UPPAbaby Ridge V2 Stroller

Yes. While the Ridge V2 is designed as a jogging stroller, many families use it as their primary stroller. Its smooth ride, generous storage, easy fold, and newborn compatibility make it practical for daily walks, errands, and outings—not just running.

The Ridge V2 has a one-handed fold that is notably easy to execute compared to other jogging strollers. The unfold is equally simple and doesn't require bending down to release a clip, which parents consistently highlight as a practical advantage.

The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 supports children up to 55 lbs, which is higher than most conventional full-size strollers. Combined with its jogging capability, it's one of the longest-lasting stroller investments available.

UPPAbaby recommends waiting until your child can hold their head up unassisted before jogging with the Ridge V2. For most babies, that means waiting until around 6 to 9 months of age, though every child develops differently. If you're unsure, check with your pediatrician before beginning a running routine.

Before then, the Ridge V2 can still be used for everyday walks with the toddler seat (from approximately 3 months) or from birth with the UPPAbaby Bassinet or a compatible infant car seat and adapters (sold separately).

Yes. The Ridge V2 features disc brakes — the same technology found on performance bicycles — offering more responsive and reliable stopping power than the drum brakes found on most jogging strollers.

No. The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 features foam-filled, puncture-proof tires, offering low maintenance and ensuring parents are never stranded with a flat.

Surprisingly, yes. While the Ridge V2 is larger than a compact travel stroller, its suspension and never-flat tires handle cracked sidewalks, curbs, and uneven pavement exceptionally well. For active families who spend a lot of time walking, it's one of the more city-friendly jogging strollers available.

Many families choose the Ridge V2 for its suspension, large wheels, and smooth ride long before they start running. If you regularly walk on rough sidewalks, trails, grass, or uneven terrain, the Ridge's performance benefits can be appreciated every day.

The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 is compatible with UPPAbaby infant car seats, including the Aria and Mesa V3, when used with the appropriate adapters. The Ridge can also be paired with select infant car seats from brands like Nuna, Cybex, Maxi-Cosi, and Chicco using dedicated adapters sold separately.

For newborn use, parents can also pair the Ridge with the UPPAbaby Bassinet.
