Which UPPAbaby Cruz do I have?
UPPAbaby has sold 3 versions of the Cruz, and they do not all take the same car seats and adapters. Find yours first, then check the fit.
The short answer
Every Cruz version we have answers for takes the same 33 car seats, so the version matters less than it seems.
Find your version below to be sure; the list for each one is a tap away.
How to check
1.Find the barcode sticker on the lower right of the frame. On the 2015–2019 Cruz (UPPAbaby's example is a 2017 model) the serial number starts with "CRZ". 3
2.Compare the toddler seat and hood: the V2 seat is the same size as the Vista seat and has an extendable zip-out hood; the earlier Cruz seat is smaller. 2- 3.On a V3 the product number starts 0403-CRZ and the seat lies flat for use from birth. 4
