Maxi-Cosi Coral XP Inner Carrier Adapter

I received this product through the stellar testing panel. While the adapter was great & easy to clip into the stroller in order to use the inner carrier with the stroller, we would not take advantage of this option with my daughter at her current age. She is 8 months old and prefers to sit up straight in the stroller, not lay back in a car seat.

I was given this travel system to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This adapter is nice to take some of the bulk out of the stroller. My 4mo daughter loves walks in the inner carrier with this adapter, However, I'm not sure this is something I'd recommend. It is assembled with the same adapters you would use with the carseat shell and truthfully I don't see that much difference from the shell and the adapter. The adapter is fairly large, so it is an additional item to have to store/take with you. It was convenient to leave the car seat shell in the car and use the adapter for the stroller, but not necessary.

I received this adapter from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I really enjoyed the adapter and it made moving baby from car to stroller pretty seamless. The infant inner carrier is so lightweight and this adapter was great so that you didn't have to lug the bulky plastic base too. Only downside is that it's extra pieces to a system that already seems to have a decent amount of pieces. It's not a must have but a nice addition if you're able to get it!

This adapter is nice if you're constantly short on the amount of space you have to open your car door or if the weight of the car seat with it's outer shell is really just too heavy with your ever growing baby. I found it did not fold nicely with my Tayla stroller and it had to be removed and reattached with every use which is just another step I didn't need to take. I'm all about getting in and out of the car as fast as possible, which is always a struggle with two kids in car seats, and I do not think this aided in that goal.

We bought this adapter just to find out the locking systems are not compatible.

Grrr

This has been amazing with baby #2. The Coral itself had us pretty dang happy w hands free mode- which if you've ever carried a car seat in/out of anywhere with another child to wrangle, you know 2 free hands is automatic life saver. But going in/out of places when I HAVE to take baby or both kids means I'm trying to get out as quickly as possible. Now that I can have the car seat on wheels with storage space with a really nice cover has been even more amazing! Really was going back & forth on spending the extra $$ buys so HAPPY we did

I've only had this adaptor for a short time but can truly say it's really enhanced our experience with the Coral XP. Now we basically leave the outer shell in the car on the car seat base and are able to solely use the soft inner carrier which is AMAZING!!! The adaptor was easy to assemble and attached to my Zelia with no issues. We are also able to fold the Zelia with the adaptor on it for car travel which is a bonus. I could never go back to a conventional infant car seat again!!!
