UPPAbaby Piggyback Ride-Along Board for Minu and Minu V2 / Quick Attachment for Toddlers to Stand + Stroll

Now that my 2 year old is too big for me "wear" in a baby carrier, I was in search of a solution that would be compatible with our Minu stroller, especially for travel. I was a bit concerned about the product because of earlier reviews but it works really well. It attaches and unattaches easily (read the instructions and practice before you travel). Both my 4 year old and 2 year old are able to use the piggyback and take turns sitting in the seat. It requires the person pushing the stroller to walk on the right side but that tradeoff is more than worth it because I love that we have finally ditched our big 2 seater stroller. We used the piggyback in the airport with ease and now we use it everywhere we go. The minu fits in the overhead bin but you will need to remove the piggyback and fold in the front wheels of the Minu to flaten it. Pro tip: the strap that holds up the piggyback when not in use is very handy but it can come off easily. Either remove it when not in use or secure it with a velcro strap such as the Uma Baby stroller hook. We use one Uma Baby strap with carabiner hook to hold a bag on the right side of the stroller and the other to secure the strap on the left side. Attach the strap low enough on the stroller that you can fold the stroller with the piggyback still attached.

With two children (one toddler and one newborn), this is the perfect accessory for the older child. It’s built in classic UppaBaby premium sturdiness, durability, and precision. The folding feature really helps with portability and it gives the toddler a fun and safe place to stand for both long and short stroller walks. Absolutely critical for those in the UppaBaby ecosystem and with more than one child.

We got about 100 comments in the airport from people who thought this was the coolest thing! It’s easy to install, and once the child is on it’s so helpful. Cons: terrible for travel…when the stroller is folded, the piggyback board just hangs off. You have to detach it if you want to gate check and just carry the board around. Also if you take your child out of the stroller, the child on the board will fall because the stroller will tip over backwards. 5/5 idea 4/4 execution

I was hesitant to buy because of the bad reviews about it tipping over when stroller is empty. I’ve been using with an infant car seat attached to the stroller so it’s never truly been empty and the baby is usually in that car seat while we use this is seams really sturdy. I like how once you get the things on over the wheels the bar part can be removed and slid out with a push of a button for when not using. Or if the toddler hops off while using you can hook it up so you don’t kick it while walking. My toddler is 2.5 and says “it’s fun!” There were no instructions on how to install but I figured it out you just put the wheel covers on first, they go around the wheels and snap on and then the pole part slides on and clicks into place.

The piggyback board for the minu V2 was very poorly designed. I'm giving it 3 stars because it is high quality, seems durable and was very easy to attach, but that's where the positives end. I was using the board with my 14 lb infant in the mesa V2 infant seat attached with adapters. When my 45 lbmkingergartener rode on the piggy back, it would tip the front of the stroller if we walked too fast. I could probably live with this inconvenience but then I realize that when the stroller folds, the board sticks out at the bottom parallel to the rest of the folded stroller. This makes it really awkward for loading in to the car. You can technically flip the board the other way but then it flops down and hits you on your leg when you unload the stroller. I previously used the Vista V2 piggyback and that one was designed in a much more useful and practical way. I am so disappointed in the Minu piggyback, I really wanted to like it but unfortunately I will be returning it.

I really wanted to like this, but I spend more time complaining about it than glad I have it.It is easy to install on the Minu, and to take off. The hard part is that to hold it in place when you put it away, is very flimsy and I had to mess with it a few times.It takes up a lot of space when the stroller is folder. I found it easier to just remove the thing when I put the stroller away in my car, and re-attach it after.When in use, it gets in the way of your walking. If my kid is riding on the board, I basically have to step and push the stroller from the side. Very inconvenient.Overall, its nice to have something that my kid can use to ride on, but wish it was better.

I wanted to LOVE this as we have downsized our uppababy collection to just the minu! But the strap got lost within a few days (seems to be a problem), it just fell off while the board was in use & on the last occasion we didn’t notice. And you can’t pin it up without the strap, unlike uppababys other boards. It was really easy for my 3yo to pull on the stroller handle and topple it whilst my 1yo was seated too. I love the minu but this board is way too expensive for what it is

This is an amazing, magical device. In the land of very tricky stroller folding techniques, this was remarkably easy to put on and off. My four year old loved it on a trip and can’t wait to use it again. Cannot say enough good things.
