The UPPAbaby Cruz is sort of a mini vista – stylish and great features. The basket underneath is huge, the extendable canopy can shield out all the sun light. The added suspension on the front wheels further improves the riding experience over bumps and uneven pavements. The stroller also folds up compactly to take minimal space.
Highlights:

- Seat direction: Parent and world-facing. Travel-system compatible: Yes
- Adjustable handlebar: Yes
- Shopping basket weight capacity: 13.6kg
- Rain cover, Mosquito net is included in the purchase
UPPAbaby has a good eye on the latest fashion trends and it always ensures that it introduces new patterns, textiles and color options to appeal to a wide range of users.
- What we like: Huge shopping basket, easy one-step fold
- What we dislike: Heavier than earlier model (but comes with bigger wheels and better suspension)
The Uppababy Cruz V2 now comes with:
- Better suspension performance ensures a softer ride. Bigger wheels allow smoother ride over tough terrain.
- Reflective strips on the side so that its clearly visible at night.
- More comfort for growing toddlers – Seat with higher back, longer leg rest, deeper footrest and taller back rest provide added comfort to growing children. Improved harness for better comfort.
- I guess the best part is that the storage weight capacity is an impressive 13.6kg; the storage capacity of most other pushchair baskets is around 5-10kg of items.
- A smaller fold than its predecessor, and it is self-standing when folded

The UPPAbaby CRUZ is basically a single stroller and while there is no way to add a second seat, you can use the Piggyback ride-along board with the Cruz V2 that will allow an older child to stand and ride behind the stroller.
The Vista is another popular product from Uppababy, a higher model and more expensive than Cruz. In terms of differences between Crux and Vista:
