Our Verdict: Ingenuity 3D Mini

The Ingenuity 3D Mini scored 74 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every umbrella stroller on, and took Best Umbrella Stroller for Apartment Stairs in our umbrella stroller guide.

Stairs are the test it passes. At 11 pounds by the maker's figure it was a breeze to carry up apartment stairs.

The canopy is too small to shade a child in midday sun, which is what holds comfort to a 6.

Should You Buy the Ingenuity 3D Mini?

Buy it for a walk-up apartment and for mornings or evenings, when the canopy matters less.

Pair it with a sun hat. The maker lists a flip-out visor, a durable steel frame and a folded size of 44 × 9.5 × 13 inches.

No umbrella stroller in this guide wins on all five criteria. The ones that score well do it by being honest about what they gave up, so read the low column before the high one.
