  • I use this when ever we go on road trips because it does not take up car space. I put it in the leg room I also love it for mall trips it fits in between racks in small stores. Awesome 2nd stroller. Sep 15, 2022

    I love the is for travel. It is very light weight and compact. It went into the overhead compartment on a plane. I like the range of recline. A tested a few foldable strollers and liked this by far. Mar 23, 2022

  • Just purchased recently, easy to put together and very lightweight. I plan to use this for trips to the park, beach, zoo, etc for my toddler. Love the double basket and the one handed steering. Jun 19, 2021

  • Love the small size, the nice fabrics, the two storage baskets, and the smooth ride. And it fits in an airplane overhead bin!! Dec 30, 2020

  • I just bought this yesterday because of how light & compact it is! I’m hoping I love it! Especially since we’re going on vacation soon Oct 13, 2020

  • I have this Lara stroller. We love this as an option for a light weight stroller. I love that it reclines so when my daughter falls asleep. And the sunshade expands giving extra protection from sun! May 08, 2020

  • My 13 month old is not walking and my 2.5 year old hates the stroller! So we pop the baby into this awesome stroller every time we’re out! It’s super compact when it folds and SOO light! Mar 20, 2020

  • Pros of the stroller - light weight, price. Cons-Break is in awkward spot that my long legs kick it while walking. It cannot hold a car seat. I think there are better travel strollers out there Feb 18, 2020

    So I have a love hate relationship about this stroller. I love how it’s compact and light but my LO always has to put her head up on wanting to see things and it doesn’t fully sit up right. Oct 04, 2019

  • We so love this stroller! It is definitely a travel must have!It fits in the overhead of the plane-we don’t have to check it in. also easy to fold and unfold, great canopy, and reclines! comfortable! Sep 10, 2019

  • Love!! Super easy to travel with. Comfortable and looks nice. Apr 09, 2019

    The Maxi Cosi Lara is the most convenient trifold stroller with cost in mind. Quality fabrics and enough storage space. Wished the US version came with the bumper bar (bought a universal one). Mar 26, 2019

  • I cannot rave about this lightweight stroller enough! Folds and unfolds with one hand. Wheels turn smooth and my little one loves to nap in it when out and about! Definitely recommend!!! Mar 21, 2019

  • I initially wanted the Yoyo, but the price was out of our budget for a travel stroller so we got this stroller instead. We ended up LOVING it and it fit in the overhead compartment on the plane. Mar 09, 2019

    Pros:Lightweight weight and fast folding Cons: the seat belt Feb 26, 2019

    • Maria R.
    • United States of America

    Compact, easy to fold, and the only stroller I've had that I can actually steer with one hand. Perfect for travel, or for those who need to fold up their stroller frequently. Still fits my 3 yr old. Feb 08, 2019

  • PROS: folding/unfolding, two storage compartments, leg rest, steers easy, material is nice, sunshade is large. CONS: only two seat positions, short handle so feet hit while walking, uneven sidewalks. Feb 06, 2019

    • Ruth K.
    • New York, New York

    Perks: lightweight, folds up nicely and tiny, has second (small) storage basket, 1-handed push Downsides: buckle is tricky, seat back hard to secure upright, can not accommodate car seat for travel Feb 05, 2019

  • I received this as part of the weespring Parent Panel and I am excited about this stroller. Finally a comfortable stroller that easily folds/unfolds and fits in my car! Baby and I are happy! Feb 04, 2019

  • Great-looking stroller with two baskets. Easy to fold. Foot brake is in a spot where your stride hits it, stopping the stroller abruptly. Very lightweight. Only has two positions: upright and flat Feb 02, 2019

    • Sarah U.
    • Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

    Great for everyday use! Feb 01, 2019

  • Great Travel Stroller. Very light compact. Excellent Wheel size for going around the city. Doesn't recline all the way but has tons of small features that make life better :) Jan 31, 2019

    • Ml H.

    its very light and easy fold, fold into something that can fit into overhead compartment Jan 31, 2019

  • Our daughter is 19 months old and we have been looking for a stroller that is more compact and light weight now that she’s more active.This stroller is so easy to fold and throw over your shoulder. Jan 30, 2019

  • This stroller is incredible! From the easy one handed fold/open, to the storage space and included cup holder. If you travel often, are in crowds often, or want a stroller that is compact, get it. Jan 30, 2019

  • The fold is super compact and light - great for travel. Can't handle rugged sidewalks, seat is a little too upright (and doesn't have middle recline options). Great in the airport, not for everyday. Jan 30, 2019

  • It is a breeze to use! The fold open/close is super impressive (it folds down on itself in thirds smoothly) and the stroller is light and compact - easy to carry around. Jan 30, 2019

  • This stroller is amazing for travel or a long day of errands. When I received this stroller from the weeSpring parent panel to try out I was super excited. Folds down super easy, is compact and comfy. Jan 29, 2019

  • Super lightweight, easy collapse to fold. Perfect for traveling/city life. Adjustable leg rest for baby a plus. Don't like the buckle system, or the recline system. Wish seat wasn't as shallow. Jan 29, 2019

  • I was given this Stroller to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. Overall the Maxi-Cosi Lara a great lightweight stroller, particularly if you're traveling or need something very compact. Jan 29, 2019

  • Versatile stroller that can be used for everyday or travel. Canopy is large enough to block the sun but storage is a little limited despite having two baskets. Jan 29, 2019

  • AMAZINGLY light and shaped for easy carrying, chic aesthetic, functional storage space and sun shade, easy assembly. Just not so sturdy on curbs and bumps. Jan 28, 2019

    • Kara F.
    • Brooklyn, New York

    Seems like a great backup or travel stroller but we couldn't make it work for our everyday city needs. The seat is too shallow for our boys, they just never seemed comfortable! Jan 28, 2019

    • Tara S.
    • United States of America

    I absolutely love how compact and easily carried this stroller is. It is only slightly larger than an umbrella stroller for a lot more comfort! Jan 28, 2019

  • This stroller is super compact, easy to use, and easy to store. There's not much I'd change about it! The material is nice, the stroller is comfy. I'd definitely recommend this stroller! Jan 28, 2019

    • Kylie H.
    • Chattanooga, Tennessee

    Every mama needs a compact travel stroller in her arsenal of strollers! Great for travel and quick trips, so easy to store and use! Love the color and features! Jan 28, 2019

  • Easy to fold- great recline feature! #weeSpringParentPanel Jan 27, 2019

  • PROS: Super light, easy open and close. Folds very small. 2 tiered storage is handy. Easy to steer. CONS: Only 2 seat positions: up/down. Buckle is clunky. Seat is almost too small for 2.5 yo- SHALLOW Jan 27, 2019

  • Got as part of weeSpring Panel. Easy to steer & fold one-handed. Baby sits high, easy to clip in and out. Recline feature is clunky. Wheels not rubberized. Needs plastic weather cover. Jan 26, 2019

  • Folds super small, one hand open and fold, but the clasp on the back is a bummer for the recline. Even took it to my daughter’s soccer game and it handled the grass! Good value! Jan 26, 2019

  • I can't imagine how this stroller would work for kids up to 50 pounds. My daughter is tall is only 2.5 and it felt like she was on the outer limits for this stroller. I think there are better options Jan 25, 2019

  • Easy fold. Super light. My 18 month old seemed comfy despite shallow seat. Stylish and easy to maneuver. Perfect for small spaces with a tiny folder footprint. Def recommend. Jan 25, 2019

  • I love the Maxi-Cosi style choices. The aesthetic is important to be and the Lara delivers. Furthermore, it’s a smooth ride for my daughter. She loves the cushion of the seat and the unobstructed view Jan 25, 2019

  • true one-hand fold Jan 25, 2019

    • Amy M.
    • Charleston , South Carolina

    Love this stroller. It was perfect for our recent travels to atlanta. It weighs nothing and for into the overhead space of our plane. My LO was super comfortable and slept soundly in iat the aquarium! Jan 25, 2019

  • This stroller is as described, my one year old who fits in it comfortably. Love the compact fold and how easy It is to store. Cons: buckle closure and how easily the break is engaged while walking. Jan 25, 2019
