"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 😅"
"fits in overhead compartment of plane"
"It fits in the overheard on planes!"

"one hand compact fold"
"One handed fold and one handed unfold - totally necessary with a baby who doesn’t walk yet."
"How it folds down and it’s fit into overhead airline bins really the main reason we bought it."

"It fits in the overheard on planes!"
"the size being approved for overhead compartments in airplanes was the real deal maker. ... Not having to gate check the stroller and all the damage they typically get when doing so is well worth the price difference in our opinion."

"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)"
"has the biggest basket of any"

"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."
"I chose all uppababy strollers (Minu2 and Vista2) because their customer service is so good. We have a local baby shop and if anything goes wrong while I'm under warranty they will replace it on the spot or have uppababy overnight it to me."
"if you use Uppababy’s travel bag and the bag or stroller are damaged, Uppababy will cover the repairs. ... Uppababy sent us a new bag as well as a new Minu frame and canopy. We just had to put the soft/fabric parts on the new frame and we were good to go! ... Their customer service is excellent."

"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."

"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."
"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"
"Great for 5months+ but not ideal prior to that. The recline isn’t enough for many parents to be comfortable with newborn floppy neck/no bassinet."

"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!"
"Minu sucks. Almost topples over when there is strong wind or terrain that isn't a smooth sidewalk."
"It doesn’t roll through sand, dirt, non-smooth surfaces"

"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
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?
ahdmsid 1.0We 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.
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.
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!
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.
as12578 1.0I had similar issue didn’t wanna buy 2 strollers so we got uppababy minu v3. It has been good for daily walks.. grass snow everywhere! It’s pretty lightweight so would be a great travel stroller too .. u can use it once in bambi baby store and use it on all terrains at the store
