Petite&Mars Up

see 5 parent reviews

The Petite&Mars Up was released in 2018. It is an ultra-lightweight stroller. Thanks to the ultra-compact fold you can take the Up as a carry-on with some airlines. The backrest, as well as the leg rest, can be reclined fully, but due to mild suspension and less padding, the Up is recommended by the manufacturer from the age of six months. Rather unusually for this type of stroller, the bumper bar, as well as the handlebar, is covered in leatherette. For 2018, the Up was also released in special edition Heritage Natural.

parents say thx^^

I couldn't have chosen better

4
  • Lightweight
  • Reclines fully
  • Belly bar
  • Design
  • It's harder to handle heavier terrain, but I don't think that's what any buggy is built for

I was looking for a buggy that would be extra light as it would be mainly for summer holidays. At the same time I wanted to use it normally, instead of a pushchair, to be able to recline up to a lie flat.

This stroller fulfilled that right away. It's not that well known, as one can't find many reviews about it yet, so I took a chance, but I couldn't have chosen better. Really, I had tried other buggies, but this one caught my eye from the start because of the design, but also because of the features and the lightness. So for me it's a definite yes - for the city, for holidays, for shopping. Of course, it handles rougher terrains with difficulty, but that's not important unless you want to go into the woods with it.

  • Lightweight
  • Dimensions
  • Easy to operate
  • Extendable canopy
  • Design
  • Basket
  • 5-point harness fastening
  • Price
  • Unsuitable for difficult terrain
  • Does not have an insect net/rain cover

I chose this stroller for my little one for our first holiday together. It's small, lightweight, compact - no problem fitting it as a carry-on luggage. It has an extendable canopy, a large basket. It is suitable for quick transfers, but not for off-road. As it is really light, you need to use the brake so that you don't get blown away in strong winds 😀 The price is great 😊 Little one likes it a lot, he's happy in it and so are we 🙂

Convenient for the car

5

For our needs, maximum satisfaction (since my daughter walks - as a hand stroller to the city, shopping, hospital, etc...) - extra light (5.8 kg), easy 2-step folding, convenient for the car (we probably didn't even have a smaller stroller), lower seating position - my daughter likes that she can get into the stroller herself, easy maneuverability with one hand even on a broken sidewalk - I didn't really expect that from this stroller.

The possibility to put it in a horizontal position - we use it for occasional sleeping, but it is still best to sleep at home in the crib :-) Of course we don't use it for off-road - other strollers are designed for that, or their own legs (with older kids) :-) So for me 10 out of 10.

Excellent "handbag" stroller

  • Small
  • Compact
  • Lightweight
  • Hard wheels
  • Small seat surface
  • Shallow basket

Excellent "handbag" stroller.

I do not overthink the shortcomings, because I use the stroller as a spare in the car, for example, to the shopping centers. I can also put it on the grocery bag in our trunk, when there is no extra space 🙃

Top :) Lightweight, foldable, fantastic handling, very quick to fold up. For a buggy I would say a superb basket under the stroller. Recommended.
