"It fits in the overheard on planes!"
"I also have the vista v3 and use the minu as my secondary. ... I have both in my trunk and tend to reach more for the minu just because it’s lighter and easier since I am on the smaller side 😅"
"It’s my daily pram and I’ve taken it on 5 overseas trips plus many miles in the city and trains/overground."

"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 goes in the overhead compartment of an airplane WITHOUT removing any wheels"
"The only time the Bugaboo didn't fit in the overhead bin was on a very small regional jet, other than that it fit in there perfectly."
"wanted a pram we could take on board and keep with us from Manchester ... it has the same dimensions in case anyone challenged me on size"

"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."

"Overall, we are very happy with the stroller and love that the undercarriage can carry 20 pounds as well. ... What drew us towards minu was the weight capacity of the under basket storage. It’s significantly higher at 20lb on minu vs the others."
"the basket is HUGE for a travel stoller ... the basket on the minu v3 is amazing (I am an overpacker)"
"My oldest and our dog will climb into the basket, putting over 70 lbs in it when it lists not to exceed 30. Still going strong!"

"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."

"I cannot fit library books, my bags, or much really in my yoyo basket. ... by library books, I mean the large children’s books. I have to unhook the basket and squeeze to get them in. I usually end of carrying them in a tote because of that hassle. ... Also, I can’t put a med sized pizza box down there."
"The basket is also tiny. ... I have to pack a different diaper bag when I use this stroller."
"The basket on the Minu is pretty small - that is something that makes it tricky for daily use. ... I’ll use the Vista at the store and not use a cart, but I can’t do that with the Minu."

"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."

"My Nordstrom rep showed me it’s top heavy with a baby in there. ... It really felt unsteady, like if you hung a heavy purse off the handle it could tip backwards."
"we had it with her car seat which is what we used in the early days (don't recommend). I dont like it at all."

"Another downside is that I have a hard time steering it with one hand (like if I am holding a coffee)."
"the steering is so stiff"
"It’s very hard to turn one handed in comparison to the Joolz which is effortless one handed."
1K1AmericanNights 1.0Then I’d lean towards the Minu V3 1) fits in overhead bin so a true travel stroller 2) UPPAbaby’s customer service is way better than Nuna’s
The V3 minu is
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.
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.
50percentpipi 1.0The new uppababy Minu v3 is totally capable of travel and daily suburban strolls. Then when baby is 6 months old you can decide if you want a jogging stroller. But you don’t need that from newborn stage so i wouldn’t worry about it for now. Only drawback for you is the handle does not extend. It’s at an average height so see if you can check it in person.
I also have the Joolz Aer Plus and just tried out the minu v3. I had a hard time opening the minu V3. It is definitely not as smooth as the joolz. I don’t know if I got a defective one or if that’s the way it is on all. Is anyone having trouble with squeeza and fold/ unfold on minu v3? I absolutely love the one-handed fold, and the light weight of the Joolz. I hate the useless recline and the tiny under basket. The minu has a huge and capable basket and a great recline. It’s a tough choice, but it is 3 pounds heavier also
Update…. I also bought from Nordstrom and went ahead and bought a second one just to compare. it didn’t seem right. The fold on my second one so far seems flawless. I think some of the early ones that came out of the minu, V3 have this issue. Luckily I bought this before the enormous price increase.. wow $550!!!
Yes see the Uppababy minu v3. Prices went up recently bc of tarrif anticipation. Thats the only downside but this stroller does it all
I just bought a minu v3 and I’m having trouble getting it open. It opens like two out of three times but I find the squeeze and open mechanism to be not smooth as i hd hoped . Is anyone else having this problem?
Alternative-Key-7350 1.0Also, the Minu V3, at least in the US version, has a wrap around attachment thing to make it newborn ready with side protectors like a bassinet!
Oo I didn’t know the V3 was different! Exciting, the stability/suspension of the Minu combined with a smaller fold is HUGE.
anmsea 1.0I was so excited about the minu V3 and went to Nordstrom to try it out and the fold was so awkward, clunky and hard. It felt like it never locked in place when folding down either. I’m still confused on why so many are raving about it. I feel like Nordstrom wouldn’t have a defective one as their floor model so assumed all were that way.
anticlimaticveg 1.0We use the Uppababy Minu and love it. It had the easiest compact mechanism I found and it feels like it will fit my baby for a long time. It doesn't come with the snack tray but you can buy one separately!
I second the Minu! We love it and the shoulder strap makes carrying it up/down the stairs so much easier
We love the Uppababy Minu for our 25 pounder! We ended up selling our Vista once we got the Minu just because it's so much easier to handle and carry
Antique_Loquat3405 1.0The V3 definitely is infant compatible…and parent facing. It requires dropping the car seat in with mounted adapters
We love the Minu v3. You can buy car seat adapters for $70 or so new — cheaper used/open box. How it folds down and it’s fit into overhead airline bins really the main reason we bought it. It is great for us in NYC; good in small spaces and easy for one parent to manage if going out solo
anxious_teacher_ 1.0The minu v3 is technically infant compatible but I personally would not use it with an infant. They did a better job with the infant capabilities for the Cruz V3
Yeah I went to the store to try it out and was like nooooope. You can’t make them parent facing and it’s not fully flat
aquakatz 1.0I have the minu v3 and the Yoyo Babyzen 2. Honestly can’t really go wrong with either of those for travel strollers. They both fold very compact. I still use my regular stroller 90 percent of the time though because travel strollers are never going to have great suspension and you do feel all the cracks and bumps of the sidewalk.
ash0117 1.0We have the minu v3. It fits in the overhead compartment of a plane, is smooth for the city and has decent storage space.
We love our evenflo revolve 360 extend. We have an uppababy minu v3 for travel which is great and fits overhead in airplanes which was important for us.
We LOVE our Minu. We use it for travel and have used it all over the place. Smooth for a travel stroller and lots of storage.
ashsf 1.0I have the Cruz v3 for my 5 mo old and it’s amazing on gravel and curbs, but incredibly heavy. I am looking for a travel stroller myself since this isn’t it. I tried the minu 3 and returned it because it seemed way too flimsy for the cost. I can’t imagine buying another high priced stroller and considering the Aer+ due to one handed fold.
I got the minu v3 and it seemed so flimsy for the price. Returned it and bought the bugaboo butterfly and I love it so much - one handed fold, super light weight. I’m 5’2 and husband is 6’2 and we both use it comfortably. I tested the AER plus and 2 and this seemed better.
