Maxi-Cosi Coral Car Seat to Carrier From the car to the stroller, a great infant car seat is essential for toting your little one around safely. But even lightweight options can still feel bulky when you're lugging the seat (with the baby in it!) from place to place. Maxi-Cosi came up with a game-changing solution: a car seat that does double duty as a… carrier.

Mind. Blown.

The Coral™ XP is the first-ever integrated car seat and carrier. While it looks like a traditional infant car seat, a 5-pound removable carrier is "nested" inside the seat's outer shell. When you’re on the go and want to keep things light, simply push a button and use the retractable side handles to lift your kiddo out in a carrier, leaving the outer shell in the car or stroller. Pull the cross-body strap over your shoulder and you’re ready to go—with more freedom to use your hands. (Hurray!) Just like every beloved Maxi-Cosi product, the Coral XP meets and exceeds all government safety standards.

The Coral is all about giving parents flexibility, with four ways to carry—cross-body, handle, standard (when you remove the whole seat from the base), and stroller. So whether you’re running errands or carefully bringing a snoozing baby into the house, making moves is seamless.

Thanks to the Coral, the going doesn’t have to get tough.

  • I love This car seat so much! The detachable carrier feature is amazing. So light weight Jan 15, 2024

  • I absolutely LOVE the versatility of this seat. As a small framed person, the lightweight inner carrier portion is a game changer and the elastic straps are so nice to carry baby with! Mar 09, 2023

  • I love how easy this is to carry. I can sling it over my shoulder and carry my toddler at the same time! Everywhere I go people stop to ask me about it. Jan 18, 2023

    This main point of this car seat that sets it apart from others is the inner carrier. Is it worth it? For me 100x yes! I get a comment EVERYtime I have it in public “I NEED THAT car seat!” Oct 07, 2022

  • The car seat seem very safe but my baby looks so uncomfortable in it. The straps are very difficult to adjust and the baby cries everytime I put him in it. Also it is very heavy Sep 21, 2022

  • The ease of this seat is like no other! It was so light and the carry strap is a game changer! Wish I had this with baby #1! Aug 03, 2022

  • Had to submit a claim through its warranty because the shell was loose and not clipped onto some pins it had to be clipped on! I regret this purchase! Wish I would have gotten something safer. Jul 07, 2022

    It’s a bit heavy carrying it with the base but still really cool concept Mar 07, 2022

  • Took a while to figure out how to remove the inner carrier. Not compatible with many strollers. I wanted to use it with Vista but would need two different adapters. Jan 31, 2022

  • Had some quality issues at first and had to return two seats. I like the modular system, but wish the shoulder strap was easier to put on, while the car seat is in the car. Dec 13, 2021

  • Overall we really loved this car seat! It was so innovative and creative. Made transport 100% easier (until my son got too heavy for my to carry even the lightweight portion). Fantastic & recommend! Sep 26, 2021

  • This car seat is so cool! I love the secondary seat that pops out, and the shoulder strap to carry it with baby inside. The base has self-tightening UAS straps which work so well! Sep 13, 2021

  • This car seat is freaking awesome. Everywhere we go, at least one person always comments on how cool it is and how handy it is. The inner shell is a total game changer! Jun 26, 2021

  • We love these car seat so much May 27, 2021

  • Love, love, love this car seat! A game changer when running errands. A canopy would be nice like others suggested but after the hassle of the bulky infant car with my first 2 I'll take this any day! Feb 25, 2021

    Absolutely love this seat.The base is crazy easy to install and so secure. The ability to carry the car seat over your shoulder is a game changer! Feb 13, 2021

  • This is a game changer! I don’t know how I was able to survive before I got this car seat. The ability to cart my baby like a messenger bag is fantastic. Feb 09, 2021

  • Wow this car seat is AMAZING! Everything that you never knew you needed. It had made getting in and out of the house or running quick errands so much easier. My baby loves to nap in this car seat! Nov 18, 2020

  • We were gifted this off our registry and I LOVE how light the inner seat is! So easy to grasp the handles, and I look forward to carrying Baby on my hip in their seat. Plus it exceeds safety minimums! Oct 16, 2020

  • Love it, used it with my 2 kids and will use in future also Oct 02, 2020

  • The nesting system allows you to carry baby safely on your hip or you can take out the inner carrier that is only 5lbs and has super soft handles. It's such an innovative product! Got this to test out Sep 17, 2020

  • Although the inner shell is a good idea, the uses are limited because the inner shell doesn't have a canopy. Other negatives include low overall weight limit and very heavy when outer shell is used. Sep 14, 2020

  • So lightweight and easy to install. The carrying straps are genius. So much easier on my back and shoulders than any other infant car seat I've tried. It was a snap to install without lots of effort. Sep 12, 2020

  • I love the inner carrier and how light it is, it is so much easier carrying baby in that using just the two soft handles. Sep 12, 2020

  • I expected more at this price for this brand. There is zero padding for baby. You can’t buckle the inner shell into the car. The crossbody strap is awkward and rigid, difficult to carry. Sep 11, 2020
