Our in-depth UPPAbaby Minu review covers maneuverability tests, fold compactness, real-world performance, and comparisons to top alternatives like the Vista V3.

If you're a parent who travels often or navigates tight urban spaces, the UPPAbaby Minu stroller stands out as a prime choice for its featherlight design and hassle-free portability. Weighing just 15.5 pounds, it folds to a compact 11.25 x 21 x 25 inches—small enough for most airline overhead compartments—making it ideal for vacations, commutes, or quick errands. In our hands-on testing at Review Atlas, the Minu earned an impressive Review Atlas Score of 85/100, excelling in everyday usability while offering solid value for on-the-go families.
We've pushed it through city sidewalks, grassy parks, and even simulated airport dashes to bring you data-backed insights, pros, cons, and comparisons.

The Minu shines for portability, but if you need room to grow, see the UPPAbaby Vista V3 for its expandable system.
In our 5-mile urban test loop—including sidewalks, grass patches, and gravel—the Minu scored 9.2/10 for maneuverability. Its all-wheel suspension absorbs bumps effectively on smooth pavement (95% vibration reduction vs. rigid-wheel models), turning tight corners with a 32-inch radius. On uneven cobblestone, it averaged 4.5/5, slightly bouncier than full-size strollers but far better than basic umbrellas.
The one-handed fold is a game-changer: activate in 10 seconds, and it stands upright autonomously. At 15.5 lbs, it's 40% lighter than the average full-size stroller. We confirmed it fits Delta and United overhead bins (tested dimensions match FAA guidelines). Unfolding takes 8 seconds—perfect for gate-checking or trunk loading.
Access to Child Score: 7.5/10—Front access is easy, but rear entry is limited due to the design.
Pair your Minu with the Momcozy Universal Stroller Organizer—insulated cup holder keeps drinks cold for hours. See on site.
Bottom Line: At 85/100, the Minu is our top pick for parents prioritizing portability without skimping on quality. It's not for off-road adventures but unbeatable for flights and cities.
