed very comfortable both in the car and in the stroller. We also tried the bigger seat with our older son who also rode in it quite nicely. I was able to baby wear our infant, while our 18 month old rode in the stroller. This stroller offers a lot of versatility and options. One of my favorite features is the full length sunshade. It completely blocked the sun from getting in our kid's eyes and I know it will be great in the summer when mosquitoes are out and about! I would like to thank the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us the opportunity to try this stroller system.

Came broken
April 17, 2021
I received this from stellar product testing panel. This is very chic and looks fabulous, we loved the car seat and it was so easy to use with the stroller. The upsetting thing was the strap that goes in-between the legs of my kid for the regular seat for the stroller came detached and we have no idea if it was supposed to or not. We were not able to fix it 😢 so this stroller is kinda worthless unless someone can help us!

Amazing travel system!
April 17, 2021
I received this product through Stellar Product Testing. We currently have 3 kids under the age of 5, our third being just three moths old. We have have been through our own travel systems before, but this one has moved to the top of the list, and the travel system I go to the most! This travel system is sleek, slender, and amazing all around. The functionality of this system is one of a kind. The travel system is light weight and easy to use. The stroller is very comfortable so long naps are very easy to attain in the stroller. My husband is pretty tall, over 6'6 and he loves the long handle bar. My 5 year old also loves to push baby brother in the stroller and is easily able to with the way the bar moves up and down. The absolute best part of this travel system is the truly the carseat. Carseats are usually big and bulky and this one is truly one of a kind. We loved having the ability of just using the insert which is only 5 pounds! We have a big baby and the ability to not break my back carrying the carseat is amazing! I gave this travel system 5 stars! I will tell you however, when I was using the stroller system it took me a couple of times to get the stroller from open to close and close to open. But once you get the hang of it, it becomes so easy. We truly love this travel system and it will be used and loved for years to come.

Flexible, luxury and affordable!
April 17, 2021
I love this entire travel system! I am on the go all the time and most often by myself, this system is easy to manage by myself and most are not. I love the inner liner component of the car seat! I cannot say enough about the convenience factor, it is so light, the handles are easy to use and the fabrics and finishes really make it feel premium. Our little girl loves it! My only issue was that there is a learning curve in the removal of the inner liner while the base shell is still in the vehicle, it took me about 2 weeks to really get the hang of it. The stroller is so light and easy to load in the car compared to many others on the market. It doesn't do the best in gravel or snow but I am yet to find a stroller that excels there. I will definitely be recommending this entire system to any new parents! Thank you to Stellar Product Testing for providing this system to us!

We loved it! Just wish the car seat had a higher weight limi
April 16, 2021
OK, we received this as part of the Stellar Review Panel when our baby was around 4.5 months old. So by that point we had a different stroller and car seat combo from a very "insta" popular brand. I love our first stroller, but this stroller makes me second guess my loyalty to our first one. And yes, this is a travel system so the car seat is part of it, but I'll get to that later. The Stroller: I love the design! The shade is well designed and aesthetically pleasing and the black color is beautiful. The most used feature of this stroller with the toddler seat installed for us is the privacy screen that you can zipper out of the sun shade. We LOVE it. The screen is dark enough that you can see in while pushing the stroller, but from a distance it's a little harder to peek in. Plus, it keeps the bugs away! I do wish the basket was a little bigger, but honestly I would just throw a bunch of unnecessary things in there if it was! I also wish the drink holder supported larger water bottles better. I usually drag around a larger water bottle with me and this one makes it wobble a bit in the holder. Which isn't a big deal since we use our stroller organizer cup holders instead. As far as the car seat, I love the innovative ideas! The inner seat is such a great idea! I am 5'7 and, well, my arms are weak noodles.. so carrying around our other car seat with our baby gets a little tough. This car seat is lighter than our other one, which is honestly a big deal. I remember thinking a pound or two was no biggie but oh man, it adds up. It took me awhile to get the shoulder strap carrier down and adjust to holding my baby that way but she didn't seem to mind and it really was a nice switch up, same as the other hand straps. The only downside to it was that the weight limit was lower than our other car seat, so a baby can't use it as long before they need to transition to a different car seat. Overall, while I originally felt that loyalty to my old stroller both my husband

I love this sleek, easy-to-use travel system!!
April 16, 2021
I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I actually already have a different travel system, which I didn't think could be topped, and I gave this one to my daughter's father so that he would have one of his own. To be honest, I am so upset that I don't get to have this travel system as my own! The car seat is so light weight and the fabric is so nice, the stroller is sleek and lightweight as well. I love that the vegan leather handle bars come standard. It is extremely functional. His favorite configuration to use for ease and convenience is snapping the infant car seat into the stroller. My daughter definitely enjoys riding in this travel system! A favorite feature is how the car seat has those special straps that you can lift it with!

Far exceeds carrying other car seats!
April 16, 2021
Pros: -Car seat: This car seat is amazing. The stroller is really nice, too, but WOW this car seat is exceptional. It separates into 3 parts: base (which stays in the car), a carrier bar like most car seats, and a third section you can remove to carry the baby using a crossbody strap or fabric handle straps. This third option still has a solid base and is very sturdy, but weighs MUCH less and is WAY easier to carry than most car seats. The strap is also the most comfortable strap I've ever used. This is no gym bag strap. It' stretchy to give just the right length based on how heavy the baby is, well padded, and easy to adjust. -Canopy: The stroller has a large drop down canopy and also a see-through shade that can stretch past the child's feet which is SO important on a stroller. -Rain cover: It also comes with decent rain cover (great for blocking cold, wind, and covid, too!) so that's one less item to purchase! -Stroller is slim and very nice for maneuvering through tight spaces (which you have to do a surprising amount with a stroller!). Would be great for airport travel. -25lb storage basket is rare! -Car seat and stroller straps are easy to buckle and very easy to adjust! Saves a lot of headaches. Cons: -It doesn't fold up as compactly when the stroller seat is facing you, so I have to flip the stroller seat around to get the stroller more flat for transport. -The cup holder is minimal and doesn't offer much versatility. I end up tossing my phone, keys, etc. in the bottom storage basket while we walk. I hit the cup holder on things because it sticks out. -Stroller full shade zippers into a pocket which is terribly difficult to zip. That part's not easy to use. -Wheels: Poor shock absorption; the plastic wheels ARE a smooth ride, but they don't absorb impact like a jogging stroller's air-filled tires. Probably as good as plastic wheels will get. I received this item in exchange for an honest review, however this is my unfiltered, critical opinion.

Tons of Options - Smooth Ride!
April 16, 2021
I love this travel system! The first thing I noticed about the Tayla XP is how incredibly smooth the ride is. As a mom of a 2.5 year old and 3 month old, walks are part of our daily life, so I appreciate being able to glide over the bumps and cracks in sidewalks and paths. I'm looking forward to trying out the nesting carrier and shoulder strap more in warmer weather; a clutch feature that sets Tayla apart from other options. My toddler generally prefers to run, but I appreciate that the stroller has four reclining options and the 360 MaxShade. Naps can be hard to come by for a boy on the move, and I feel better knowing the privacy shade protects him from the sun and other distractions. Plus, the Tayla is sleek, stylish, and timeless, blending in with any aesthetic. The only negative I have is the cup holder. It's awkwardly placed, making it difficult not to bang into doorways as I go through them. All in all, I would absolutely recommend the Tayla XP Travel System to my friends. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this travel system to test out!

A Baby's Chariot
April 16, 2021
We were lucky enough to receive this travel system as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We refer to it as our daughter's chariot because of its smooth ride and sleek design. The leather handle bar and ample storage basket are luxurious amenities for an a suburban mom like myself. I love how light the stroller frame is, and I also appreciate how high the car seat sits on the frame. It's also important to note that the car seat base was the easiest installation I've ever experienced. The ability to remove the inner car seat and attach it to a strap has been very helpful with my bad back. We will definitely keep using this travel system!

Amazing
April 16, 2021
I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. From the moment you take the stroller out of the box you can tell it's made with great quality. We put it together and our baby girl was giggling and shortly after fell asleep so I'd say it's a great sign she loves it!! The ride is extremely smooth and easy to navigate with one hand. The seat is nice and plush, it sits deeper than most other strollers we've used or had which we love. The handle is wrapped in a nice leathe and makes the stroller look that much more luxe. I absolutely love the built in bug shield as it isn't something I have to remember to throw in the stroller especially because our kids get eaten alive in the warmer months. The basket is a little small to fit with our large diaper bag but we make it worth since it's a backpack. The car seat is amazing. I'm a small person (108lbs) so when our babies start gaining weight, it gets hard for me to carry the car seat places. This car seat is fantastic because I can carry it across my body and it makes it easier for me to manage our other two kids especially when crossing streets. It's no surprise that the car seat is also made with soft plush fabrics. This travel system just screams luxury. I would highly recommend this to anyone in the market.

Wonderful travel system!
April 16, 2021
I received the Maxi Cosi Tayla XP Travel System as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I have used 3 other travel systems (car seat, base, stroller caddy, and stroller seat) and this is by far my favorite! The system comes in a very large box but it very easy to put together and I barely had to reference the instructions. The base was one of the easiest I have ever installed into my car. I used the anchor straps to clip into my car's frame and then instead having to pull to get it to be as secure as possible, you just press down on the blue lever and it tightens the straps. There is also a leg that come down from the base to the floor of your car for extra security. The car seat is really nice and has this amazing feature where you can take out the inside insert of the car seat and carry it around on your shoulder. The shoulder strap is really neat and is like a bungee which makes it very comfortable. I've never seen this feature before and I think it's genius for when you just need to run into somewhere and don't want to lug around a heavy car seat. The stroller caddy part is nice, great functions and nice materials. It takes some getting used to closing and opening it, but you can do it with one hand as opposed to others I've used there you need both hands. It can stand up when you fold it which is nice for storage purposes. My only change is that I wish the basket underneath was bigger. All in all, this is a great travel system - very safe and nice bells and whistles. I would highly recommend it!

Created with Parents in Mind
April 16, 2021
I received this travel system through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Tayla was extremely easy to assemble in minutes. It was clearly made by a team that really tried to make traveling easier for parents. One of my favorite features of this travel system is how flat it folds compared to others. The stroller doesn't completely take up your trunk area, which is usually a big issue. It is easy to take out and open with baby in hand and closes with the same button that it opens with, which is a huge plus in my book because my husband always gets confused when there are too many latches and buttons. I really liked the ability to remove the infant carrier from the shell. It made quick store runs more convenient than having to lug around the whole car seat. Clipping in and out of the shell isn't the easiest, so it's a bit challenging. My little guy enjoys the smooth ride, especially the reversible cooling stroller insert since we live in Texas. The large stroller shade is also a huge plus! The extendable shade is nice too, but takes 2 hands and 1-2 minutes to put away. I imagine it doubles as mosquito protection too! The 2 things that would make me love the system even more are a bigger infant carrier canopy/shade and a larger stroller basket. The stroller basket is pretty limited and if you have a large diaper bag, there's not much room for anything else.

Versatile & Luxe
April 16, 2021
The Tayla XP stroller system is everything I didn't know I needed! They've truly thought of everything with this stroller & Coral XP infant car seat combo. First off, the assembly of this stroller system was extremely simple and my husband was able to put it all together in a matter of minutes. The car seat base was also very convenient and easy to install. I love the added support leg providing additional stability, that car seat is not going ANYWHERE. I love the fabric throughout the car seat and toddler seat it is extremely breathable material and practical for cleaning. My 3 month old looks SO cozy when riding in this car seat. I also love the look and feel of the brown leather details on the handle bars. The adjustable handle bar and one hand-easy collapsing features have gone from "added-bonus"become "must-haves" for us. We LOVE the over shoulder feature for the Coral XP it makes transport from car to anywhere so simple and light weight. My husband loves using the shoulder strap and I prefer using the handles. Both methods are so useful. The simple click in and out of the inner seat is extremely user friendly and most importantly safe! I noticed a few reviews mentioned noisy wheels but I found the stroller to be very quiet and a smooth ride. My ONE complaint would be that the sun shade on the infant seat doesn't come down far enough to block the sun from baby's face as efficiently as I'd hoped. Can't wait to grow with this stroller system and am looking forward to using the toddler seat that comes with the 360-shade. Overall, we LOVE this stroller system and will be recommending it to all my friends! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this amazing stroller system to test out!

Revolutionary car seat!
April 16, 2021
I love this travel system!! The stroller is extremely smooth and fairly easy to open and close with "one hand" (it takes a little getting used to) and my two year old is very comfortable in the rumble seat. The basket underneath holds a decent amount of stuff and I love that the stroller comes with a cup holder. The thing that I love most about this system is the infant car seat. The base is super easy to put in - it has indicators that show red if it's too loose and green when you have it locked in tight and there's no belt to tighten manually, the straps want to tighten back into the base themselves (like a seatbelt in a crash) so I feel like it's the most secure car seat we've ever had. The infant car seat itself has an inner, super lightweight, removable seat with handles so you can just take that and your baby out of the car instead of the rest of the seat! I can't get over how much I love that feature and I show it off to anyone who seems even slightly interested! You can remove it by pushing a button with one hand and although it was initially a little difficult to remove in the beginning, it definitely loosens up with use. My only complaint is that the hood is on the part that can stay in your car so if it's raining, snowing, or windy, you can't pull the hood over the baby or put on a cover to protect them. I haven't found use for the messenger strap yet but it seems like a cool feature. I do wish the stroller could be a double stroller and if so, I would recommend this whole system to anyone and everyone. I love maxi-cosi products and this travel system has the expensive look and feel without sacrificing safety that I love in all of their other products that we own. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to test this innovative product that I have already recommended to my pregnant friends and friends with newborns!

Versatile, Comfortable and High-End
April 16, 2021
Maxi Cosi Taylar XP stroller is pure perfection... I can sing it praises nonstop - I am so much in love with the set. We've been using it for two weeks now and I have so many good things to say about this set. I hope my review will help other parents who are in the market for a travel system. My favorite features are: 1) Convertible and Reversible: When buying baby gear, we always look for multi-use products that grow with the child. This travel system can be used for babies and all the way up to 5-year old kids. It has four recline positions and your can fix the footrest up in three different positions to add comfort for the baby. You can have it either face forward or flip around to face parent. 2) Folding and unfolding is a breeze! You can fold it over all the way with just one hand - super easy! 3) Lightweight and compact: Believe me this stroller glides smoothly on bumpy sidewalks, gravel or grass and my sleeping baby does not even feel it. 4) Great wheel suspension to absorb bumps along the way and sturdy frame. 5) The stroller is made of luxe quality materials: high-end seat fabric, leather handlebar and arm bar, padded straps, extendable canopy, mesh hidden screen, removable arm bar, large basket, a little peekaboo window to check on your baby. 6) MaxShade extendable canopy is my favorite feature! It is so cool - you can pull down a hidden screen to cover the entire seat, so your baby has some privacy and, of cause, be protected from sun and bugs. On top of all the great features - the functionality, practicality, high quality and sleek design, this travel system comes with the Coral XP Infant Car Seat. This is a new 3-piece nesting system to prove every mom with a more comfortable and lightweight carry. I can carry my baby holding the top bar as any standard car seat. OR I can carry my baby using just the inner liner by holding two straps or by putting the cross-body strap over my shoulder. Using a lightweight inner liner frees up a second hand so I can h

So easy and convenient
April 16, 2021
Okay, I was skeptical at first but this travel system seriously does it all. I am notoriously slow at putting things together and this took me just a few minutes to do. I have a 6.5 month old who just learn to sit up but after some time needs a little support. The stroller seat securely holds her in place, while letting her look around. I love how easy it is to adjust the recline position or switch the direction she's facing. In fact, on many neighborhood walks I'll switch the direction mid-walk in just a few seconds. Now for the car seat! Again so easy and intuitive to install. Now that my daughter is a little bit old this this a life saver. It is very lightweight and easy to carry her with the inner shell & strap. The car seat and stroller both fit really well in my car (Mazda 3) making things even easier. Plus's the stroller has a cup holder that will fit almost anything! I could go on and On about this travel system. I received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

I love the details in this system!
April 15, 2021
I am so impressed by this travel system. I love how easy it was to put the stroller together- seriously, the color coordination of the parts and the clear instructions made this so quick and easy to get set up. Out of all the baby gear we have put together so far, this system was by far the most fool proof. This car seat is so cool- I love the inner carrier system, what a genius idea. When I received this item, I thought I would never use the inner carrier system because my baby is already 15 lbs, but once I tried it out, I'm completely sold on it. It doesn't feel too heavy to manage at all, and is so much more convenient to use than getting out the stroller or carrying a whole car seat when taking baby in to doctors appointments, etc. The stroller is my favorite part of the system, however, due to the privacy screen that creates a little more shade for him, while still letting the breeze through. Secondly, the ability to click the stroller's seat out and turn it around (without needing the help of another adult) is a game changer for me. This lets me turn him around based on where the sun is shining, so I can keep the sun off of his delicate skin as much as possible. Here are my only (mild) criticisms of the system- 1) I had a difficult time figuring out how to open the stroller one handed. The diagram explaining where to put your foot could be a little bigger to show that the storage basket frame they are referring to is under the storage basket, not on the upper back edge of the basket (which is where I kept trying to put my foot). 2) I wish there was a compartment on the stroller to store the car seat adapters so I always have them with the stroller. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending this to me to test out. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend this system.

Innovative and Luxurious
April 15, 2021
This is a very nice travel system. It has so many great features with a sturdy construction. The stroller was easy to assemble and folding/unfolding it is a breeze. The leather feature on the handle was a nice touch and gave it a luxurious feel. The carseat itself was easy to install. My favorite part of the carseat is the removable inner carrier. It has been useful carrying my baby with the shoulder strap while trying to wrangle my two toddlers. The fabric on the carseat feels so soft and plush; keeping my baby nice and comfortable. I really appreciate that the fabric is made from treatment-free materials also. So I have the peace of mind that my baby isn't exposed to harmful chemicals. Some negatives for me was the overall weight of the carseat without my baby in it. It seemed quite heavy and big, as if I was carrying the carseat and base together. The canopy on the carseat could come down a little more. I had to use a blanket to shield the sunlight shining on my baby's face. Another negative for me was how very bumpy it felt while pushing my baby on the stroller. We mostly walked on sidewalks and streets but it felt like I was pushing my baby on cobblestone. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

Innovative design, luxury features
April 15, 2021
I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I am thrilled with it! The Tayla XP travel system was truly designed with little ones and their busy parents in mind. The stroller and infant car seat both have luxury touches that make them sleek and stylish. But above all, I appreciate the many features that make this system so functional and ... easy! The flexibility of both products and the multiple configurations makes the travel system so versatile. The super easy, one hand fold and unfold and the ability to attach the car seat directly to the stroller make it the greatest when you're on the go. I also love that the stroller is light and has a smooth and super maneuverable ride. My 7-month-old loves the cozy ride, and I love the one-hand recline that makes it easy to find the perfect position for her. My 2-year-old's favorite part is the XL privacy shade - so cool! My only complaint about the stroller is about the cup holder - I've never lost a beverage out of it, but it's not a super secure fit either. When it comes to the Coral XP car seat, I love the easy (there's that word again!) and secure install. I especially loved the green tightness indicators so I knew it was installed correctly and the stability leg. I feel very comfortable with the safety features of this car seat. Finally, I was blown away by the nesting system. How was this not invented 50 years ago?! It's so genius! I am usually not a manual person, but was sure to read the instructions on how to properly remove and resecure the inner carrier. Once I practiced a few times, it was like second nature. The inner carrier really is so much lighter than the giant, awkward car seats we're used to lugging around, and it makes errands with a baby and a toddler that much easier. I have been sharing this travel system as a must have for all my mom and dad friends!

Functional, stylish, and a must-have for moms
April 15, 2021
It is just stunning to look at. I admit, I'm a bit of a stroller snob and have historically invested in higher-end strollers (not only for the functions, but also for the look). If you are trying to keep up with the Jones, this is the stroller for you. The buttery leather bumper bar and parent handle scream sophistication, yet are somehow very comfortable and baby friendly (we've had gummy teething crackers and spit up to clean and it wipes away smoothly and without strain). The large cargo basket at the bottom of the stroller is incredible and totes not only my heavy mom bag, but my older boys' coats, soccer balls, picnic blanket, packed lunches and water bottles with room to spare. It doesn't sag or hang low like one of our other strollers carry baskets and I don't foresee any issues on snagging or fading...it seems like a very outdoorsy-friendly fabric. On the topic of fabric, I am uber impressed by the reversible seat pillow which seems to have a cooling and a heating side, depending on the weather and your child's comfort. I love the way the mesh (cool) side looks and my daughter seems very comfortable with this option....we haven't really tested out the other side yet but it's nice to know we have the option to hide stains! So much more to say but limited room -- smooth ride, so many recline and seat orientations, amazing removeable inner carrier, soft handle on carseat shell, incredible pull down full body sunshade, awesome cup holder stability and placement, etc. Thanks to the generosity of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was gifted this stroller travel system to try at no cost to me.

Really nice modular stroller!
April 15, 2021
I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I loved a lot of things about this travel system and its functionality, but there were also a few things that frustrated me a bit about it. To provide some context upfront, I'm a first-time-mom (i.e., not very experienced with strollers!), and my baby hasn't arrived yet, so I've only been able to set the stroller up and test it out around the house thus far. What I especially loved: the materials used for the car seat seem very high-quality and soft/comfortable for a newborn, and I appreciate the convenience and utility of this travel system. Things that frustrated me: I struggled with some aspects of setting this stroller up and wasn't able to get it to turn well for some reason. Overall, I think this is a really nice travel system that I'm very excited to use with my newborn as soon as she arrives.

Excellent Travel System for Any Situation
April 15, 2021
We received the Tayla XP Travel System with Coral XP Infant Car Seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel and we highly recommend this stroller system. If you want a stroller with all the bells and whistles this is the travel system to get. From the leather handles, rain cover, cup holder, canopy, shock absorbing wheels, ample storage bin, warm/cold weather seat pad, privacy shade, raised foot rests, and easy to install infant car seat, this travel system is phenomenal. It took about 10 minutes to assemble and the directions were clear with both visuals and words to describe what to do. The infant car seat had a separate set of instructions that were also easy to read and follow. The car seat uses a LATCH system, which we find preferable to just using the seat belt. In addition, the base was well labeled and easy to install. Our daughter is approximately 12 pounds and we really liked the ability to use the inner carrier to transport her. The carrier is light and the crossbody strap made it easy to carry her short/medium distances. It also has handles that you can carry like a grocery sack, which were also sturdy and functional. The inner carrier is an awesome concept and I cannot say enough good things about it. Another cool feature is the privacy shade. We could have it up and not worry about our daughter being exposed to COVID or other germs, which was reassuring during these tense times. The stroller itself is well-constructed and thoughtfully designed. It is on the large side and would take up the majority of trunk space in a sedan, but fits well in our SUV. It was easy to fold up, it is just large. Besides its large size, which really isn't an issue if you drive an SUV, we do not have any criticisms with this stroller system. It is great and we highly recommend.

Great for C-Secrtion mamas!
April 15, 2021
I was super excited when I saw that the Maxi Cosi coral Car seat that came with this travel system had a removable inner seat. I am a second time mom and had a c-section with both of my babies. With my first baby, this car seat wasn't on the market yet and so we had a different model (but same brand!) and I absolutely needed my husband to carry the car seat for the first few weeks after the surgery. It was just too heavy and put too much strain on me. With my second, a planned c-section, we were able to use the Coral and I couldn't be happier. Since you can take the inner seat out of the 'shell' it is much lighter and the strap that attaches so you can wear it crossbody really helps to even out the weight of the car seat so you're not leaning to one side trying to carry it. That being said, it did take me a few tries to practice getting the inner carrier out of the shell. It's nice that there's a button on either side and conveniently you only have to push in one - not both buttons! But you definitely have to push it in pretty hard to release it and I struggled at first. I also loved the fact that the button which loosens the shoulder straps is very accessible and close to the front of the seat. We've tried other car seats where the button is so far back it was literally impossible for me to reach. I also want to note that this travel system came with a 'quick start guide' which I thought was super helpful versus flipping through pages and pages of the full manual just to get it installed (although it comes with the full manual too!). The car seat integrates seamlessly with the Tayla stroller since adapters are included. With the included adapters though, you have to use the full car seat and not just the inner shell. It would be super awesome if you could attach just the inner carrier to the stroller. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me this travel system in exchange for my honest review!

Tayla XP Travel System with Coral XP Infant Car Seat
April 15, 2021
This Travel System is amazing! The design is minimalist and very elegant. The Coral Infant Seat is very luxurious, well-padded and soft. The seat is well constructed, cozy and lightweight! Easy to lift and carry around when needed as the inner carrier can be detached to use when running errands. You can use the built-in handles or slip the crossbody strap around your shoulder and walk around with your baby hands-free. The Stroller is well made and sturdy and I like that it is reversible; my baby can either face me or look out at the world around him. It easily reclines back and can be used sitting-up as well. I just lean it back when my little one is sleepy or adjust upright when he is feeling curious and wants to explore and enjoy his surroundings. I live in a Suburban subdivision with lots of open space, trails and parks and we are out a lot. The all-wheel suspension with "smooth Ride" tire technology gives it a nice ride, keeping bumps and humps unnoticed. The handles are adjustable, which works for my height and the leather on the handle adds a nice touch. The storage/ basket is very spacious and could fit a diaper bag, blankets and other items that I find taking with me since there is so much space! Easy to get to, very accessible. The extendable mesh is nice to have; you can pull it down to fully cover your little one to keep cozy. I can see it working for insects & bugs, but I wish it were made of thicker material so it could protect more against the sun. Not a deal breaker, but it is also hard to zip the mesh back when not in use. Another feature that I like is the bumper bar. I use it to attach fun toys to the stroller to keep my baby entertained. It also gives him something to hold onto which keeps him safe when we go for walks. I highly recommend! It is style, comfort and safety in one great product. I could see us using this for a very long time. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

Amazing travel system
April 15, 2021
I have received this product through Stellar Product Testing Panel. Havingnfew kids in the family, we went through many travel system products. This stroller comes out to be our favorite for few reasons. First, I really love that stroller can be folded and unfolded with one hand. No awkward sruggling on a parking lot. Our two year old really enjoys riding in it, and we can switch him from front facing to parent facing anytime we want. As we are transitioning from cold weather to some very warm day, i am happy that the stroller has a reversable cushin, for warmer weather its mesh and for colder days we can switch back to knit. Another of our favorite parts is adjustable handle, my husband is very tall, and i am very short, and it was always a struggle to find a stroller that is short enough for me and tall enough for him. This stroller has 4 different positions, and it works perfect for us. With carseat, we love the never before seens crossbody carry. It is very light that way, and makes it possible for walking around with baby in the carseat for long periods of time. Also it is really nice that the carseat can be used without the base, very convinient when needing that for uber/lyft rides. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this amazing travel system, it will be loved for many years to come!

Amazing system, amazing versatility
April 15, 2021
So much thought and intention went into the design that my only real frustration was that I didn't have it with my first kiddo too. The car seat brings the whole industry into the 2020s. There's so many different ways to use the car seat alone that my wife's back is upset we didn't have the lightweight removable carrier and cross body sooner. What an ingenious idea! Neither of our children have been small babies, and she is a small person, lugging around the full size carseat was torture, but she can grab up the shell and carry all around without having to get the LO out. Truly a game changer. This is also the first carseat base that she felt comfortable installing all on her own. Directions printed on it, and doesn't take hulk strength to secure it. I wish it self tightened a little more for my personal likes, but just a tiny bit more finagling and it's perfect. The stroller, just wow. Lightweight, smooth ride, and everything can be adjusted with one hand (and sometimes a foot). Being able to easily flip the seat from parent facing to world facing is great! The carseat, or just under insert pop right in. Overall just the ease of use, the comfort, and the easily adjustable recline of the seat, make this stroller amazing. The only updates that would make it totally perfect would be a slightly bigger sunshade and the privacy sunscreen you can deploy is awesome, but the zipper to store it back away is a little cumbersome. We typically just filled out back over the top of the shade to quickly get it out of the way. I received this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I simply wish I had of known how much better a system like this was. Our previous ~$600 system looks like it's stuck two decades ago compared to this system.

LUXE but misses some marks
April 15, 2021
I have a 3 month old and an almost 3 year old so I was excited to try it for both of them. While this stroller was good for my infant, it did not work for my toddler at all. He is above average for height and was just so crunched up. His legs literally hung off of the stroller. With that being said, I do love the stroller for an infant/baby. First off, it screams luxe right out of the box. The leather wrapped handle is exactly what gives it that WOW factor. It feels good in your hands and looks stylish. I love the adjustable handle and the one handed, easy to recline seat. This is a quick lift and tilt - easy peasy! The seat can also face forward or backwards which is very practical, especially for a rowdy toddler. I think one of my favorite features is the fact that the seat is removable so if you only have an infant carrier, you don't have to worry about the seat attachment. This makes the stroller lighter and easier to fold. However, if you need both the seat and the car seat, you need two attachments and that could be an issue to keep up with. One of the biggest cons, that should actually be a pro, is the sunshade. The stroller has a great sunshade that provides great coverage itself, but they added an extender which is great, however, it is such a pain to put back in. You basically have to roll it and stuff it back into a small, awkward zipper under the shade. I won't be using that feature again. There is also a shade provided with the car seat that is just not practical. It is super flimsy. The car seat is nice and padded and my son fits well in it. I thought I would like the additional ways to carry the carseat, but I find them cumbersome and probably won't use them very often. Overall, I do like this travel system, but it misses the mark for me on some things. If luxe is the look you're going for, then this is the stroller for you!

A Great Travel System for Busy Families
April 15, 2021
This travel system is sleek, well designed and functional. What we love about it: the design is so neutral and classic. Awesome leather handlebars and all black. Telescoping handlebar makes it easy for short and tall parents. Overall Classy and sophisticated. Comes with cup holder and rain shield! The canopy is the best part. Long and extendable. The tires are smooth and the ride is enjoyable. The removable inner carrier component is perfect for taking baby with you wherever you have to go! Light and functional. What we'd change: the storage could be a bit bigger and items in the storage bin cannot stay when the stroller is collapsed. We also didn't like the two separate attachments for the car seat. Just feels like too many parts. Overall, a great stroller and travel system. Very grateful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system!

Love this system!
April 15, 2021
I will start woth the one thing I did not love, I do not love that you have to change out the adapter on the stroller to use the stroller seat, or carseat. My other travel system had a universal adapter so no chances of loosing brackets. This however was not a deal breaker for me, I keep brackets in the car, I am pretty much only using the carsest with stroller in the car anyway, and it us just push a button and pull to remove. It really is very easy, I would just prefer a universal adapter. That is my only negative! Where to start...the stroller seat has a built in bug liner. Which also acts as a sunscreen! It just zips out of the edge of the stroller visor. I love that it is built in! It also came with a rain shield which is nice too. I love the seperate start and stop of break levers too. And being on the wheels, you do not accidently kick it when walking. The carseat, oh my the carseat! I have always stopped using carriers as soon as possible because they get so heavy! They really considered this with this carseat. The inner layer is completely removable, so you can carry your sleeping baby cross body or with the handles. This also eliminated the need to remove them and carry in your favorite carrier. You never have to disturb baby, and easy to get in and out. This piece just weighs 5 pounds, so it is very light. This has to be my favorite feature. Since the inner liner is removable, you can keep the base and shell of the carseat in the car, and only have to bring this smaller piece inside! Yiu can wear crossbody too, so you still have hands to carry in other items from the car! Less trips back to rhe car! One more thing with the stroller, the leather handle has a nice soft grip, and it glides very easily. It is like pushing nothing! The seat has many recline positions, so baby can use early too! The larger tires make it nice for almost all terrains. The basket is large enough to store many things for your outing. My baby loves the stroller seat and

Great Multi-Terrain Stroller
April 15, 2021
This stroller would be a perfect fit for an on-the-go family! I received this item to review from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and have used it on my 3 week old and 19 month old. My favorite configuration is using the stroller but facing me, this is a feature my previous stroller did not have. The under stroller storage is ideal for having large bags to tote. I love the removable inner carrier feature on the car seat, this saves us, parents, from taking out the whole car seat when the baby is asleep and just carrying them in something lighter. Both of my kids loved this stroller and so do I!

Tayla XP Travel System is a game changer!
April 14, 2021
I was sent the Maxi Cosi Tayla XP travel system by Stellar Product Testing Panel to review. I was so impressed with the functionality and design. The Coral XP Car seat was amazing! The removable inner carrier with shoulder strap was a breeze to use, and was super lightweight even with my 14 pound little one in it! My favorite configuration was the stroller with the car seat clipped in. I found I could easily pop out the inner carrier with one hand. Pro tip: pull up the inner straps and hold with your left hand, then push the release button on the front of the car seat to release...be sure to push firmly near the front of the car seat button to release. I found the button a bit tricky at first until I got the hang of how it functioned. Here are some of the things I loved about the Tayla travel system stroller and Coral XP infant car seat. - The Coral XP car seat inner carrier with shoulder strap is such a game charger for Mama's everywhere - Lightweight to lift and place into car - Reversible stroller seat is great for mixing things up for your busy baby - Various features of the canopy and seat recline positions provide lots of versatility - Cup holder comes included and handlebar is comfortable and offers a wide range of heights to accommodate users of varying heights - Stroller seat and car seat adapter brackets easily clip into place Here are a few things I didn't love about the Tayla XP travel system: - Canopy privacy net is functionally difficult to zip back up when not in use. Definitely a disappointment because it's size provides great sun protection for your little one, but it's so hard to zip back into place when not in use - The car seat and the toddler seat require different adapter brackets so if using for two children of different ages this is not convenient Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me the fabulous Maxi Cosi Tayla XP travel system to test out.

Wow! It's exactly what I needed!
April 14, 2021
This travel system is beautifully designed and I'm in love with it. I'm currently using this travel system for my 5-month-old son and there have been no complaints whatsoever which are huge in my book. This functional stroller is luxurious and I feel confident pushing this stroller around my neighborhood walks. I live in a sunny area, so the MaxShade extendable canopy is a great feature for my kid. I don't think I've seen strollers with a complete privacy shade cover for the entire seat! I initially didn't think much of the adjustable handle, but it's actually been super useful and practical for my husband and I - I'm short and he's taller than I am, so adjusting the handlebar to our comfort level was important when we go on for longer walks. Also, let's talk about the extra large basket on the bottom of the stroller! My toddler loves to collect all kinds of treasures when we go for walks - rocks, sticks, seeds, nuts, flowers, etc, and of course we can't forget snacks, water, extra pair of clothing because you know, a toddler. Also, with a 5 month old in tow, I also need to store the diaper backpack. I can wear it, but why should I if I can use the basket from the stroller. Everything fits perfectly in the basket! The base for the infant car seat was easy to install and my favorite feature of this travel system is how easy it is to fold and how lightweight it is compared to other strollers I've used in the past. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system!

There are many things great about this car seat and stroller, but my favorite feature is how easy it was to install the car seat base. Being able to push the release lever down on the base and having the anchor belts tighten on their own was as close to baby gear magic as I've ever seen. The load leg is also a nicely thought safety feature that I really appreciated. I was very confident that I had the base installed securely and correctly with minimal effort. The canopy on the car seat is larger than most I've seen and effectively blocked the sun from my little one's face. The nesting system was fun to play with. The inner carrier is a little finicky in releasing. You have to push very deep and in just the right spot for it to come out of the base. However, it was extremely handy to be able to just grab the inner carrier once I figured out the correct dynamics. Grabbing the inner carrier for little run ins like picking up my kid from preschool was very nice. The shoulder strap was an interesting idea, it didn't work for me though. I'm a very petite woman at 59" and it was too cumbersome of a set up. The shoulder strap stretched too much for me and I had to keep a good hold on the inner carrier when there isn't a great place for your hand to hold onto. Locking the car seat onto the Tayla stroller using the included adapters is something I needed to crouch down and really line up, it's not something you can blindly throw on and it clicks in without a thought. The Tayla stroller feels very sturdy and is a comfortable and smooth ride. My little one seemed to stay calm more in this stroller than in others that didn't have as nice wheels and suspension. Opening and closing the stroller took a few tries till I got the mechanics down and the stroller itself is large and heavy.

The travel system that lends a helping hand
April 14, 2021
The Tayla XP travel system with the Coral XP car seat has been a game changer for my family. My favorite feature of the system is the 4 modes of carry (cross body, handle, standard, and stroller). The car seat has an inner carrier which is super light (5 pounds). You can lift out the inner carrier and use the cross body strap to carry your child around. This is especially great for quick trips to the store. I haven't seen any other car seats that have this feature. The car seat comes with adapters that are easy to easy to install and to attach to the stroller. You can also use the stroller without the car seat. The fabrics in the car seat and the stroller and are high quality. I love the leather handles. Another great feature is that the stroller folds easily and can stand up on its own when folded. I love that my son can ride forward-facing in this stroller. The stroller seat is tall and my son looks like a king on walks throughout the neighborhood. Thank you to the Stellar Testing panel for letting me try out this amazing travel set. I highly recommend this product!

Luxe and easy to use

My baby and I both love this stroller! He loves how high and forward he sits, so he is part of the action. I love how easily the whole system works together and makes my life simple and still look good doing it. This is a really great system - it is intuitive to set up, has just the right level of features and is trying to address common pain points like how infant carriers always weigh a million pounds I received this through the Stellar Panel Product Testing and probably would not have picked it out on my own but I like it much better than my other stroller that I currently have - the UppaBaby Vista. Mainly because it is lighter ans easier to navigate.

Worth it!

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system. First things first, this travel system is amazing! I have never heard of a carseat where it had a removable inner carrier. This was a game changer and made going to the doctors a breeze without me needing to lug out the whole car seat nor stroller. I'm 5'2 and carrying carseats was always a struggle for me especially with me not having control and the baby bouncing everywhere with the carseat bouncing off my hips. I attached the strap to the carrier, threw it over my shoulder and was set to go. For our morning walks I love how smooth the stroller is and how easy it maneuvers. The baby sleeps the whole way and the nice canopy keeps him away from the sun. The seating was extra comfortable for him with the soft padding and cushioning. I always feel like I'm packing the whole house along with me so having a large area below the stroller definitely allows me to. The added cup holder is a plus in my books. The thing that sold me the most is how lightweight and easy it is to setup and collapse with just one hand. With the ability to swap the infant seat to a regular seat I'm looking forward to using this travel system for years to come!

Best Travel System By Far!
April 14, 2021
I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and all I can say is wow! I honestly have zero complaints about the Tayla XP travel system. From unboxing to on the go with an infant and two toddlers I was noting but impressed. I was initially pleased with how easy the Tayla system was to assemble, it took us less than 5 minutes. The stroller is light weight yet sturdy design makes this our favorite stroller in an extensive lineup which includes many other top brands. The stroller has a clean and modern design that features a comfortable grip that is easily adjustable on the fly to fit myself (6ft) and my wife that is 5 foot 2 inches. Having three children, the basket under the stroller is roomy enough to fit all the supplies needed for a long park trip. My wife enjoys how easily it is to push the Tayla stroller. It moves over sidewalks, crushed stone, grass, and even mulch like a dream. It's compact style is great for navigating tight city streets as well as the super market. Having the ability to open and close the stroller with one hand is also helpful when you have a toddler on your hip. Truthfully my favorite part of this travel system is the car seat and base. Over the past few years I have mastered the instillation of car seats, but I wish I had this system for our first child it would have taken away a lot of frustration. Not only is this base the most secure I have seen, but it was a breeze to install. When securing the base to the car the self locking straps made it so easy to attach to the seat hooks ( for new parents this is worth the cost in its self.) The red and green indicators give you peace of mind that instillation was successful. Did I mention how light the car seat is? Well it is, which I am so grateful for, our old travel system was so heavy and difficult to carry. The combination of the cross body strap and the removable inner carrier component carry make the Tayla system my favorite travel system by f

I love the Tayla XP Travel System with Coral XP Infant Car Seat! Since receiving, I have used the system every day. The detachable inner seat is so lightweight and easy to hold - I can carry it easily by myself, even with twins! I would highly recommend these, my babies look much more comfortable without compromising safety, and I'm a happier mom for it! My twin boys are currently 3 months old, and after receiving the travel system and infant car seat as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I just had to purchase a matching car seat to have a set!

Beautiful, lightweight easy to use!

I love this travel system! I use the stroller for my 2 year old and i use the car seat for my 6 week old and they both absolutely love it! I am always on the go so this was amazing for me and my two little ones! The things i love are their is so much room for my stuff underneath the stroller, the stroller is super easy to fold up and it's very lightweight! I can literally fold it up with one hand. I love the lightweight carrier so easy to put on and walk around with. The car seat is different then other seats because it's so lightweight, i can carry it with one hand. Installation of the car seat is very easy and fast it has a leveling system so you know it's in the right way. I love the modular seat so my baby can face me or look at everyone passing by! The maxshade is so nice for privacy and to block out the wind or bugs. The stroller is super smooth even when walking on bumpy surfaces. It's absolutely beautiful! I actually look forward to taking both my little ones on walks! The only drawback is that it doesn't convert to a double stroller. Overall it is the best travel system i have ever used! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this travel system.

Stylish, classy, smooth ride!

I was so excited to try out the Tayla XP Travel System with Coral XP Infant Car Seat from Stellar Product Testing Panel! I've broken my review down into Pros & Cons. Pros: * Stroller is very easy assemble (less than 10 minutes) * The car seat base is very easy to assemble in the car and I feel confident in the security of seat with easy to read level indicators. * The stroller is lightweight and easy to maneuver! Personally, I think it's a rough ride over gravel, but it glides like a dream on concrete! * Love the mesh bug shield on stroller seat- perfect for keeping bugs away from baby! * Love the range of seat on stroller- baby can lay down almost completely or sit up! * Rain canopy is amazing for windy days and keeping baby cozy but protected from elements. * The infant car seat is lush and comfy! Baby loves it- she looks so content, safe and snug in there!! * The adapters for the car seat and stroller seat are color coated and easy to install. There's no confusion as to which side they go on!! Hallelujah! * Color coated brake system is awesome. * Telescoping handlebar is perfect for couples who are different heights! * Beautiful vegan leather accents * Material of car seat and stroller seat are amazing- It's like neoprene. * Love the dual seat options for stroller seat for warm and cold weather! * Basket is decent size * Love the cup holder on the side of stroller for easy beverage access for momma! * Con: bungee feature is awkward and difficult to use for me and my husband but it may be a nice feature for someone else. * Con: small sun shade- wish it was longer. When baby is laying down in the stroller seat, the canopy isn't quite long enough to keep the sun out of baby's eyes. * Con: By adding your own parent console, it will slide down on the handlebar- I wish handlebar would come out at a 90 degree angle. * Con: There is no option to add two seats or glider board to stroller for toddler or additional children.
