UPPAbaby Ridge Review

A one purchase solution for those parents looking for an every day travel system that is adventure ready! Sturdy and durable, yet nimble and light to push, we put the innovative engineering of the Ridge to the test.

Here at Pushchair Expert we have long been fans of the UPPAbaby brand. An American based company with a great ethos: “to make high-quality baby products that fit the needs of your new life as a parent, while appealing to the sense of style you’ve always had”, they first became known in our UK stores back in 2010. Firstly with the Vista, then adding the Cruz, Minu and Mesa along the way. Over 10 years later they have added the brand new Ridge to the mix.

A dual purpose stroller, well suited for those more adventurous walks, but still nimble enough for popping down the highstreet. The Ridge gives parents that sturdy all terrain option with from birth options available mean no compromises in comfort and safety for those younger babies. Lasting until 22kg with a generous seat, the Ridge really is a one purchase solution for active parents that do it all.

The fold is on the larger side but this is a compromise we feel parents will be willing to make for the advantages the Ridge offers. Here at Pushchair Expert we understand you will not be able to find a stroller as capable with a “travel stroller” fold.

If we were to try and find one thing we would like to see in addition to the Ridge, it would be a parent facing option for bigger babies. A lot of parents do like to retain that face-to-face connection when first moving their little ones into their seat. However we appreciate that the suspension fabric seat used on the Ridge frame is the optimum all-terrain system, offering better comfort for the passenger than a solid seat unit that clicks on and off the chassis, particularly on those rougher walks.

With the stroller starting at £820, it is of a higher price point. However, built to last and with from-birth options starting at £1150, we feel you can easily make the Ridge worth every penny.
