The Review
The good
The materials are definitely very high-quality, it is easy to fold with one hand (usually), the basket is huge and we can hang a lot of bags off of it, it is pretty light, it is easy enough to clean. Also the tires a pretty big and smooth for baby, and it is easy to control.
Nitpicks
It is difficult to open with one hand, the little latch thing is difficult to pull while also pulling on the handle, none of the 8+ flights we have been on have let us check in the overhead compartment (only gate check), it is approved from 3 months, but it doesn't quite lay flat enough. It also seems to kind of promote slouching? The seat has this extra panel that seems a little odd.
Why this one?
We did a ton of research, ultimately we wanted a lightweight travel stroller with a big basket. UPPAbaby as a company aligned with our values, and this stroller seemed to fit the bill.
My hot take
If you are looking for a travel stroller and that is the main goal, just buy the Yoyo - we have been on a lot of flights in and out of Europe and the only stroller they will actually consistently allow on the plane is the Yoyo. Unfortunately Delta broke the brakes on our stroller when we gate checked it - so I think this matters.
The Purchase
Where?
It was on our registry - direct from UPPA Baby
