From the second I started pushing the Uppababy Minu V3, it really impressed me. Though it’s a travel stroller that has a simple fold and fits into most overhead bins, it rolls along like a full-size stroller. It’s so much sturdier than many of the other travel strollers I tested, and it’s easy to push one-handed, making it an ideal option when you’re pulling a suitcase or other luggage.

The UPAB menu V3 is a new stroller that's already a parent favorite. I'm Ariana, the product specialist here at Macrobaby, and today I'm going to be telling you why it's a parent favorite. This is a compact stroller that is super lightweight. It only weighs 16.7 lb. It is IATA certified, which means it is cabin approved. It is perfect to bring on all your travels.

The @uppababy Minu V3 has become our go to stroller and for good reason. We’re always on the move and even though it’s technically a travel stroller, we use it every single day. It’s lightweight, compact enough to fit in the car easily, but still feels sturdy and smooth to push around the city. The one hand fold is a game changer when you’re juggling everything else.

Now Upab definitely listen to parent feedback because they now have a new taller seat and newborn compatible recline and it's now IATA approved which means it will fit in more overhead bins. But before we jump into that, let's start with the handlebar. The handlebar is actually a really good height. I know that some parents at 6'2 are comfortable with it.

If your budget allows, the UPPAbaby Minu v3 is an excellent choice. It's more compact than a full-size stroller but still offers the features, quality, and functionality parents want. It can serve as a dependable stroller whether you're out and about daily or traveling frequently.

And one of my favorite features next to the newborn recline is that the seat now sits higher, closer to parent on the stroller. That's something I really missed on the Cruise V2. And you still get the canopy that adjusts higher and lower as your child grows, giving them more head space.

So, you're going to get a long life of the stroller right from your initial purchase. Now, from a dimension standpoint, it is going to be smaller than the Vista. So you're looking at 37.5 in long, 22.5 in wide. So you've got a slight adjustment in space saver versus some of the bigger strollers. And it's only going to be about 41.8 in high off the ground.

Quick answer: Choose Minu V3 if you want one compact stroller for one child. Choose Minu Duo if two children will ride often enough that a dedicated double stroller is easier than a board, carrier, or occasional workaround.

Unlike some ultralight models that sacrifice comfort or storage, the Minu V3 provides a full‑size seat and a 20‑lb basket, while still folding compactly. I will admit, though, that its folded size is a bit bulkier than other travel strollers. The Minu is not considered one of the tiniest folds, but it is a premium stroller for other reasons (read on).

For everyday use, the Minu V3 is still impressive. It offers a newborn-ready recline , one-hand fold, lightweight frame, integrated carry strap , and a generous 20-pound storage basket . However, it is best suited for paved and smooth surfaces and does not include the same premium features or versatility as the Kona.

But something to note is that it is not a stroller for off-roading, which means that because of the type of wheels it has, you have to really consider the different types of terrain when it's rougher, rockier, maybe unpaved paths. It's probably built for more like city scenarios. Urban life. This has a really large canopy and different modes. It extends.

On the negative side, the upright position on the MINU V3 is also a tad more sloped than on the V2 version, exasperating a common complaint that both models share of children sometimes sliding a bit too far forwards, which can be uncomfortable.

In short: Colugo fixed the big pain points (true one-handed fold, better buckle, taller handlebar) and delivers ~85% of the MINU experience for ~60% of the price. MINU still wins on ride, seat depth, basket size, and premium feel.

My one critique here is that while it folds compactly for a full-size stroller, it's not the lightest option on the market. So, if you're frequently hauling it into car trunks, you'll notice the weight. Let's pause here for a quick moment.
