You will be blown away on how much you will love the UPPAbaby Cruz. The mid-sized stroller can be used as a travel system, when your child is still small there is no need to wake them from their carseat to move them to their stroller. The seat is reversible so your child can face you to communicate or face out to see the world. It has a compact fold, large storage basket, and premium rubberized tires. So if you are adventuring on a walk or a store aisle you will have a perfect push.

24.1 ->
27.04 -> Hi folks Michelle here with the Baby
Cubby today and we're gonna be chatting
29.95 -> all about the UPPAbaby Cruz this is
their premier single modular stroller we
35.71 -> really do love it it has some really
awesome features that you're gonna love
38.5 -> and we're gonna review the whole
stroller for you today. Okay folks so
41.23 -> first we're going to cover some features
that we absolutely love about the Cruz
44.35 -> so one of the features is obviously that
it's a modular stroller; modular means
48.85 -> that the seat can turn to face you or it
can face out so right now it's facing
53.32 -> out but the Cruz is actually super
easy so if we go ahead and just press
58.27 -> these two grey buttons on the side just
flips around and the seats really light
62.26 -> so it doesn't take a lot of like effort
to turn it around fits in really well
65.62 -> and with that too this seat has a really
really deep recline they still don't
71.409 -> recommend it for use until your baby is
3 months so they can like control their
76.18 -> head a little bit or hold it up but
again it makes for a really great little
79.63 -> makeshift bassinet so that's something
we love about this seat another thing
84.49 -> that we love about the UPPAbaby Cruz
is all of the accessories that they
88.09 -> included so they- a lot of single
strollers don't actually come with
92.47 -> accessories it's just the frame and the
seat but UPPAbaby being a premium brand
96.52 -> they include some those accessories for
you so you don't have to purchase them
99.55 -> separately so one one of those is the
bug net and the rain shield which will
103.72 -> cover the seat if you're living in the
city that's a great option for you
107.5 -> another option is this belly bar that
comes with it we love the belly bar for
112.57 -> a couple reasons
number one it's a great place to like
115.78 -> hang toys when your baby gets a little
bit older and they need some
119.35 -> distractions so something I always do
with my stroller is I'll take swing the
123.76 -> belly bar open put one of those hanging
toys through here and hang out on my
127.57 -> belly bar and then close it back up that
way no toy is gonna get lost for my
131.89 -> child and it's just gonna hang off for
it and then the last thing we absolutely
135.489 -> love that like only UPPAbaby does and
it's amazing are these extra large
139.629 -> canopies so the canopy by itself is
already pretty large but then it has
145.03 -> this extra flip-out sunshade so that if
you're walking directly into the sun it
149.95 -> is like totally covering your child
you're not gonna have any sun in their
153.67 -> eyes you're not gonna have to worry
about it it also has an SPF of 50 so
158.11 -> they're not gonna get sunburned
at all either
160.569 -> okay so now we're just gonna go over
some of the other features of the
163.659 -> UPPAbaby Cruz so first off
is the magnetic peekaboo window number
168.31 -> one it's a really large window and you
just do that so it's really large I have
174.549 -> yet to see like very many other
strollers that have this big of a
177.7 -> peekaboo window and then too these are
magnets not velcro so if your baby's
182.17 -> asleep or your child is asleep you're
not gonna wake them up by putting it up
185.59 -> to see them also if it's like a hot day
and you need some extra airflow in their
192.19 -> seat super easy to just roll that up and
put the little toggle in there and that
198.129 -> way they can get some extra airflow
which is fantastic. The Cruz does have
201.579 -> a telescoping handle bar so all you do
is press this button and move it up and
205.84 -> as you can see it's pretty tall I'm 5
foot 3 and it's coming to my chest so
210.01 -> you're gonna be able to can really
accommodate they're really really tall
213.4 -> people and also the really short people
like me so that's an awesome option so
218.26 -> the next thing is the brake so this
brake is super easy and nice so a lot of
223.629 -> the time we talk about OneTouch brakes
being kind of the standard and what we
227.049 -> love but this brake is actually
really nice it's not a one touch you
231.04 -> still have to flip it up and down but
it's really easy to flip down because of
235.419 -> the big red pedal sometimes they're like
off to the side I don't love that
239.139 -> because you always kind of knick your
shoe on the frame but because it's in
242.739 -> the center you won't knick it and then
it's really easy to flip up with just
245.98 -> your foot so even if you're wearing
sandals you're not gonna ruin your toe
249.4 -> like hurt your pedicure or like scratch
your toes up or anything you can just
253.569 -> flip it up with the top of your foot
call it good. Ok folks so another feature
257.44 -> about the stroller is the adjustable
footrest it's super easy to adjust
261.37 -> you just have pushed these two gray
buttons on the side and then you can
264.699 -> adjust that up or down depending on your
child's preferences if you need
269.5 -> something that if you need to be out of
the way for if you have something in the
273.07 -> basket or if you need it more up for
them if they're wanting more of like an
276.909 -> actual footrest that they can spread out
on so that's a great feature as well and
283.36 -> then we wanted to cover the suspension
as well since it is a single stroller
287.919 -> most single strollers do not feature a
lot of suspension. The Cruz isn't
292.21 -> really an exception to that I would say
that it does have more suspension than
295.81 -> other strollers like it the UPPAbaby
Cruz wheels are made from a full
300.669 -> rubber instead of a hard plastic it's
like a lot of cheaper brands so the
305.68 -> rubber is actually going to take the
shock a little bit better so you will
308.41 -> have a smoother ride compared to some of
those other options as well the front
312.94 -> wheels do lock on the stroller which is
actually a good a feature that isn't on
316.84 -> a lot of other single strollers I will
note that it's a little trickier to lock
322.33 -> these wheels than some of the other ones
just because it kind of has to be in the
326.05 -> right place but once you get used to it
you should be okay
329.02 -> but as you can see I just pushed this
down and then wiggled it and now it's
332.5 -> locked that's great for if you're going
over grass or gravel things where your
336.699 -> wheel is going to be going like this a
lot and that way I will just keep it
340.18 -> straight give you a better ride and more
control. Okay so the last feature is the
343.9 -> fold all of the UPPAbaby strollers
fold similarly so at least the Cruz and
348.94 -> the Vista so you can extend or keep the
handlebar in I prefer to extend it and
353.83 -> then you take these two right here and
it just folds down super easy and it
357.94 -> automatically locks in place and then it
does stand when it's folded but it can
363.19 -> fall over just depending on what kind of
ground you're on so just be aware that
367.599 -> it might not stand like right away all
by itself as well if you have a smaller
372.219 -> trunk you can again fold down that
footrest and then you'll gain a little
376.81 -> bit of extra space in your trunk so
that's a nice feature as well and then
380.74 -> unfold it you're just gonna unclip this
lock right here and then just walk it
385.57 -> back so it's super easy you can do it if
you're specially if you're getting like
389.169 -> in and out of taxis or in and out of
cars a lot that's a great feature to
394.419 -> have. So for a regular single stroller
the UPPAbaby Cruz is definitely on
398.5 -> the high end it ranges from $499.99 to $549.99 depending
403.96 -> on the model that you get the base model
with the silver frame and the regular
407.949 -> colors that's gonna be the $499 and then this is a carbon fiber
411.969 -> frame so it's gonna be in the mid range
and then they have lux versions that
415.69 -> have like leather finishings instead of
this foam and that's gonna be the $549
421 -> price if you're going to purchase this
stroller it's definitely a great option
424.56 -> however we would
recommend that if you're wanting to get
427.899 -> a lot of use and this is your first
child to maybe consider the UPPAbaby
431.169 -> Vista instead so that you can add a
second seat later since that's basically
435.669 -> the Cruz just beefed up a little bit.
So this does come in a variety of colors
439.449 -> and UPPAbaby does a really good job of
making gorgeous colors for their
442.839 -> strollers you can check them all out and
Shop them at babycubby.com on our
446.319 -> website and if you have questions make
sure you email us at [email protected]
449.979 -> or comment below we'd absolutely
love to answer any questions that you
453.61 -> guys have about this stroller and make
sure that we're giving you all the best
456.729 -> information and what you need. Ok so now
onto some of the things that we don't
460.509 -> love about this stroller
there's not one feature that we think is
463.99 -> really pretty like a deal breaker
so I do want to talk a little bit about
467.949 -> some of the reviews that we've heard
from customers and things about the
471.039 -> stroller from people who have used it a
lot one of the things we've heard a lot
474.339 -> is that after a year or so the wheels
start getting stuck so they could like
478.029 -> turn sideways and get stuck or they
start the ride isn't as smooth as it
482.86 -> used to be because the Cruz does have
a really smooth ride like the
486.489 -> maneuverability on this stroller is
pretty amazing you can just turn it
490.269 -> really easy with one hand especially
with this carbon-fiber frame one um but
495.579 -> again after a while people are saying
that that gets a little harder to turn
499.99 -> and a little harder to maneuver
something though to mention is that
503.139 -> UPPAbaby does do like gear up events
where they will come and like service
508.839 -> your stroller for free there's been
reports about people getting their
512.649 -> wheels replaced for free and getting
like mechanisms all tuned up and fixed
517.99 -> so if you are having issues with your
stroller after a year or so number one
521.74 -> contact UPPAbaby their customer service
is amazing and then number two if you do
526.54 -> have a tune up and gear up event in your
area from UPPAbaby definitely take your
530.019 -> stroller in and they'll get that fixed
from reviews that we've heard and seen
533.62 -> and gotten after they went to those
events that's when their stroller
536.529 -> started working fine again so you just
need to make sure you're up keeping on
539.319 -> your stroller. Okay so one last thing to
that we've heard from a few customers is
543.1 -> that this frame can scratch kind of
easily so just like these metal parts of
547.75 -> it especially on the silver one we've
heard that it can get scratched up and a
551.079 -> little beat up over time so just be
aware that that has been a concern for
555.399 -> some customers so if you're not ok with
that it might be good to consider a
559.269 -> different
stroller if you want it looking new all
561.82 -> the time so just some other
considerations with the cruise it does
563.87 -> accommodate a lot of car seats
especially the really popular brands so
568.7 -> of course it accommodates the UPPAbaby
Mesa car seat and you don't need any
572.57 -> extra adapters for that and then with
adapters you can also use a Nuna Pipa
576.95 -> Cybex a Maxi Cosi or a Chicco so you do
have to purchase separate adapters in
583.07 -> order to use that but all you would do
is pop off the seat and then put the
586.88 -> adapters where the seat goes so your
adapters would go right here and then
591.14 -> you can click in your car seat so it
turns into a travel system really easily
594.35 -> which is such a great feature here
especially if you're a city walker or if
599.03 -> you have a lot of errands that you're
running so that's a great option for you
602.9 -> the Cruz has a 50 lbs weight
capacity for the seat which will is
606.77 -> great because it will accommodate your
older children especially since it's a
609.68 -> taller seat and then the stroller itself
weighs 22 pounds so make sure that
613.4 -> that's gonna be OK for you with your
lifestyle if you're like having to walk
617.09 -> up to your apartment we're having to get
it in and out of cars a lot.
620.2 -> Thank you so much for watching you guys remember that you can shop it at babycubby.com where
