What buyers report
The Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2 Luxe is polarizing: many parents love the stylish design, versatile 5-in-1 modes, and easy installation, but a significant minority (24% one-star) report serious durability failures with the infant car seat — particularly the car seat carrier detaching from the plastic shell after a few months of normal use. Stroller wheel tracking issues are also a recurring complaint.

Sun canopy does not stay in position and collapses unexpectedly
