Uppababy Cruz V2: Review

The new Uppababy Cruz V2 is a compact high-tech stroller featuring a shock-absorbing, all-wheel suspension, a comfy seat and spacious storage space underneath. It features a new design and upgraded level of strolling performance. The stroller features a smaller fold, slightly larger wheels, comes with improved suspension, a larger toddler seat, and the chassis that resembles the Vista pushchair. See PRICE on Amazon

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:

• Max child weight limit: 22kg (50.00 lbs). Suitable from birth: With carrycot only. Weight of pushchair: 12.1kg (25.50 lbs)
• 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
