After testing the UPPAbaby Minu V3 on everything from city sidewalks to airport terminals, I can confidently say it’s the Goldilocks of strollers—not too bulky, not too flimsy, just right.

The one-handed fold is a game-changer. I’ve collapsed it mid-sprint while holding coffee (priorities), and it stands upright like a obedient Labrador. The integrated carry strap makes staircases and airplane aisles way less dramatic.

That generous basket? It swallowed my diaper bag, laptop case, and an impulse-buy cactus from Home Depot. The canopy coverage puts vampire-level sun protection to shame—my napping toddler didn’t even flinch in direct sunlight.

Yes, you’ll feel every sidewalk crack (it won’t massage your baby to sleep like a luxury SUV suspension), but the trade-off is worth it when you’re gate-checking with one hand while wrangling a tantrum-throwing preschooler with the other.

Pro tip: Skip the Savannah color unless you enjoy explaining ‘why does Mommy’s stroller look like dirty dishwater?’ to judgmental park moms. The Jake colorway hides snack spills like a champ.
