We have the new maxi cosi zelia system. I think the mixed reviews are from an older version and they’ve since improved the wheel and shock system. Anyways our baby isn’t here yet lol but our test runs have all been great so far.
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!
We have the Maxi-Cosi and love it. I have a small SUV and the car seat fits but it is tight for whoever is sitting in front of it. Otherwise it’s great and love the stroller and bassinet
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.
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!
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 went with the maxicosi zelia ( which includes the car seat ) as well as the bassinet which adjusts to a toddler seat. It has great storage, the seat / bassinet adjusts to face parent or outside. I believe it also came with a rain cover as well. I didn't use it for daily walks in the winter/snow however the times it was used, I had no complaints with how it navigated.
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.
I had the zelia max, uppababy Cruze v2 and I’m now using an ergobaby metro 3. I loved the zelia! It was light, bassinet feature was amazing and it was a great deal when on sale for a travel system. It got damaged when I was on holiday and I got the Cruz which is easier to push but heavier for sure. So heavy I’ve just replaced it with the new metro stroller. I say get the zelia, it was beautiful in black and felt premium. I got it from Nordstrom before they vanished and it was absolutely worth it. People compare the zelia to uppababy which I don’t think is fair. It’s better than Graco but not as good as uppababy and it’s priced where it belongs. This sub swears by certain brands like uppababy, baby bjorn, woolino etc and it’s honestly not that deep.
Maxi Cosi Zelia! Has everything you will ever need and is a good range price wise. Love the bassinet option and the wheels are strong. My 9 month old loves it since the start!
I have the Maxi Cosi Zelia and LOVE it! But we’ve only been using it for 4 months now. No issues with the wheels, although I also read those posts before buying and was a bit nervous. Here’s what I love about it: The handlebar height is easily adjustable. It also feels nice. The fact that it comes with a newborn car seat that fits into the stroller has made our lives extremely easy. The bassinet feature lays truly flat and is nice and roomy so I imagine I’ll be able to use it for quite a while. It’s super easy to fold up and is pretty compact when folded. I get compliments on it all the time. The bottom is quite roomy. The stroller also handles really well. Like it’s a really smooth ride. I was worried about the cup holder because I saw other complaints about it, but it’s so easy to put on and take off. I just leave it off unless I’m planning to use it. Or I put my phone in it. If the Luxe model was available when we purchased our stroller I 100% would have bought that! Because this version already feels so luxe, I can only imagine how nice that version would be! The only thing I don’t love about it is that I sometimes find the infant car seat straps difficult to adjust (loosen and tighten), but I’m not sure if that’s just how infant car seat straps are. It’s not a dealbreaker by any means. It also does feel really nice and safe, thankfully. And my big/tall 4month old is still fitting comfortably in it (we’ve adjusted to the biggest settings now). The only other thing I didn’t consider when buying it was that it’s not really meant for trails. I live in BC and I tried to go on a gravel trail and it was not good. Like just too bumpy. But I think that’s any stroller that’s not designed for off-road/trails. So I’m considering getting a second stroller just for that (something like a Thule). Happy to answer any other questions you might have about this stroller!
