Nuna Mixx Next vs Uppababy Cruz V2 Stroller


Introduction

Taking your little child for a stroll? To keep them content and secure as you do errands and take them out on the town, you'll want to invest in the best strollers possible.

Nuna and UPPAbaby are two of the leading manufacturers of baby products. Given the significance of strollers for parents, we decided it was time to compare two of the most popular models: the Nuna MIXX Next and UPPAbaby CRUZ V2.

These two are quite similar at first glance, but how do they compare when you take everything apart?

To help you confidently decide which stroller is best for you and your expanding family, today we will compare both strollers in detail.

Weight and Dimensions

The UPPAbaby CRUZ V2 and Nuna MIXX Next are equivalent in terms of size and weight for full-sized strollers.

About 3 pounds less than the MIXX Next is the CRUZ V2. However, the MIXX Next can be folded to a shorter length of 5 inches, making it more portable.

Both strollers have solid wheels with all-wheel suspension for a comfortable ride, particularly while walking on uneven ground like grass, mud, or gravel. The MIXX Next has slightly bigger wheels with better all-terrain tread.

In contrast to the CRUZ V2 seat, which is advised for use from 3 months and up unless you add the Infant SnugSeat for additional head and neck support, the MIXX Next features a lie-flat seat that allows the pram seat to be used from birth.



Their Outlook

 

UPPAbaby CRUZ V2 :

The CRUZ V2 is available in a variety of hues, from vibrant and upbeat to subdued and contemporary. There is something to fit every lifestyle and make newborns appear like million dollar stars!

 

 

Nuna MIXX Next :

On the other hand, there are just 3 available hues for the MIXX Next, and they are all dark. While this is excellent for concealing spills and stains, the CRUZ V2 gives a greater degree of stylish adaptability.

 

 

Parents may put the toddler seat in either a forward-facing or a parent-facing position with either pram. A comfortable, cushioned all-season seat that can be removed in the summer is included with the MIXX Next. The stroller's back is covered with mesh to allow baby to breathe during those hot, humid days! The toddler seat on the CRUZ V2 is a little bit bigger than the toddler seat on other strollers, making it a terrific option for bigger newborns and developing kids.



Their Feeling

Options

WHEELS

Two strollers that are as rumble-free as they can be have been created by Nuna and UPPAbaby. Both include all-wheel suspension systems as well as tough, all-terrain foam wheels to keep your baby asleep on even the toughest terrain.

HANDLEBARS

Each pram has a telescopic handlebar covered in leather. Every time you take your child outside, you can get a comfortable grasp thanks to its height-adjustable handle. They are also built with a bumper bar to offer the infant something to grab onto and to keep them secure in their seat.

REST & RECLINE

Each pram includes an adjustable footrest and a 5-position reclining seat so your youngster can rest their weary little feet. Your baby will fall asleep quickly on the completely reclined seat with the footrest up.



Their Fold

Nuna MIXX Next UPPABaby CRUZ V2:

The folding pram may be rolled like a suitcase for portability or rotated into a standing posture.

The bumper bar is placed outside to act as a practical lifting grip when the CRUZ V2 is folded into a standing position.



Their Bassinet

Bassinet Height and Weight Limit

The UPPAbaby CRUZ and Nuna MIXX Next bassinets are authorised for overnight use, providing a secure space for baby to sleep both in the pram and at home.

Your baby can lay flat on her back in a bassinet, which is a safer and more pleasant option than sitting somewhat upright in a car seat.

Both bassinets include ventilation, which allows for greater air movement than the car seat's safety foam, which can cause newborns to get hot and sweaty. And both provide total sun protection: The UPPAbaby bassinet has an extended canopy, whereas the MIXX bassinet has a magnetised cover known as the Dream Drape.
