Cruz V3 is the full-size single pram. It has the same seat quality, canopy and basket as Vista in a narrower, lighter frame, and it is suitable from birth with the included infant insert. Cruz is for one child at a time: it does not take a second seat. Choose it over Vista when you are confident one child is the plan, or when boot space matters more than the option to add a sibling later.

Safety
This pram meets the mandatory Australian requirement, Consumer Protection Notice No. 8 of 2007, and is also compliant with the voluntary standard AS 2088:2022 including Amendment 1:2024.
The mandatory standard is based on AS/NZS 2088:2000, so testing to the 2022 edition goes beyond what the law requires.
It is fully endorsed by INPAA, the Infant & Nursery Product Alliance Australia.
What that standard requires:
A red parking brake anyone can find
A five-point harness that cannot be removed
A wrist tether with no loop big enough to pass over a child’s head
A head barrier whenever the seat reclines flat for a sleeping baby
Clips straight onto the Cruz frame, no adapters. A firm, enclosed newborn sleep space with a breathable air mesh mattress and ventilation panels you can open or close. Lift it off by the handle and a sleeping baby stays that way. From birth to around 9 kg, or until they push up on hands and knees.
02 / 03
Twelve kilograms. Or 7.7 with the seat off.
Two triggers, one motion, and it folds with the seat still attached. Take the seat off and the frame lifts one handed while you hold a baby in the other.
03 / 03
A full-size pram that fits your life, not your garage.
The seat lies completely flat for a newborn and carries to 22.7 kg, so nothing is missing. It just folds to 43 cm deep and stands on its own when you are done.
How many children
These change what the pram actually carries, and each one shows what it costs on top of the pram.
In the box
Toddler seat
From birth with the included infant insert, then all the way to 22.7 kg.
Cruz carries one child. It does not take a second seat, and no accessory changes that. If a second child is possible, Vista is the frame that absorbs it.
One child, properly
The same seat and canopy. A narrower frame.
The Cruz carries the Vista's seat, its canopy and its bassinet on a frame built for one child. Eight centimetres shallower folded, and it still takes the Mesa capsule straight on.
A warranty of any length only ever covers manufacturing defects, so it is a promise about how the pram was built on day one, not about the next ten years.
Three years
Against manufacturing defects
If something was wrong with how it was made, we repair or replace it.
Up to ten years
Complimentary servicing
Brakes, wheels, harness, fold and canopy, checked and adjusted at Tune-Up Days.
If the worst happens
Crash Exchange
If your Mesa capsule or its base was in a vehicle during an accident, we replace it. It covers the capsule, not the pram.

Years of support
Three year warranty, then lifetime service support. Bring it in and we strip it, check it and adjust it.
Measure the opening of your boot, not the space inside it. The opening is what stops a pram going in.
This compares the folded pram against your boot opening as if both were rectangles. Real boots have wheel arches and sloping lids. Treat a close result as a reason to go and try it, not a promise.
Answers
Before you decide
Can I use the Cruz V3 from birth?
Yes. It is suitable from birth as sold, using the included infant insert. A bassinet attaches directly to the frame if you would rather have a newborn lying flat, and it is sold separately.
Can the Cruz V3 carry two children?
No. The Cruz takes one child and no accessory changes that. If a second child is likely, the Vista V3 is the frame that absorbs one without being replaced.
Will a Cruz V3 fit in my boot?
Folded with the seat attached it is 43 x 57.2 x 82.3 cm. With the seat removed it drops to 34.3 x 57.2 x 76.9 cm. Measure the opening of your boot rather than the space inside it.
How heavy is the Cruz V3?
12 kg with the frame and seat together. The frame alone is 7.7 kg and the seat 4.3 kg, so it lifts into a boot in two manageable pieces.
Does the Mesa capsule fit the Cruz V3?
Yes, directly, with no adapters. Other brands, including Maxi-Cosi, Nuna, Joie and BeSafe, fit using the same upper car seat adapter that covers Vista and Alta.
How is the Cruz V3 different from the Vista V3?
Same seat quality, canopy and basket, in a narrower and lighter frame that costs less. The trade is that the Cruz carries one child and the bassinet is not included.
Does the seat face me or face out?
Both. The seat is reversible and reclines flat enough for a newborn with the insert fitted.
How much can the basket hold?
The same generous basket as the Vista, reachable from either side including with the seat parent-facing.
How many colourways are there?
Five for the Cruz V3, all the same pram underneath.
How wide is the Cruz V3?
57.2 cm across, opened out to 95.2 x 57.2 x 106.1 cm. That width is what clears a shop aisle and a standard front door.
Can I add a ride-along board for an older child?
Yes. The Cruz PiggyBack board clips to the rear axle for a child to stand on, and folds up when nobody is riding.
How long is the warranty in Australia?
Three years from purchase against manufacturing defects, plus complimentary maintenance checks for up to ten years under Lifetime Service Support. Register your pram to activate it.
Is buying direct cheaper than a retailer?
No, and deliberately so. Our prices match authorised retailers. Buying direct gets you genuine stock, the Australian warranty, four month lay-by and UPPside Rewards points.
Can I try one before I buy?
Yes. Authorised retailers around Australia stock the range, and Meet the Experts days put our team on the shop floor with every model set up.
What happens if it is damaged by an airline?
Airline damage is excluded from the standard warranty, as it is with every pram brand. Our TravelSafe Program covers it: buy an UPPAbaby travel bag, register before you fly, and you are covered for four years.
