UPPAbaby - G-Link V2

From birth till 2 we flew with our Uppababy vista double. First with just the car seats and the bassinets, then just car seats and toddler/rumble seats, and then just the rumble seats and our non Uppababy car seat. We just flew again at 2.5 and switched to the Uppababy double umbrella stroller, I think it’s called g link v2 or something. Also our car seats. We loved the vista and it was so great for the airport. So easy to maneuver one handed and still push around luggage, or hold one fussy child. But it takes up more space in rental vehicles and we didn’t always want the necessary space for that. Plus we do Disney and needed something easier for getting on and off busses. So switching to the double umbrella stroller was perfect. It’s so easy, just folded down so nice and fits into one bag. Anyway we love our double strollers.

No regrets in our tandem. Loved having the options of bassinets or car seats in the beginning. The toddler seats on that one at least lay flat, so that was awesome. It went on multiple flights with us, Disney a few times, countless zoos, walks, and just general errands. It was easy to maneuver and I never had to worry about width. Only occasionally would its length need some extra attention in tight places. Never had concerned about one being on top or bottom. We just rotated and eventually let them pick where they sat. Hardly ever any fights over it. When our girls were 1, we did get two cheap umbrella strollers for the occasional use when we didn’t need a big one. If we each took one kid on our own errands for instance. Or to some sporting events when we wanted the ease of folding them down. Eventually we felt we outgrew the tandem and did get a double umbrella stroller, also Uppababy. Luckily this one is super narrow so never had any door frame worries there. I’m glad we stuck with our gut to get the tandem stroller, I’m sure I would have been annoyed a the cumbersome nature that a big side by side stroller appears to be.

I traveled to Europe last summer with a 3yr old and 18 month old. I used the uppababy G-link double stroller. It was actually great, handled the cobble stone streets well and closes and opens up really easily. We took it on trains and fit inside the trunk of cabs easily. Has some storage underneath as well which is always handy. We still use this stroller regularly and kids are almost 5 and 2.5.

No doubt, traveling with two little ones is tough enough, and bulky strollers just add to the stress. But you can definitely find lightweight, versatile strollers that include bassinets and work with infant car seats. Models like the UPPAbaby G-Link V2 and Baby Jogger City Tour 2 fold compactly, are easy to maneuver, and switch from single to double easily. As a mom, I totally get the overwhelm of endless stroller research, [this thread with top double stroller](https://www.reddit.com/r/KeepThisInMind/comments/1lourwj/recommend_the_best_double_strollers_for_travel/) reviews really helps clear things up and can make your travels smoother.

We have the uppababy g luxe for our travel luxe for our travel stroller and it has all of the features you’re looking for. I’m pregnant now and purchased the uppababy g- link which is the double version of the g luxe. Our daughter is 3 and can easily get in and out of it by herself, it has a good recline, and also has a large basket.

We tried a wagon and have mixed feelings about it. It's a pain to fold up and open up. The canopies keep falling off when you move it in and out of a vehicle. We flew with it one time and the airline personnel kept ripping off the canopies, using them as handles. If you could just keep it in wagon mode all the time it would be great. But it's not very portable. Our uppa baby side by side double stroller has been much more handy.

Our first was 15 months when our second arrived. We baby wore out second most of the time and our first was on the stroller. We have the double stroller uppa baby, but it is bulky (and ridiculously expensive) we ended up getting a cheaper double from Amazon, the Dream On Me Twin Double by Volvo. The second can't use it until they had decent head control, but it lays back for each and fits through standard doorways better that other side-by-side strollers and super light weight. AND it doesn't break the bank. We

We love our V2. My daughter is 4.5 and we still use it all the time for Disney and the zoo. The bassinet was a huge plus when she was a baby because it’s not safe to leave them in the car seat for long periods of time so anytime we went on walks, the mall, etc the bassinet was great.

We are by no means rich, but we got a great deal on the uppababy stroller v2 this fall. Uppababy just introduced a new model, the V3 so they put the V2’s on sale. In addition to the sale, we found a killer open box deal. We also considered that we would be using the stroller quite a bit so it was one item. We are willing to splurge on. We paid $630 on Strolleria. The stroller regularly retails for about 900 so we were able to get the infant car seat and the stroller for the same price as a brand new stroller. Check out open box deals, it’s a great way to get really nice stuff for a lot less, you may not get the color you want, but you’re getting something really nice with a little lower price tag.

I have the Uppababy - V2 not V3 but same same. It is neither lightweight nor easy to fold down. It is smooth as butter though?

They just came out with V3 and V2 was the version from 2015-early 2025. I’d definitely suggest V2 (which near me runs about $500-700 used with all accessories).
