Review on Maxi-Cosi Zelia™²Max: The Ultimate 5-in-1 Modular Travel System by Lisa Fugiel

Too expensive impractical (6 months old)

It's just beautiful but once you start using it you'll see that it needs sooo much improvement. The car seat is the worst. Doesn't have good cushioning to support the body. Make the child's back arch so much that they press their chin to their chest and the child actually rolls onto their stomach. The airbags around the neck are very clumsy and large, but short. The child's cheeks are pressed against his nose and, after a slight movement, slide down, leaving the seat belt around his neck uncovered. You have to adjust it very often, and when the baby is sleeping, all the twitches and movements will wake the baby up. In addition, after a while, the child will slide down, causing it to roll more. If you use the car seat on a stroller, you will need to use additional attachments. If you want to switch between a carrycot and a car seat on a stroller, putting it on and taking it off is a hassle. Putting the car seat on the stroller is not easy, you have to hold the car seat over the anchors, then align one side and slide the car seat down a little, then the other side, and if not, the car seat will get the anchors out of the way , it's basically a two person job. To remove the car seat from the stroller there are 2 buttons on the sides of the seat, which must be pressed simultaneously when lifting the car seat. These shaking and movement sequences are not suitable for a sleeping baby! Gently pulling the car seat out of the sink is a two-person job. Also, the seat belts around the child's legs are not covered and may mark the child's legs if the child is wearing shorts. It's an expensive kit and you expect perfection, but honestly it's not worth it. Okay I'm back with more updates, DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY! It's been 6 months since I received this set and about a month since I started using the stroller. In the beginning the front wheels maneuver very easily and well, and now they don't even stay straight, they stand sideways and don't let me move forward, I have to move them with my foot. The cradle is so-so. Bad depreciation again. I wish I could go back in time and buy something else. You don't get enough for what you pay for!

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
