Kindred Collection Carriage Accessory

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this carriage accessory through Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall the carriage accessory was a great bassinet on-the-go for our little one. We loved the fabrics of this bassinet, including the inside padding which made it comfortable for our baby to lay in and nap while we were out on walks. Everything about it allows for easy removal and machine washing, which we appreciated our new baby! We used this stroller in the winter and the canopy was particularly helpful in blocking the wind. The top panel helped keep our baby warm inside. The mesh netting on the bassinet and zipper canopy would be particularly helpful if used in the summer months to provide extra ventilation. The best part of this bassinet for us was the storage pouch in front, where we were able to keep spare pacifiers and burp cloths. We also thought the ease of storage for the full bassinet was terrific, and certainly unique for a bassinet. The basket is able to collapse and fold flat which allows for storage in our closet or car when traveling. The Tana 360 stroller frame enabled us to rotate the bassinet as needed which was helpful when sitting out at restaurants or navigating tight spaces that wouldn’t allow us to fully turn the stroller. The only frustration was zipping the apron onto the bassinet. We thought the alignment of the zipper could have been adjusted to make it easier, at least for the first time attaching it. Overall this bassinet is a solid accessory for the stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best stroller bassinet. It is wide enough and long enough that my 20lb tall baby still has lots of room. It’s much bigger and deeper than other bassinets. Our neighborhood has a lot of hills so the 360 degree turn feature is a must have for walking up and down hills. I can just easily turn the bassinet so my baby doesn’t have her head below her feet on a hill incline. It fits snugly in the stroller. Fabrics are luxury and cover is a hard shell which makes it easy to unzip one handed. Easy to take off and machine wash pad liner. Plenty of coverage. I almost never need to use the mesh insert, but it’s nice to have it as an option. And the small pocket at the foot of the bassinet is perfect for my phone and keys! Stroller does have an awkward fold. It takes some time to get used to folding and handling the stroller while folded. But I have no cons with this accessory. If you have a Tana 360 you need this! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller accessory.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this carriage accessory. We love our 360 degree rotating stroller and the carriage is extremely easy to attach and detach from the stroller base. Being able to easily manipulate the direction baby is facing is priceless in a sunny or windy environment! Even though it is quite a large attachment, it is easy to maneuver and lift on and off and carry. The mattress material is comfortable but firm for infant safety and I enjoyed the small storage area that Maxi Cosi creatively managed to fit in! The fabric on the mattress and pad are easy to remove and wash. I also enjoy the cover and mesh ventilation window so that baby can enjoy the fresh air more easily. My baby has taken many a nap in the carriage on the go! The only thing I would suggest adding would be some sort of restraint belt or swaddle onto the pad of the bassinet. Walking up or down steep hills near my home made me a little concerned that baby was going to roll or slide too much in the bassinet. Overall, I would definitely recommend this carriage attachment to anyone wanting to take young infants out on stroller rides.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this stroller accessory. I absolutely love this Carriage accessory! It’s beautiful, well made, and looks great with the matching stroller. It attaches to the stroller with ease, is sturdy and easy to use. It’s more than worth the price you pay for. This carriage is so useful whenever we go out and baby needs a safe place for a nap. It’s also great for tummy time during walks so our baby can look at the trees and work on making his neck muscles stronger! The mesh privacy shade and ventilation window is great for when you need to check on baby and will be extremely useful depending on the weather situation so baby has enough ventilation during naps. The removable cover made it easy to get baby in and out of the carriage. The materials and fabric used to make this carriage are 5 star quality. I love the touch and feel, it’s so soft and yet so comfortable for my baby, and I feel like it’s very safe for my baby to sleep in. The added storage pouch is a great place for baby wipes, pacifier, bottles, etc. Overall I’m very pleased with this carriage and I’m excited to bring it along with us for trips and outings!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this stroller accessory to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I absolutely love the stroller accessory. The carriage is large enough for baby to grow in over several months into young toddler. The carriage is made very well, has wonderful fabric and the cushion is very luxurious. The shade and the privacy cover helped immensely when we were going through the colder days of the month while out and about. Baby slept wonderfully and comfortably inside the carriage. The small accessory pocket on the end was great to keep my phone in. It's not as large or as deep as I would have liked, but it is very handy. The canopy and salad the fabric is great quality. The overall structure of the carriage is very well made. A few things of caution would be that it is fairly heavy and a little awkward for one person to attach to the stroller. I was still able to manage with slight struggle. I do like how it folds down for easy storage and transportation. However, it takes a little bit of extra strength to extend the sides while pulling the levers opposite of each other at the bottom of the carriage for setting it up. Breaking it down, was very simple. Overall, I would recommend this stroller accessory for lengthy outings where baby needs to take a nice nap but also for comfort.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Given this is our third baby, I’ve had stroller envy over the years. One accessory that I’ve really envied has been the carriages, especially in the beginning months of a baby’s life — it’s nice to give them options for how they be strolled around, and the carriages look so luxury. I was thrilled that this Maxi-Cosi Carriage Accessory matched perfectly with our Tana 360 degree Rotating Modular Stroller - it really is such a convenient add-on. As with the stroller, the packaging is so pretty - not a requirement, but makes the purchase feel more luxury. What’s really neat about pairing the stroller with this carriage accessory is that it rotates also — so you get similar adaptability as with the main stroller device. We live in Florida, so I was worried about the heat in this one, but it includes a mesh privacy net (mosquito friendly) and ventilation window in the back to let in air on a hot day. My current youngest spits up a lot, so I’m pleased to know that I can wash the pad and liner - or else this would get ruined easily. I like that the cover snaps in and out of place, so you can easily maneuver your baby in and out of it. My baby was a little concerned about the carriage at first, but then he got used to it once he realized it was comfortable. I love that the fabric is made using recycled water bottles - a neat selling feature. The small storage pouch is nice to hold binkies, your phone, a key or something. I do wish it was a bit bigger of a pouch, but it’s not like I’d leave the house for a stroll without my diaper bag. I did read that you should only use up to when they’re 20 pounds or can push up on his hands or knees — so I’ll be interested to see how much longer I can use it. Regardless, it’s a luxury piece and really well made. Very easy to figure out how to use and snap into place on the stroller. While I wouldn't recommend strolling them in this, my toddler girls sure got a kick out of climbing into it while it was sitting in our living room. Another comment is that the accessory itself is fairly lightweight once assembled - which is a plus given the stroller itself is quite heavy. Not a reason to not get the stroller, but I did want to point it out. Another random piece of feedback is that the instruction manual says that babies shouldn’t sleep in it - which is weird to me because it seems like that’d be the point. Regardless, I’ve monitored my little guy when in it and had no problems. Otherwise, I did think that was odd. I received this carriage accessory as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel program, but the review is my own. 2 thumbs up for a beautiful piece!
