I also have the maxi cosi zelia system and our guy is 10 weeks now. It's honestly amazing, the bassinet and stroller fold up so easily. And it's really easy to unfold and use. Even if it's a quick grocery shopping trip we will clip the car seat into the stroller cuz its just so easy to do. I really searched for a system that would work for us as I did not want to buy a stroller and carseat separately as it would be awful to wake a newborn to transfer into a stroller/bassinet.
We got a Graco Travel system and 4 months later we are still loving it!!!! It's so convenient not to have to put baby in a car seat out in the cold winter air.
You can either get a travel system which comes with a compatible stroller and car seat or buy them separately and buy an adapter. We have an UPPAbaby stroller but a Chicco Keyfit 30 car seat and just have an adapter. But it's important to know that it's not considered safe for babies to spend extended time in a car seat (not in a car). So the adapter/system is helpful for quick trips but if you're going to have them in the stroller longer you should transfer them to a stroller seat.
@Jenna even in a car I’ve been told babies should have a break every 90 minutes to 2 hours while in a car seat?
@Roan hey, I am also looking to buy the graco. Which one exactly did you buy?
@Cydney yeah I think you're right, something like that

We got the Chicco travel system and love it. It was on clearance but it's been great. We were looking at the evenflo pivot system and the only thing the Chicco didn't have was the lay flat bassinet style seat for the stroller but we still got out on a lot of walks with the Chicco carseat that clips into the stroller
I liked the Graco infant seat because it has click connect. Which means you can buy a used stroller with the click connect (pretty much all Graco have this) and an extra base for a second vehicle. Graco also seems to be one of the most widely used, so there was lots of used options available on marketplace etc.
Are you looking for an infant car seat or convertible? Strollers only come with infant car seats.
I believe travel systems are the ones that come with car seats, that’s what we went with - still waiting on our little but the guy at the store who was working in the warehouse area loading cars, had nothing but great things to say about we had bought (he has a 6 month old I think it was). We did the Maxi Cosi Zelia. I liked that you didn’t have to buy an infant bassinet for the stroller separately (the Zelia seat lays flat back into a bassinet)
