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).
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 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 actually bought the [**Maxi-Cosi Zelia Luxe 5-in-1 Modular Travel System**](https://www.babyenroute.com/products/maxi-cosi-zelia-luxe-5-in-1-modular-travel-system?utm_source=chatgpt.com) myself and have been really happy with it. Maxi-Cosi is a European brand, and IMO this is one of the best value options you can get in that category.
I managed to grab it at \~15% off, which made the value even better, but even at regular price it felt worth it for what you get. It’s a true travel system (stroller + infant car seat), has a bassinet mode, reversible seat, solid wheels, and I didn’t have to deal with adapters or mixing brands.
After using it, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something practical, well-designed, and not paying UPPAbaby-level prices just for the name. It’s been a great everyday setup for us.

I was actually deciding between the Maxi-Cosi Zelia and the Cybex EOS, and I ended up going with the Cybex. Personally, I felt the overall build quality and materials were much better.
The Zelia is definitely a bit cheaper, but to me it didn’t feel as solid or premium in person. Since a stroller is something you’ll probably use for 3–4 years, I didn’t want to deal with constant warranty claims or parts issues later on.
This is the one I went with:

YES this is 100% doable! Firstly, I always like to disclose that I'm a manager at Snuggle Bugz so my links and knowledge will come directly from there but it's just because my work stuff is what I know, but you can of course shop and buy from wherever works best for you! :)
Cybex EOS is an option:

Maxi Cosi Zelia is genuinely a huge crowd favourite, I love it personally but it's always such a great seller for us (and this bundle is a travel system so car seat + bassinet)

My genuine #1 fave for like, a great quality stroller but without all the fancy bells and whistles that drive up the price is Britax. Like as a brand I adore them, all of their products. The bassinet would be a separate purchase which would increase the price a bit but honestly these are my like #1 for more moderate priced gear. Brook, Grove, all great options.

We used the Maxi Cosi Zelia Max for like ten months and then the airline broke it during a flight, so we got a Baby Jogger City Mini to avoid having to check it, and now that it's snowy again we got a used Graco Jogger. We would be back to our Maxi Cosi if it hadn't been broken :/
I really wanted to avoid two strollers, and in the end we ended up with a Baby Jogger City Tour 2 for flying and for summer, and a Graco Click Connect that I got on Facebook marketplace for like 40 dollars. I found that heavier strollers can usually be found for pretty cheap online, most people want to get rid of them ASAP once they have no use for them anymore since they take up so much space! We initially had the Maxi Cosi Zelia Max which was amazing, it had a great bassinet function, it fit the car seat, and it was really easy to fold once it was in front facing mode, it was so sturdy and so light, but an airline broke it in a flight :') now I'm only taking my much cheaper City Tour on planes.

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
