Best Praise

+55 pts

“Ugh. We just bought our stroller and car seat 2 days ago because they were going up a total of $350 on May 12 (uppababy Cruz + aria). I’m glad we got in before the price increase but this administration can kiss my ass.”

Top Criticism

+2 pts

“Same here. We swapped our heavy UPPAbaby Cruz V2 for a Mamazing full-size cuz the Cruz was just too heavy for everyday outings. And highly recommend the Mamazing! It's super light, around 16 lbs. Price-wise it’s not high-end, but it has all the basics and honestly pushes just as smoothly as the UPPAbaby. Also, I recently saw Jamie Chung uses a stroller from this brand too... mind blown lol”
