The No-Stress Guide to Stroller & Car Seat Adapters
Learn Which UPPAbaby Adapters You May Need for Your Travel System
How to Choose the Right Adapters?
Adapters Made Simple
The word “adapter” might feel a little intimidating. Will it fit? Did I buy the right one? Can I figure this out at 8 AM with a baby on my hip? Take a deep breath! Some strollers don’t even need adapters, and the ones that do make it quick and easy with our Travel Systems. We’ve got you covered with a complete adapter guide below.
Which Strollers Need Adapters?
Find Your Fit
Direct Connection: you don’t even need adapters with these strollers when using an UPPAbaby car seat!
Adapters Needed:
Which Adapter Do You Need?
Pick the Right Adapter
If You Have or Are Getting a Minu:
Use the UPPAbaby Minu Adapters or simply get the Minu Travel System bundle with a Mesa or Aria car seat, and everything comes included. Designed to be lightweight and simple for your on-the-go lifestyle.
If You Have or Are Getting a Ridge:
Use the UPPAbaby Ridge Adapters or simply get the Ridge Travel System bundle with a Mesa or Aria car seat, and everything comes included. Designed for a secure, smooth ride during every all-terrain adventure.
If You Own a Mesa or Aria Infant Car Seat:
Adapter choice depends on your stroller: Minu or Ridge need adapters; Vista and Cruz don’t. Mesa and Aria car seats work with all of our strollers, you just need the right connection.
How Do You Use Adapters?
Click. Snap. Go.
Adapters are a small piece of hardware that lets your car seat (or second seat) click securely onto your stroller. Vista and Cruz connect directly with no adapter needed. Minu and Ridge require a tiny helping hand for a perfect connection.
- Just snap the adapter onto your stroller frame
- Click your car seat into the adapter until you hear a click
- Double-check that the seat is secure
- Done!
