Just ordered the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 because of your review and months of research on strollers. Thanks so much for the thorough review and feedback!

Wow. I’ve been looking at so many videos and this was straight to the point and answered all the questions I had to make sure this was the right investment for our family. Thank you so much!!! Great video!!

No way … I started following first when my 4YO was born, and now that we’re waiting for the 2nd one you’ve got the right answers

A year in with my Cruz V2 and im still just as obsessed with it as I was the day we purchased it. It’s an amazing stroller.

How is Cruz on a rougher terrain? Is it smooth enough on a more rougher cobble, potholes etc? Could baby wake up from the vibrations etc? Thanks.

Went with the Cruz V2 and a piggyback when we had #2. Couldn't be happier. The folding with the piggyback attached takes some practice for sure. Also we got the infant insert and while it's amazing, since we have a toddler it was inconvenient for when he wanted to sit. We ended up just keeping the little infant head cushion in and removed the rest. it still worked fine (our baby is 24" and 14pds for reference). We also got the snack tray and it's fine IF you know you'll use it a lot but we found it not worth it in the end personally.

Great review mate. This video just helped me confirm my thoughts and we're getting this pram. We were thinking on going for the Vista just because it has the bassinet, but we thought we could just buy one in Market place for cheap.

Note the travel bag travel safe program is good for 4 years. I just had a very smooth process getting a toddler seat frame replaced after it was broken by delta baggage.

Very helpful video - thanks!!

I absolutely love my Cruz v2. It’s compact enough to fit in t my urban arrow bike and I love the large, height-adjustable canopy.

The compact fold design is honestly my favorite part of the stroller. They did such a great job with the V2 to make major improvements over the V1.

I couldn’t agree more. I initially invested in the city select lux to be able to use it as a double. My toddler ended up not liking the stroller much by age 2 and wanted to use the kickboard only. So I got a secondhand 2018 Cruz and piggyback and we use that with the car seat attachments. It’s been amazing. These v2 improvements look great though- especially suspension. One thing I’m sooo so disappointed about is that baby jogger discontinued the seats for the city select and now I can only use it as a single. I think it’s so unethical for them to discontinue a relatively new stroller and second seat making it unusable as a double. I’m committed to uppa baby now.

Thank you for saying this because I was thinking about a baby Jogger first but yeah the fact that they discontinued the seats like you said is unethical. Also, the new baby joggers price is close to the uppa baby’s one without the 4 wheel suspension. Huh 🤔

We originally bought the City Select 2 which, it was too heavy and not great for us in other ways. I didn’t want to invest in a whole new travel system stroller but I wanted an Uppababy so the Cruz V2 it was. I know it was the right choice because I have never second guessed the purchase. I use it every day and it’s been one of my best baby buys by far.

Great review! Would you be reviewing the valco snap ultra trend? Would love to see how that stroller compares!

Is the suspension on the vista v2 a lot better than the Cruz v2? Or is it similar. I’m trying decide between the two and am having a hard time!

Hi thanks for this review. Any recommendation of a lie-flat infant car seat that would be compatible with the Cruz v2? Thanks 😊

We currently have a Bumbleride Era, do you like the Cruz that much more? I know you’ve tried the era as well. Considering another daily driver to maybe leave my era in garage

Hi, have you been able to try any of the Nuna strollers ? Currently comparing the Cruz V2 to the Nuns triv/trvl pipa. Thanks !

Can you do a comparison of the Cruz v2 vs the Bumbleride Era? Also, do you have any plans to review the Thule Shine?

Hi Dad Verb, we got the mesa car seat with the v2 Cruz. We noticed a wobble on the seat (up and down) once we attach it to the stroller frame. Is this normal? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Uppababy Cruz V2 or Silver Cross Reef? City dweller with streetcar tracks so terrain capabilities needed. Stroller will be the primary mode of transport for little (and occasionally groceries)

If you had to choose between a good condition used Uppababy Cruz or brand new mockingbird, which would be preferred?

I was interested in the vista because it comes with the bassinet but… when you compared prices, the Cruz + mess car seat is the same price as the vista so, my choice has changed! Thanks for the video 😊

I finally bit the bullet and bought a Cruz V2 today! Thanks so much for this video! I must have watched it 8 times before making my decision.

I have a backup, Evenflo, in case we just cannot afford it.

Leaning towards buying the cruz but want to get a stroller that can go on some uneven surfaces like gravel or even dirt trail. Would the cruz manage okay on those or should I go with the Bumbleride Era or another all terrain stroller with bigger wheels? I also value an easy fold and being compact.

@stebesplace

Жыл бұрын

I’m between these two and unfortunately there isn’t a dealer near me for Bumbleride. I really believe you would buy the Era simply for the wheels and eco conscious materials. The fold mechanism looks clunky, and difficult to get free standing. Everything about the Cruz appears better in every way except the wheels. For that, unless you REALLY go off the beaten path frequently, I’d choose the Cruz V2. The Mesa V2 is a really nice seat too, very integrated with the Cruz with no need to use an adapter.

Does the seat work well for toddlers? I saw a few comments about the Nuna Mixx was a bit cramped and not deep enough for toddlers. For that reason I’m leaning towards the Cruz V2.

Please review nuna mix next 🙏

How is Cruz compared to Vista on a rougher terrain? As the Vista has 4 wheel suspension and larger wheels is it much better/smoother on a rougher terrain or Cruz is still ok? I am not talking about dirt, mud hilly terrain, more like rougher cobble, bumpy areas with small tree branches on the ground, raised floor tiles etc.

I’ve had the Cruz v2 for five months with my newborn and I give it a 9/10. We moved from the bassinet to the seat a month ago. The cruz v2 is very well built, pushes brilliantly and has great storage. It’s basically a slightly smaller vista v2 with no second child options. Don’t buy the buggy board, or any buggy board, they wreck your wheels/suspension. If you’ve got any questions just ask. We’ve had this for 17 months now, it’s absolutely rock solid and working as well as the day we bought it. I may buy a minu v2 for travel however, the Cruz is a bit big when folded up on public transport.

If the Cruz V2 came with the bassinet it would be a no brainer. Once you add the bassinet attachment it’s only like $100 cheaper than the Vista so for me I’d prefer the future proofing of the Vista for a little more money. I’m have a spring baby and I think I’ll get a lot of use out of the bassinet in the early month going for walks etc.

Thanks for all the videos. As a new dad, all your info is very helpful. Although you have to stop recommending this stroller because my wife demands it now lol and spending $1,100 + all the accessories and what not is killing me! lol

I know this is a year old but for anyone else currently: my husband and I looked at the Minu V2 yesterday and Ridge (I'm 5ft and wanted something light and smaller than the Cruz & Vista). After looking at it in person, we were not impressed and decided the Cruz was the best option. Yes it was smaller but it felt very cheap and the wheels were drastically smaller than the Cruz (of course it's way cheaper as well but didn't feel like I was getting my monies worth). Taking the seat off and on (you wouldn't be doing all the time, but still) was a pain for us. We did like how it folded. The Ridge was awesome but MASSIVE but has other perks like its break and it felt very sturdy and rugged but way to heavy to lift into a tall SUV for me. Also keep in mind you will need the adaptors for the carseat. The Minu can be folded with them on. If you love the Minu and it's works for you then that's awesome! But we had to drive over an hour away to look because I couldn't find anything helpfull enough to make that desicion for us online. 😊

I have it! I love how it works with the nuna pippa because the adaptor folds. I also have the vista and it does not compare (the vista is so much better!) I got the triv for my second baby because I went with the nuna pipa for car seat and so far so good. My kids are 3 years apart so my daughter barely used a stroller anymore. I recommend it as a lightweight stroller, but the Cruz looks so much better. This Cruz looks like a dream! But my husband said 3 strollers is enough 😂😂

This is a really good question. The Fox has a great functionality and a super good drive - overall a great stroller But I'm honestly not a fan of its fold and ultimately favor the CRUZ for it's compact design. And factoring in price, it's cheaper than the Fox which helps guide the decision.

I can't believe you recommended this, it is so heavy so it is not good for anyone who just had a baby and doesn't work out, the seat is very low, to the point the basket isn't accessible properly and their feet sits at the basket when parent facing, once again did I say how heavy it is? It is not kid sized, it'd a big problem lifting it, this is definitely a paid promotional ad. For the size you would think it would be all terrain but be warned it is not all terrain that is why you will feel it wobbling as it's like buying a cheap e.g Britain pram.
