Maxi-Cosi - Zelia² Luxe 5-in-1 Modular Travel System

We have this same one and are happy with it. Pushing and turning it is smooth and the easily collapsible like you said.

Not OP but I have the exact same system! No issues with the car seat- the canopy can be a little awkward to fully extend, but I think that’s most car seats. The only downer is how little it lasts (up to 30 pounds or a certain length).

Yes, the stroller marker it insanely overwhelming. I had no idea how complicated it all was before I got pregnant! We went to west coast kids to check some out in person and left empty handed, feeling extremely overwhelmed. In the end we decided on a travel system - we bought the maxi cosi “new generation Zelia”

Maxi cosi zelia - the newest version is amazing! Mixed reviews are from the old version.

We love it! They redesigned it as of February and made the shock better and wheels bigger. It’s the only stroller we have and I’m not sure we’ll even end up getting a non-travel system since this has everything we need!

Maxi cosi zelia luxe. Bonus is that it comes with an infant car seat. I’m in Alberta and this stroller is a workhorse, it has such a smooth ride, comes with everything you could need. We used the bassinet function for the first 2.5 months of baby’s life and then converted it. We’ve also traveled with it twice. Includes car seat converter, cup holder, rain cover, winter cover. And it’s pretty!

I am constantly recommending the maxi cosi zelia luxe system. Fits all your criteria. Great wheels, the bassinet function is great, includes car seat, I have had zero issues.

We bought this too!! We received ours and it’s fantastic so far

Ooooh I can chime in!! We just bought the maxi cosi New Generation Zelia system and we LOVE IT. We live just outside of Edmonton so snowy conditions was a huge factor in our decision. I also want to point out that this system seems to have been revamped in January 2025. I saw some unfavorable reviews about the wheels in the earlier versions, but it seems that Maxi Cosi revamped the wheels in this system and they seem excellent so far for us. There weren’t many reviews about this new version, but we took a chance and ordered it anyways and we’re so glad. It’s truly an all in one system - bassinet, toddler seat, world or parent facing, and even comes with the infant car seat!! Plus it looks really chic in my opinion. I think we paid around $700 or so during west coast kids sale, but I’ve seen it go on sale on Amazon too.

Yeah we were worried about reviews on the old tires, but the one we got is the newer and the tires are great! They seem quite similar to the ones on the Uppa. The back wheels are big and sturdy. No squeaking and the suspension seems good. So far, so good basically!

I absolutely love our [Maxi Cosi Zelia travel system.](https://a.co/d/8RVygsj). My baby has logged so many hours napping in this thing in carrycot mode. Like… I’m talking 2+ hours a day most days for the last 5 months.

I just went into West Coast Kids this weekend and bought a Maxi Cosi Zelia travel system for, I think it was, $720. It seems they’re the same price ordered from Amazon or a few other places that have them. It really seemed like the best value after a few months of research, and we went to West Coast Kids because there’s a store nearby that would let us see the pieces in person and make sure the car seat fit in my husband’s truck. It hasn’t delivered yet, but so far, so good!

We got the maxi cosi and I really like it. I will say that the car seat base that comes with doesn’t have a load leg. It’s still totally safe, but we ordered a second base from their website and it’s just a bit nicer to install. I haven’t used the uppababy cruz but I did look at in the store and it didn’t feel worth the extra cost, but I have friends who love theirs.

I’ve only used it a hand full of times but so far so good! My baby is only 8 weeks and it’s not been good weather for outdoor walks

We did go into a store to look at them but besides attempting to fold one up, we never bothered lifting any of the components. I ended up getting the Maxi Cosi Zelia 5-in-1 car seat and stroller and while it did the job, that freaking thing was HEAVY. Especially the car seat. Lugging that into the store for a quick run, or even to/from a restaurant for ex, was a pain in the ass. And the sun protection cover extended right under the handle (flush) so if it was up all the way, which it often was, it made carrying more of a pain. In a perfect world I probably would have sprung for an all terrain type so I could have gone for walks in the winter or even on gravel with ease.

I really enjoyed my Maxi Cosi Zelia Max 2 system. You get the base, car seat and stroller frame with the reversible bassinet/seat. It fit my daughter up until around 3 before she got too long for it and by that point it wasn't really needed anyways.

We went with the Maxi Cosi Zelia 2 at the time. It was great because the stroller has multiple adjustments as well as the car seat attachment, the car seat itself and the car base. Around 2yrs I considered an umbrella stroller but never got around to it. We only recently stopped using the Maxi for long outings earlier this year and she's 3. As long as you get a full sized stroller and not something compact like the Doona you should be fine. Also keep in mind where you live city/suburban/countryside, if you even travel on foot often, are you always in a car, are you one kid and wait or aiming for back to back, etc.

I have the maxi-cosi luxe and have been using for three months now. We use it all the time. The bassinet is fantastic for taking the little one out and about and having him sleep in it. The bucket car seat fits in my mid-size SUV and keeps him comfortable. The stroller seems to hold up well folding and putting in the trunk of my car.

Have been using the maxi Cosi for 9 weeks now! So far so good. I love that is super easy to collapse and very light to get into the car! Only negative is there is not a lot of space under the stroller for storage. The fabric isn’t very flexible either so it’s hard to get things in and out of the bottom.

We just ordered this! For months I had been stuck on getting an Uppababy Cruz, Nuna Mixx, or a Bugaboo stroller. While my husband was happy to get whatever o wanted or would make me happy, the more and more I thought about it the more and more I realized spending $2k plus on stroller, bassinet attachment, and car seat was nuts (for us at least - we live in the suburbs and will only be using the stroller for path/park walks during the spring/summer/fall). I didn’t want a massive stroller either, and we have a beautiful Baby Bjorn bedside bassinet, another bassinet a friend has offered us, a pack and play that has a bassinet, and both sets of in of parents have taken it upon themselves to buy basic things like bassinets, pack and plays, etc for when we are over as well. Other than for the sole purpose of walks I would have no need for the bassinet attachment and seemed like a massive waste of money for us. I tried out my friends Maxi Cosi that is a year old because I had read mixed reviewed and I was honestly so surprised by how smooth and easy it was to use - lighter than any of the other strollers too like the Cruz by 5lbs. Just ordered the Zelia Luxe travel system and it should be here this week!

I was team Uppababy for the longest time and was ready to shell out 2k+ for a stroller, car seat, and bassinet - don’t get me wrong they are GORGEOUS…but a few weeks ago I was just like…am I seriously considering this?! My husband was more than happy to still get one and just wanted me to be happy, but I just couldn’t justify the total costs and would much rather spend money on other things. We ended up going with the Maxi Cosi Zelia travel system, and we are SO happy with it right now! Easy to set up, the car seat and stroller is light, we’ve tested it outside and it rides smooth…and it was $900 for everything! I wouldn’t let the reviews totally change your mind if it’s still one you’re considering.
