Your first UPPAbaby: getting started

Pick the part that fits where you are. Everything is in UPPAbaby's own words, with the link.

Before you buy

What you get, and which pieces go together.

What comes in the box?

UPPAbaby Cruz V3 Sold as a set with UPPAbaby Mesa V3, UPPAbaby Aria V2.
UPPAbaby Minu V3 Sold as a set with UPPAbaby Mesa V3, UPPAbaby Aria V2.
UPPAbaby Vista V3 Sold as a set with UPPAbaby Mesa V3, UPPAbaby Aria V2.

Which base takes which seat?

A Mesa V3 carrier clicks into the original Mesa base and the Mesa V2 base, so an older spare base still works with the newer seat. UPPAbaby help article

Reusing older parts

Second baby, or upgrading one piece: what carries over and what doesn't.

Will parts move between models?

Any UPPAbaby infant car seat and the UPPAbaby bassinet attach straight to the Vista V3 with no adapter; other brands' seats need an adapter. UPPAbaby help article
The From Birth Kit does not fit the Minu V2. From birth, you use the bassinet or a Mesa infant seat on the Minu V2, both with adapters. UPPAbaby help article

Used or passed down

Check these before the first ride.

Which version is it?

Which Cruz do I have?Which Mesa do I have?Which Minu do I have?Which Ridge do I have?Which Vista do I have?

When does the car seat expire?

UPPAbaby infant seats expire 7 years after the date they were made (or after any crash). The made-on and expiry dates are on labels under the carrier and under the base. UPPAbaby manual (PDF)

How do I hear about a recall?

To hear about a recall, register the car seat online at uppababy.com/register/carseat, by phone at (844) 823-3132, or by mail with the model number and manufacture date. UPPAbaby manual (PDF)

Is a used one still under warranty?

For car seats, 'lifetime' means up to 7 years from the manufacture date, and you need a receipt from an authorized UPPAbaby retailer to claim it (Mesa V3 manual). UPPAbaby manual (PDF)
UPPAbaby warranties do not cover second owners, damage from airline handling, or products that have been in an accident. UPPAbaby manual (PDF)

Care and warranty

Keeping it clean, and what the maker covers.

How do I clean it?

For stroller fabrics: spot clean or hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, then dry flat out of direct sun. No bleach, ironing or dry cleaning. UPPAbaby help article

What does the warranty cover?

Every UPPAbaby product comes with a warranty at no extra cost: strollers and some accessories get 3 years from purchase, car seats a lifetime warranty, travel bags 4 years. UPPAbaby help article
The older Mesa V2 manual set a different rule: the lifetime warranty applied only if you registered the seat within three months of buying it; otherwise the standard cover was 2 years from purchase. Check the manual that came with your seat. UPPAbaby manual (PDF)

Common UPPAbaby problems and the maker's answers

1. Put the foot brake on.
2. Raise the handlebar all the way up.
3. Set the seat facing forward and in its second most upright recline.
4. Check the front wheel brakes are unlocked (the clear setting); the stroller will not fold properly with them locked.
5. Pull up both release triggers and swing the handlebar down to the ground.
1. You can fold the Vista with the Toddler Seat still attached, but only when the seat faces forward.
2. Turn the seat to face forward before folding.
3. For a smaller fold, recline the seat to its second most upright position first.
1. The Cruz V3 folds with the Toddler Seat attached only when the seat faces forward.
2. Turn the seat to face forward before folding.
3. For a smaller fold, lower the bumper bar and tuck the footrest away.
1. The disk brake is probably set too tight.
2. Loosen it by turning the disk brake knob a little clockwise.
3. Adjust the disk brake on both sides.
4. Test the hand brake and keep adjusting until it feels right.
