Out and About with UPPAbaby
One of our favorite family activities is going for (socially-distanced) walks around our neighborhood or even along the beach. It’s nice to get out of the house, breathe some fresh air and do a little exploring and observing - you never know what you might find!
Last year, when I was researching car seats and strollers, I knew I wanted somewhat of an upgrade to what Jack had. I always found it easier to carry him in a carrier and then when he was big enough, to just take him for walks (and runs) in a jogging stroller. Juniper loves going for long walks now too. Now that she’s four and half months old (how did that happen?!), she’ll happily lean back in her UPPAbaby CRUZ V2 stroller (BRYCE) as we roll on down the sidewalk.
UPPAbaby makes it so easy to safely bring Juni along on all of our little adventures. We use the MESA infant car seat (the color is also BRYCE) in my SUV and it’s a snap (literally) to attach the car seat to the CRUZ V2 stroller.
The CRUZ V2 comes with a reversible, removal toddler seat that holds up to 50 pounds so it’ll grow with Juni. For newborns, you can also attach a bassinet or infant SnugSeat (like we do with the MESA infant car seat).
Some of my favorite features of the CRUZ V2:
Collapsing the stroller is easy with just one step and it’s as simple as pushing a lever to get it upright. The stroller also stands when it is collapsed so you don’t worry about it falling over.
There’s an extra large storage basket at the bottom for Juni’s diaper bag, scrapbooking pouch, Jack’s stuff - you name it!
Almost everything’s adjustable! The handlebar can be raised or lowered (so important when your husband is 6’4”); the toddler seat can be reclined in multiple positions; and the canopy and leg rest can be raised as baby grows!
I also love how UPPAbaby thought of all the little details in their stroller design - from the extendable canopy with UPF 50+ protection, the vented peekaboo windows, the color indicator that lets you know when the wheels are locked to the sleek design and stylish color options that any modern mama would love! We are so happy we went with BRYCE even though it’s a lighter color, we had found that it wipes clean very easily.
When the time is right again for us to enjoy air travel, I’m going to be so excited to take the CRUZ V2 along with us for adventures further from home!
If you’re looking for a new high-quality stroller or car seat, I highly recommend checking out UPPAbaby!
Big thanks to our friends at UPPAbaby for the gift for Juniper. We are so grateful. All opinions are my own.
