Simple Stroller, smooth ride, but a few cons
July 13, 2019
We received the Zelia Max 5-in-1 free through WeeSpring Parent Panel. Overall, we really like this travel system but have pros and cons. PROS: -stylish - we really love the look of this stroller -smooth ride - the stroller just glides so smoothly and it was so easy to maneuver. -compact storage - the stroller folds really compact which is nice because we just leave it in our car - lightweight - the frame is so lightweight which makes it so easy to carry and fold. It seems pretty sturdy too. - Love that the bassinet turns into a seat. That's probably our favorite feature that the whole stroller is essentially 3 pieces (bassinet, frame, infant car seat) but it's so versatile. CONS: -we struggled a little bit getting our newborn into the car seat. She is average size the straps were kind of hard to loosen or tighten. - something we don't love is that you have to detach the seat/bassinet to fold the stroller. It's like building your stroller each time you use it. (It's pretty easy to click in, just a little tedious that you have to take it a part after each use to store it. - the wheels actually stuck out a little wide for tight urban spaces. We live in a city and there are a lot of tight spaces in stores, restaurants, and busy side walks and we noticed the stroller is a little wider than we would have liked. We do like this stroller a lot and think it's a really great casual stroller.

A good option with some caveats
July 13, 2019
The Pros: The look of the stroller and car seat is great, love that all the fabric is machine washable. The material feels nice and there is padding in all of the right places. I also love the color, Nomad Black. The stroller is *super* lightweight which. The car seat and base are really light which is a major plus. Converting the stroller seat from bassinet to seat was fairly simple. It is nice to have one seat to keep track of instead of separate pieces. The car seat was very easy to install with the latch system and would be really easy to install and uninstall as needed. One of my favorite details about this stroller is that it comes with a cup holder! As the mom of an infant, my water or my coffee are never far out of reach and I need the same to be true when I am out and about with my little! The Cons: I live in a rainy climate and the shade on the car seat is a very thin material, I don't know how well it would hold up in the rain. I also struggled to keep the back of it in place, it kept slipping and dragging behind, however the front of the shade clicked in to place nicely. Though I love how light the stroller is, I did have a hard time getting it folded. After a few tries I was able to figure it out but it is more of a two hand process to get everything situated in the closed position. To install the car seat in the stroller you have to use adapters, another thing to keep track of. I drive a compact car and the installed car seat is quite deep. It fit fine in the car but I did need to keep the front seat pushed pretty far forward. TL/DR: Biggest plus is the machine washable fabric and super lightweight stroller and car seat. Biggest con, a little clunky to close and car seat is on the bulky side. The price point is super reasonable for what all you are getting with the system. I would recommend this travel system with the caveats pointed out above! Thank you to the WeeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this travel system to test out and review!

Good look and feel with a few missed opportunities
July 13, 2019
I am a mother of two, a 3 year old and a newborn. For our newborn, we have been looking for a good travel system and the Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System checks nearly all our boxes! The pieces seem to be of high quality, great fabrics, aesthetically pleasing, and sturdy. Right out of the box there is not much to install. The most difficult part to put together was attaching the hood on the stroller seat. We love that the seat converts from bassinet to stroller seat without any additional pieces. The car seat install was easy in theory, however, I cannot figure out why there isn't a built-in leveling device. The line on the seat is not enough and very disappointing for installation. We used our own level to be sure to get a good install. Our newborn seemed very comfortable in the car seat. It is very light which has been great for moving him around and placing the seat in the stroller. He also enjoyed the bassinet setting in the stroller. My only complaint about the bassinet is that it seems to have a little play when it is flat. When the seat is reclined any other way it seems tighter and to have little or no movement. Moving between configurations is relatively simple, but does require two hands. The stroller rolls very nicely and we appreciate the height adjustment on the handle. The basket underneath is generous and the frame feels sturdy. Everything folds relatively easily, however, lifting it can be tricky as the handle is not apparent. Additionally, I appreciate that there is a belly bar but a snack holder for the rider and a tray for belongings or a sturdier cup holder is needed for the adult pushing as well. These are near necessities that are missing. Overall, the Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System is a good upper-end setup. There are some opportunities for improvement, but still a great overall value. We are pleased with the functionality and plan to use it as our newborn grows. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Travel System.

Solid Travel System
July 13, 2019
I think that the Maxi Cosi Zelia Max Travel System is a solid choice for a travel system. Using the car seat and toddler seat with the stroller base was very easy and switching between the two was very simple. We preferred to use the stroller base with the car seat. I did try using the toddler seat with my 19 month old (very average height) and his head was nearly at the top of the seat so I'm not sure how long you would really be able to use the seat into toddlerhood. The car seat is very light weight and easy to carry and put into a car or the stroller. I did not love the shade of the carseat as it didn't go down very far and didn't stay pulled down very well. The car seat installs very quickly using the latch system. The car seat goes in and out of the stroller and base easily. The overall ease of tear down coupled with the light weight of the system make this a good combination for traveling with an infant. High marks as a travel system, some slight improvements could see this used every day. Both my infant and 19 month old enjoyed riding in the car seat in the two seating options. The look and feel of the fabric was very nice and definitely gave it the look and feel of a more expensive stroller.

Great stroller! AMAZING car seat!
July 13, 2019
I was given this travel system as part of WeeSpring Parent Panel. I was so excited to try this as I have been seeing more and more about the Maxi-Cosi strollers and car seats. I was even more excited to try the Maxi-Cosi Zelia 5-in-1 travel stroller because I love anything that will decrease the amount of baby stuff. I have Uppa Vista and while traveling I use Contours Bitsy so my review is comparing it to those. The car seat is amazing! It is big and luxe but SO SO light and the handle seems super ergonomic. The attachments intimidated me at first but they were a cinch to use to attach to the stroller. I had been using the Mesa from Uppa Baby and it is SO heavy and my son gets so hot in it and turns pink and sweaty. Not at all the case with the Maxi-Codi mica30 infant car seat. The fabric is so much more breathable. It is soooo easy to install! The LATCH system really made it a breeze. And if using it for quick Uber rides the seatbelt option for security is also really user friendly. I will definitely be recommending this to any pregnant women (family, friends, strangers, anyone!). The Zulia stroller is huge! It almost seemed bigger than the Vista. The under basket is enormous! I was shocked and expecting a much smaller stroller more similar to the bitsy baby. And it comes with a cup holder! Amazing! so easy to put together. I loved that the bassinet and the rumble seat are the same part! (No need to store either when not using-AMAZING!) They really thought of everything. Like the car seat, the padding is generous and easy to adjust and clean. also very breathable like car seat. The bassinet/seat are very secure and very easy to adjust between the two positions. My son is 6 months so didn't use the bassinet (but it is one my favorite parts of the stroller and wished I had this when he was smaller!). I loved this! Just a little bigger than I like for travel so docked a star, but will def be recommending this as everyday option that can be used for travel! Loved it

Amazingly user friendly!
July 13, 2019
Pros: Assembly was a snap! I was able to put the whole thing together without instructions in 5 minutes. it rolled over even the gnarliest sidewalks with ease! I can definitely push it one handed. I love the flexibility of the different configurations. It's simple to switch between the bassinet/toddler seat, although you do need separate attachments for the infant seat. I really like the bumper bar on the bassinet/toddler seat; it unclicks on the sides so you can raise it to easily extract your little one. The leather bar and parent handle have a lux feel and my taller husband appreciated the telescoping handle. The sunshades on the bassinet/toddler seat as well as the car seat are quite large. I was so excited when I saw how large the basket was under the stroller. I was even able to use it for a trip to the grocery store! The Toddler seat/bassinet fabrics are high quality and plush. There is a ton of padding both in the car seat and the stroller seat. The bassinet is impressively roomy - kind of wished I could take a nap in it 😜! We used the latch system to install the seat, which can be the bane of your parental existence! Much to my surprise, we got a very tight install with minimal effort. Phew! It was a snap to level it as well. Once the base was installed, the seat is very easy to take in and out. Cons: The stroller is large, however I on par with other travel systems. Despite that, it feels remarkably light weight. I could easily lift the components into my trunk. Needing attachments to use the infant seat is less than ideal, however they are very simple and quick to install and uninstall. Pros: - Easy assembly, and transition between the configurations. - Smooth ride, easy to push one handed - Large under basket - High quality fabrics - seat base is easy to install Cons: - large size - separate attachments to use the infant seat with the stroller Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product

Very good travel system
July 13, 2019
This is a very good travel system! It's not perfect, but the best that I have tried so far. I loved the functionality and adaptability. It's so quick and easy to pop the infant carseat in and out especially. The toddler seat is also very nice and I appreciate that I can fully fold up the stroller with the toddler seat attached in the forward-facing position. Both my 6mo and almost 3yo daughters seemed to find it comfy. It was simple to install the base in the car and I liked the anti-rebound bar. The materials were stylish, comfy, and durable, which I really liked! The sleek design of the system, adaptability, and the toddler seat that converted to a bassinet all made this system shine. However, there were a few minor oversights that keep me from giving 5 stars: 1) the stroller cannot be folded flat with the toddler seat in the parent-facing position, although I love that it can when facing forward; 2) the cup holder extends beyond the footprint of the stroller and gets bumped into easily, as well as often falls off when stroller is folded up; 3) the carseat takes up a lot of space with the base in a car...we can't fit it behind the driver's seat in our SUV because my husband can't fit his legs in the car when the seat is adjusted to fit it...I like that the height allowance is taller than others and that this seat has the anti-rebound safety features, but I wish we could comfortably fit in our car with it; 4) the quality sometimes falls a little short, namely in the wiggly handlebars of both the stroller and carseat and the loose cupholder. There are so many great features in this system, including the adaptability, premium materials, toddler seat/bassinet, safety features, large storage space, sleek design, etc., and I would recommend this system to new parents! If the issues would be fixed or are not a big deal to you, then I would say this is a near-perfect travel system. I received this product to review as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Really wanted to love it
July 13, 2019
I was given this Travel System to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. I was excited because a) it's really stylish and b) I knew I could buy an adapter and use the car seat with a double stroller I already own. Unboxing the travel system I was pleased. The stroller was easily assembled. When using the stroller with the infant car seat you have to use adapters. Both the car seat and the stroller are the same brand, so I can't understand why they did not design both to use the same attachments. Also, to remove the car seat from the stroller you have to use these side buttons instead of the more handy lever in the back (used for removing from the car seat base). If you went as far as to make adapters for the car seat to be used on the stroller, I would think you'd use the same removal method for both the car seat base and the stroller. Poor design. The car seat is very attractive & lightweight. However, the canopy makes a loud clicking noise when you adjust it (hello, not great with a sleeping baby) and sags rather than holding the fabric taut. The car seat manual is poorly written. It stresses that the infant insert must be used for children who weigh 4-5 lbs, but has a section on harness adjustments for "smaller infants" and never defines a smaller infant! Totally unclear! My biggest complaint: there is NO LEVEL/recline angle indicator on the side of the base! You have to literally get out a level to check and see if the car seat is installed right. It's a joke. The reassurance alone from the recline angle indicator on nearly every other car seat base is enough for me to not choose this car seat. The car seat feels very rickety when clicked into the base and there's too much give in my opinion. I gave it 3 stars because I believe it's safe and my complaints are really from a convenience standpoint as a parent of multiple kids who has tried several travel systems. This is certainly not the best design out there and I would not recommend it to a first time mom.

Great Multi-Use Stroller
July 13, 2019
I received this stroller to review from the Weespring Parent Panel. I was very excited to receive it, because I have never had a stroller with a bassinet feature before. Honestly, it wasn't something that I thought I needed. What makes this stroller different is that the bassinet is not a separate attachment. The regular seat and the bassinet is the SAME part, and you very simply adjust a buckle to go back and forth. My son is 5 months old, if I had a stand-alone bassinet attachment, I would not be using it, but since I can go back and forth between seat and bassinet I have found that I use it constantly! He naps in the bassinet if we are out and about, and when he wakes up I can put the seat back up. I also love that the seat can be parent facing or facing outward. The sunshade is nice and big, love that! The only downside to this travel system is that I did not find the directions very user-friendly. I had to look up a YouTube video, which was very helpful. I also wish more of the functions were one-handed, such as the recline buttons. The infant car seat seems great so far, very easy to install. The fabric is very nice. It goes in and out of the stroller very easy.

Great material and maneuvering
July 13, 2019
I was excited to receive this product as part of the WeeSpring Parent Panel. The flexibility and adaptability of this system is very appealing! That part of this travel system does not disappoint as it has so many configurations and easily transitions from car seat to stroller to toddler stroller. The adaptors were initially a little cumbersome but I quickly got used to them. Additionally installation took some time but was fairly easy to follow. The material is my favorite part - the car seat pads and stroller seat are so soft and comfortable. The stroller handle made from "vegan leather" (lol) is ridiculously smooth and nice. I also love how large the sunshade cover is compared with other seats I have used. It maneuvers like a dream and my baby loved riding in it. I did try to put my larger toddler (36lb) in the seat, however, and he literally said "mommy I don't fit" so I would say great system and seat for infants and smaller kids but dont expect it to grow with your kid too much!

Okay for my 4 month old but not so good for my 2 year old
July 13, 2019
When our new Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System arrived I was so excited to open the box and start strolling! However, I was thrown off by the extremely strong new sneaker smell. I had never experienced a baby product smelling that bad so that was slightly disappointing. The good thing is the seat cushions can be washed, which is so important (for future spills!) and a fews days of airing out helped with the odor. But please be warned, I would wash all the removable fabric before using this with an infant. I placed my four month old in the stroller to give it a quick test indoors, and his clothes smelled when I picked him up! Yuck. Moving on from the smell and outside for our first stroller ride, my two year old was cramped in the stroller, her legs were bent and she could not take her usual nap. Another major problem I found was changing the position from resting to up right. You have to squeeze the two side buttons and lift at the same time and I found that incredibly hard to do with my two year old. However, when I placed my four month chubby little nugget in it, he fell fast asleep for one of his longest naps to date!! I think this stroller is perfect for small babies, perhaps newborns to 1 year old. Some pros include, the cupholder and large storage basket. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this stroller to try and review.

very versatile and stylish
July 13, 2019
We found the Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System is extremely versatile. It was designed in a way that made it very intuitive to put together, take apart, and fold up -- the buttons and latches almost exactly where you would expect them. We have a month-old little girl and have made good use of the bassinet configuration for strolls around the neighborhood (we live in Louisiana, so the bassinet is the coolest setup for our baby in the summer heat). Our daughter was snug, secured, and slept the whole time. The car seat was also very easy to install in the car, looking much like the standard latches we've seen on other car seat bases. We liked the bounce-back restraint on the base to keep is snug in the seat. The system has not had the best crash rating reviews (good but not the best), so we will likely not make it our go-to car seat for our infant. The materials feel high end, with pseudo-leather grips, nice-looking shades, and light weight metal structures. The stroller base seems sturdy for being very light, but that may be because its wheel are set pretty wide. The stroller did feel pretty large overall, so it may not fit well in tight mud rooms or small apartments. Because we like running, our tendency is to keep the running strollers out, so this stroller will likely need to stay folded up more than sitting out. The front stroller wheels can either be locked to point forward or fully rotate around 360 degrees for tight turns. There are small latched behind the front wheels to change between those functions. Overall, this is a stylish and very versatile system for a newborn/small child. It feels sturdy and well-built . It may not be our daily first choice stroller due to our jogging habits, and we would like to see better crash test ratings, but it's certainly an intuitive, lightweight, and simple system for getting around town.

Good value for the price
July 13, 2019
This is a very good travel system for the price. Before this, I was using a travel system that cost almost twice as much. This system is much lighter weight, which is a huge plus for me. The car seat is well padded and extremely easy to get on and off the stroller, which makes it a pleasure to use. It has good maneuverability and adequate storage space below the carriage for bags. I also love that it has a cup holder included and that the car seat cover is so easy to detach and wash. The car seat itself is a little small, so I'm not sure how long it will last for my big baby. But that is an issue for most infant seats. However, this system calls itself "luxe" and, compared to my other one, it is not, although it is much less expensive. The fabrics are cheaper feeling, and I feel like the system overall is not quite as sleek looking. Also the wheels are not high quality rubber, but hard plastic. Still, it's a good value for the price. I received this Travel System from the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Chic yet functional travel system with lots of possibilities
July 13, 2019
I received the Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel. The assembly of the stroller was pretty straightforward, thanks to the clear instruction manual. I was able to put it together quickly and without much trouble. I was immediately impressed by the look and feel of the fabric and by how sturdy yet lightweight each piece was. Once put together, I thought the stroller looked beautiful. The details on the handlebar and the color and quality of the fabric were beautiful. The stroller folded as easily as promised, and I had no trouble transporting it. The stroller was also wonderfully compact when folded. I've only used the stroller with the bassinet feature thus far since my little one is only 10 weeks old. I also plan to try it out with my older son eventually, and was pleased to learn that the bassinet and regular seat were one in the same piece, and could be transitioned with only a few steps. The ride of the stroller was very smooth and the brake and wheel swivel features were easy to figure out. My little one isn't thrilled to be in a stroller in general, but he enjoyed his ride. The only downsides to the bassinet are that the bassinet rocks a bit even when locked in place, and I can't figure out of it's a design flaw or if it's intentional. As a result, the bassinet sort of slants (with the end that my little one's head is in slanting downward). My other main concern in the summer heat is that the canopy doesn't seem very airy or breathable, but this is compensated for with some hidden mesh paneling. Still, I hesitate to keep my little one in this stroller for a long time in the hot sun and will explore whether Maxi Cosi offers a more summer friendly sun shade/canopy. Still, the coverage the canopy offers is excellent. I am also thrilled that it has such a large and accessible basket underneath the seat as another stroller I own is lacking in this area.

Overall great travel system
July 13, 2019
Thank you weespring for providing my family with this travel system to review! With having both a two year old and a newborn (6 weeks), I'm definitely looking for things to simplify our crazy lives. The system is very attractive with quality fabrics and finishes. It looks like strollers that cost significantly more. I especially liked that the fabrics are easily machine washable! The car seat can be installed with and without the base making it easy to go between cars. The base itself was easy to install and the car seat wasn't too heavy making it easy to maneuver and click in and out of the base. The stroller isn't huge which is nice. It fits well in the back of my small SUV with room to spare for other things. Having an all in one system is extremely important to us as we don't have a ton of room and we like everything we buy to be multifunctional. I liked that the stroller could be used with the car seat (I love the convenience of taking baby straight out of the car and into the stroller, no moving them!) and I love that the seat also doubles as a bassinet and there is no need to buy and store a separate piece. The canopy is huge a such a nice feature especially in the sunny/hot summer days! The negatives for me were the plastic wheels and frame (but this does keep the stroller on the lighter side). Another possible negative is the size of the stroller seat, my two year old isn't huge and I felt like she didn't have a ton of room to grow. Overall this is a fantastic stroller system and the price is great (you'll easily spend 2x the cost of this system with other brands).

Affordable stroller with luxury feel
July 13, 2019
Travel systems can be a hit or miss and this gem is definitely a hit! The car seat itself is amazing with top level comfort and safety in mind the base is super quick and easy to install and my little guy enjoyed every minute in it my only complaint is that the canopy is not very full coverage and is hard to open and close but that's only a small issue. I love that the car seat comes with additional padding for smaller babies that are easily removed for use with bigger babies and the material the seat is made of feels soft and luxurious. Attaching the car seat to the stroller only involves two adapters that come with the system and make quick trips out a breeze but for longer days the seat for the stroller is absolute perfection, it lays completely flat so baby can snooze and lounge comfortably all day and can be converted to a toddler seat very easily making it the perfect transitional item. The seat can also be facing in towards you or out toward the world giving you lots of options. The stroller itself is very easy to maneuver and glides over everything from smooth mall walks to gravel and grass. Folding the stroller can be a challenge at first it takes a few times to get used to getting the fold just right so that the stroller will stand on its own but once you do it's a smaller fold than most strollers and easy to load in and out of my large SUV and small sedan. Additional features like adjustable handles for tall or short parents, leather accessories and easy lock and unlock controls make this feel like a very high quality stroller for an affordable price and it exceeds my expectations I would absolutely recommend this travel system to a new mom and I thank the WeeSpring parenting panel for giving me the opportunity to try it and love it.

Stroller with lots of options
July 13, 2019
The Zelia 5-in-1 Modular Travel System has a LOT of features. I'll highlight the pros and cons of most of the features to hopefully help other moms make the best purchasing decision. There are 5 configurations you can use for the stroller: rear or forward facing in carriage mode, rear facing car seat mode, rear or forward facing regular seat mode. I originally liked the idea of having a carriage, however my little one did not like this since he has acid reflux and the carriage has to be completely flat when in use. If you need to have several different seating positions then this would be a good choice. I however felt there were too many seating options for my needs. Also, tightening and loosening the straps on the seat were difficult. The "vegan leather" and the fabric choices do look very nice and sophisticated, which is the style I prefer. However, the vegan leather did feel a little cheap to me and I'm worried about the durability over long term use. The fabric feels thick and I love that the pieces are machine washable. They were simple to remove when I tested how to remove them. The stroller is easy to open and close, which is awesome for a mom on the go. It is pretty wide across the rear wheels. The wheels are plastic, so this is really just a get around town stroller, you'll need a different stroller for jogging. The car seat was easy to install, I love that most car seats have the latch system now. The base seems very safe and sturdy and it was easy to latch the car seat in to the base and remove it as well. It was also pretty simple to attach to the stroller. Total assembly time was just over an hour. The instructions were mostly pretty clear and I was able to assemble it on my own. Thank you Wee Spring Parent Panel for letting me try out this stroller!

Lightweight Travel System for Infants
July 13, 2019
The Zelia Max 5 in 1 Travel System has many positives, including being extremely lightweight (both the carrier and the stroller), having very soft fabrics, and many versatile options depending on how you want your baby to be seated. The bassinet feature would be a great feature to have for younger infants and the large basket underneath is great for storing all the items a baby might need. I wanted to love this travel system whole-heartedly, but there were several factors that made it not the right fit for our family. The car seat was extremely lightweight but the bar is at an angle that makes it difficult to carry. The mesh canopy on the car seat is very soft, but doesn't provide as much coverage from the elements as I would prefer. The stroller works very well but again has strange angles for both the seat and the canopy that made it more difficult to use. Overall, I think this is a terrific travel system and would work great for a smaller infant; it just didn't fit the needs of our very chunky 6 month old. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Travel System to try out.

Great quality but heavy
July 12, 2019
Love the material! Makes it extra sleek and stylish. However for it to be a travel system it was a bit on the bulky heavy side. Navigating through every day errands is doable, but not sure how I would feel about actually traveling with it. Although it might not be the most comfortable system I do love the sturdiness of it. Very well made and it will last2-3 kids. Functionality wise the clip on feature from the car base to the stroller is smooth and the bassinet can be turned into a toddler seat with ease. It can also be folded in half (see pic) for easier carrying. OVERALL would recommend to others and would buy if in need of a stroller.

Luxury Looks, Low Price Tag
July 12, 2019
Car Seat Pros: Looks like a luxury car seat. Breeze to install with Latch. Included infant head support is a huge plus. Baby looked very comfortable with his head supported upright vs. falling to one side. (tested with a 4 wk old) Straps are easy to tighten and re-threading the harness is relatively simple. Cons: Canopy is a pain to open. You need to firmly pull on each side to 'click' it in to place (not exactly ideal when you're in a hurry or have full hands). Takes two hands to remove car seat out of stroller. There are grey buttons on each side of the car seat near the handle that both need to be depressed in order to release the seat from the stroller. You need to push one button down while lifting upward, then switch hands to do the other side. It was OK with my tiny baby, but I can't imagine it once baby gets bigger. Stroller Pros: Leather handle is a splurge feature. Canopy is huge when fully extended. Flipping from bassinet to upright seat is easy once you get the hang of it. Reclining the seat was simple. A HUGE plus is being able to buckle baby into the bassinet. When babies are small, they can really roll around in those things if not restrained. Fold was SO SIMPLE, and support bar made it convenient to carry. Overall it's incredibly lightweight and easy to maneuver. Cons: Re-threading the harness for a taller child was a HUGE pain. You need to reach up under a flap in the back with one hand, and blindly grasp for the part of the buckle you are pushing through from the front. Storage basket is difficult to access. The back isn't large enough to throw a diaper bag in without squishing it in, which is problematic when using the toddler seat because the front becomes inaccessible. Overall, if your top priority is design, and you want a sleek looking product without breaking the bank, this travel system is for you. Just be willing to give up some luxury features. Thank you to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this travel system.

Jack of All Trades!
July 12, 2019
My husband and I were extremely picky when it came to picking out a travel system for our first baby. We needed something that would function on big city errands, walks around the neighborhood, and camping trips in the mountains. We had yet to find a stroller we absolutely loved, until we received this stroller to try out as a part of the Weespring Parent Panel! Right out of the box, it was extremely easy to assemble and we quickly learned all the ways to use our new stroller. We call it "the transformer" as it goes from folded up in the car to snapping in the carrier or big kid seat, facing forward, backward, or even into a bassinet in a breeze! My baby has a strong dislike for car seats, but he loves sitting upright and facing us for walks and errands. We show it off to our friends all the time, they are always amazed at how it goes from an upright position to a completely flat bassinet in seconds. The infant carrier and stroller seat are luxe! We previously owned the older version of this same car seat, and were surprised to see what a huge improvement they made in the fabrics. The new version is a combination of super soft memory foam like cushions with a sturdier knit that looks great and will definitely age well. The stroller seat, as well, is so cozy and my little guy (who previously only wanted to be held), loves sitting in it! The straps sit well on him, and the canopy shades as much or as little as the situation calls for. The only aspect I wish was different about the Zelia are the wheels and suspension. We just returned from a week in the mountains and it did great over dirt, gravel, grass, and even mud. But it is definitely not a smooth ride through rugged terrain. That said, the Zelia Max 5 in 1 is the most versatile and easy to use travel system I have ever seen. Extremely easy to change into all configurations in a pinch. This is the stroller I recommend to all my pregnant friends!

Perfect luxury snap and go travel system!
July 12, 2019
The Zelia Max 5-in-1 is the perfect snap and go travel system I didn't even know I was looking for! I received this system as part of the WeeSpring Parent Panel to review and was excited to give it a try as I've tried just about every other luxury stroller and travel system on the market. The Zelia is SO lightweight and the fabric is so soft and supple - my son LOVED his new car seat and I can't believe that I've gone 6 months lugging around his old car seat without the ease of the snap and go stroller! I take it with me everywhere now. The stroller itself works wonderfully with the car seat (with included adaptors) and also has a bassinet/seat combo. My son is slightly older, so we used it in the "stroller" mode. My two year old daughter also enjoyed riding in the stroller. So versatile! The undercarriage basket is HUGE which is perfect for my diaper bag and additional items I haul around. I also loved the vegan leather handlebar - a luxury touch that made pushing the stroller a breeze. The generously sized sunshade also made use of the Zelia in the summer heat in Carolina so much more bearable. The car seat itself was easy to install into my car with the LATCH system. At first, I had a difficult time taking the car seat out of the car until I realized you just have to lift straight up (without tilting), and then it was breeze. The fabric is also machine washable and so easy to remove! A necessity for this newborn and infant days of spit up and blowouts. As I mentioned at the beginning, I didn't even know I NEEDED this travel system and now I can't imagine traveling around without it. I highly recommend it for the price, details, and functionality.

Modern, practical, versatile, and all in one system!
July 12, 2019
I'm a busy mom of three, and when my youngest was born, I knew I needed a stroller and car seat that was practical and versatile for all the shopping, activities, and general running around we do. I rely on my stroller heavily because being on the go means my son is often napping, needing a safe, shaded place, or being transferred in and out of the vehicle. The Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System by @maxicosi is lightweight and offers five different configurations. I love that I can go from car seat to bassinet to sitting up all in the same day! My son doesn't skip a beat when he needs to nap and we are at the park or the beach, because with a few quick adjustments, he is able to lay completely flat with the bassinet option and fall asleep with ease. The recline feature for the stroller seat does take some getting used to, as it is difficult to adjust while baby is sitting in it. The stroller boasts a beautiful canopy with a zippered vent, which keeps my son well shaded, and the large storage basket, although sometimes difficult to access, provides plenty of room for all of our bags. I have even gotten several compliments on how modern and sleek the stroller looks with its premium fabrics and vegan leather details. With the frequent shopping and errands I do, my arms appreciate the lightweight Mico Max 30 car seat. It has a curved handle making it easy to carry, and the foam inserts create a snug, safe fit for a smaller or newborn baby. While easy to carry, I find the harness in the Mico Max a bit tricky to tighten and loosen, and it takes me several tries to get it to click in or out of the stroller base each time I want to use it. As a busy mom, I prefer the ease and usability of the stroller seat over the car seat with the Zelia Max, and will continue to use this versatile, lightweight system as my son grows. A special shoutout to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this travel system, and making life with 3 kids a little more manageable!

Lightweight, high quality infant seat/travel system!!!
July 12, 2019
As a mom of three little ones, I've tried a few different infant seats and have an admitted passion for finding the best stroller out there! The Zelia Max 5-in-1 travel system gets nearly a perfect rating in my opinion! First, the infant seat is lightweight and the material on the seat is soft and comfortable for my 3 month old. Also, a huge bonus is the seat cover to both stroller and infant seat can be removed and washed. It is an on-trend, high quality fabric that looks like it will wash nicely! However the canopy of the infant seat is quite sheer for very sunny days. The stroller has a nice sized basket, and can carry up to 10 lbs! It rolls smoothly, is easy to maneuver, and folds easily. We haven't used the seat upright yet since it is recommended for a child that can sit up unassisted and my baby is too young for that. However, the seat can lay flat into a carriage, which is fantastic! Most brands require a completely separate carriage attachment which can often be pricey! My main complaint about this travel system is removing the infant seat from the stroller requires pressing two small release buttons on each side of the seat. It does not unlatch easily (I guess good for security) and almost requires another person to hold the stroller (aka a third hand to help). In addition, the infant seat is difficult to release from the base. It has a single release in the back, but still requires two hands since it sticks and has to be yanked up (not preferable with an infant inside the seat, often sleeping). It could be that my seat is "sticking." Overall, I highly recommend this seat despite the release difficulties noted above. I'm curious if these issues will improve with more use. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this travel system!!!

Zelia Max 5 in 1 Travel System-Beautiful Style
July 12, 2019
I was given this Travel System to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, and we were very excited to use this stylish system. Assembly was very straightforward and easy, with the only challenge being snapping the canopy onto the bassinet. With a newborn, the bassinet on the stroller base was our favorite mode, as our baby loves to get out for walks around the neighborhood, and I appreciate the space it gives him outside of a car seat. At times the front wheels would "bind" and not turn as expected, requiring me to lift and pivot to get the front wheels aligned with the direction we were going. The car seat was very easy to install with seat belt styled clips. There isn't a level on the base, so you will need to ensure the base and car seat are level for a newborn. This is an opportunity for future models made by Zelia. The car seat itself has a fantastic fabric cover and amazing padding. Adjusting the seat was very easy, and removal of the cover for cleaning was simple. I do recommend this system do to its stylish look, and comfort in every area. For awareness, the lack of a level on the base and the front wheels that don't pivot easily are the major areas of concerns.

Quality system at an affordable price
July 12, 2019
Pros: The Maxi Cosi Travel System was easy to assemble right out of the box, and the instructions were pretty simple. I was immediately impressed by the quality of the fabrics as they are thick, cushioned, and well constructed. My baby always seemed very comfortable. The design of the system is very modern and sleek, comparing to other strollers with a much higher price point. It has a fantastically large basket underneath to store diaper bags and all the other things moms schlep around. Transitioning from the bassinet to the seat takes seconds, the same goes for attaching the car seat to the stroller. I especially love that my child can face me or face outward easily. Lastly, it is wonderful to be able to fold the seat up without detaching the seat first like similar strollers I've tested. Unfolding straight from the back of my mini-SUV was simple and quick. Cons:The stroller seat is rather small, designed for newborns up to about 2 years old. My 2.5 year old didn't fit in the seat because he is so tall, the top metal bar hit about halfway up his head so he couldn't sit all the way back. If you are looking for an exceptionally smooth ride, you'll have to pay a little more as this stroller doesn't have air tires or shocks. At the junction where the seat attaches to the chassis, there is about a half inch give where the seat rocks back and forth. This isn't a big deal, but seems a little flimsy. In order to adjust the recline of the seat you have to press buttons on both sides of the seat, but now you have no extra hand to actually move the seat and it takes another person to do it for you. Please go to the Micro Max 30 Car Seat to see my review of it. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this product.

Nice Travel System for Babies
July 12, 2019
I received this Travel System to review as part of the weeSpring parent panel. When I received the travel system and assembled it (pretty straight forward assembly), I was very impressed with the faux leather, adjustable handle bar, the fabrics of the car seat and stroller, the huge canopy, the high seat(I am tall so this was amazing for me to not have to stoop low or bend too far) and the many different configurations of the stroller to adjust based on the stage of the child. I have a 6 month old and a 2 year old, both of who are in the upper 90th percentiles for weight and height, so I was eager to try the different options of the stroller for both children. When trying the system with my 6 month old, it worked very well. She seemed to be very comfortable in the stroller both facing me and facing out. At 6 months old, I felt she may be too big and too active for the bassinet configuration so we did not use it. As far as the car seat, she seemed very comfortable in that seat as well. I really appreciated the easy install of the car seat both with and without the base. I also appreciated how easy it was to put the car seat in the stroller and remove it from the stroller and how light the seat was. She and I traveled using this travel system and breaking it down for TSA and maneuvering through the airport were a breeze. The only things I did not like about the system were the fact that the car seat did not have a no re-thread harness and that the wheels on the stroller were plastic instead of rubber. Aside from that everything about the travel system worked really well for my 6 month old. As for my 2 year old, the stroller did not work as well for her. She is 37 inches tall and 36 pounds. The stroller is stated to support up to 50 pounds; however, I could not find the height limitations. Her head was nearly touching the canopy, and she did not appear to be very comfortable at all in the stroller. All in all, the travel system is a really good system for infants.

Great travel system for infant, but not for toddler years
July 12, 2019
I am a mom of 3 boys (3.5 y/o, 2 y/o and 6 mos). After I quickly put the Zelia stroller together (minimal assembly), each toddler boy tried it out. Both boys are about 30 lbs & the stroller seat can hold up to 50 lbs which is great; however, the 3.5 year old was too tall at 38". Next was the infant's turn-the buckle is a little tricky w/ an infant as you must get the 2 sides together first before inserting into the buckle part. My baby seemed very happy & comfortable in the stroller seat & especially loved putting his feet on the bar which was easy to open & close. I could also hang toys from the bar. When he was ready for a nap, I turned the seat into bassinet mode, which was very easy (however, it was a little difficult to go from bassinet to seat as you have to click a buckle underneath that took some effort). He slept great in the bassinet part (seems cozy!), although it does rock back a little. Other additions to the stroller include a cup holder that easily attaches to the side but is a little flimsy & sticks out; large storage basket that is easy to get to; extra-large canopy that unzips to show a mesh portion and folds out to cover even more. While you can click either the car seat or the stroller seat into the frame, you have to change out the side attachments on the stroller - there is one set for the car seat & another for the stroller seat. But both are very easy to click in & out of the stroller. The adjustable height on the stroller is easy to use & great as my husband is much taller. I also really loved the maneuverability of the stroller - I can turn it in a full circle without moving. The Mico 30 infant car seat also seems very comfortable for the baby. It's easier to carry with the wider handle compared to other infant car seats. Overall, I think this is a great travel system for an infant, but I don't think it can be used too far into the toddler years. Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this 5-in-1 travel system to try & review.

Great travel system
July 12, 2019
As a mom to a nearly two year old and a newborn, I've seen my fair share of strollers and travel systems and can tell you they are not all alike. I really enjoyed trying out the Zelda Max 5-in-1 travel system for a few different reasons. First of all, it was so easy to use and put together (see photo below less than 5 minutes after getting it out of the box). I really like that it can be used as a true seat and a bassinet without having to have extra seats laying around the house. And for our family it truly has been 5-in-1. While my son is at school, we use the bassinet or car seat configurations for my daughter, both of which are so easy to transition in and out of (simple click or buckle). When he is not at school, he gets to ride in the stroller as we carry my daughter. Both children have loved it, without any complaint. My son also enjoys sitting in the car seat from time to time when we are at home. The car seat is one of my favorite aspects of this system. It was very easy to instal and I love the stability of the base, my son especially likes to rest his feet on the base bar. I also like the flexibility of this seat, while he had outgrown his previous infant seat he still fits well within the weight and height of this one! I think the best part of the stroller is how light it is, which makes it so easy to get it in and out of the house and car (and up our steps). It also appears to be very well made with good materials, my only concern is how the wheels will wear with time. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Travel System

Fantastic travel system - Too big for some
July 11, 2019
As someone who has held several nanny and daycare teaching jobs in the last 12 years, to say that I am picky about strollers would be an understatement! I love baby great and checking out what is new in the market. Even more so now that I have a baby of my own! So I was so excited to test out the Zelia Max travel system thanks to wee spring parent panel! And test it I did! Right off the bat- I was impressed with how luxurious it looked. The cushioning looks divinely comfy. I was immediately jealous of my baby. I want to be pushed around in such comfort! It's super soft and well cushioned so parents can put the tiniest babies in it at ease. After a very easy set up (you can do it sleep deprived- promise!), I was immediately impressed by the fold. Any stroller with a bassinet as sturdy as this one requires that the bassinet is removed for folding. Not the zelia Max. You can fold the whole thing! Pretty cool and way less hassle than most luxury strollers. Pros: - the seat turns into a bassinet on demand. You can use it from birth and don't need to switch anything out. That's way cool. That's a reason to get this stroller right there. - The seat can be moved to face you on demand. - The push is gorgeous. I took all over San Francisco and the Bay Area. This stroller and I went on rough terrain, streets, food truck festivals- it was always a treat to push. - Did I mention the bassinet on demand?! Man I love that. It is such a game changer for naps on the go! You can put the baby in the swaddle and have them nap as if at home. - Cup holder included! Nice! Cons: - The size. It is too darn big. The wheels in the back are soo wide. I often couldn't go into every aisle in a store. If your lifestyle is that you drive everywhere and then walk in malls and such- perfect. Otherwise- a more compact system might be needed.

Right off the bat- I was impressed with how luxurious it looked. The cushioning looks divinely comfy. I was immediately jealous of my baby.It's super soft and well cushioned so parents can put the tiniest babies in it at ease. Maxi cosi is the gold standard for car seats back home in Europe and it did not disappoint. The car seat is amazing and so cushy. So I will focus on the stroller in this review. After a very easy set up (you can do it sleep deprived- promise!), I was immediately impressed by the fold.

Great stroller! But for riding the baby unfriendly San Francisco bus or navigating the narrow store entrances in SF- less grea

Luxe + Stylish but Somewhat Heavy
July 11, 2019
I was very excited to try out the Max Cosi Zelia stroller and car seat. I was impressed with the higher quality of fabric used and that the leather seemed and felt real but was in fact faux leather (which I would prefer!). This stroller seemed like it would be comparable to the Uppa Baby models but without the hefty price tag. It was really easy to set up and only took a few minutes. After trying the stroller out I did notice that it was pretty heavy to push around. I think this set would be great if you lived in the suburbs or to cruise around the mall but it wouldn't be my first choice for a more active family. I wouldn't recommend taking it to a beach or dirt road (park/boardwalk). The stroller had a loud clicking noise that came from inside the wheel but I emailed their customer support team and was very impressed with how quickly they responded and asked to send me a new unit. That's very reassuring and a huge plus that a company has a great customer service team (that's based in the US!). I tried to push my 1.5 yr old in the stroller part and her head was almost touching the top of the canopy and I would say it was pretty small for her so I think this stroller and travel set is best for infants. Pros: stylish, looks luxe, upgraded fabrics, faux leather, comfortable, HUGE basket below (which can fit a bag, toys and a chihuahua!), solid. Cons: bulky and heavy, stroller is small for a 1yr old or once the babe is out of infant stage. Hard to use with two kids. Thank you WeeSpring + Max Cosi for allowing us to try out this product in exchange for an honest review.

So easy to use!
July 11, 2019
Thanks to the weeSpring parent panel, I received the Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System at no cost for my honest review. Clear instructions were attached to the unit, in < 10 minutes we were ready to roll! We tested system over the holiday week. Let me tell you, the ease of the stroller configuration was a lifesaver! By the time we arrived, baby was deep in his morning nap. We set up in carriage mode, opened up the extendable canopy to keep sun off baby, and packed the oversized under basket with supplies and were off! The smooth glide and wide stance kept baby from jostling around. When baby woke, it took only seconds to put him in a upright position. Just a couple clips to unsnap and a rotation of the seat. Markell loves sitting high in the seat. The stroller also has one hand adjustable handle height (awesome for a tall mom or dad) and one hand fold. The Mico seat was also great. The base was very easy to install and position. When connected, baby looked very comfortable and at ease. Unfortunately the set did have a couple drawbacks. I was disappointed in the flimsy cup holder, I would love to see a more sturdy holder and maybe storage for keys/wallet. Another issue I had was that while the attaching the car seat to the stroller was fast and easy, getting it off was not. There are no instructions in the manual. There are two buttons to release, But how to push two buttons and lift at the same time? I live chatted a Maxi-Cosi CSR. While she came up with a removal technique, it was still not as comfortable or safe as I would have liked. I will recommend to friends with maybe a warning about the removal of the seat. But as a car seat, I love it! As a stroller, I love it!

great stroller
July 11, 2019
The Zelia Max 5-1 travel system is a great stroller for easy use and functionality to get around wherever you need to go. Lets start first with the Maxi Cost car seat! It is super light weight (even my three year old can carry it around), the canopy is of the car seat is very large and has lots of coverage. I think my favorite feature is how easy it is to take the padding off of this car seat to wash! And lets be honest....for a baby and the large blow outs....this is a must!! Now to move onto the stroller, the frame itself is very lightweight and so easy to fold, you can do it with one hand. This make is very easy to collapse for easy travel. The car seat fits in the stroller very easily and facing either way, with a quick pull of a tab to switch directions! The stroller seat easily reclines and can also be moved to face either way. This stroller itself is a very smooth ride with a very large base in the bottom that allows for lots of easy storage. To top it all off it is vegan leather....posh yet humane!

Light as a feather!
July 11, 2019
When I read that the MaxiCosi Zelia 5-in-1 system was lightweight I just rolled my eyes because I feel like every company says this. However, after unboxing the car seat and stroller I was blown away - they're not kidding! Regardless if you're using the car seat or the provided stroller seat/bassinet it's the lightest stroller and car seat I've ever owned (and I've owned at least 6). Assembly literally takes 2 minutes. The tires on the stroller are large which allows them to maneuver over any change in terrain with no issue at all and the built in shocks allow for a very smooth ride. The car seat base can fit in any car comfortably. I really liked the added rebound bar, just one more detail that puts this system over the top. The car seat itself is LIGHT! You would have no idea looking at it because of all of the built in safety features and support. The sunshade is awesome - I love the mesh window that allows me to check on baby while in motion. The stroller basket is HUGE. Definitely a plus if you live in the city or if you're out on a long day of shopping. The stroller base is the easiest thing in the world. While you need two hands to fold it down, you can easily carry it with one. It's compact enough to fit in the smallest of cars, or it stands up on its own while folded (perfect for travel). Gripes: The instructions aren't clear on how to adjust the car seat to fit your little one. I had to find a video online to figure out my issue. The stroller seat rocks back and forth a bit and I can't figure out how to stop it. The one design that I dislike the most is the car seat only attaches to the stroller with additional attachments. If you forget them or lose one you're out of luck. It would be nice if they designed the stroller to attach without these. Overall we are in love with this car seat and I'm so glad I got to try this Travel System from the weeSpring Parent Panel! I wish they made a double stroller so I could tote both kids around in style!

Premium stroller features at a fraction of the price
July 11, 2019
Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with the Maxi Cosi Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System. I was really impressed by this travel system. It has a lot of the features I've come to expect in a good stroller, such as a large basket, adjustable handle-bar, and an infant bassinet. Plus, there are some thoughtful features that I didn't expect, but was delighted by. I love that the bassinet converts to the seat, so there's one less thing to store when baby's outgrown it. I also love that the car seat has an anti-rebound bar for added safety. Someone was very smart to make the fabrics machine washable and easy to take off - I hear parents everywhere cheering! The stroller also folded down pretty compactly in the trunk of my car, which was a plus. The only things that gave me pause about this stroller system were that the car seat base hung off the edge of seat in my Honda Odyssey, and required more space than my other car seat, so I had to move the driver seat up. Some of the connections weren't as smooth as my other stroller - it seemed a little jerky lifting the car seat off the base and when adjusting the handlebar. I also put my 35 in. tall 2.5 year old in the stroller and it seemed a little small for her, so I think this stroller would be best for infants and younger toddlers. Considering the price for the whole travel system though, it seems like a great value for a first time parent or someone who just needs a single stroller!

Nice travel system with a few flaws
July 11, 2019
I received this product from the weeSpring Parent Panel in exchange for my honest review. I thought that this stroller/travel system had some very good points: it is lightweight and easy to get in and out of the car, the fabrics seemed high quality and durable, and I liked that you can remove and wash them, and the car seat easily snaps in and out of the stroller and its base in the car which is very convenient. As for the cons: assembly was a little tricky; the weight maximum is only 30 pounds which isn't as high as some competitors (for reference my first born reached that weight by under 2 years. Overall, it's a very nice travel system.

Handles like a Cadillac
July 11, 2019
The fabric was very soft for the baby and very high quality. The wheels were our favorite feature as well as being excited about the handle extending out since I am y'all. As soon as we put our baby girl into the car seat, with so much squishy padding, she was calm and peaceful like she was relaxing in a hammock. The car seat attached very easily to the stroller. We've had a few other brands of strollers and this one was the best. I highly recommend it to anyone who has an infant. I received this travel system from the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Ok so I've used a lot of carseats as this is my second child and I had to have 3 carseats for my first just to cover the people who regularly took the baby places, and this one is pretty great. I like the padding bc I feel like my little one is really secure and comfortable when I put him in the seat. As with all travel systems, there is a bit of a learning curve for adjusting the straps etc. My kids have never been a fan of carseats unless they're moving and unfortunately that holds true for this one, but it went into my car pretty quick and easy and I haven't had any trouble loosening straps and getting them exactly where I need them. As for the stroller, I like it more than I expected. It definitely is hard to remember how to adjust the positions the first few times and how to fold it up properly to store it but honestly it's super light and I love that I can use it almost like a bassinet when my little one falls asleep and I can tilt it up facing me (my little has reflux but I love being able to see his face!). We took the stroller to the zoo and it literally rocked him to sleep it was great! The expandable sunshade is great here in Florida especially towards the middle of the day when the sun is going full force. Honestly for it being so lightweight I was a little worried about my toddler wrecking it but I sprained my ankle on a walk today and it was bad but leaning on the handlebar of this stroller let me get myself and my boys home safely so I think it'll hold up just fine! Also the wheels are great they went through the jungle developing in my backyard with no trouble and I suspect they'd do just as well on the beach if needed. I haven't used the stroller base with the carseat but I have played with the connection and it's super easy I just like the versatility with the big seat. I did receive this product as a member of the weespring parent panel in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Sleek, secure, yet easy to assemble
July 11, 2019
When I received the Zelia 5-in-1 Travel System, I was thrilled! I absolutely love the sleek design, and my husband loved how easy all of it was to put together. He installed the car seat and said it was "incredibly easy." My favorite feature (besides the style) is the option to attach the car seat right onto the stroller base (making it easy to transfer my son right from the car to the stroller), and that the base is super lightweight and easy to fold. I also love that I can use this for my toddler right now if I decide to baby wear my son while on a longer outing because the double stroller I have is too large to fit easily into my car. I honestly had some trouble figuring out how to make the carriage a toddler seat, but my husband figured it out for me in no time. The storage space underneath can also easily fit any of my diaper bags. I also love the carriage feature for my son, especially during those hopeful nap time walks. Besides the simplicity of putting it together, my husband prefers this stroller over others that we have had in the past because it is sturdy without being big and bulky, and there is an option to have the front wheels locked or unlocked. He also loved that the car seat is sturdy, yet seems to be comfortable and cozy for our son. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this travel system!

Great system
July 11, 2019
The zelia 5 in one is a great system for the price. I love how the stroller is useful even beyond the infant carseat stage. You can reverse the seat so that your baby can look at you as you walk or even my favorite feature is the bassinet where the baby lays flat. We have been to the splash pad many times this summer with my older kids and it is amazing to be able to have a safe contained place for the baby to lay down. I have had so many compliments on the stroller while out and about. The stroller was easy enough to put together, but it was confusing the first few times trying to put the carseat into the stroller. I was able to google and find some videos that helped me with that though. The carseat is also a little difficult to get out of the stroller so I prefer the bassinet mode to the carseat. Now the carseat itself is great. It was easy to install with the latch system. I could see how if you have to place the infant carseat behind the passenger side then it may cause some space issues because it is longer then my old infant seat. The seat is lightweight and the fabric seems to be good quality. I live in the south where it gets hot so the black seat is not ideal, but not a deal breaker for me. Thanks to the weespring parent panek for sending me this product to review.

Overall great travel system that grows with your baby
July 11, 2019
I wanted to give this travel system five stars but I had so many issues trying to fold the stroller with the carrier on. You need two hands for everything which is hard when you are a mom of two. I really wish there was one button to push so you can calapse everything with one hand. I also had a lot of issues taking the car seat off the stroller legs. My arms were too short to push both buttons at the same time and lift. My husband had to help me everytime. My favorite configuration was being able to attach the car seat to the stroller legs because I didn't disturb my son's sleep. He is too young for the stroller mode but we did use the carriage mode which is super cute and roomy. The extra large basket on the bottom of the stroller was really nice for walks in the park. We were able to pack snacks and store everything in the basket. It would be great for day trips like the zoo but it is bulky for going to the store. The car seat fabric is soft and very cushiony. My son use to hate the car seat but doesn't mind it anymore. I think this is due to the memory foam feeling it has so it must feel heavenly on his little body. The only problem I had with the car seat and base was that it took up more room than I anticipated. We have a midsized SUV and my husband cannot drive the vehicle with the car seat behind the driver seat. Our backseats do have the option to move backwards more but it was still too large after we made that adjustment. Thankfully the install was a peice of cake so we were able to switch it to behind the front passenger seat. Overall I do really like this travel system.

Versatile travel system
July 11, 2019
As a package, the Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System is a great concept. The fabric/materials are high-quality and machine washable, which is a must with little ones. I like that it includes the infant car seat (plus the base!) as well as the stroller frame. It also converts between a bassinet/carriage and a more "traditional" seat, allowing for multiple positions to provide comfort to your child. My favorite configuration to use is the parent-facing carriage mode for my baby and the world-facing stroller mode for my toddler. I love that I can use the same system for both my kiddos, though not at the same time. It's nice that you can reposition the bassinet and seat towards you or towards the open environment to meet the needs of your child. The car seat base is easily installed via LATCH system or the car seat can be installed using the seat belt without the base. It is a little annoying that you need to attach the car seat adapter clips onto the stroller before snapping in the infant car seat, but this is a minor issue considering the other positioning options. The stroller is easy to maneuver and the kids seems to enjoy riding in the stroller. My favorite features of the stroller are the large storage basket and the sunshade canopy. I also like that the stroller has a clasp to keep it folded and stays standing in place when upright. These little details make this an excellent travel system for busy families on the go. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Travel System.

This is a great travel system!
July 11, 2019
I was given this Travel System to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel, and let me tell you how much I love it. The car seat was easy to install and the soft padding made it so comfortable for my baby girl. It is awesome to be able to click the car seat into the stroller base without having to transfer my 5 month old. I have also used this stroller with my 3 year old, and it is so easy to interchange the stroller seat and car seat so I could use it with either child. The stroller has amazing fabric, it is so lightweight and the wheels swivel easily, which makes it very easy to push. This has definitely become my new go-to stroller when taking my little ones out and about!

Nice Lightweight Travel System
July 11, 2019
I was given this travel system by the weeSpring Parent Panel in exchange for my honest review. There is so much to consider when purchasing a travel system so I'll break it down into features that I think are important: Car seat: feels high quality and my baby seemed comfortable in it. It is also lightweight which makes a huge difference when you add in a baby that's past the newborn stage and weight! We didn't have a problem installing it. Easy to click onto the stroller if needed with the attachment pieces- handy for the newborn and early infant stages. Stroller base: also lightweight and easy to fold up, but only moderately durable. We have bumpy sidewalks in our neighborhood and I would have to tilt the stroller over the big bumps like I would an umbrella stroller. Has a decent sized basket underneath that I put my purse and diaper bag in. The handles are adjustable which is nice if you're taller. It folds up to be very compact but I prefer to take the seat out before folding it... I haven't gotten the hang of folding it all together yet but it is possible. Stroller seat: love how the high quality fabric looks and feels. The buckle takes a little getting used to- you have to connect the two pieces on each side before buckling. The canopy is a really nice fabric with moderate sun coverage. It does not have a "peek" window on top. The seat can be positioned facing you or away which I love. My 5 month old (16lbs) is comfortable sitting upright, and I usually face her out so she can look around. My absolute favorite feature is how easy the seat changes into a bassinet. I'm very particular about naptimes and my baby sleeps better on her back. So when it's naptime mid-outing I just unbuckle the bottom and tilt it back and - voila-bassinet! Overall, this is a wonderful stroller system for someone who is looking for a moderately durable (more than an umbrella stroller but less than a heavy duty stroller) versatile, travel system .

Convenient Travel System With Awesome Details (Part 2)
July 10, 2019
The stroller and car seat fabric was soft and seemed durable. A bonus it looked like it would be easy to remove to wash if needed. For future developments, I would really like to see a sibling board option. For a mother with two young children, that would be a lifesaver. It would also be nice to have an additional cupholder or handle bar console. Lastly, I would love to see air filled wheels. We live in the country so the ride wasn't very smooth on our roads and I would expect the same on other uneven terrains. Overall we really enjoyed this stroller! I would recommend it to families that want a stroller with various seating options and need a convenient travel system. Thanks again weeSpring and Maxi Cosi for letting me review!

Convenient Travel System With Awesome Details
July 10, 2019
Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this Zelia Max 5-in-1 Travel System by Maxi Cosi! I loved the functionality of this travel system. With the five different options, it fit all our needs for our little one. I was able to utilize it with my almost two year old and my two month old, which was great for me! I really liked how the seat was a bassinet and an upright seat, and faced backward and forward. I appreciated that there was not a separate bassinet as well. I would have to say my favorite configuration to use was the bassinet. I have always wanted one but was never willing to spend more money to get one. I liked knowing my baby was comfortable and safe while sleeping in the stroller. The car seat was super easy to install into my crossover with the one click LATCH system. It was a quick click-in installation that offered an integrated anti-rebound bar that provides added safety by reducing rebound movement. As a mother, the extra safety was priceless. The car seat was also super easy to attach to a stroller, which is so nice when you have a sleeping baby! I also thought the car seat was lightweight compared to others which I appreciated when I had to carry it around. Both my two month old and almost two year old, the stroller seemed super comfortable. My oldest did almost hit the top of the shade, which was the one downside for me because I do not know how much longer he would be able to use it. It was so nice to have my baby in the bassinet when he was sleeping and then switch the seat so he could see out when he was awake. My favorite features of this stroller was the extended canopy and the large basket! Extendable canopy with flip-out visor provides protection especially in the summer sun when you cannot use sunscreen on your baby yet. With the extra spacious basket, everything I needed for the day fit in the basket. It was a life saver not having to carry any extra bags while being out for the day.

Lightweight Travel System
July 10, 2019
Thank you to weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with the Zelia Max 5 in 1 Travel System. The infant car seat is extremely light weight. With a history of having large babies, it is always a plus to find a lightweight infant seat for portability. Another huge pro is that it is completely machine washable and dryer friendly. This is key when dealing with spit up and blow outs. In terms of safety, I appreciate the anti-rebound bar. The center cushion is anti-wicking and soft which should be helpful in the summer months. This infant seat has adaptors available for 21 strollers. I love the flexibility that it provides especially since I have 3 other strollers that I have collected over the years. Due to its lightweight nature, it feels cheap and unsafe. When I applied pressure to the handlebar, it easily bent and appeared that it could snap with continued pressure. One of the biggest inconveniences with this car seat is the need to rethread the safety harnesses with growth. My 16 lbs 6 month old baby appeared snug in this seat and I fear he would not last until the 30 lbs weight limit. The handlebar has 2 settings. Moving between the 2 settings would surely wake a sleeping infant. The handlebar must be in the upright position when installed in the base. As you move the handlebar, the canopy moves. Even at rest, the canopy does not stay put. Now, let's discuss the strollers pros and cons. The stroller was extremely easy to set up when I pulled it out of the box. It has 5 different settings, hence the name 5 in 1. Like the infant seat, it is extremely lightweight. It's so lightweight when attempting to remove car seat, I lifted entire stroller off of the ground. It has an adjustable handlebar which is convenient for taller people like my husband. The car seat adaptors for the Mico Max 30 were extremely easy to install and remove. The infant seat "rocks" on the adaptors appearing to lack security. Folding seat is extremely difficult.

Comfortable, Sleek, Great!
July 10, 2019
I've had the Zelia Max 5 in 1 Travel System for approximately 2 weeks now and I can't rave enough about it! As a mother of 3 who are 4 and younger, I need something lightweight and easy to use. This travel system definitely delivers! My youngest is just under 5 months and about 17 lbs but the seat still has plenty of room. I love the sleek black look as well but I was a little worried about it getting hot, thankfully that was not the case at all because of the ultra breathable fabric. I had even bought a tiny fan to attach to the seat but never needed it. The seat is incredibly cushioned! As in luxury ride for baby cushioned. My little guy falls asleep soon after being put in his seat and is happy being in the seat while awake. The seat also has a huge canopy that doesn't let the sun through but is still breathable which is a great feature during the summer months! If you have a smaller vehicle I think this seat should work for you as well, it doesn't take up a lot of space in the car and instillation was incredibly simple; I did it myself in about two minutes and I'm not mechanically inclined. As far as the stroller goes it barely takes up any room in the trunk when folded but is a nice size with a huge basket underneath when out. The basket fits my overstuffed backpack diaper bag with room to spare. Another feature is that the handle length for the stroller is adjustable so if you're taller or you and someone else is going to be pushing the stroller you can quickly adjust the handle in a matter of seconds! A couple of things that I'm not crazy about with the Zelia Max 5 in 1 is that the seat to the stroller has to be stowed if you're using the car seat with the stroller, but it doesn't take up much space. The straps on the car seat are also sometimes hard to pull, but that will get easier with use. I received this travel system to try for free from weeSpring Parent Panel - check them out, they're amazing! The opinions and review are completely honest and my own
