Maxi-Cosi Lila: Adapts to Your Child’s Ever-Changing Needs

In a Nutshell

Meet the Maxi-Cosi Lila

As a busy parent, you continually work around your schedules to meet your child’s shifting demands. The Maxi-Cosi Lila may just help you with those demands. We know how vital it is to maintain a close relationship with your child, which is why this stroller’s modular seat can be adjusted to face either you for eye contact or the road ahead for when your child is a curious toddler.

It’s effortless to connect a Maxi-Cosi Mico infant car seat to the Lila if you’d prefer not to disturb your child’s nap after a car ride. Additionally, if you’re expecting a second child, this Lila modular stroller can easily accommodate both your baby and toddler when you add the Duo stroller kit.

Value for Money

The Lila costs an expensive $800, but at time of writing, it’s on sale on Amazon for $499.99.

This stroller is definitely an investment, but since you can use it from the moment your child is born until they weigh 50 pounds, it could last some good years. On top of that, it comes with accessories which are normally sold separately, like the cup holder, footmuff, and rain cover. The Lila is also equipped with a detachable shopping basket, much like a real urban stroller, to meet your needs when you’re out and about.

Thus, its overall price becomes much more tolerable.

What parents say

“Compared to the Vista V2, the Lila was the most financially sensible option, therefore I got it.” – S. April 7, 2022, 1 star

“I appreciate that this stroller includes EVERY accessory that would typically cost more money for other brands given the price.” – A. April 19, 2021, 5 stars

Ease of Use

The Maxi-Cosi Lila offers a good number of features which help parents make their lives easier.

For example, this stroller has a transportable tote where you can place small stuff like the remote to your garage door or keys to your home.

The Lila’s reversible seat provides your child with numerous reclining positions, a large canopy that offers the best protection from the sun, rain, and wind, plus a rain cover that keeps your young adventurer always dry. These features are sure to come in handy as you enjoy your daily strolls.

To add, the Lila is very simple to use as it can be folded using one-hand.

On another note, parents in our survey have experienced some difficulties in handling the Lila, in terms of removing the car seat from the stroller and assembly/disassembly.

What parents say

“Installing and removing the car seat from the stroller requires a small amount of practice.” – K. January 13, 2022, 5 stars

“The car seat adapters are distorted, making it nearly impossible to remove the car seat from the stroller. There is no way you could accomplish it without waking a sleeping child.” – S. April 7, 2022, 2 stars

“Every time I take this stroller apart and separate all of its bits, I genuinely feel like I’m working out.” – B. September 14, 2021, 2 stars

Portability

The Lila can be folded with just one hand in a straightforward manner. Your infant may begin their travel adventures in style with this stroller. You can be certain that the Lila will give your child the best level of comfort during your daily adventures.

Kindly note that it is still very large even when folded compactly and that for some parents, it can be somewhat heavy at 28 lbs.

What parents say

“Stroller storage and use are both pretty simple. With one hand, it can be folded up, but it is not extremely compact.” – Y. August 2, 2021, 5 stars

Maneuverability

The Lila can be used for a longer period of time and its durable, unique wheels contribute to that aspect. More comfort is offered by its simple braking mechanism and excellent maneuverability. While its wheels are extra-large, this stroller can maneuver nicely in city restaurants and building elevators.

However, not all parents are satisfied because of its suspension and wobbling wheels, therefore making it not so easy to maneuver.

What parents say

“While strolling, the stroller feels shaky as you can feel every crack in the sidewalk.” – S. April 7, 2022, 1 star

“It’s not an easy-to-use double stroller. I have three children and utilizing this stroller as a double proved to be quite difficult. Going through the church hallway felt like a workout since it kept running into things.” – C. May 17, 2022, 2 stars

Safety and Quality

Maxi-Cosi is known for its parent-designed products and has been in the business for more than 35 years. The company is well-rated in terms of safety regulations and everyday use.

After your arms, the Lila stroller gives your infant the most pleasant place to be. It’s well-made and sturdy, and your infant will feel protected and cocooned by its memory foam inlay, too. In the early months, it provides the best support for your baby’s development.

Several parents though, have commented that they feel some parts of the stroller are flimsy or unstable.

What parents say

“The bottom storage basket is the one item that, in my opinion, is a little flimsy because it’s not firmly fastened and instead kind of flaps around.” – K. January 13, 2022, 5 stars

“Small and fragile describes the storage space. It never completely recovered its shape or rigidity. As we crossed obstacles, things kept slipping out of the bag.” – S. April 7, 2022, 2 stars

“It took me less than ten minutes to assemble this on my own. It’s got a smooth ride and feels sturdy. It is also simple to fold and move around.” – A. April 19, 2021, 5 stars

Accessorize Your Maxi-Cosi Lila

The Maxi-Cosi Lila cup holder makes it simpler for parents to bring their beverages along for the ride. It is available on Amazon and on the Maxi-Cosi official online store. Most of the essential attachments like the cup holder, footmuff, and rain cover are included in the package, which makes this stroller loveable.

What parents say

“I appreciate that this item has a bassinet and toddler seat in one, in addition to having all the attachments like the rain cover and cup holders.” – C. August 4, 2021, 4 stars

“Included are the privacy barrier, footmuffs, parent accessories, rain cover, and bumper bar. The fact that it comes with a newborn insert and can easily transform into a makeshift bassinet for the baby’s younger years is another feature I enjoy.” – A. April 19, 2021, 5 stars

Should You Consider the Maxi-Cosi Lila for Your Family?

The Maxi-Cosi Lila is ideal for kids between the ages of one and 3.5, making it ideal for city living. The luxury of taking your young child on a hassle-free stroll through the city is made possible with the Lila. Its big wheels ensure that you won’t have any trouble navigating the city’s somewhat bumpy roadways.

Storing this stroller is as easy and practical as it can be, thanks to its one-hand folding mechanism.

It’s worth noting though, that some of the participants in our survey complained about its maneuverability, mostly due to its suspension and wobbling wheels.

Overall, parents are content and happy with the Maxi-Cosi Lila’s performance.

If you’re on the lookout for a quality stroller which can be used for years for the same child, can expand to a duo stroller when needed, offers essential accessories as part of the package, and is sturdy, then the Maxi-Cosi Lila could be an attractive stroller option to consider for your family.
