Verdict

The Cruz V3 is a full-size stroller that folds like a compact. It weighs 26.5 lb, takes an infant car seat on the frame without adapters, and takes a one-hand fold. The seat reverses and reclines flat for newborns, and a car seat mounts on the frame without adapters.

The basket is the limit: a small diaper bag fits and little else. The $900 list price sits near the top of this comparison. Families who need storage should read the Mockingbird review; frequent flyers should read the YOYO3 review.
