Minu V2 vs. V3: All You Need To Know!
It's a super exciting here at Babesta as we're getting ready to launch the Minu V3 online for preorders! Before you add to cart (though it's always fun to have the latest & greatest), you should know, what's the difference between the Minu V2 vs. V3?
Babesta will help you break it down. But, in a nutshell, which UppaBaby stroller you choose is all a matter of priorities.
Minu V2 vs V3: The Differences
Starting with the Minu V2

This has long been our go-to stroller for anyone in NYC who lives in a walk up.
Because of it's sturdy construction and push, its one-hand fold with a carry handle to sling over your shoulder, it's 3 month+ recline, and the fact that it works with car seat adapters, the Vista V2 overnight sleep ready bassinet for the littlest babies, we've long thought that for a lightweight this stroller is pretty robust!
If you have to lift your stroller every day, we think the Minu V2 will do you solid! It's got bigger wheels than many of the other lightweights, but that does mean it's a little heavier as well.
For jetsetters, the Minu V2 also provides a lot of pluses, but the one minus is that you'll likely need a bag to check it. It's slightly bigger size works in its favor in terms of push but makes it a wee bit too big for the overhead in many cases.
Now enter the Minu V3

That's right -- the Minu V3 is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, now offering overhead bin compatibility. Travel has never been easier. To do this though, they have made a smaller wheel and frame, more akin to some of its travel brethren.
But here's something amazing: The Minu V3 reclines so that the seat is from birth. There's even a foot barrier built into the seat. There's no longer need for (nor is it compatible with) the bassinet.
For those who love UppaBaby, this new stroller doesn't disappoint. And, with the car seat adapters, you'll have an easy travel solution when you're on the go. If you already have the Vista and you need a lightweight, you can stay within the family!
Besides the smaller size, overhead compatibility, and from-birth capability, other highlights include: Higher seatback, More footrest positions, Included machine washable seatliner.
