Transitioning to One Child Needing A Stroller | UPPAbaby MINU Review

When we purchased our first stroller 5 and a half years ago, we did a lot of research and kept coming back to the UPPAbaby VISTA. Now, we’re transitioning to having only one child who needs a stroller. It seems that UPPAbaby read my mind for what we needed because they recently brought out the UPPAbaby MINU. To put things simply, we love this stroller!

UPPAbaby MINU FEATURES

• The stroller can be folded in one motion with the one-handed, one-step fold. Making it the easiest stroller we have ever folded.
• It has a large, easy-access basket under the seat. There is plenty of room to store a full-size diaper bag and then some.
• The extendable, UPF 50+ sunshade is something we love when it comes to UPPAbaby strollers and it’s not to be missed on the MINU. The sunshade provides plenty of coverage from harmful UV rays for your child.
• With a roomy and comfortable seat that holds up to 50lbs, it is a stroller that can keep up with a growing child. Plus a 5-point harness with padded straps that are fully adjustable.
• The MINU also has a multi-position recline allowing your child to lie down for a rest or sit up and look out at the world around them.
• The all-wheel suspension makes for smooth strolling, even across the cracks of sidewalks and the odd bumps you’ll roll across, keeping your little one comfy when out for a stroll.
• A brake system that is very easy to use with just the touch of your foot to click the brake in place or release it so you can get moving again with ease.

WHY WE LOVE THE UPPAbaby MINU

Our toddler instantly took to this stroller, she runs up to it and gives it a hug whenever we unfold it to use. This confirmed that the MINU is the right stroller for our family. We love that we can fold it with one hand and in one motion. My husband and I love how little space it takes up in the back of our SUV and inside our house. We can easily store it in our car or tuck it away in a closet at home. The MINU is just under 15 lbs, which means it is a lightweight stroller, and it is incredibly functional, sturdy and portable.

These features make this stroller a traveler’s dream. Next family trip that requires going through an airport, this stroller will be coming with us. It even has a built-in carry handle and shoulder strap! It makes a huge difference when you can have your stroller over your shoulder and two hands-free to hold onto your kids if need be.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN A STROLLER

A very important thing that we look for in a stroller is its maneuverability. I have been able to sip my coffee while my toddler was seated in the stroller and steer the MINU with one hand no problem. It handled tight walkways and corners with ease. It even managed the “curb-pop” no without an issue. UPPAbaby has truly thought about what parents want in a smaller stroller and put it in the MINU.

The UPPAbaby MINU is making our transition to one child needing a stroller go very smoothly. We do not feel like we are missing out on anything that a full-size stroller may have to offer. It folds incredibly easy, the storage basket is very spacious, and it has many of the features I want in a stroller; extendable canopy, multi-position recline, and easy to use brakes. This is a fantastic stroller for parents who are expecting their first or parents who find themselves in the same place as us and needing something smaller as their kids grow up. The UPPAbaby MINU is an incredible stroller!
