Uppababy Minu stroller

It's been a while since Uppababy released their compact Minu stroller, but we still don't see them often, while we do still see tons of Cruz and Vistas. We started with a Cruz, and we liked it a lot. We didn't go with a Vista because the Vista was just too big (though if you plan to have multiple kids, then I think it can be outfitted to hold two, whereas the Cruz is strictly one), but after M grew out of the infant car seat phase, the Cruz started to feel big, and we also wanted to have a more travel friendly stroller. We first tried the GB Pockit stroller. That is indeed very small when folded, but in actual use, it's wobbly and there's practically no storage ability and it lacks a good canopy. We researched the Mountain Buggy Nano, the Babyzen YOYO (which we tried in a store) and the Zoe XL1 and Zoe XLC (this latter we saw a fellow parent using and chatted to her about it; she liked it). But then Uppababy introduced the Minu, and after trying it out, we bought one. The Minu is not the smallest folding stroller, but it folds small enough to travel with (we bought its travel bag too). As a small folder, it frees up space in the trunk. We use it as our everyday stroller, and it has an ample storage basket and is solid to push around. The recline is easy to adjust and the canopy is full coverage. When we travel, it gets gate checked, so we're able to use it to haul our stuff, and M herself, through the airport. It fits fine in the x-ray machine.
