"uppababy has amazing customer service ... if you buy the travel bag and use it while flying, they will overnight you a new stroller if it breaks."
"Then one of them started to produce a high pitched noise every now and then, called them and they sent me, get a load of this, a brand new one, sealed, worth 700 euros. Not a single question asked, just straight RMA"
"I have an uppababy minu and a part broke within the first year and they replaced it. ... The brakes broke 4 years later and they still replaced it."

"It’s also the only one I found that had a true one hand open/close."
"is really easy to fold one-handed (which is a lifesaver when juggling bags or a squirmy kid)"
"I used it many times flying solo with my little one all the way up to the gate. ... I could hold him and still fold the stroller one handed."

"We got it as more of a travel stroller to keep in the car for errands and visiting the grandparents, etc and use a bugaboo as our everyday stroller for getting around our neighborhood, but it serves that purpose really well!"
"best compact, lightweight stroller! ... the v3 just came out this year and it’s compact enough to put in the overhead bin"
"We have a Minu and carry on over a dozen flights. Fits just fine in overhead."

"If you have wild kids or go over not perfectly smooth sidewalks, it's not great."
"The minu is basically a janky doll stroller in comparison lol. ... I can take the vista across gravel or grass with no issue. The minu is so uncomfortable for my kid and the steering is so stiff and the wheels are tiny. I never use it and wish I hadn’t ever bought it honestly!"
"Walking around, we hit an uneven bit of pavement and it would have tipped over if I hadn’t had a good grip on it."

"The minu v3 is technically infant compatible but I personally would not use it with an infant. ... You can’t make them parent facing and it’s not fully flat"
"my gal decided she hated facing out so ended up adding a Cruz. ... Still likes facing me at almost 2, so still don’t use Minu."
"I originally got a Minu V2 bc I wanted just one stroller, but that only faces out. ... my kid would want to face me instead of look outward. She would just cry and get overwhelmed. Still likes seeing me at 18 months."

"the basket underneath was completely inaccessible from the back. I thought there would at least be some give in the back but there wasn’t lol. Like 2 inches of space to get in the back."
"I walk to the grocery store with my babe often and the basket on it is way too small."
"The aer doesn’t even hold my daily diaper bag. ... The basket is so small."

"Finally, you need two hands to unlatch and unfold it. ... While, these may sound like minor inconveniences, imagine doing that while holding a baby in one arm - impossible! Because of this, I have no faith in being able to travel alone with baby."
"There is no one someone can hold their baby and unfold this easily at the same time. ... It’s a 2 person or put down your baby job"
"In a hurry, closing the Minu took forever and if it closed wrong, it would be all messed up."

"it wasn’t great for travel (we got the Uppababy travel bag but you had to remove the back wheels to fit in, and it’s too big for the overhead compartment on the plane) ... so much so that I have no confidence that I would be able to travel with baby alone without my husband"
"It doesn’t fit in the overhead compartment, so you have to gate check it. ... Even to gate check it with the official Uppababy travel bag, you have to take the back wheels off for it to fit (not a big deal if you have another adult with you, but can’t imagine doing that alone while wrangling baby)."
"The Uppababy Minu is a horrible travel stroller, when there are so many better options out there. ... I have the V2 - it doesn’t fit in the overhead bin so you have to gate check."
I got a minu v2 for 150 on fb marketplace It’s prob the best option for “travel but daily” the butterfly seems more flimsy
r/Buyingforbaby • Best Travel Stroller? ->I wonder if the strollers are different in different markets (or regulated differently). In the US, the V3 is considered safe for infants. I got an old V2 anyway bc I wanted to use the bassinet.
r/Buyingforbaby • If you could have any stroller… ->What car seat do you have? Get the Minu if you already have an uppababy car seat. Otherwise I’d get something cheaper. FWIW you can usually get a V2 for 150-200 used.
r/Buyingforbaby • Travel Stroller Advice for Cabo Trip - 6 Month Old ->It’s tricky. The uppababy minu is a FANTASTIC travel stroller and we flew internationally with it - highly recommend. I got a past version on good buy gear. It’s just not ideal for tiny infants - it’s prob more of a 6 months +. We had the graco version of the vista (modes nest2grow) and it’s large so it’s cumbersome in the car and I wouldn’t fly with it. But it was very nice with the infant seat and holds tons of gear. Ultimately we use the minu a lot and a BOB jogging stroller a lot, the big graco hasn’t made as many trips due to size.
r/BabyBumps • Travel stroller system to rule them all? ->The Uppababy Vista is great (smooth ride, great for in/out with the car seat early on, lots of storage space below, the snack tray) except it is HUGE, like takes up the entire trunk of your crossover SUV huge, and their parent organizer is terrible (velcro doesn't stay put and eventually damages the stitching on the leather grips). I keep it setup in the garage exclusively for walks around the neighborhood now. You can also almost use it as a jogger. I switched to the Uppababy Minu travel stroller in the car (bought for traveling along with the travel bag). The steering is not great but it's nice and compact and the sun shade is very large. I'll have to go back to the Vista when baby #2 arrives which will most likely mean also upgrading my car so we can all fit!! Plan all along was to give the Minu to my husband after baby #2 arrives so he can have his own stroller for the infant so that's why the double Ubbababy investment. Go to Nordstrom and look at all of them in person. Tell them what your priorities are (compact, full size, travel, multiples, etc.) and they will show you your best options and answer all of your questions. Also measure your trunk! 😅
r/BabyBumps • Please just tell me what stroller to buy ->The uppababy minu is actually not exactly cabin compatible. Lots of airlines do not allowed them on board and need to get gate checked.
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • Joolz Aer2 or Uppababy Minu V3 as travel stroller (and in airplane)? ->I got the Uppababy Minu and it replaced my Fox- my then 3 year old had more head room and it's fantastic. I bought the snack tray and have then on all the time. One handed fold, never made a creak and fantastic canopy. I didn't like the Bugaboo having the mesh panel in the middle- waste of sun protection imo. I haven't done more than train and car, but I love it and wish the V2 was out when I got a big pram as I may have got that instead.
r/BabyBumpsandBeyondAu • Best Travel Pram ->We have the uppababy minu and infant car seat for it. He’s 2.5 now so we don’t use the car seat and honestly didn’t use that for long so idk if it was worth it, but the minu is great. Super light/small and zips easily into a backpack you can carry on your bag and gate check. This is how we travel. I have a Cruz v2 for everyday use and wouldn’t travel with it
r/NewParents • Is Uppababy stroller & car seat too much for airport? ->We have a Cruz and a minu and I wouldn’t use a minu for everyday use. It doesn’t roll through sand, dirt, non-smooth surfaces and isn’t sturdy enough to survive tons and tons of usage IMO. It also is pretty flimsy which might make it hard for a baby who isn’t a strong sitter to even sit in. It’s not as adjustable, though you can lean it back a bit, but it’s not going to be as supportive and an infant wouldn’t like being in it for long. We love it for travel but nothing else. The Cruz is a great everyday stroller and actually easier to push around as a small woman, because it steers so well. It does “off roading” so well that we’ve even taken it to the beach and it can roll through the sand 😂
r/NewParents • UPPAbaby Cruz vs Minu which is better for us? ->I would strongly suggest not using your car seat on the airplane at that age. Just make sure they have their own seat and bring a blow up thing that goes between the edge of the seat/the back of the seat I front of you. It basically creates a bed for the kiddo. I also suggest the Minu. It’s gotten us through Europe. The Uppa Baby car seat also fits into it with adapter things you can buy separately.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • Best travel stroller for Europe ->We do the same! Big stroller for park and long walks, Minu is always in the car for quick trips to the store or coffee shop!
r/NewParents • Strollers - what did you wish you knew before you bought? ->Uppababy Minu. Used it as an everyday and have travelled with it A LOT (to Italy, Florida, Dominican Republic etc) and still works well.
r/BabyBumpsCanada • Recommendations: Everyday stroller that is also good for traveling [on] ->I don’t like my minu V2. I wish I had bought the bugaboo butterfly instead.
r/BabyBumps • Lightweight strollers useable from birth without a car seat? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
