UPPAbaby Ridge V2
Pros
- Disc brakes perform beautifully, the only 10 for braking
- Never-flat foam-filled tires remove puncture anxiety on rocky trails
Cons
- Incredibly heavy to lift after a run
Our Verdict: UPPAbaby Ridge V2
The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 scored 91 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every jogging stroller on, and took Best Brakes and Never-Flat Tires in our jogging stroller guide.
Braking is why it ranks. The hand disc brake earned the guide's only 10, and the foam-filled tires took away the worry about punctures on rocky ground.
The price of that control is mass. Lifting the chassis back into the car after a run was the hard part, and the maker lists 29.2 lb.
Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results
Ride & suspension
Nine, joint second of 9. The never-flat foam-filled tires completely eliminate puncture anxiety on rocky trails, the testers said, and the maker lists a two-stage suspension.
Tracking & steering at pace
Nine, joint second in this guide. The notes record no tracking complaint. The maker lists a swivel-locking front wheel for a stable ride.
Braking & safety
Ten, first of 9. The only 10 in this guide. The disc brakes perform beautifully, and the maker pairs the hand-activated disc brake with a one-step foot brake.
Fold & transport
Seven, joint fourth of 9. The chassis is incredibly heavy to lift after a run, and that is what holds the score at 7. The maker lists a one-hand fold that stands on its own, 29.2 lb and a folded size of 19.5 × 25.6 × 36 inches.
Kid comfort
Nine, joint first of 9. The notes are silent on the seat. The maker lists a plush padded seat with lumbar support, infinite recline and controllable ventilation panels.
Should You Buy the UPPAbaby Ridge V2?
Buy it for the stop-anywhere confidence: a disc brake on the handle, a foot brake as backup, and tires that can't go flat on a trail.
Bring a strong back or a low trunk lip. The testers called it incredibly heavy to lift, and the maker lists a folded size of 19.5 × 25.6 × 36 inches.
The same five criteria applied to every jogging stroller in this guide. That makes the comparison fair, and it makes the choice yours: pick for the use you cannot avoid, not the one you aspire to.
