"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."
"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"

"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."
Then 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
r/Buyingforbaby • Uppababy Minu V3 or Nuna TRVL LX for everyday 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 ->The 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.
r/Buyingforbaby • Yet another stroller post ->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
r/Buyingforbaby • Our Minu V3 review vs Aer + ->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!!!
r/Buyingforbaby • Our Minu V3 review vs Aer + ->Yes see the Uppababy minu v3. Prices went up recently bc of tarrif anticipation. Thats the only downside but this stroller does it all
r/moderatelygranolamoms • Moms, what attracted you to buy that stroller? ->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?
r/Buyingforbaby • What stroller should I get? ->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.
