Meet the New UPPAbaby Ridge V2
The Ridge V2 TL;DR
The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 is built for families who don’t stay on perfectly manicured pavement paths. What that means for you can be anything—you like the trails, you’re in an urban environment where the sidewalks are uneven (looking at you NYC), or maybe you just like to go off the rails. The Ridge V2 combines performance with the comfort that UPPAbaby has built its reputation upon by using options like never-flat tires, a two-stage suspension, and other design aspects meant to keep your ride smooth and controlled across changing terrain.
The V2 upgrade focuses on daily-use improvements, such as side ventilation panels with fabric closures, an additional lower handlebar position (5 positions total), an updated ergonomic one-hand fold (press of a thumb / one-step push & slide), and more reflective trim on the wheels, logo, and basket. The Ridge V2 is also designed for long-term use: the seat is suitable from 3 months to 55 pounds, and from birth it’s compatible with the Bassinet and Aria / Mesa infant car seats with adapters. It’s also compatible with the PiggyBack ride-along board accessory for a second rider.
What Even is the UPPAbaby Ridge V2?
Ridge V2 is a performance stroller for parents who are constantly up against longer walks, uneven sidewalks, curb cuts, parks, trails, and any other terrain that makes lightweight strollers feel shaky. It’s engineered to UPPAbaby expectations for walking, running, trail, and all-terrain use, and it’s designed to feel stable and comfortable even when the ground is not.
Also, a lot of joggers feel great once you’re moving and feel annoying the second you need to fold them, store them, or grab something out of the basket. Ridge V2 works from both angles: it’s built for outdoor performance, and it also has the practical pieces like a one-hand fold that stands, a covered basket, useful pockets, superior ventilation, and a canopy setup (that really helps on long days).
What’s New on Ridge V2
- Side ventilation panels (with fabric closures): Ridge V2 adds side ventilation panels, and the fabric closures provide you extra control. Open them when you need airflow. Close them when the weather turns cold, the wind picks up, or you just want more coverage.
- Additional lower handlebar position (5 positions total): Ridge V2 moves to a 5-position handlebar and adds a lower setting. This is good news for households where different people push the stroller, and a practical change for parents who prefer a slightly lower push angle when jogging.
- Updated ergonomic one-hand fold: The Ridge already folded with one hand, and Ridge V2 reshapes the fold experience with a more ergonomic action. Needless to say, it’s even easier than before.
- More reflective trim (wheels, logo, basket): Ridge V2 adds reflective trim in more places, which is great for early morning walks, late afternoon winter light, and dusk jogs. Visibility is not a luxury feature when you’re near traffic.

Ridge V2 Performance
Performance strollers are about control + speed. Ridge V2’s ride setup is built around three fundamentals:
- Never-flat tires: Never-flat tires take tire maintenance out of the equation.
- Patented two-stage suspension: The two-stage suspension system of the Ridge V2 is built to keep the ride smooth and stable across terrain changes. The big wheels help you roll over rough surfaces.
- Swivel-locking front wheel + adjustable tracker: Ridge V2 includes a swivel-locking front wheel so you can shift from maneuverable strolling to a more stable, straight tracking feel. The adjustable tracker gives you a way to fine-tune alignment.
Braking and Stability
Ridge V2 is built with two braking systems that serve different moments:
- A disc hand brake for precise control
- A one-step foot brake for quick stops
It also includes a front wheel lock with a visual indicator, which allows you to confirm at a glance that the stroller is set for stability while jogging.
An Everyday Stroller?
Ridge V2 doesn’t just have to be used for running; it’s a great everyday stroller as well.
- It’s comfortable: Ridge V2 uses a deep, padded seat with an infinite recline and lumbar support.
- Ventilation that you can control: Includes controllable ventilation panels to keep your child comfortable across seasons.
- UPF 50+ canopy coverage: Protection, an extension for low sun, and a zippered pocket on the canopy for your phone and keys.

- From birth compatibility: Ready from birth with the Bassinet or infant car seats (Aria™ and Mesa®). Compatible with the PiggyBack® ride-along board for a second rider.
