UPPAbaby Ridge V2 Jogging Stroller - Charcoal: 5-Point Harness, Hand-Operated Brakes, One-Hand Fold, Flat-Free Tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Uppa baby ridge v2 is game change . I walk a lot especially with my two older kids to and from school and taking my now 8 month baby is a breeze . The never flat tires are amazing. My baby loves stroller rides and living in Chicago with the not so smooth side walks the uppa baby ridge is the best . Baby will sleep and what usually would wake him on our walks is just smooth riding . I haven’t found a stroller that is so easy to assemble or fold until I got the Ridge v2 in the mail. I can have my baby in one arm and fold and load the stroller in to the car if needed. This stroller fits perfect in my trunk of my grand Highlander with space for other essentials. This stroller had a great water bottle holder ( my owala fits perfect). The side pocket are amazing for my sons paci or toys. I love the small zipper pocket on the umbrella cover where my wallet fits or phone and head phones. We love this for every day strolls but also while Trying to get back in to shape will taking baby along. Uppa baby really nailed it with this stroller and the new color shades are amazing . Totally recommend

I have run 2 marathons and 6 half marathons so running has always been something that I feel passionately about. Trying to find a good running stroller that glides and isn't heavy is really hard. I LOVE this stroller. I have a 1.5 year old daughter and she also loves coming on runs with me. The stroller is able to maneuver over bumps and cracks in the sidewalk or street easily.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was allowed this opportunity to review this fantastic stroller through the Stellar product testing panel. This is a must for active parents who love jogging, hiking, or leisurely strolls. The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 is a fantastic choice that blends functionality and comfort. Its sturdy construction handles various terrains with ease, and the foam-filled tires mean you won’t have to worry about flat tires during your adventures. Complete with a plush, padded seat that reclines deeply for nap time, and a spacious canopy that provides excellent sun protection, keeping my toddler cool on sunny outings. The under-seat storage basket is roomy enough for essentials like her diapers and favorite snacks, with handy pockets for my phone and keys. Though it’s slightly heavier than some strollers, its impressive durability and safety features make it a smart investment for active families. I really enjoy how easily it folds down for storage, how it glides like butter on different surfaces, and how confident I feel about its efficient safety features. My toddler begs in excitement for more adventures in her new Ridge V2 stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] UppaBaby absolutely DID NOT MISS with this gorgeous new stroller. We received this as part of the Stellar Panel product testing panel but after using it CAN CONFIRM we would happily purchase this for our family without hesitation! From stunning aesthetics to real practicality, this has quickly become our "everyday" stroller, even when we're not trying to burn calories on a walk or run! From the high quality, weather-proof materials to the sturdy, strong all-terrain wheels, this is a stroller built to last. It rides SO smooth, takes on uneven pavement and terrain without an issue, and as a mom, has me confident that my child is safe and secure while riding inside. They thought of everything - from the deep canopy pocket, the ventilation detail when the seat is reclined, the adjustable handlebar, canopy extender, compatible water bottle carrier, and deep, actually USABLE basket underneath -- the details are both beautiful and functional! The handbreak was also an amazing touch as it gave me that extra confidence that we would be able to stop quickly if needed - a safety feature worth its weight in gold! My husband and I actually fight over who gets to push it! Will be recommending this to ALL of my mom friends as an absolute necessity! I love that we can take this stroller out with us and not need a stroller hook or extra bags to hold all of our stuff - it can truly be our bag and stroller in one! It is genuinely the most functional stroller we have ever used - and trust me, we've used a LOT of them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 has been such a game‑changer for our family. My 2.5‑year‑old fits comfortably, and the stroller handles beautifully no matter where we take it. And trust me, we’ve taken it everywhere! Zoo days, long walks down our neighborhood paths, shopping trips, even the aquarium… it hasn’t missed a beat. The suspension is fantastic, the ride is smooth, and the brakes are incredibly reliable, especially when we’re going up or down the little hills around the parks. As a stay‑at‑home mom who’s constantly on the go with different outings, I’ve really been able to put this stroller to the test across a wide variety of places and terrains. Without fail, it’s handled every single one effortlessly. We’ve always loved our UPPAbaby Vista V2, it’s been with us since birth, but moving up to the Ridge V2 has made life noticeably easier. The bigger tires make such a difference in maneuverability. It glides with ease, even when the basket is loaded, and the covered storage is a huge plus for keeping things secure at parks or busier places. Setup was also shockingly fast! I had the tires popped on and the stroller fully opened and ready to go in just 37 seconds. For something this sturdy, that kind of convenience is a big win. The adjustable handlebar is another win for us. I’m on the shorter side and my daughter’s dad is taller, so being able to quickly adjust it makes outings more comfortable for both of us. My daughter didn’t mind the harness at all, and it feels secure without being restrictive. Ventilation-wise, it’s almost perfect. Living in Florida, airflow is a big deal. Right now, with the weather still mild, it’s been great! But once we hit those peak summer months, I do wish the back panel had just a bit more ventilation. Not a dealbreaker, just something I noticed. Folding it up and getting it into the trunk is surprisingly easy for a stroller this sturdy. The design feels thoughtful and practical without sacrificing comfort. It did come with a snap‑on cupholder for. The design isn’t my favorite, it’s definitely more “jogging stroller functional” than “luxury stroller polished”, but it does the job, and I understand why it’s built that way. I was given this jogging stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 regularly, and it’s one of those strollers that immediately feels solid the second you start pushing it. On smooth pavement it glides effortlessly, but what really impressed me was how it handled rougher terrain. Gravel paths, cracked sidewalks, and even grass felt manageable thanks to the large air-filled tires and built-in suspension. You can feel the shock absorption working without the ride ever feeling stiff. The hand brake adds another layer of control — especially on downhill stretches — and made me feel confident that I was fully in control rather than chasing the stroller. Day to day, it’s surprisingly practical for something so sturdy. The adjustable handlebar moves smoothly and accommodates different heights easily, which is helpful if multiple caregivers are using it. Folding it down is straightforward once you’ve done it a couple of times, and it stands on its own when folded, which makes storing it between outings much less chaotic. It’s not the tiniest fold on the market, but it feels secure and manageable — and I’ve never felt like I was wrestling with it while trying to juggle a toddler. As for my little one, they seem genuinely comfortable riding in it. The seat is supportive and padded without feeling bulky, and the harness is secure but soft enough that it doesn’t cause complaints. The side ventilation panels make a noticeable difference on warmer days — there’s airflow without sacrificing sun protection — and the large canopy helps create a cozy space for naps on the go. Even over bumpier paths, the ride looks smooth and stable. What I ended up loving most are the thoughtful details. The covered storage basket is roomy and easy to access, which makes grocery runs or long park outings much easier. I can fit a diaper bag, snacks, and extra layers without playing Tetris. The reflective accents are subtle but reassuring during early morning or evening walks, and the small storage pockets are incredibly convenient for keys, phones, or quick-grab items. Overall, the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 feels like a stroller that was designed for real life — smooth to push, comfortable for kids, and packed with small features that genuinely make outings simpler and more enjoyable.I was so lucky to receive this as part of the stellar panel.

great for cobblestone and super smooth on sidewalks. love it and def recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The UPPAbaby Ridge v2 stroller is a sight to behold. It came very well packaged, and assembly was a cinch - just attach the 3 tires and water bottle holder (no tools required) and you're ready to go! Speaking of the wheels, they are massive and can handle almost any kind of terrain. I appreciate that they are "never-flat" tires so we're not dealing with any puncture scenarios . The braking system is overengineered to the point where I have no fear of the stroller moving anywhere on its own, especially on ground that isn't level or has an incline/decline. I especially appreciate the hand brake for quick braking scenarios. The suspension is extremely robust as well, and we had no issues during our winter test walk with ice and snow still on the ground. The one thing that certainly stands out is how much bigger and heavier this stroller is, even when folded up. It weighs almost 30 pounds and stands at around 3 feet tall when folded up. That is something to keep in mind if you do not have much trunk space to spare. This is definitely not going to be your go to as a travel stroller, but it was never designed for that. We will likely end up using this as our every day stroller for outdoor activities, but use our standard stroller for travel. The ride is very nice for baby. Our 11 month old was all smiles because he was so much higher up than his previous stroller! The canopy is UPF 50+ rated and has ample sun and light precipitation coverage. There is also built-in venting in both the canopy and the back of the stroller, so I imagine it will be very comfortable in warm weather. Other notable things that we appreciated was the ample stroller storage and covered basket below, as well as the very large water bottle holder. We do miss having some of the built-in handle-bar area storage for parents, but that is easily remedied with any number of aftermarket solutions. I also do wish that the snack tray was included, but it is available to purchase on the UPPAbaby website. We also do have an Aria v2 car seat, but could not test it with the stroller because the adapters were not provided, but they can be purchased as well. As our boy is starting to transition out of a normal baby car seat, we likely will not purchase the adapters to try that out. We haven't had it long enough to truly comment on durability or ease of cleaning, but the documentation does state that the fabrics are all water repellant and easy to clean. Time will tell! We were provided this jogging stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in return for our unbiased and honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been using the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 with our one-year-old for a few weeks now, and it immediately feels like a true performance stroller. The first thing I noticed was how smooth and stable it is. The suspension and large tires make a huge difference - I’ve taken it over uneven sidewalks, curbs without ramps, snow, slush, wet pavement, and uneven roads, and it handled everything effortlessly. I was able to go off and back onto curbs one-handed without losing control, which really shows how well it’s designed. My daughter was laughing while I made sharp turns, and she clearly loves the smooth ride. It’s incredibly easy to maneuver and truly feels like pushing a mountain bike, not a traditional stroller. It turns on a dime, and I prefer using it with the front swivel unlocked because it’s so responsive. The wrist strap and hand brake add an extra level of safety and control, especially on hills or slippery winter surfaces, and make it feel very secure even when jogging or moving quickly. The materials and build quality feel extremely premium and durable. The handlebar has an athletic-style grip that’s very comfortable and has multiple adjustment positions that worked well for both me and my husband. The canopy is thoughtfully designed with multiple ventilation panels and a zip pocket for essentials like a phone or keys. The included cup holder is excellent and securely fits my 26oz stainless steel bottle, which I use constantly. Small details like reflective accents and water-repellent fabrics make it clear this stroller was designed for real outdoor use. My daughter seems very comfortable and supported in the seat, and she genuinely enjoys riding in it. There are ventilation panels on both the canopy and sides of the seat, which will be great in warmer weather. There are also small storage pockets near the seat where a bottle can fit, but they’re within her reach - and at her age, she would absolutely throw it. I do wish there were an additional parent-side storage spot or bottle holder near the handlebar specifically for her bottle, since the included cup holder is perfect for adult drinks. One downside for me is the seat recline system. It uses an adjustable strap squeeze-and-pull adjustment rather than a simple click system. It’s easy to recline the seat while your child is in it, but tightening it back up to a more upright position is difficult to do one-handed and often requires both hands or briefly lifting to get it fully upright. It works, but it’s not nearly as convenient or intuitive as a click-based recline. Assembly was straightforward. The wheels pop into place easily, and accessories like the cup holder attach quickly. The instructions are mostly visual, and I did have to watch a YouTube video to figure out how to fold it. Once you know where it is, it’s easy - you lift the foot panel and squeeze the handle inside, and it folds smoothly. Because of the large tires, it’s a little bulky when folded, but still manageable for storage. The handlebar is easy to adjust, and a one-hand fold from the handlebar would make it even better. The storage basket is a bit smaller than what I’m used to for everyday use, though completely reasonable for a jogger. The harness uses a standard buckle, and while it’s secure, it’s not quite as convenient as magnetic styles. It’s also technically compatible with an infant car seat or bassinet, but it requires adapters (sold separately) and removing multiple pieces, so it’s not something I’d want to switch back and forth regularly. Overall, this stroller feels extremely well-engineered, sturdy, and smooth. It performs beautifully in rough terrain and winter conditions, and my daughter clearly enjoys riding in it. While some families could absolutely use this as their everyday stroller, for me this is the stroller I’d reach for when I want something reliable for walks, jogging, and more active outdoor adventures. It feels built to handle real-world conditions and built to last. I was given this jogging stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you product testing panel for giving me this stroller in exchange for my honest review. This stroller is amazing! I’m a big uppababy girl as I have the aria car seat and the vista with all the accessories and use it as a double for my two kids! This stroller is amazing! I only used it once for jogging because it’s been non stop snowing in NY, and when I did, it was such an easy push, so easy to remain in control of and I love that there were so many breaking options for safety and security. I love the one hand fold as I live in a five story walk up in the city and it makes folding and bringing up so quick and easy! The wheels are amazing - it’s the only stroller I’ve been able to navigate in the streets of the city over the past 2 weeks and I feel so fortunate to have it - otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get my toddler to school with the crazy snow everywhere! I love that the bassinet and car seat easily go on with the adapter and the seat was very easy to remove and put back on- while still feeling secure. The wheels are amazing and reliable and I love how large they are and the fact that they’re not air tires so I don’t have to worry about popping them. The covered storage basket is great for so many things- I love not having to worry that something’s going to slide out the top or side while I’m jogging, I love that it keeps it dry in the snow and I love that it hides extra snacks and pacis from my toddler when we’re out and about! I really cannot recommend this stroller enough! It’s great for city walking and uneven pavement, it’s great for snow, trails and jogging! It’s so versatile and I only wish there was a way to include a second seat option so I can push both of my kiddos in it because I love it so much

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using the Uppa Baby Ridge V2 recently after receiving it as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel. We are an active family that walks/jogs over multiple terrains around our neighborhood including grass, gravel and a dirt walking path, pushing our toddler every step of the way. We have been impressed with the durable/quality feel and easy maneuverability. The adjustable handle and brakes add a level of comfort that is much appreciated with a 8” height difference between my wife and I. My wife particularly likes the brakes for control on descents. The large under seat storage and over sized bottle holder are bonuses. The only feature we wish was present was an adjustable footrest to better accommodate different children. Despite that, our 2 year old loves the seat! Overall we’re happy that it feels like a quality product and operates as expected. If you're on the move often, it’s worth the investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was able to test out the very comfortable and smooth-riding Ridge V2. As a mom of a toddler and one more on the way who lives in Colorado on the trails, I loved having this jogging stroller as one of my stroller options. The first thing I noticed was the smooth suspension and the large wheels. Even my husband who worked in the automotive industry complimented the suspension of the wheels. It turned out being just as smooth on a gravel path behind our house as a paved path. My child did not react one bit when we transitioned from the paved trail to the gravel trail - he was totally comfortable! We also loved the single handed hand brake on the push handle, which was easy to press and keep the stroller in control especially on downhills. Everytime we used the non jogging stroller, we immediately noticed the lack of a hand brake because the Ridge V2 got us so used to slowing down with just a quick press! If your child is used to a stroller with a snack tray or front bumper bar, this stroller doesn’t have that. However, it does have small pockets on either side of the seat interior to store anything from snacks to pacifiers or, like with my kiddo, to be used as a fidget toy during jogs / walks. Our garage is pretty spacious so we didn’t need to fold it up and left it open most of the time, so I can’t say how easy it was to fold down. I will say the stroller itself does feel substantial - it’s solid, somewhat weighty, and large. It’s not at all flimsy but on the flip side does take up more space whether storage or on the trails. A few things I especially loved about the stroller: - The extended canopy. There is a zipper extension for full coverage during sunny or windy days. Kiddo appreciated that, especially because he won’t keep a hat or sunglasses on without a fight! - The easy foot brakes (parking brake). Most strollers have a single flip up-flip down foot brake in the bottom middle of teh stroller. The Ridge V2 actually makes parking the stroller super easy by having one small foot brake on next to each back wheel that the pusher only needs to step down on. They are easily labeled even for moms with pregnant mom brain - green for go and red for stop. Parking and getting going are FAST - a big pro especially for those kiddos who start whining when you stop. - The underseat storage was big - the water bottle holder was big enough to hold my large 32 oz bottle and solidly secured. No other stroller I’ve used has been able to accommodate my size of water bottle - or the bottle holder was too flimsy or shaky and the bottle would constantly fall out. Not fun chasing a water bottle down the trail when I have a toddler and a pregnant belly. Safe to say my water bottle has NEVER fallen out of this large and secure bottle holder so I could run, jog, or walk as fast as I wanted. - The covered underseat storage. Most strollers I’ve used have an underseat storage basket, but the Ridge V2 is cool because it has a large basket with a cover. The cover features a zipper and a bungee clasp to keep the basket closed during twists and turns. We have thrown many snacks, extra layers of clothing, and even toys down there without them falling out even on gravel paths going up and downhills. A few things to note: - If your kiddo is used to a reclining seat or a seat with an adjustable foot rest, this one does not appear to have that option. The seat itself is not as deep as a regular stroller so depending on how your kiddo feels, they may or may not last as long as in a regular stroller. - We are lucky enough to live walking distance to jogging and running trails paved and non-paved but if you need to drive to trails, this stroller would probably take up decent space in your trunk. - The handlebar has a foam covering, which - although it is cushy for your hands - may not last as long under the sun or rain. Probably best not to store it outdoors if possible. Overall, I’m impressed by the craftsmanship of the stroller and can tell it was built was quality in mind. If you’re looking for a jogging specific stroller and don’t mind the weightiness for the quality build, this one is it - don’t look further.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a long time user of the Uppababy Vista, I was excited to try out the Ridge V2. In the past, I have not been a fan of running strollers. They always felt different to me and not something that I enjoyed. When Stellar Product Testing Panel gave me the opportunity to test out the Uppababy Ridge V2, it was a chance that I could not turn down! This has all of the smooth gliding I love from the Vista, with the superior breaking mechanism that is just impressive! First, the suspension. For anyone that has used enough strollers, you know that they are not created equal. In this regard, strollers are very "you get what you pay for", of course with some exceptions. I have used other running strollers and this has been the biggest draw back from making them the daily driver. However, the Ridge V2 glides across any and all surfaces with ease. In the Northeast, we recently had a blizzard amount of snow, and the Ridge V2 was navigating the poorly plowed and shoveled paths. Wet, dry, snowy, none of that mattered. The large wheels also made navigating the paths a breeze. Not being used to having a stroller with a dedicated breaking mechanism, this was a pleasant surprise. When I was unboxing the stroller, I was really taken back by the breaks construction. Being a nerd, I am familiar with various breaking systems and the one on the Ridge V2 mimics some very high end bicycle breaking systems. I tried it out at various speeds (first without and then with my little one) and found it to work extremely well. Once the roads are a bit more clear, I am excited to take this out on more extended runs. I was a little nervous about how my little one would take to the stroller, but she absolutely loves it and even asks for it over the other stroller! The first time I put her in the Ridge V2, she asked to nap in it! The adjustability of the seat is more than adequate for a day adventuring or the classic stroller nap. The shade does close and adjust to a lot of different positions, depending on if your little one wants to see or needs privacy. The one handed folding of this stroller made this even easier to take with us on adventures. It fit easily in the back of our Toyota Sienna, and with the toddler in one arm I was able to easily load and un-load the Ridge V2. I will admit that it took me a few minutes to understand how to fold up the stroller, but once I did its now easy. Accessories like the covered basket on the bottom are an amazing addition. It is enormous and easily fit anything we needed to bring with us. The water bottle holder (which can be configured for either side) perfectly fit our go to water bottles. In the end, I really can't say enough great things about this stroller. It glides over all terrains, has the adjustable seat and shade that is a necessity, large basket to carry anything you need, with a breaking system that is just downright impressive. If you are in the market for a running stroller, do not overlook the Uppababy Ridge V2, you will not be disappointed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The moment this box arrived on my doorstep, I had a feeling it was going to be something exceptional. We're definitely an UPPAbaby home- we've used the infant car seats, basically live by the Minu Duo stroller, and have a well beloved Vista V2. So did we need a new stroller? Of course. We didn't have one for jogging yet! While the others absolutely hold their ground in their various specialties (Duo and Vista V2 are amazing for everyday use), they are not perfect for some of our other needs, like off-terrain adventures or a good solid jog. Enter the Ridge V2. The stroller required minimal assembly, I think it took my wife 10 minutes at most to get it all put together and learn the fold/unfold (which is often the toughest part). The frame was extremely impressive as you can feel the metal durability, while it still was relatively lightweight for it's construction. The way this stroller folds and unfolds is so clever! It took less than 5 minutes to get it fully committed to memory, and to be able to smoothly fold and unfold with ease. The seat itself is very roomy—while I intend to primarily use this stroller with my 1 and 3 year olds, my 8 year old and 6 year olds also insisted on sitting in it, and they both fit comfortably! (For them anyway - I thought my 8 year old definitely had her legs overhang a bit, but she insisted it was great). I appreciated how incredibly easy it is to adjust the harness, both the shoulder straps and waist straps, as it takes less than a minute to get this stroller perfectly adjusted no matter which kiddo was riding. My one wish? That the buckle was magnetic. That would take this from a ten out of ten, to a solid fifteen out of ten. Speaking of adjustments, the handlebar and wheels both adjusted with absolute ease. While I am right at 6', my wife is a cool 5'3". We definitely need the handlebar at different levels, and this one did not disappoint. I would say it takes maybe 5 seconds (10 at most) to get the handlebar adjusted for maximum comfort between the two of us. The wheel is also extremely easy to adjust, and what I mean by that is to switch between swivel mode (perfect for navigating tight spaces, or moving around the neighborhood/store) to locked mode (perfect for jogging time!). Some of my past jogging strollers required tedious adjustment to get the wheel perfectly aligned before locking, not this one though. It's a quick click of a button, and it straightens itself and locks in place (all you have to do is push the stroller forward), and like wise a quick unclick and the wheel returns to swivel. This versatility and ease is unmatched. I have navigated numerous terrains so far- sidewalks, grass, gravel, and even obstacles around my home (We have 6 kids-the toys are everywhere, but my kids love this stroller so much they insist on using it inside too—don't worry, I cleaned the wheels!). Every terrain and obstacle was handled with ease. The braking system stops the stroller on a dime, without an intense lurch, which I didn't realize was super possible. They must have amazing shocks in this stroller, but it truly seems like my kids have the smoothest ride imaginable. Then there are the fun extras- the cupholder is DURABLE and ready for action. Does it fit every size water bottle? No. But the ones that do fit (not you Stanley!) fit perfectly and are secure, which is exactly what I need when I am on the run. The storage has a covered basket. A COVERED BASKET. I didn't ever think about something like this, but it has proven to be extremely handy. It keeps my belongings secure, but is still extremely easy to access if I need anything. Overall, this stroller has made my life easier, while ensuring I can still get out and exercise or go on exciting adventures. I'm looking forward to the summer when we can take this to Colorado and test it in the mountains! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this stroller in exchange for my honest review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the RidgeV2 stroller as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. We are in love! It far exceeded our expectations, and has now become our go-to stroller for walks around our neighborhood, mainly due to it’s ultra-smooth handling, ability to tackle sidewalks cracks of any size, easy in popping over curbs, and safety in descending large hills. It is also very easy off-road on the trails down near our local creek and handled mud, snow, and uneven terrain with no issues. As part of the program, we are required to write a review, and as we compared notes, neither of us could find a single negative thing to say. That alone is saying a lot. Read on for some of our highlights. The RidgeV2 has multiple handle positions that are easily adjustable for parents or caregivers of different heights. It’s so smooth and easy to push. The water bottle holder is a good size, provides easy access, and doesn’t feel like the bottle will ever fall out. The bottom storage area has a great amount of space, and the zipper + flip-top is a wonderful combination for easy access. There’s also a few stitched pockets just inside the flip-top that are great to help keep things organized. The shade canopy has multiple positions and multiple vents, with an extra extension if you unzip it. The shoulder straps and recline positions are both quickly and easily adjustable, and the main buckle is strong, secure and easy to do. It’s also easy to fold with a quick one-hand button slide + press. The stroller has a green pedal for unlock and a red pedal for lock, both of which are push-down, so they’ll still work with sandals. The hand brake is great too, especially when descending a large hill, decreasing strain on your arms and increasing safety. There’s also a wrist wrap leash attachment for added security. Our favorite part though is by far the amazing handling. It can handle bumps, curbs, and all-terrain with ease. We also feel comfortable knowing that the tires are foam-filled and won’t go flat. Overall, an amazing stroller that we recommend to anyone that has the space for a larger, all-terrain “jogging” stroller.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me preface this by saying, I've always wanted a jogging stroller to take my babies and especially toddlers on walks/jogs around the neighborhood. I have researched and tried every popular brand of jogging stroller and had never pulled the plug for various reasons. So when Stellar Product Testing Panel reached out to me about trying the new UppaBaby Ridge v2, I was thrilled because it was one I hadn't tried before and I would finally get that opportunity to jog with my babies. When it arrived, we immediately took it out of the box and my first instinct was that it is a beautiful stroller. It is so aesthetically pleasing, sleek and modern. It is literally the nicest looking jogging stroller I have ever seen. Its weighty, feels and looks expensive. It was super easy to put together- just popping the wheels on. We have another UppaBaby stroller and so I was familiar with how you take the wheels on and off. You just push the button in the center of the wheel and they very easily come on and off. Opening and closing the stroller had a little bit of a learning curve to me but once I figured out that you slide the button and press it (thank you uppababy for a child proof method!), it was a total cinch opening and closing the stroller. We have taken it on walks every single day that we have had it now. It drives like a total dream- on any surface! The suspension and shocks system is incredible and makes it so smooth for the child inside- so much so that my "never nap outside the bedroom" two year old, FELL ASLEEP one day! Amazed is an understatement. The wheel size and the type of tires probably helped a lot with that too- they are not only functional but they look super cool too. The handlebar is really nice because it easily moves up and down if a sibling, myself or my husband wants to push the stroller. The covered basket is so cool and kept everything safe and secure. The harness system is great because I felt like my daughter was secured tightly in the stroller. The cup holder is okay but kind of at a weird angle and doesn't hold any of my bigger water bottles (not a reason to not get the stroller IMO because this is literally the only thing I don't love about it). And the sun shade, THE SUN SHADE, is the holy grail of sunshades. It opens easily and the normal setting is so great for blocking the sun. BUT THEN, it can unzip on the edge and opens one more setting and it goes down at a height I have never seen before. It completely blocks the sun from your child at any angle. This was especially nice when my daughter fell asleep because it could be somewhat dark for her. It's easy to zip back up so she can see when she is awake. As someone who has researched and tried basically every jogging stroller, get this one. WOW. It is the best of the best for jogging strollers and I will now recommend it to every friend of mine looking for one. You can't get a better stroller and it's worth every penny. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try the new Uppababy Ridge v2- it has really enhanced our life in more ways than one!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 jogging stroller to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I have been really impressed. Right away, what stood out to me was how smoothly it pushes. It glides on sidewalks and grass and navigates gravel and uneven pavement like a champ. The suspension makes the ride feel really smooth, and even though the stroller itself feels sturdy and solid, pushing it feels effortless. The wheels spin incredibly well without resistance, and the hand brake gives you peace of mind, especially since the wheels move so freely. The brakes in general are actually impressive. For day to day use, I found adjusting the handlebar and folding and unfolding the stroller to be pretty intuitive after the first try. It is slightly on the heavier side, but not in a way that feels unmanageable. Storage wise, it is a bit bulky, but that is expected with a full size jogging stroller, and the sturdiness makes sense once you are using it. My little one seemed really relaxed while riding in it. The harness feels very secure and supportive, and combined with the smooth suspension, she seemed comfortable and content during our outings. One of my favorite features is the larger capacity basket. It holds up to 20 pounds and even has interior pockets, which is so helpful for organizing snacks, water bottles, and other essentials. I also love the large water bottle holder on the side and the zippered pouch on the canopy for my phone or small items. Everything about this stroller feels high quality, from the frame to the tires to the aesthetic. Most important, I genuinely feel safe putting my child in it, which is everything. It has made outings feel smoother, literally and figuratively.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 from The Stellar Product Testing Panel. As an active mom of three children under four, I can truly say that this jogging stroller is dreamy! This product is high-quality, stylish, comfortable for parent and baby, and extremely versatile. It has many standout features that make it feel both well-designed and engineered. The brake system is truly so impressive. I didn’t expect to care this much about a stroller’s brake system… but wow. The Ridge v2 completely changed my expectations.The hand-operated disc brake is one of the standout features. Instead of a basic foot brake, it uses a responsive disc system (similar to what you’d see on a bike), and you can actually feel the precision. No matter the terrain, it doesn’t feel jerky. Braking feels smooth and intentional. The rear disc brake setup feels secure and performance-driven. The air-filled tires combined with the advanced suspension system make the ride incredibly smooth. It glides with stability on pavement, gravel, and park trails. It is alap easy to maneuver — you don’t feel like you’re wrestling it around corners. The adjustable handlebar is comfortable for different heights, and the fold is simple once you get used to it. For an all-terrain stroller, it folds down well and fits easily in the trunk. It is quite durable, but is admittedly on the heavier side. Our little ones seem so so comfortable. The seat support is more than adequate. Additionally, the harness is easy to adjust, and the side ventilation panels make a noticeable difference on warmer days. The smooth ride makes it an easy napping environment as well! The Ridge v2 feels like a performance stroller built for real life. It’s smooth, confidence-inspiring, and thoughtfully engineered — especially the braking system! It honestly makes outings feel easier and more controlled. I am so happy my family can use this stroller with our other UPPAbaby attachments for our infant and toddlers! Side note: Our children found the box equally appealing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Stellar Panel Testing Panel for my honest review. This is THE stroller for jogging, walking, outdoor and even indoor activities on all kinds of terrain, it is incredible and has all the bells and whistles you could imagine. My husband and I are big into jogging and walking with our son, we love the outdoors and try to incorporate it into our daily life. Upon first receiving this product, my husband and I were dumbfounded by all the nifty details from the adjustable back panel that allows you to sit your child upright or recline them back, the roomy covered basket with zipper enclosure, the sturdy tires, the ventilation options, the adjustable handle bar with the safety wrist strap or the impressive break hand break system. Just wow! I received so many compliments and questions about this stroller from moms with infants to moms with older toddlers, it’s a reliable stroller that can grow with your child and you can truly use it anywhere. I even took it to a crowded convention center and had no problem weaving in and out of the crowd. The push on this stroller is so smooth and transition from grass to flat pavement, rocks, uneven pavement and uphill was done with such ease. I love the ease of control with this stroller and I felt more confident taking this out for even a simple walk then I ever did before. I loved that the hand bar has two different adjustments and it’s easy to set the adjustment to what is more comfortable to you. I also loved the covered basket had a larger storage and that it can zip close so my snacks, bottles, wipes etc weren’t flying out of the basket on a run. My 13 month old is very comfortable in this stroller and seems to prefer this one over others we have. The shoulder straps are cushioned and secure and the seatbelt is easy to click in. It’s a nice feeling knowing he is in a safe and reliable stroller, especially on jogs. We live in the south so the hot weather will be approaching quickly so I look forward to using all the ventilation options to keep my little one cool and content. Lastly, the fold of this stroller is easy and fairly intuitive. There’s a flap by the foot area of the stroller. The flap flips up and there’s a button that you press and slide and the stroller folds in seconds all in one piece. So convenient for taking in and out of your vehicle. It also fits great in a smaller sedan like ours. Overall, 10 out of 10, this jogging stroller is a must!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this jogging stroller from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and was skeptical before opening the box. We have been using a competitor jogging stroller for years now that we have absolutely loved. I went into this expecting to like the Ridge V2, but not love it. I was so wrong! This stroller is by far the best one we have used yet, and will be replacing the one we had been using. From opening the box to getting one of my girls in it for our first outing was maybe five minutes. It was so easy to put together. The instructions booklet was lacking clear instructions, but there were more online. I didn’t need them though, it was so quick and easy to just look at the wheels, pop them on and go! I love that the wheels are so large. The stroller was so easy to push, so smooth! It feels much lighter to push than the one we have, and much easier to push than I expected (even with my almost four year old in it). It looks great, very sleek. It sits a bit higher than a few others we have noticed while out walking. The compartment below has a zip cover so nothing bounces out or gets muddy, I love this feature! The hood/shade extends via a simple zipper and comes down in front of the baby/kid which is so nice if it’s raining or low sun in front of you. The hand break seems to be in a strange spot at first, but it’s actually in a great spot for quick or unexpected stopping. It also has a lock or full break lever foot pedal. They work great, also much smoother than the competitor stroller. I am so happy with this stroller, it’s been a game changer. I can control where we are going with just one hand, which was always hard to do before with other strollers we have used. Even folding it down is perfectly simple and quick. If there is anything to complain about at all…and this is just being nit-picky for the sake of a full review…the water bottle holder is kind of a joke. It’s just in a strange spot where the water bottle got jostled out a few times, and it will only fit certain sizes or types of bottles. It’s fine if you have a bottle in there for walking, but the compartment at the bottom is easier to use for a large bottle or coffee mug with closing lid when running or going over rougher terrain. Both of my kids love this stroller, so much so that the oldest asked if we can keep it and donate the one we have had since she was born (which she absolutely loved until the Ridge V2 was adopted into the family)!
