MINU Duo

If you have the aria car seat, would you consider a used UB Minu stroller? It might fit overhead but also can gate check. I have the minu duo with the bag and the bag is pretty solid. Also gate checking the doona, if you plan to also use it as a car seat, runs a risk of damage to the doona which could impact the safety of the seat.

Uppa baby minu double is 50lbs for both seats. I think you d probably got a little wiggle room but it will compromise the frame over time. I know one-off I’ve def put more in the basket than recommended

So generally I love uppababy products. Vista v2 first used for a singleton and later as 2 under 2. (Not quite a mom of multiples). I love vista. I also have a minu v2 which I love. Smooth ride, easy fold, comfortable seat. Now minu duo has a smooth ride but I don’t love it. It’s good but it could be better. It accommodate a smaller frame the seat are narrow and not as comfortable. It doesn’t come with a belly/bumper bar. It’s less hassle than converting vista into a double so I believe I will learn to love the duo. Duo (similar to a single minu) is not suitable for rough terrain). If you have more questions I can asnwer them.

I have the uppababy minu duo and I’ve been using it since my 8 week olds were born. We love it. It’s definitely not as nice and cozy as a double bassinet would have been, but our girls don’t seem to mind. We strap them in with the harness and wrap blankets around them. They both love it and happily nap in there when we go on walks. There’s good storage space under the seats. It’s got great control and steering. It folds up nicely and isn’t too bulky or heavy when we get it in and out of the car. It’s fit through all doorways we’ve gone through. I’d recommend it!

We have twins and we have a bugaboo donkey 5 for everyday use. its nice and Big, the kids sits comfortably and the wheels are smooth as well. Then we have a second travel stroller the minu Duo. The Donkey was just impossible for travelling. Its big and heavy and a pain flying with it, folding it and storing it on the top compartment on a plane to Japan. Thats when the smaller foldable minu duo comes in for travelling

I got an Uppababy Cruz (single) gently used on Facebook Marketplace and it's been great! We had intended to space pregnancies about two years apart. Then I got unexpectedly pregnant with my 2nd at 5 months postpartum - due in January - and I recently bought a very gently used Uppababy Minu Duo on FB Marketplace. I wanted a side by side that could be used from birth on where you can also click a car seat into & I personally really hated the Vista and how heavy it was and its configurations for two. Honestly I don't regret what we did in terms of stroller decisions because I'm sure we'll use the Cruz a lot still!

I have an Uppababy Cruz and will likely keep it because it came with the piggyback ride-along board (bought it off FB marketplace). I really wanted a side by side stroller for both kiddos (they'll be 13-14 months apart) though instead of the Vista so I looked for months and ended up purchasing a gently used Uppababy Minu Duo off of FB Marketplace. You can use the Minu Duo from newborn onwards and you can clip in an Uppababy car seat with adapters! It's very lightweight compared to the Vista and folds more compact as well.

Echoing what several folks have said - I use the Uppababy Vista as my day to day, but I think it depends on your use profile. I’m in NYC so a lot of walking and not a lot of getting in and out of cars. The Vista is really big and heavy if you’ll be getting in and out of cars a lot. I just got the Minu Duo as my travel stroller for when we will be driving or flying somewhere, but I don’t think I’d use that for newborns. Also, for the Vista, I had the Aria car seats that clip in easily.

I have the Uppababy Minu Duo that we use as our everyday stroller. We've been using it since baby was 5 months old. My kids are now 2.5 and 1. For context, I also have the Uppababy Cruz which I love. The Minu Duo is good for city use. I say that because it's fine on pavement, but I find it struggles with rougher terrain that the Cruz can handle like loose gravel, gravel trails, bumpy grassy fields. I suspect the other 2 strollers you are considering would have the same issue because of the small wheels. That said, I'm fine with that because it's rare that I encounter those types of terrain. The trade off for a lighter stroller is worth it for me, especially because I need to carry the stroller up and down a set of stairs from my front door. I find the Cruz feels smoother to push, maybe because of the larger wheels, but it could also be because I'm only pushing 1 child vs 2.
