Jump to Section
Whether you're popping out for a coffee run or jetting off to visit Grandma across the country, your stroller needs to keep up with your hustle.
Enter the Minu V3 Stroller from UPPAbaby — a sleek, compact, and totally travel-ready ride that delivers BIG in comfort, safety, and everyday usability. This third-generation superstar has been totally upgraded from the V2, and it’s already turning heads (and making parenting easier!).
Let’s dive into why UPPAbaby’s go-to travel stroller might be just what you’re looking for.
Everyday Life Just Got Easier
THE SPECS:
- Suitable from birth (in lie-flat mode in seat or infant car seat) to 50 lbs.Dimensions
- Unfolded: 34.5″ L x 18″ W x 41″ H
- Dimensions Folded: 10″ L x 18″ W x 21.5″ H
- Weight: 16.7 lbs.
We all know parenting is basically a full-contact sport with snack breaks. The Minu V3 gets that. Whether you're dodging crowds at the grocery store or chasing your mini-Houdini through the mall, this stroller has your back.
The one-handed fold is the equivalent of stroller sorcery. If collapsing your stroller while wrangling a juice box, a diaper bag, and a cranky toddler sounds impossible, the V3 makes it effortless! It also stands up on its own when folded — ready to be stored or deployed at a moment's notice.
Crafted with 100% full-grain leather accents and a sleek aluminum frame, it's giving "mom with style and a plan" energy. As a bonus, it’s GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means it’s eco-conscious!
Snug as a Bug: Safety First!
You wouldn’t toss your baby into a rollercoaster without a harness, right? With a 5-point harness that’s padded and secure, your little one will stay snug whether you're doing sidewalk sprints or stroller naps.
The UPF 50+ extendable canopy is the stroller equivalent of your oversized sunnies — protective, stylish, and essential. Plus, there's a mesh peekaboo window so you can check in on your co-pilot without waking the dragon!
Plus, the V3’s all-wheel suspension eats up cracks, curbs, and cobblestones like a champ. Smooth rides equals fewer meltdowns (from baby and parent).
First-Class Comfort for Tiny Travellers
This seat has everything to keep your kiddo comfy from day one! We’re talking about a padded integrated insert, three-position leg rest, and deep recline that’s perfect for everything from bottle naps to park people-watching!
Our favourite feature? The Minu V3 is newborn-ready right out of the box. No bassinet needed. Just straight-up, day-one convenience.
You get two fab options:
-
Carriage Mode: It’s like a bassinet but without needing another purchase.
-
Travel System Compatibility: Got a Mesa, Aria, or a fave from Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, or Cybex? You’re golden with the right adapter.
Oh, and the one-handed recline? It’s a must-have. Because let’s be real — two hands are a luxury most parents just don’t have.
Jet-Set Ready: Travel Made Simple
Travelling with littles is a full-body workout, but the Minu V3 makes it breezy.
This stroller fits in the overhead bin of most airplanes (yep, it’s IATA compliant), which means you can skip the gate check and roll it all the way to your seat (though we recommend checking with your airline beforehand just to be certain). This is thanks to the redesigned fold, which is even more compact than the Minu V2, making it ideal for overhead storage.
The V3 also comes with a carry strap for hands-free transport and a roomy underseat basket that holds up to 20 lbs. Perfect for stashing diaper bags, snacks, extra toys, and maybe even your oversized mom tote.
Another neat perk? An AirTag pocket is built right into the frame! Pop in your tracker and always know where your stroller is, even in the chaos of baggage claim or your Disney vacation.
V2 vs. V3: What’s New, What’s Better?
Let’s break down the biggest differences between the Minu V2 and the Minu V3 so you can decide if it’s worth the upgrade.
Biggest Upgrades:
-
Newborn-Friendly Seat: No need for a separate bassinet anymore, which is important, because the Minu V3 is not compatible with the Vista V3 Bassinet.
-
Smaller Fold: The V3 fits into airplane overhead bins even better than before!
Other Notable Differences:
- One-handed recline (V3) vs. two-handed (V2)
- V3 stays locked when folded, no external latch needed
- Taller backrest on the V3 (21” vs. 17.5”) for growing kiddos
- Slightly more shallow seat depth (8” vs. 9” on the V2)
- Easier access to the underseat basket thanks to a redesigned frame
- AirTag pocket on the V3
What You Might Miss from the V2:
- V2 came with a bumper bar included — the Minu V3 Bumper Bar is now a separate purchase
- V2 had a canopy pocket for extra storage; the V3 does not
- Better canopy clearance on the V2 due to its slightly larger frame
- The V2 could be used with the V3 Bassinet. Side Note: Most V2 accessories won’t work with the V3, so double-check before buying add-ons

Is the Minu V3 Right for You?
If your stroller needs to be equal parts pack mule, fashion statement, and mobile nap pod, the Minu V3 Stroller from UPPAbaby is a parenting power move. It’s travel-savvy, city-smart, and makes daily outings just a little less chaotic.
Compared to the V2, it’s got smarter features, better comfort, and that beautiful from-birth functionality that eliminates the gear-juggling act. It’s basically the stroller version of a triple-shot latte with oat milk — exactly what modern parents need!
