Uppababy Minu
.eli
The Uppababy Minu is a very lightweight, ultra-compact pushchair that can be used from birth – not only because of its compatibility with a car seat. As it is very compact (pretty much ultra-compact, even if a bit larger at that), the one-handed folding, combined with the option to purchase a newborn kit usable in the opposite direction, it is often compared to the popular Babyzen Yoyo as it boasts similar features. With the Newborn Kit fitted (a soft carrycot with its own canopy, liner, and safety straps), the stroller can even be folded.
The stroller's design is lightweight and nimble, with a width that fits even in narrow aisles. It's strong and durable enough to handle even the heavier weight of a child (up to 22.5 kg). Once the seat covers are off, you can attach the car seat adapters to it - there's even a small pouch to stow away the supplied adapters when you're not using them. There's also the practical, shoe-saving brake, activated by pressing one side and deactivated by pressing the other, as well as an accessible shopping basket.
In 2022, the Uppababy Minu V2 replaced the first generation, adding a more upright seat, a belly bar, an option of an almost full-featured 3in1 travel system, and an overall design update with new colorways to choose from to the Minu game.
