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

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.

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 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 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.

I'm not a fan of the Maxi Cosi. The car seat it comes with is big. The stroller itself is annoying to flip from back facing to front facing mode. It doesn't handle very well when the wheels are wet.

I went to West coast kids, they had the largest selection, so we could actually try things out that were in our price point. I feel like we should have gone for a slightly more expensive one that can transition to 2 babies as we will likely have a second child quite quickly. Overall I am happy with the stroller we got though! The staff was super helpful in directing us to strollers in our price range that were suitable for our intended walks. I live in a small town, with paved and gravel roads. We ended up with the maxi-cosi zelia 5in1 travel system. The infant car seat was easy to install in the car, and the bassinet converts into a toddler seat, so there are only 2 attachments which I like! Both the car seat and the bassinet/toddler seat can be forward or rear facing. The storage basket is large as well.

We got the Maxi Cosi ‘New Generation Zelia Luxe 5-in-1 Modular Travel System’ and it seems to fit all your criteria!

Maxicosi Zelia Luxe!! It has everything you could need and for the long haul. It includes an infant seat for taking baby to and from the car easily and into the stroller. Bassinet mode and turns into a regular seat for when baby is older. It comes with the adapters needed.

We have the Zelia luxe system and love it (our baby is 3 weeks old). Very easy to set up and fits great in our trunk (we have an HRV so not huge but not tiny). The car seat is a little big but still fits totally fine in our car and will likely last our LO longer than some of the more compact seats anyways so for us was worth it!
