Pros
Pro Easy to transfer your baby to and from the stroller
The Uppababy Cruz is a 'travel-system' and it can be used with several other Uppababy products like the Mesa car seat and the bassinet. They can easily be attached and released with the help of the buttons at either side of the frame which snaps lock without the need for adapters or connectors. So instead of removing your baby from his bassinet and transferring him to the stroller seat, all you have to do is attach his bassinet/car seat to the stroller frame and you are good to go.
Pro Offers a much smoother ride even on bumpy surfaces
Because of the Uppababy's large wheels, measuring 11" in diameter, rides are smoother compared to its competitors. You can stroll outdoors without having to worry about your baby being bumped around on his/her seat because of the shock-absorbing front and rear tires.
Pro An older child can ride along using an add-on standing board
You can buy an additional 15x5-inch standing board which you can attach to the back of the stroller when your older child wants to ride along.
Pro Your child will feel closer to you rather than the ground
The Uppababy Cruz's seat is elevated higher compared to the seats of its competitors. Your baby will be closer to you as a result.
Pro Folds easily in one motion
The fold and unfold process of the Uppababy Cruz is pretty easy. To fold, just pull the gray triggers at the sides and pull the stroller towards the back until the frame folds. To unfold, remove the gray lock keeping the stroller together and pull it upwards using the handlebar, in one motion.
Pro Has reversible seat orientations
Since the seat can be easily removed by pressing the buttons at the sides of the frame, it can be placed either facing the front or facing towards you.
Pro Multi-level recline positions that you can adjust with one-hand
It's easy to adjust the seat to one of its five reclining levels using the lever at the back of the seat.
Pro Protects your child from the sun's UV rays
Its canopy or overhead cover has SPF 50+ to shield the baby from the sun. It has an extendable sunshade that you can pull out from the top of the canopy to increase its coverage.
Pro Plenty of storage room for your things
The Uppababy has a large basket under the seat where you can store your diaper bag and other necessities while traveling. It also has a wide opening so it is easier to put and reach for things. It has a weight capacity of 25 lbs and some parents even use it as a shopping basket, eliminating the need for another cart to push.
Cons
Con Expensive
Most parents will find it too expensive for a single-stroller. However, Uppababy is one of the leading brands in strollers and you can expect the best quality that will last for years.
Con Heavy/Bulky
This stroller is too heavy for me to lift into my SUV trunk on a regular basis
