UPPAbaby Cruz V3
The Cruz V3 lay-flat seat is for strolling, not overnight sleep. The approved overnight option requires the separately purchased Bassinet V3 on the UPPAbaby Bassinet Stand, within the bassinet’s own manual and developmental limits. Stop using the stroller seat when your child reaches either its 50 lb (22.7 kg) weight limit or 40 in (101 cm) height limit.
Pros / Cons
Pros
- The included infant insert and lay-flat reversible seat support use from birth without another seat purchase.
- FlexRide suspension, never-flat tires, and a full-size seat suit main-stroller duty.
Cons
- It remains a premium full-size stroller rather than a truly small travel fold.
- Families planning a second child need the expandable Vista rather than Cruz.

Cruz V3 suits a family wanting one full-size everyday stroller without the Vista’s second-seat chassis. Its reversible, lay-flat seat and included infant insert support newborn walks without buying a bassinet. FlexRide suspension and never-flat tires help with daily pavement routes, but the 26.5 lb (12 kg) frame-and-seat weight and 17 in (43.2 cm) × 22.5 in (57.2 cm) × 32.5 in (82.6 cm) folded size still demand car-trunk and storage space.
Overnight sleep is a separate purchase decision: it requires the Bassinet V3 on the UPPAbaby Bassinet Stand, not the stroller seat or chassis. Both accessories add cost and storage. Follow the bassinet’s own weight and developmental limits. Choose Cruz for a single seated child; a PiggyBack board can carry an older rider, but the frame does not take a second seat.
