Maxi-Cosi Fame Stroller Review

Basically, it's amazing!  

Your heart explodes daily, and somehow, you become that person who shows complete strangers pictures of your baby because ...well, they are the cutest thing ever. You've got mystery stains on your shirt almost all the time (hoping it’s milk) and you're weirdly proud when your kid poops on schedule. This is your life, and it's gloriously chaotic! 

Having the right sidekick for the adventure of parenthood can make all the difference. No, we aren’t talking about your partner (though they’re great too), we are talking strollers. 

If you are looking for a stroller that’s up to the daily demands of parenting, you may want to consider the Fame Stroller by Maxi-Cosi. 

This isn’t just any old stroller — it’s like the sleek, luxury car of baby gear. Modern tech? Check. Luxe comfort? Absolutely. Eye-catching design? You better believe it!  

An Upgrade to Modern Parenting 

THE SPECS: 

• Suitable from birth with the Fame Carry Cot or Maxi-Cosi 360 Pro Series Infant Car Seat 
• Seat suitable from 6 months up to 48 lbs. (roughly 4 years old) 
• Stroller Weight: 30 lbs. 
• Folded Dimensions: 19” x 26.5” x 12” 
• 3 colour options: dark green, beige, or black 

The Fame Stroller can be used from birth when paired with a compatible Maxi-Cosi infant car seat or with the purchase of the Fame Carry Cot. With its spacious design, memory foam mattress, and clever ventilation, the Carry Cot provides ultimate comfort, keeping baby cool and cozy. The adjustable height means no more backaches for parents, and the SoothingSlope feature helps ease reflux with a gentle incline. Plus, it folds up easily and even has built-in pockets for your essentials.

At around the 6-month mark, your baby can transition over to the Fame's toddler seat, where they can enjoy first-class comfort. More about that later, but let's dive into the Fame's high-tech offerings first!

Our Favourite Features

The moment you start using this stroller you'll realize what you've been missing. It's like going from dial-up internet to fiberoptic — you simply didn't know life could be this good! Maxi-Cosi packs it with features that deserve a standing ovation!

1. LumiRide LED Lighting System

You know how you can see where you are going on evening summer walks? The Fame brings that luxury back to Canadian parents all year round (no more dreaded 5 pm winter strolls in the dark) thanks to the customizable LED lights on both the front and back of the under seat basket. 

The lights sync with an app because it's 2025 and your stroller should be as smart as your phone. Want purple lights while power walking around the neighbourhood? No sweat. Want to match your lights to your mood? Absolutely. This isn't just a safety feature — it's a light show on wheels that happens to be pushing your most precious cargo!

2. Built-In Powerbank: Charge as You Stroll 

Nothing says modern parenting like charging your phone while pushing your baby. If you forgot to charge your phone (again), Fame’s integrated 5000mAh powerbank has got you covered. No more praying your phone lasts through your baby’s stroll — just plug in and keep going! 
 

3. CosiCruise Suspension: Because Your Baby Deserves a Smooth Ride 

Cracked sidewalks? Gravel paths? The Fame laughs in the face of bumpy roads! Its CosiCruise suspension and puncture-proof off-road wheels absorb shocks, keeping your little one peacefully snoozing while you navigate everything from urban streets to that uneven park trail your mom group swears is “scenic” (but actually feels like you’re taking your baby off-roading). 
 

4. Compact Fold 

 Maxi-Cosi clearly understood one fundamental truth: Parents don't have free hands. Ever! 

You're always holding a child, a diaper bag, a half-eaten snack, someone's discarded jacket, or all of the above. 

That's why the Fame's folding mechanism is so brilliantly simple it practically folds itself with a telekinetic glance! Also, it folds with the seat facing either direction! No more public stroller wrestling matches in parking lots while strangers pretend not to watch your struggle. One smooth motion and you're done! 
 

Next-Level Comfort for Baby (and You!) 

 
Toddlers are harsh critics. They'll scream as if their life depends on it if their sock is slightly twisted or if the sun dares to exist in their field of vision. The Fame stroller anticipates these concerns and meets them with comfort features that will have them giving two (sticky) thumbs up. 

The HD memory foam inlay creates a plush in-seat experience for your little VIP. With three reclining positions (including a near-flat option for those must-happen-now naps) and an adjustable footrest, your kiddo can lounge like they're at a baby spa retreat. 

The ClimaFlow mesh seat keeps things ventilated when it's hotter than your pre-baby date nights, while the padded insert brings the cozy when temperatures drop. An XXL UPF 50+ canopy protects your baby from sun exposure, keeping them cool and collected (fingers crossed on the latter).

Parent-Friendly Perks 

 
The Fame acknowledges a revolutionary concept — parents are people too! With actual needs! 

Here's how it makes your parenting marathon slightly less exhausting: 

Adjustable Handle Height: No more hunching over like you're searching for lost Cheerios on the sidewalk.

Underseat Storage: The basket holds up to 22 lbs. of essential parent gear. That's one overstuffed diaper bag, multiple snack containers, water bottles, a complete change of clothes, seventeen rocks your child insists are "special," and still enough room for those Homesense impulse buys your partner doesn't need to know about. 

Push-Push Brake System: Stop instantly without scuffing your shoes. The upright wheel lock also keeps your stroller firmly in place. 

Magnetic 5-Point Harness: secure your squirming little octopus with minimal wrestling and zero tears (from either of you!). 

Ergonomic Design: The Fame is designed for both efficiency and comfort, because your back is already suffering enough from picking up toys and sleeping in pretzel positions to accommodate tiny bed invaders. 
 

Final Thoughts 

The Maxi-Cosi Fame Stroller is an exceptional choice for parents who want a stylish, comfortable, and highly functional stroller that makes modern parenting just a little bit easier. From its smart LED lighting system to its integrated powerbank, this stroller is packed with innovative features that cater to both your practical needs and your baby’s comfort. The smooth ride, easy folding mechanism, and thoughtful design ensure that navigating through daily parenting tasks feels like a breeze. 

Whether you're out for a stroll at dusk, charging your phone on the go, or effortlessly folding the stroller while holding your baby, the Fame delivers a luxury experience that is both parent- and baby-approved. The Maxi-Cosi Fame is more than just a stroller — it’s a reliable companion for the beautiful, chaotic adventure of parenthood.
