Maxi-Cosi Zelia S Trio 3-in-1 Prams Travel System, 0 - 4 Years, Up to 22 kg, Foldable, Compact and Reclining Baby Pushchair, with CabrioFix S i-Size Baby Car Seat, Accessories, Nursery Bag, Grey

I would like to address the front wheels locking and steering reviews. I found the solution to it, but here is my story first. I would like to say that I was a bit afraid when I read reviews addressing the wheel lock and steering issues. I took a leap of faith with the locking issue and bought it anyway as the price was right. However, it happened to me after 2 months of use. Wheels were locking at random moments, not allowing to steer the pram... I was getting so frustrated and preparing to buy a new pram. However, after a bit of tinkering, the solution to this steering/locking issue was putting a small amount of lithium grease onto the front wheels pins. It allows them to rotate much easier and it felt like a new pram after I applied just a tiny bit of lithium grease. Since then, I clean them and grease every two months or so and there are no issues with front wheels locking. Maybe something else than lithium grease will work as well. Other than the "front wheels locking issue", this pram is fantastic. I would recommend it to anybody searching for 3 in 1 travel system. It is so easy to fold and unfold, easy to carry in a car, car seat is so easy to fasten in a car... It is a no brainer to get this over some higher price models.

I have never been so fed up with something in my life. This pram is the most annoying thing I have ever used. I’m so upset over the fact I paid so much money for it and all it’s done is cause me hassle since the day I opened the box. I tried to fit it into the maxi cosi isofix the day after I had my baby to find out that it needed a very specific isofix that was nowhere to be found on your page and then needed to buy ANOTHER car seat ( that was kinda my fault as I just typed it into google and it’s came up with the “recommended” isofix and should have double checked on there chart but not being funny took me about a hour to find the correct isofix) but since then the actual pram base is a nightmare. The brakes lock and stick and sometimes it takes up to 10 try’s to get the to come off which is a joke when you’ve just taken it out the car and are now stuck on the road having to lift a pram a week postpartum because the breaks won’t come off. The wheels lock all the time making it basically impossible to go up curbs ( again forcing me to lift the pram WITH MY BABY IN postpartum, this is already and extremely heavy product Nevermind with a baby in it). When using the pram on shop floors it steers in one direction and the is no way to get it to stop making it even more of a hassle to go to the shop. Not only in the shop the pram is ridiculously hard to push anywhere. This pram is honestly been such a hassle and it’s not like people can just fork out another 400/500 to go buy another travel system. For a product that is supposed to make new mums life easier I think it’s ridiculous that they take all that money off of people knowing the pram is a joke and I’m really upset as I have spent so much money with maxi cosi not only on my baby but for gifts for others. Don’t know why they haven’t discontinued it as there is so many complains being made about it!!!!

The front right wheel has buckled after a few weeks of light use, the product does look good and is actually good quality, the reason for the low score is that I have been in touch with the supplier and they have responded with take the wheel off and clean it and this should resolve the issue, it’s clearly not as simple as they suggest and we have now been without the buggy for a few weeks and still no resolution from the supplier. Just to mention they were quick to respond to my emails.To add they did offer a replacement as the one we had was not in stock, but as we had been weeks without it, we had to buy a replacement ourselves.

This travel system bundle is absolutely perfect for anyone on a tight budget. It's fraction of the cost of a lot of other systems. It comes with so many accessories including (the main reason I purchased it) a high quality car seat (family fix 3 is the compatible isofix base) however, it doesn't come without its flaws, but hear me out...! The frame for the pushchair is quite wide and it can feel at times heavy to push down on the handle to lift up a curb for example. But with that said, the width of the frame also provides a very generous size basket for shopping etc underneath! I also find the front wheels don't always react or grip particularly on some floor types, which can cause the pushchair to become stiff to push and turn, rather than gliding as it should. This is usually inside shops with shiny hard floors, but outside on concrete there are no problems with pushing or steering. It's very nice to look at and the seat unit can be adjusted to just about any which way you like or need it. It can be used with the carry cot or just the car seat with the adapters provided and is simple to take apart for travelling. All in all, I cannot grumble. I paid £299 for this entire travel system (8 months ago, not sure on the price now) I'd absolutely love to give it 5 stars, but it isn't perfect and for the price, I wouldn't expect it to be. I will say that you get far more than what you pay for with this set. The value for money is undeniable.
