Maxi-Cosi Mura 3

I absolutley love my Mura 3, and would highly recommend it to most people. My son is now 6 months old and I have used it most days since he was born. We have recently moved onto the pushchair seat from the carrycot/ car seat and I am just as pleased with this.

Below are the pros and cons I personally have found with it.

Pros:
1. Very easy to fold up and down, even with the pushchair attached. This does take a few practise gos but once you get the hang of it, it is very straight forward.

2. Robust tires. We go out for daily walks, usually an hour or more and I have found this system an absolute delight to push. I have never had any problems with punctures or issues with the tires at all, and we have been over some rough terrain. The only thing I can't attest to yet is how well it performs in ice and snow as I have only had it since May.

3. Great for carrying shopping. You won't get the weekly shop in there or anything, but it has a good size basket that accomodates the rain cover and leaves plenty room for anything you might pick up in town. I have also found with the weight of it I can get a good few bags on the handle with pram hooks without risking it tipping.

4. Folds down well to fit in the car. This is a big, bulky system. There is no getting around that, and I will get onto the cons I have found with that in a minute. However, I have not had an issue with getting it into my car. I drive a Peugoet 206, so not the smallest boot out there, but not a milion miles away from it either. I have to remove the parcel shelf, but without the pushchair attachment I can get it in without removing the wheels, and with the attachment it fits easily with one wheel removed. The wheels are very easy to remove and replace by pushing in a button. The only issue occurs on dank rainy days where they are likely to get dirty. However, I always have plenty of baby wipes to clean up after, and would use alcohol gel after touching the wheels were they visibly dirty or not, so it's not a huge issue for me. There is also still space in the boot for shopping

5. Comfort. It is very well padded and lined, and my son appears to be very comfortable in it. There is good head support in the pushchair attachment and it reclines. It doesn't go totally flat but very close to it, and he is quite happy in there whenever he falls asleep when we are out.

6. Forward and parent facing pushchair. This is my current favourite thing about the system. My son like facing outward and seeing what is going on in the world. However, when he gets tired and grumpy, he just wants to look at Mummy and Daddy. The pushchair attachment can be turned around easily at any point to allow him to face us when this happens. I wouldn't attempt it with baby in the seat, so it's not as handy when I'm on my own, but when there is someone there to hold him, or somewhere to set him down while I do it, this is an invaluable plus to this system.

7. Value for Money. We paid just over

We returned the Maxi Cosi Mura 3 to Boots yesterday and have today collected a Phil & Teds Explorer which is superior in every way. In short the Maxi Cosi was of shocking quality - cheap plastic joints that over time (8 months) become loose and snapped in and out of place - quite alarming when you have an 8 month old with exploring little fingers. This pushchair may look a la mode but if you want an all terrain vehicle this is not for you. We mostly use a baby carrier but on pram walks this just wasn't up to it. The pushchair is very bulky, the whole contraption wobbles and it creaks. Our ratings are as compared to the new pram.

I LOVE THIS PRAM!!!
I have a toddler and now a 7 month old baby. I used the Mura 3 with my first child- the carseat, hard carrycot and buggy seat and I am now using it with my 2nd baby. I also bought the footmuff and have been stopped many times from envious mums wanting their own.
I have had 1 puncture in the 3 years we've owned it and even then it wasn't a big deal as it comes with a pump or you can go to any petrol station and pump it up until you get home. I took it to a bike shop and they fixed it for

This pushchair is lovely and comfy, easy to use (if I can fold it down, anyone can - I am a total technophobe) and good value for money - especially from kiddicare.

However, I've been using it for 3 months and I'm on my 3rd puncture, which is a pain. Also, it's very wide - not great for getting round shops. I use it for the school run, for which it's ideal, but I could really do with another pushchair for shopping and in the car. Folded down it takes up the entire boot!

We love our mura 3, we bought it for our first baby and were quite nervous about what we were going to get for our money but it has been worth every penny.

We got the hard pram body to go with it and my daughter and I are out with it almost every day. We have had the pram up and down the beach and the large wheels work really well, we've not had and punctures yet.

It is a bit heavy and is quite large when folded unless you take the wheels off, but this is quick and easy to do. The pram body also collapses down to make it easy to cart around.

Sometimes getting the cabriofix car seat on to the chassis is a bit of a faff but my husband can do it with no problems so that's probably because I'm a bit short and can't see what I'm doing.

This is a comfy buggy but is quite big and heavy - not good for people living in flats!

We bought this buggy in October and have used it less than 20 times in and around town - never in the countryside, rutted paths etc and have had multiple punctures, at least 8.

We bought it from kiddiecare.com and have received terrible service from them as well. We would definately not reccomend either this buggy or kiddiecare.com

I am an American living in Europe, and all I can say is that I am quite impressed with the Maxi Cosi Mura.

Excited with my first child, I have tried many types of buggys, strollers, travel systems, and pushchairs, while residing in Europe. I am much amazed with the contemporary design, comfort, and versatility that most systems in Europe have, compared to the traditional American strollers (i.e. Graco, Eddie Bauer, Cosco, etc).

On my most recent stroller shopping spree, I was determined to purchase the Quinny Buzz, due to the recent popularity it has gained in the U.S, and because I was looking for a stroller that I could simply use as a travel system with my Maxi Cosi Infant seat.

However, while I was looking around, I was introduced to the Maxi Cosi Mura. Unaware of its features (due to that this product is not sold in the U.S.) I could not resist it's eye-catching design and therefore, decided to give it a try. I could only say, that personally I am quite impressed. I believe the comfort of the Mura is quite superior to the Buzz. I love how easily it collapses for storage, how easy you can remove the wheels, and simply how much of a quality stroller you can get with the Mura with much less money (compared to the price of the Buzz). The only 'con' I can find is just that it is 'slightly' heavier, however I believe that it is superior in child safety.

I am so glad I decided to purchase the Mura, and have finally decided to stop shopping for strollers. I found everything I wanted here!

Give it a try, you wont be dissapointed!

this pushchair is ace ..."
Competing with this pushchair are the quinny buzz, speedi sx, britax vigour+ and to a certain extent the bugaboo cameleon.

In my opinion this is the most innovatibe pushchair in a few years. It's quite chunky and retains pneumatic tyres all round which personally I prefer as they are much smoother.

It's best feature is probably the soft carry cot which fits easily onto the lie flat seat unit and costs about half as much as they usually do.

The folding mechanism takes a bit of getting used to but in compact mode it is pretty small - even with the big wheels.

If you are considering the buzz or any off-road travel system you should take a look at the Mura.

It's cheaper and takes all the best features of these other models.
