Bambi Baby: UPPAbaby Cruz V2 Vs Nuna Mixx Next

Today, Enelio compares two of the most popular strollers - The Nuna Mixx Next and the UPPAbaby Cruz V2. Both are incredible strollers with great features!

To start, Enelio reviews the folding. When folded, the Nuna Mixx Next is more compact compared to the Cruz V2, and takes up less room. Both strollers open and fold easily, both stand and open easily and completely. The stroller seat on the Cruz V2 is longer by 2.5 inches, which makes it so much more comfortable for babies. The Nuna Mixx Next includes removable soft memory foam fabric with vented back to ensure comfort for the baby at all times. Making sure the baby has everything they need at all times can be overwhelming, and the large basket on the Cruz V2 is gigantic and great for storing all of the baby's things. The Nuna Mixx Next has a center compartment in its basket to separate items easily, but it is smaller and more compact, which means it can hold less.

To ensure the use of the stroller from birth on, the Nuna Mixx Next doesn't need a bassinet because it can recline all the way, maneuvering into where it can be shaped into a bassinet. The UPPAbaby Cruz V2 does need an infant seat to be used from birth on. However, both can be front or rear facing so you can see your baby or your baby can see the world. The zip off canopy on Cruz V2 provides great ventilation and includes two peekaboo windows to keep an eye on the baby at all times. The Nuna Mixx Next also has a great zip off canopy, perfect for ventilation. Both strollers offer adjustable handlebar heights, but the Nuna Mixx is better for taller parents. The suspension is great on both the V2 and the Next, but the Nuna Mixx Next is soft and absorbs shock - better for the parents always on the go over rough terrain. The Cruz V2 is a heavier stroller, and has gotten heavier from the original Cruz, and the Mixx has stayed the same, around 24-25 pounds. Both strollers offer travel system options. The Nuna Mixx Next comes with a ring adapter easily attachable for infant car seats where the Cruz V2 requires no needed adapter when you have the Mesa infant car seat - easily drop the seat into the stroller and it clicks in. Both the Cruz V2 and Mixx Next are easy to fold and stand compact.

As one of the most reliable and best-selling strollers, The Nuna MIXX has had some great upgrades over the last year! The MIXX Next includes a ring adapter that works for an easy on/off one-click travel system.The travel system gives parents the ability to match the stroller with any of the PIPA car seats. The MIXX Next can also connect to the bassinet to use as a pram, so the baby is comfortable from birth. The seats are now reversible, so the baby can face the world, or have a watchful eye kept on them at all times when set in rear facing. The seat reclines fully, which ensures that the stroller is the appropriate choice for the baby from birth up. This also ensures naptime is virtually any time! And, the seat is simple to lift the seat and face forward or reset! The all-season seat will protect baby from heat, wind, snow, and humidity and includes an UPF 50+ oversized, extendable canopy with extension that features flip out eyeshade, a visor that tucks underneath, ventilation panel, and window for protection against the elements and the removable liner that is easy to wash and maintain with water repellent fabric. The fabrics are also non-flammable and incredibly comfortable.

The no rethread harness makes it easy to take baby in and out, and the quick release five point harness converts to a three point harness. The luxe leatherette accented push bar and armbar creates comfort for parents, while the five position one hand recline, true-flat sleeper recline seat creates a comfortable space for the baby. The two compartment basket makes storing baby’s necessities on the go a breeze, and so does the automatic quick-click fold lock and trolley function. The one-piece fuss-free, compact folds no matter which way the seat is facing and offers adjustable calf support with integrated footrest comforts little snoozers. The MIXX Next folds in a compact and easy to maneuver size, perfect for travel, comparable to an umbrella or compact travel stroller. It is also easy to reopen and collapse, just with a few simple presses of a button.

The all-wheel suspension for a smooth ride with simple, one-touch, rear wheel braking system. The suspension and fold are new and improved, and so much easier for the traveling family. The new and improved rubber wheel with ball bearings that allow the wheels to spin freely and easily, and the wheels are made to handle rough terrain better than any other Nuna stroller available. And, for tall or small parents, the Nuna Mixx Next introduces a push bar that offers height adjustment for all sized parents, no matter their size, ensuring your comfort as well! The MIXX Next pairs perfectly with the PIPA™ series car seats and the MIXX series bassinet.The Nuna MIXX Next is GREENGUARD GOLD Certified, ensuring that your baby is in the safest and most comfortable ride possible.

The streamlined design of the CRUZ V2 gives you more without weighing you down. This lightweight and durable stroller easily maneuvers wherever you need to go! The reversible toddler seat allows your toddler to ride forwards, backwards, completely upright, reclined and anywhere in between. The one-handed multi-position recline allows your child to lie comfortably for naps or sit upright to scope out the surrounding scene, offering options for every parent to meet the baby's needs. Perfect for always on-the-go parents, especially when nap time comes around. The expandable, zip-out UPF 50+ canopy extends for additional sun protection, and mesh panels make it easy to peek in while adding airflow. The easy slide canopy accommodates growing children and the adjustable handlebar extends for parents of varying heights and features premium, full-grain leather for extra grip while pushing the baby. The extra-large, easy-access basket means it’s easier to reach your diaper bag, toys, and whatever else you pick up along the way. The shock-absorbing, all-wheel suspension with independent shocks ensure your child has a smooth and comfortable ride, regardless of the difficult terrain. The CRUZ V2 with one-step fold is easy and intuitive. The stroller stands on its own when folded and can be folded with or without the toddler seat attached. The MESA Infant Car Seat attaches directly to the CRUZ V2, ensuring portability and safety. Including the canopy, wheels, and basket, the CRUZ V2 weighs in at 25.5 pounds.
