exactly why I'm going to get one this summer! great compliment to my vista which i love for grocery shopping and mall walks. UB just came out with the Kona, which is between the Cruz and Minu. I'm excited to check it out this fall when it goes on sale
UB Minu V3, currently internationally travelling with it with a 5 month old and it’s SO easy and compact and used it for daily use as well on gravel, grass and rocky streets. Can store overhead on the plane, folds with a handle that you can use on your shoulder and great customer service. My stroller broke in the bag during our travel and UB replaced the frame free of cost. Only condition for the warranty is to have the UB bag to qualify for the replacement. I’ve completely replaced my UB Cruz with this and haven’t had any issues yet. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!
I had the same concern, but it’s worked well! The only place these travel strollers don’t do well is on literal sand and larger-rock areas (which they obviously aren’t meant to be driven on) and you don’t encounter those terrains often anyways. Our Minu has done really well on all except these two. For me the biggest selling point between the two was the customer service. All popular travel strollers ultimately are good and they all do well with the daily terrains, it comes down to basket size that you require, ease of fold and carry and above all customer service.
We have the Minu V3, live in downtown area too and go on walks frequently, and travelled international with it. Best decision! We also have the Cruz which mainly stays in the garage since it’s heavy to haul in and out of the car, especially when I’m alone with the baby.
Have a Minu V3, and have no issues that you mentioned. Great customer service too, used it for our international travel and we used it ROUGH! And it did great except on literal rocky terrain. Our stroller was also damaged during the flight and Uppababy replaced the parts free of cost.
You won’t find an overhead bin travel stroller that’ll take your car seat except the uppababy minu v3 which is out of your budget, you need additional adapters as well. If you’ll only use it for the trip you could always resell it afterwards and end up spending less than $250. Does it need to take the car seat though?
What about the pivot xpand? That one is cheaper and more popular I believe! We have the evenflo wagon and it’s amazing quality! Dare I say nicer than our uppbaby stroller which was 3x the price lol.
I just got the minu v3 and LOVE it. I live in Vancouver and it's such a neat stroller for public transport and navigating around smaller spaces. Not the best suspension when it comes to bumpy ground but if you're mainly using it as a city stroller it's perfect.
We had the exact same realization after our first trip 😅 full-size travel systems are just too much once you’re packing for a baby.
I’d look at something like the [**UPPAbaby Minu V3**](https://www.babyenroute.com/products/uppababy-minu-v3-stroller). It’s super easy to fold one-handed, really lightweight, and much easier to fit in the car with everything else.
One thing I like about it is that for a travel stroller in Canada, the recline is actually pretty flat, so it works well for younger babies too. The V3 also has a footmuff-style enclosure that kind of cocoons the baby, which is nice for smaller babies around your little one’s age.
It’s mid-range price-wise and you can realistically use it until 4–5 years old, so it ends up being pretty good value.

Travel-friendly, city-nimble, but tiny storage and struggles off-pavement.
