At a Glance
The UPPAbaby Cruz V3 + Aria V2 Travel System combines a streamlined full-size stroller with UPPAbaby's lightweight 6 lb infant-car-seat carrier. Aria V2 attaches directly to the Cruz V3 frame without a stroller adapter, making it easy to move from vehicle to stroller. As your child grows, the reversible Cruz toddler seat, all-wheel suspension, 30 lb basket, and one-step standing fold provide a comfortable everyday setup without the wider expansion footprint of the Vista.
