Description
Less bulk, more freedom to head out.
The Maxi-Cosi Lara in Essential Black is a compact stroller for everyday outings and travel with a child who can sit without help. A one-hand fold, carry strap and two storage baskets make it easier to move between a walk, the car boot and storage at home.
At a glance
- 1 hand: compact fold
- 2 baskets: accessible storage
- 50 lb: maximum child weight
An easy fold between outings.
Fold the stroller with one hand, then use the carry strap when you need a free hand or have steps to climb, with your child out of the stroller. The integrated travel bag stores beneath the seat. Its compact format is useful for travel, but cabin acceptance depends on the airline and flight.

Comfort and storage close at hand.
Adjust the reclining backrest and leg rest to suit your child’s position. An extendable UPF 50 canopy with a viewing window provides shade, while breathable fabrics encourage airflow. Lockable front swivel wheels and four-wheel suspension help manage uneven paths.
