New UppaBaby Cruz V3 Newborn friendliness

The old version of the UppaBaby Cruz stroller was suitable from 3 months up, but the new V3 is newborn-ready. Not only does the stroller feature a full lie-flat recline but it also comes with the infant snug seat which includes a wedge and head positioner making it extra comfy for baby.
On top of that you can choose to get the bassinet accessory (which we love) which is overnight sleep ready with lots of cross ventilation panels.

There are a few new features to note with the UppaBaby Cruz V3. These include:
- Longer handlebar - making it comfy for taller parents

- More ventilation in the canopy - meaning breezier strolls where you can see your bub in a jiff!
- One-hand footrest - meaning if your little one is ready for a snooze, a comfy position is just a quick adjustment away

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the Cruz V2 different from the Cruz V3?
The Cruz V3 stroller is a souped up version of the Cruz V2. The V3 is more newborn ready and comes with an additional infant insert, whereas the V2 is only for 3 months up out of the box. This being said both strollers can be used with the bassinet accessory or car seat adapters. The Cruz V3 has a higher handlebar and seat, and some extra convenience features such as a magnetic buckle and additional ventilation in the canopy. This being said, the V2 is a little lighter and a little less expensive.
2. How is the Cruz V3 different from the Vista V3?
The Cruz V3 is a single stroller, whereas the Vista V3 is a single-to-double stroller that can ultimately accommodate two seated kids (and a third on the piggyback if you need). The Cruz V3 is narrower and lighter, but has slightly smaller wheels.
The Vista V3 stroller is a bit wider and heavier (it does have to carry 2 kids after all). These are both great options for New York City families as they're durable and have all the smart features you need to navigate the Big Apple!
3. Can the Cruz V3 be used for 2 children?
Yes and no. While the Cruz V3 is only a single stroller. and therefore there's only one seat, you can get the additional piggyback board if you need to accommodate two kids.
