Travel Stroller Comparison

I spent weeks and weeks researching which travel stroller would be right for me to purchase. I wanted the magical unicorn stroller that had everything I was looking for. Of course, it did not exist. I was left with all this information and thought it would be better served for anyone else looking into travel strollers as well!

What did i choose?

I ended up choosing the uppababy minu v2! It was a hard decision between that and the baby jogger city tour 2. The deciding factor for me was the fact that I already have the uppababy vista v2 system and I thought it would be easier to use with the car seat in the future. Although the minu doesn’t fully recline, it reclines more than enough for a comfortable nap! It is also amazing to have in the car for quick trips rather than loading her main stroller in and out of the car. I’ve also read most domestic airlines in the US fit the minu in the overhead compartment with no issues. I absolutely love the minu but I do think about the baby jogger city tour 2 sometimes wondering if I made the right decision. It is much cheaper and although has a smaller canopy, is able to fully recline and fits in the overhead compartment of all airlines. Now that I have a second baby on the way, maybe i’ll try out the baby jogger and do a comparison of the two!
