Our Verdict: UPPAbaby Minu Duo

The UPPAbaby Minu Duo scored 85 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every double stroller on, and took Best Compact Double Stroller in our double stroller guide.

What earns it that award: Lightest stroller in this test at 27.3 lb.

The honest limit, and the reason it is not higher: Small wheels vibrate and lose momentum on gravel and unpaved limestone.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Ease of use

Eight and a half, joint best with the Vista v3. It lifts easily, and Sarah and David found the seat fabrics and harness adjustments felt premium. The brake is a colour-coded foot pedal: red to stop, green to go. In use it fits small apartment elevators without crowding other riders and tucks under café tables when folded.

Maneuverability

Eight, joint third with the City Mini GT2. On paved city sidewalks in Chicago it rolled smoothly. The limit is the wheels: 5.5 inches at the front and 6.3 inches at the back, solid. On unpaved limestone paths in Austin they vibrated significantly and struggled to keep momentum over gravel. This is a stroller for pavement.

Transport & storing

Ten, the only perfect score in this guide. The guide lists the folded size at 13.0 × 28.0 × 23.5 in, the smallest of the nine, and at 27.3 lb it is the lightest. Sarah and David found it easy to lift into the trunk, Elena and Carlos tucked it under café tables folded and called it the clear winner for public transit. If trunk space or stairs decide your purchase, nothing else here comes close.

Build quality

Eight, fourth of nine. Solid polyurethane tires with all-wheel spring suspension, a full-grain leatherette handlebar and fabrics the testers described as premium. The small wheels are the compromise: they are what make the fold so small, and they are what vibrated on limestone.

Kid comfort

Seven and a half, joint third with the BOB and the Vista v3. The seat fabrics and harness adjustments felt premium to Sarah and David, and neither household recorded a complaint from a passenger. The notes say less about long walks and naps than they do for the stroller above it, which is why it sits mid-table.

Should You Buy the UPPAbaby Minu Duo?

Buy it for this: Lightest stroller in this test at 27.3 lb. Smallest fold of the nine.

Go in knowing this: Small wheels vibrate and lose momentum on gravel and unpaved limestone.

Scored against the same five criteria as everything else here, this is a question of fit rather than quality. The gear that gets used is the gear that suits your week.

Conclusion: UPPAbaby Minu Duo
