Designed for Versatility 

The Zelia Luxe is built to simplify your life.  

Despite its sturdy frame, the stroller weighs just 21.5 pounds, making it easy to maneuver and store. It’s designed to handle all terrains, so whether you’re strolling down city sidewalks or exploring park paths, you’ll enjoy a smooth ride. 

Switching between carriage, stroller, and car seat modes is a breeze too! The included adapters allow you to click the Mico Luxe Infant Car Seat directly onto the stroller frame without disturbing your baby’s sleep. Additionally, the toddler seat and carrycot ensure that you’re prepared for every stage of your child’s growth. 
 

Mico Luxe Infant Car Seat 

The Mico Luxe Infant Car Seat is an integral part of this travel system. Here’s what makes it a standout: 

• Lightweight Design: Weighing only 9 lbs without the base, the Mico Luxe is easy to carry without straining your arms. 

• Advanced Safety Features: The car seat includes side-impact protection, an adjustable base, and an adjustable harness for safety (and comfort!) 

• ClimaFlow Technology: Strategically placed ventilation panels ensure your baby stays cool and comfortable on warm days. 

• Travel-Friendly: The Mico Luxe is certified for aircraft use and can be installed without the base, making it an excellent choice for families on the go. 

• Plush Comfort: The removable infant insert provides extra support for newborns, while the self-wicking fabrics keep baby dry by drawing moisture away.
  

Customizable Comfort 

The Zelia Luxe doesn’t just grow with your baby — it adapts to your lifestyle too with the following features: 

• Adjustable Handle: The stroller handle adjusts to accommodate parents of varying heights, making it comfortable for everyone to push. 

• UPF 50 Canopy: Protecting your baby from the sun is an extendable canopy and flip-out visor. A peek-a-boo window lets you keep an eye on your little one while allowing for airflow on hot days. 

• Rain Cover & Footmuff: These included accessories ensure your baby stays cozy and dry in any weather! The insulated footmuff acts like a blanket, while the rain cover shields against unexpected showers. 

• Roomy Storage Basket: The extra-large basket provides ample space for diaper bags, toys, snacks, and other essentials. 
   

Fashion Meets Function 

The Zelia Luxe doesn’t compromise on style and blends practicality with elegance.  

Available in a range of stylish colours, its premium PureCosi fabrics are both durable and comfortable. Additionally, they’re free from wool and fire retardants, ensuring they’re gentle on sensitive skin while maintaining safety standards. 

Maintenance is also a breeze as the machine-washable fabric can be easily removed for cleaning (which is a lifesaver for those inevitable messes!). Chic touches like leather accents on the stroller handle and bumper bar add a luxurious feel, proving that functionality and style can go hand in hand. 
 

Everyday Convenience 

Parents will appreciate the Zelia Luxe’s thoughtful design, which includes a one-hand fold mechanism that makes collapsing the stroller quick and effortless. Once folded, the stroller stands upright on its own, saving storage space at home. 

The lockable swivel wheels (measuring 7 inches in the front and 10 inches in the back) are paired with all-terrain suspension to ensure smooth maneuverability across various surfaces. Whether you’re navigating bumpy park paths or crowded city streets, the Zelia Luxe delivers a comfortable and stable ride anywhere!  

Finally, the swing-away bumper bar makes it easy for you to load and unload your child, eliminating unnecessary hassle during outings.
