Summary
The most comfortable handlebar of any travel stroller Wirecutter tested, plus a decent UV-protective canopy and solid underseat storage — at a fraction of the price of premium picks.
Wirecutter's top umbrella stroller pick after testing 21 models, and a Reddit favorite for balancing premium features with slightly more accessible pricing. Solid build with a simple fold.
Pros
- Most comfortable handlebar of travel strollers tested by Wirecutter
- Decent canopy with UV protection
- Good amount of underseat storage
- Significantly more affordable than Bugaboo or YOYO
- Wirecutter's top pick after testing 21 travel strollers
- Simple, compact fold
- Comfortable handlebar height
- Reputable UPPAbaby brand with good resale value
Cons
- Fold is not as simple or compact as the Minu or Aer2
- Heavier than top-tier lightweight options
- Less community enthusiasm on Reddit compared to premium picks
- Still expensive compared to budget options
- Slightly heavier than the Joolz Aer2
- Less overhead-bin-friendly than the YOYO
Our take
If you're not ready to spend $600 on a stroller you'll use a few times a year, the City Tour 2 gives you the most comfort features per dollar — the handlebar alone makes long travel days noticeably easier.
The Minu V3 is the pick for parents who want Wirecutter-tested reliability and a name-brand stroller without going full Bugaboo — it's the sensible choice that won't disappoint.
