STROLLER COMPARISON

UPPAbaby Minu V3 vs Nuna TRVL lx

Two premium compacts that both use a built-in carriage mode for newborns instead of a separate bassinet - the difference comes down to fold size and price.

Overview

The Minu V3 and TRVL lx both use all-wheel suspension and a built-in carriage mode so a newborn doesn't need a separate bassinet accessory. Where they part ways is size: the Minu V3 is built to fit cabin overhead bins, while the TRVL lx folds considerably larger and is positioned for families happy to gate-check.

Fold and portability

Folded, the Minu V3 measures 10 × 18 × 21.5 in, noticeably more compact than the TRVL lx's 14.3 × 21 × 27 in. That gap is the main reason to pick one over the other if overhead-bin space is tight.

Comfort and ride

Both use all-wheel suspension and a one-hand fold. The Minu V3 adds a deep recline with its carriage mode and a confirmed 20 lb basket; the TRVL lx's basket capacity wasn't confirmed in the current US listing, though its front-and-rear suspension is built for a smooth ride on uneven ground.

Newborn use

Use the built-in carriage mode for newborns, following the manual. TRVL lx owners follow the same approach: Use carriage mode for newborns as instructed in the manual.

Price

The Minu V3 runs around $499.99, about $100.00999999999999 less than the TRVL lx at around $600.

Which one should you buy?

Choose the UPPAbaby Minu V3 if you want the smallest fold of the two and a confirmed, generously sized basket.

Choose the Nuna TRVL lx if you're comfortable gate-checking and want front-and-rear suspension for rougher sidewalks.
