UPPAbaby - Cruz V3

The uppababy cruz with the matching uppababy mesa car seat, it was best, lasts long easy to clean, really smooth ride, the carrier basket in stroller can hold so much weight, pretty durable handle any way

Similar situation, got a Cruz and loved it. Fit in the trunk, super sturdy for walks. Easily adds on accessories for more kiddos of when toddler aged. Highly recommend. Also, great customer service. 4 years later, still in use and working great.

We have the Mountain Buggy Nano which does “fit” the Cosco Scenera. For whatever reason, our 3yo has decided it’s her preferred stroller over our Uppababy so we’ve used it A LOT in the past few months. As an everyday stroller, it’s just ok. I miss the Uppababy’s much smoother ride. The big plus is that our kid really likes it. It’s a little small. I’m 5’8” and it’s a hair too short for me. Both my husband and I have accidentally engaged the brake by taking a big step. The folding/unfolding mechanism is not intuitive, and requires two hands and emptying out nearly all the storage, so it’s best used like a regular stroller that you happened to bring on a plane or in a car, it’s not something that makes trains and buses that much easier other than being lightweight.

We arent sure about #2 and it will probably be a couple years if it happens, so went with the Cruz with bassinet and Aria carseat. We have a car so wont be using Uber much. Plan to get the yoyo for subway travel. Uppababy has a service center relatively close by in Brooklyn which is super helpful if anything goes wrong. There were also some recalls on Nuna items recently, so between those factors and recs from friends, we went with the Uppababy system. Very happy so far. Ultimately your stroller choice is very lifestyle dependent.

Depends. I live in a city. A cheap stroller won’t last for the amount of time I’ll need it for. The uppababy ones were crucial for me. If you’re in the burbs I’d largely agree with you.

Omg we got the v3 for the same reasons with no research and my friends instantly told me I should’ve went for the Cruz. Good to see it’s not a deal breaker

I hadn't really used FB in years, but it is seriously amazing for baby stuff! I got a halo bassinet for free, an Uppababy stroller for $250, and sooo many clothes for like $1-2 each or free. People genuinely just want to get rid of things!!

I’ll never regret getting my Uppababy, it was expensive but it’s a beast I don’t drive so it’s been used practically daily for 3 years and it’s still perfect, not so much as a wobbly wheel and the size of the basket in the bottom is amazing, I can fit a few days worth of groceries in it, and the bassinet is approved for safe sleep so we were able to use that in the living room for naps till he outgrew it. I could go on, I sound like an ad but seriously it’s the best thing we bought for our kid

I have both the Vista and the Cruz. Both are really good. Really depends on if you think you want more kids at some point.

I have always travelled with a vista an a Cruz. They aren’t too bad to travel with and you can just put it in a travel bag and gate check it. With that said, I recently got the Skip3 because I am flying long haul solo with 4 kids and I love it. It’s also not ridiculously expensive and has a 20% off right now. Tips for travel - plenty of food for baby and a few toys they like, a portable changing mat and 2 change of clothes. It’s not an easy flight going there but it’s manageable. Good luck!

100% recommend. We have the Vista and the Cruz and love both. Have taken them overseas - handled rough cobblestones roads, grass and going off road totally fine.

I have 3. Uppababy Cruz is my everyday stroller, a BOB from fb marketplace is my winter/snow stroller, Mountain Buggy Nano is my travel stroller (has gone all over Canada, US, China, and Portugal). Love all three.

Personally i don't think there is a stroller that will fit both 1 and 2. Usually strollers that are good in snow will be jogging strollers or at least strollers with larger wheels. Even uppababy vista will get stuck in the snow and slush. Personally I have an everyday stroller that's easy to fold (in my case I have a Cruz) and a secondary stroller for winter (i bought a BOB on marketplace for $100).

Also a Toronto mom and I'm 5'3. I have an Uppababy Cruz, and it's perfect. It's narrow and fits through all the doors, easy to take on the TTC (subways and streetcars), it has a huge under seat basket for grocery shopping. It's not an one-hand fold but it folds easily and is compact enough to not take up the entire trunk if you had to drive somewhere or even for Uber rides. However, it is not good enough for winter when there's lots of snow and slush on the sidewalk so for that I had a second stroller that's a jogging stroller that I got on fb marketplace. The Cruz is a perfect urban everyday stroller outside of those couple months in winter.

Uppababy Cruz was what I had when I thought I only wanted one child. It's light compared to others, it folds up fairly compact and didn't take up all the trunk space in the car. It's narrow and fits through all the doors and is very easy to take on public transit. It has a huge under seat basket that's easy to reach into for shopping. The seat has a nice and big canopy with an inside UV extension that you can pull down or fold in, when it's pulled down it pretty much covers the entire seat and baby is perfectly shaded. I had an infant insert and my daughter had used it from about a week old. Now 9 years later after my first I'm pregnant with my second and plan to use the same Cruz I had with my first. It still works perfectly, we might get new replacement wheels but everything else has held up extremely well. It's a great stroller.
