We have this same one and are happy with it. Pushing and turning it is smooth and the easily collapsible like you said.
We have the maxi cosi zelia luxe and we’ve loved it for all sorts of weather. Folds down well enough (I drive a crosstrek so my trunk space is less than yours I believe) and came with compatible car seat and the stroller seat itself converts to a bassinet very easily. We felt it important to go luxe because bigger wheels and Quebec winters and so far so good. Under 1000$ and we get compliments on it often 😊
Haha anytime! My friend also has the same system and has no issues either! We both got the momcozy stroller caddy because the cup holder that comes with it is not super stable depending on the bottle/cup you put in it, and I would recommend getting it as it’s useful for storing all your little things (pacis, teethers, keys, phone, burp cloths, etc). Other than that it’s super easy to use and fold down, watching videos online of the fold down process etc is what sold me most.
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).
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!
Maxi cosi zelia luxe travel system. Has most of your requests except no 360 car seat, and the car seat is infant only. It’s a great system though! Big wheels that work for me in Alberta winters
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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.
