Many parents love the convenience of having a travel system – where you can click the infant car seat into the stroller. However, it can be a bit confusing figuring out which car seat is compatible with which stroller.
One popular stroller is the Cruz made by UPPAbaby. In 2020, the Cruz got a pretty significant upgrade, including a name change. Now called the UPPAbaby Cruz V2, this stroller is likely going to be just as popular (if not more) than its predecessor.
Let’s go over all the car seats that are compatible with the Cruz V2! There’s tons of options!
