We tested it over 50 miles in urban environments, including bumpy sidewalks, light gravel paths, and airport terminals.
In our lab tests, setup took under 30 seconds, and it withstood 200-pound push/pull force without wobbling.

| Category | Score (/10) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of Use | 9.5 | Quick fold/setup; intuitive harness. |
| Maneuverability | 9.0 | Excellent on pavement; fair on grass (smaller wheels limit off-road). |
| Ride Comfort | 8.5 | Suspension absorbs most urban jolts; plush seat padding. |
| Portability | 9.8 | Carry-on king; lightweight frame. |
| Durability | 8.0 | Strong fabrics; wheels hold up but not for heavy rough use. |
Overall: 82/100 – Exceptional for its class, perfect for 80% of parents who prioritize travel.
If rough terrain is your norm, upgrade to the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew.
Compared to ultracompacts like the GB Pockit (even smaller fold but less padding) or Bugaboo Butterfly (similar weight, pricier), the Minu V2 wins on basket size and suspension. For families needing more, the UPPAbaby Vista V3 Greyson offers double capacity and massive storage. The Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono excels for siblings-to-be.
Explore the Vista V3 Theo variant – perfect upgrade.
