UPPAbaby Vista V3 vs Maxi-Cosi Zelia [on]

Question

First-time mom here and confused about strollers! 😅

I’m leaning toward the UPPAbaby Vista V3 with a Chicco infant car seat, but my friends are recommending the Maxi-Cosi Zelia travel system.

  • I tried both and personally liked the Vista V3 much more.
  • My friends think there’s no need to spend that much and recommend getting the Maxi-Cosi stroller + car seat together.
  • Their point is that I’ll have to change the infant car seat eventually anyway, while the stroller will last longer.
  • We have a sedan, so trunk space and everyday convenience are important.
  • My main concern is whether the Vista V3 will be too bulky/heavy to constantly put in and take out of the trunk.
  • At the same time, I don’t want to buy the Maxi-Cosi just because it’s cheaper and later wish I had bought the Vista.

Anyone using a Vista V3 with a sedan? Is it worth spending the extra money, or would you choose something lighter like the Maxi-Cosi Zelia?
