I need to break this review down into two parts:

- First, the car seat. It weighs in at just under 9 lbs (8.7) which makes such a big difference when carrying a baby in it! It fits up to 32" and/or 30 lbs. which seems standard for infant car seats. It was easy to install - both the base and using the seatbelt (if traveling or not in your primary vehicle). Compared to another infant seat brand I've used, I found it comparable.

- Next, the stroller. I wanted to love this but it was just okay. My biggest complaint is the ease, or lack thereof, of closing the stroller. It was a lot of work. I really liked the different set up options. I could use it in a bassinet type of mode, without needing a separate bassinet. I could also use it with the car seat itself or as a stand-alone stroller, forward or rear facing. The sunshade went down a good amount which was very helpful during the summer months (when I got it). Other features I liked: the adjustable handle to fit both my husband and I, the cup holder (so I didn't need to buy another!), and, of course, the under carriage storage which I felt was spacious!

I have always thought that black was not the best color for strollers and carseats. It retains heat and inhibits best vision. It has been over 90 degrees for basically 2 weeks here, so going out, let alone in a black stroller is not the best idea. Babies can be dehydrated just by sitting in this heat retaining stroller for a short period of time. What about a mini solar fan in the hood or some thing like that. I have a battery fan but it has no way to connect safely to the hood of either the seat for the stroller.

Otherwise, this is a great stroller. Love the reversible seat. Love the four sturdy wheels. Love the handy mesh basket below the seat. My 2 older kids love to push this as well with the baby inside.

I liked the sleek design and it was relatively lightweight. The car seat was easy to remove from the base and was easy to fold down. Had some trouble initially getting the car seat off the stroller but once I figured it out, it was easy. The large sun canopy came in handy in these summer days. Wheels were a little bumpy and not as smooth as I would've liked, but my 10 month old didn't seem to mind (would worry more if my baby was younger). Overall, good travel system for the price as other similar travel systems are more expensive.

Im more than happy with this product. I did my research before buying it. And there was some bad reviews about the wheels and parts been missing , but i got mines and wheels are good and no parts missing. It's also a plus that is light weight , and also the brake it's awesome , my fav part. Not like other brakes from other strollers that are hard to take off . Definitely worth spending the money.

I have really loved this Maxi Cosi Zelia travel system! There are a few improvements that could be made, but overall this is a great car seat for the money!

The good- this stroller is easy to push with one hand! There's ample storage under the stroller which is nice, and I love the design. The colors haven't faded, the material is nice and durable, and the car seat is easy to put in and out of a car which is a must for me! It's easy to remove the car seat from the base and attach it to the stroller. It's lightweight for such a sturdy travel system, and it's rather smooth when pushing the stroller with the car seat attached.

The not so good- the material, though beautiful and well made, is a little hot for our Texas summers. Each time we take the baby out, he's sweating- but that could be the case with any car seat for him. My only other complaint is that the stroller is not super easy to fold up. It takes a little more time than I'd like, but that isn't a huge deal.

Overall, this is a great travel system and we would definitely purchase one for any other children we have. I have gotten compliments on how beautiful it is, and I love that it's gender neutral. Don't miss out on this travel system! 4.5 stars!

Pros: (1) I love how lightweight the car seat is, especially helpful as a post c section mom. (2) the stroller is beautiful and lightweight. It is nice when on smooth surfaces, i.e. indoors. Cons: (1) the car seat/rebound bar doesn't fit behind the drivers seat In our mid size sedan which is a bummer. (2) the stroller has zero suspension, so on a stroll in a neighborhood with sidewalks baby feels every crevice / gap in the concrete and startles. Summary: I would buy the car seat again, I like the wicking fabrics, but I wouldn't purchase this stroller unless you are just wanting to use it indoors and to/from the car.

I wish I had this for my oldest because it has a bassinet. I really like this stroller and car seat system but there were a few things that could be better. I was excited when I saw how large the bottom storage compartment was however there is a large bar at the bottom which makes it difficult to get the diaper bag and/or other bags I have in-and-out. I really like the size of the bassinet and the fact that it has a bassinet unlike my Chico 360 Bravo travel system. I wish the stroller in the seating position was a bigger, my daughter has always been tall for her age and is currently too big to sit in it. I think this system is great for the price and for the 1st 2 years I would say. It also took a long time to initially set it up because I couldn't figure it out right out of the box. It's really lightweight which is really nice also.

This stroller is very convenient and easy to use. I love the dark color which makes it look new even there's been an accident before washing.

This is baby number three, the first two we used two other brands for their travel systems. This one was easiest to put together, and feels like the best quality compared to our other two that were in the same price range. We LOVE the longer canopy for extra protection from the sun or rain. The large rubber wheels on the stroller make it SO easy to push on all different terrains, and I loved that you can lock the front wheels to keep them from turning. It was SO easy to put together, and is extremely easy to fold. I can't believe how small it folds up!! It fits in my husbands small sedan's trunk with no issues! The car seat is nice and light, easy to carry or clip into the stroller. The base installs quickly and easily. I can't say enough good things about this travel system! Helps that the Mico 30 is one of the top safety rated infant seats, too!!

Overall it's not a bad stroller. This is my first and only stroller ive used. Looking forward to trying others. My son was born 6lbs 11oz and now going on 4 months he's 15lbs and can't fit in the car seat. Have to find an alternative hopefully we don't have to get an entirely new system.

We Really liked this new travel system. First off it came packaged really well in one box, with the Mico Max 30 infant car seat, stay-in-car base, and Zelia Max stroller.
We really like the sleek stylish look and nice fabric of both the car seat and the stroller.
The car seat attaches easily to the stroller and latches off fast. The stroller itself is easy to fold and to maneuver (we live in SF and that was important for us).
Another big plus was the amount of storage the basket has, if you want to go shopping or go to the park (or anything) it fits it all.

This definitely rivals the other brands with similar design (like uppababy) but for a way better price.

The Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 5 in 1 Travel system with Mico 30 is perfect. It is compatible and fits in my trunk with ease. The fasteners are secure and durable and do not slide around. I would buy this product, it is light enough for me to transport, and is chic and fashionable.
I would recommend this product to my friends and family.

Glad I purchased this travel system. Baby seems very comfortable in car seat and stroller, love the padding. I see a lot of reviews saying they have trouble with the wheels, honestly mine is perfect, don't have any issues with them at all. I get a lot of compliments on this travel system, definitely recommend!

First off I have to say I love the look of this car seat & stroller, so sleek in the black. The car seat is fantastic, very cushiony & comfortable for my daughter with all the pads & headrest. Love the bassinet feature, even use it in my home for naps. Have no issues getting it in and out of the car. Also very easily attaches to the stroller and folds nicely. The stroller seat has different recline options, long sunshade & a nice size basket. The versatility of this set is just great & hopefully see myself using it for a long time. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review.

Really liked this stroller, was so thrilled to have received it to test and review! Just a great stroller for the age my child is at right now, 6 months. She has a lot of room to move and seems to really enjoy it. I like that it has a shade that extends well especially in New England where its hot one minus cold the next. Really looking forward to using it this summer.

This stoller system is much better than the grace brand I had before. The infant carrier itself is much lighter and the shape of the handle is much easier to grasp and use. The carrier goes up to 30lbs. The stroller is also lightweight and folds up easily. The padding on both the carrier and stroller are too notch. 5 out of 5!

The way this travel system is streamlined and adaptable, I regret not having it for my first baby! The material of the car seat is soft on skin, it works very easily with the LATCH system (I can't speak to it working with the seatbelt method); the stroller itself is AMAZING, even down to the storage underneath. Despite having the black model, the fabric doesn't even seem to heat up to the touch! I'm blown away by the versatility and adaptability of this set.

Great travel system for our kids. It really has grown with our family. Highly recommend!

Great travel system. Easy to get in and out of the car and love that it's modular.

While I like that the infant seat can be used with the stroller, and it's very easy to use, the stroller wheels are terrible. We've used this stroller about four times total and the wheels have started sticking - meaning they no longer rotate when they're in pivot mode we're turning the stroller. We've tried locking the wheels to the front, but the stroller is extremely hard to navigate when the wheels are locked. We're very disappointed, as this was a pretty expensive travel system and we were hoping to get lots of use out of it, but instead we're looking at having to replace the stroller so soon - we've only had our daughter for four months and we've only used it 4 times.

Bulky but one of the best you can see your baby or the back can turn forward and see the world

I wanted to love this stroller. I saved up cause I love the look of it but the wheels are absolutely terrible. You can't move the stroller on anything without the wheels getting stuck.

I purchased this stroller for my son and daughter-in-law, as per their request for my granddaughter. It is very difficult to insert or remove car seat from base and usually takes two persons to do this task. My daughter in law had a horrible accident with my granddaughter upon trying to insert car seat in base and having a difficult time car seat flipped causing my granddaughter to fall while strapped to car seat and sustained fracture to her head and was admitted to intensive care unit in hospital. It had definitely been the worst purchase we have made. I regret having purchased this item. I would definitely take this stroller of the market due to safety concerns.

Horrible front wheels. It keeps getting stuck you get more tired pushing the stroller than just carrying your baby.

Stroller system seems decent thus far, with the exception of the wheels. They are TERRIBLE!! Wheels do not work on any type of floor: carpet, concrete, tile, mall floors, etc. The inability to steer while on a walk or in a store is problematic.
