Maxi-Cosi Lara
The Maxi-Cosi Lara is a lightweight, ultra-compact stroller with an ability to create a travel system. It is unique for having two shopping baskets so that despite minimalist dimensions typical for its category, the stroller offers enough storage space for walks and trips. The Lara is also boasting a super simple fold. The - almost automatic - fold is activated by pushing the button, with the gravity doing the rest. The parent needs to use only one hand. After folding, you can unzip the bottom pocket, where the carry strap is hidden.
The front-facing seat features partly made of mesh, breathable fabrics to maximize the comfort of the child during hot days - they are even fully washable. The backrest, as well as the leg rest, can be fully adjusted up to a lying position. Thanks to the option of adding a car seat (with adapters), and the full recline of the seat unit, the Lara is suitable from birth. The stroller comes with removable head support for the smallest babies, a rain cover, and a practical cup holder for a parent included.

Parent reviews of the Maxi-Cosi Lara
Your questions about the Maxi-Cosi Lara
Hello! I have a [bebe-confort-lara|Bébé Confort Lara]] and our basket has a hole ripped in it. I want a new one. Are the two pushchairs exactly the same dimensions and if so can I buy a Maxi Cosi Lara basket as a replacement?
Thanks!
Hi, Liz,
The baskets of the Bébé Confort Lara and the Maxi-Cosi Lara are the same, yes, so you should have no problem getting the basket from the Maxi-Cosi on the Bébé Confort iteration.
