Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2

Really worth the price! – Comes in two settings, which is great in itself. It’s really handy and absolutely loving it! Folding and carrying over can be challenging for some people.. my only concern is wheels which are plain and tend to slip sometimes so that only drawback for me.. I personally make sure not to use in slippery planes or places.. Show details ·  1

Great! – I got this pram in early August 2021. Its the new version of Zelia and after going to a baby store and seeing the older version of the Zelia I can honestly say this is WAY better lol. Things I like thus far: 1) Light weight, its not heavy at all but doesn't look cheap either. 2) The textiles are really great quality, it doesn't look or feel… Read more ·  1

cheap. Especially where bub lies, its extremely soft and luxurious. 3) Comes with the newborn head support and converts to bassinet saving me needing to buy a 2nd bassinet attachment and then store it and eventually, lose money by selling it. 4) Its sturdy. I had a turn of all the prams in the baby bunting store and this stroller is much sturdier than many of the more expensive strollers eg Bugaboo whose chassis twists and is very loose to the touch. 5) I am only 165cm tall and discovered while testing out strollers, I must have a long stride. Most of the strollers I tested, I ended up kicking the bars at the back of the stroller. Not a problem with this stroller at all, even when powerwalking. 6) Good thick wheels that, being foam, don't require me to be pumping them up. 7) Folds down really small with is helpful as my car doesn't have a lot of space. 8) Baby sits up quite high. Even moreso when you attach the carseat. (Its great that the adaptors come with the pram too!) This was a VERY important thing for me as I have a bad back and especially in the early stages of bubs development, I don't want my baby at my knees in the bassinet (again- bugaboo was bad for this) having to bend down to tend to them. 9) Lovely wide back wheel base but not too wide that it doesn't fit through doors. It does- and easily! It also doesn't take up much space when shopping either. 10) Once its folded, there's a handlebar to grab it and lift it with- its placed exactly where it needs to be and is so intuitive. Very handy. 11) I like that it comes with the footmuff. Some other prams eg Nuna demi grow don't come with them in Australia but I really liked being able to keep bubs wind free tucked away safely and warm in there with it on- especially for a winter baby. 12) The hood almost meets the belly bar completely but also has another extension tucked up under it. This allows the entire bassinet to be covered (esp with the foot muff on) and baby to be in a lovely dark environment-it also stops prying eyes and wandering hands. 13) Its fast and easy to set up, comes very well protected in the box and was no trouble at all to put together. Think it took me all of like 7 mins! 14) I like that the brake 'pedal' is located on the side of the stroller so you don't kick it while walking. The break on and off pedal is easy to use too, it doesn't require your hands to help and I can do it while wearing thongs because its so easy but not sharp. 15) The seat/bassinet is nice and wide. Should be no problems fitting a toddler in there when my baby grows up more.

Things I don't like 1) There's no bar at the back under the stoage bag meaning when trying to get the pram up a curb you have to put your foot on the back wheel and press down on the handlebars to get the pram to tilt back. This was learned the hard way getting up into a bus with people waiting behind me. I got flustered in realising what I had to do and its not stress I or any other sleep deprived parent really need in my life lol. 2) I wish it had the option of brown leather handles and belly bar. I really like that aesthetic and from what I've seen, I can't even buy them aftermarket. 3) The fold is counterintuitive. You fold it away from you which means the handlebar hits the road/dirt. Not something thats great considering you're then touching that when pushing the pram- plus, if you're not careful it will scratch the plastic handlebar button thing. When I fold it down, I fold it onto my foot so that doesn't happen. 4) I tried to push with one hand while out walking and it was a bit of a fail. To be fair to the pram though, the road wasn't level at all lol. 5) The cup holder is absolutely dumb. It sticks out off the side of the stroller and widens the whole prams footprint. Enough that it scuffs walls and it just shouldn't be there. A bag or one on the inside of the stroller would've been much better. We ended up removing the whole thing after the first outing. 6) I'd love to see some type of suspension for the baby. Theres none at all and over cobble streets or grass its quite bumpy for a newborn.

Overall we are very happy with this stroller and maxicosi products in general. I have already recommended this stroller to my other pregnant friends :)
