A New UPPAbaby Stroller Is Coming
UPPAbaby has officially unveiled the new Kona stroller at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas, introducing an entirely new mid-size stroller category designed for how modern families move.
Positioned between a full-size pram and a compact travel stroller, the Kona is built to deliver:
- everyday comfort
- lightweight agility
- easier movement through busy daily life
For parents who want something more streamlined than a traditional full-size pram, without giving up usability or comfort, the Kona is shaping up to be one of UPPAbaby’s most exciting launches yet.

What Is the UPPAbaby Kona?
The UPPAbaby Kona is a new mid-size stroller designed to bridge the gap between:
- larger full-size prams like the VISTA V3 and CRUZ V3
- compact travel prams like the MINU V3
According to UPPAbaby, Kona was created for parents navigating:
- tight city spaces
- quick car-to-stroller transitions
- busy everyday routines
- modern family movement
The goal is simple: deliver the comfort and usability parents expect from a premium pram, in a more agile and compact design.
Why UPPAbaby Created Kona
As parenting lifestyles evolve, many families are looking for something in between:
- not too bulky
- not too compact
- still comfortable enough for everyday life
UPPAbaby describes Kona as a response to the way modern parents move through the day.
As CEO and Founder Bob Monahan explains:
“Today’s parents aren’t moving in straight lines - their days are dynamic, layered, and constantly shifting. Kona was created to meet this reality, giving families a stroller that keeps up without compromise.”
That positioning makes Kona especially interesting for:
- urban families
- parents wanting lighter day-to-day usability
- families transitioning out of larger prams
- those wanting a balance between comfort and portability
