    Best Infant Car Seats Compatible with the UPPAbaby Cruz Stroller

    The UPPAbaby Cruz is a favorite among parents who want the quality and features of a full-size stroller in a smaller, easier-to-handle frame. It’s sleek, sturdy, and built to make everyday outings—whether that’s running errands, weaving through tight aisles, or weekend strolls—feel simple and stress-free. The newest version adds thoughtful updates, including a new carriage mode that lets you use the seat from day one with your newborn. And like every Cruz before it, it’s ready to pair with your favorite infant car seat for a complete, easy-to-use travel system.

    What Infant Car Seats Are Compatible with the UPPAbaby Cruz?

    The following infant car seat brands are compatible with the UPPAbaby Cruz when used with the correct adapters. 

    The Best Match: UPPAbaby Infant Car Seats for the Cruz 

    If you’re wondering which car seat works best with the UPPAbaby Cruz, the answer’s easy—UPPAbaby’s own Mesa and Aria series. Both attach directly to the Cruz frame with no adapters required, giving you the most convenient and integrated setup possible.

    Pairing an UPPAbaby infant car seat with the Cruz V3 offers the simplest experience from day one. You’ll get a secure connection, quick transitions between car and stroller, and a travel system designed to feel like one complete unit—not a mix of separate parts.

    UPPAbaby Mesa Infant Car Seat

    The Mesa is made for parents who want a car seat that’s safe, simple, and easy to live with every day. Its intuitive design takes the stress out of installation, so you can feel confident that your baby is secure from the very first ride. With soft, breathable fabrics and built-in side-impact protection, it offers comfort and safety without the premium price tag.

    UPPAbaby Aria Infant Car Seat

    The Aria is designed for parents who want premium safety and thoughtful design in the lightest possible package. It weighs just six pounds, making it one of the easiest seats to lift, carry, and install—all without sacrificing comfort or protection. With advanced side-impact technology, breathable materials, and high-end details throughout, the Aria delivers top-tier performance in a travel-friendly design.

    Benefits of Pairing the Cruz with an UPPAbaby Infant Car Seat

    • Direct compatibility—no adapters required

    • Fewer parts to manage and nothing extra to buy or forget

    • No additional adapter costs

    • Clean, cohesive look that feels like a true travel system

    • Aria is one of the lightest infant car seats available

    • Advanced safety and side-impact protection for peace of mind

    • All UPPAbaby infant car seats are GREENGUARD Gold Certified for low chemical emissions

    Why You Might Choose a Different Infant Car Seat Brand for the Cruz

    UPPAbaby car seats are designed with unique connection points made specifically for the Cruz (and Vista) strollers, which is why they aren’t compatible with most other stroller brands. For many families, that dedicated design is a plus—it makes setup simple and gives your travel system a clean, cohesive look.

    Still, every family’s needs (and gear collections) look a little different. If you already own an infant car seat from another brand or want more flexibility between strollers, using a non-UPPAbaby seat might make sense.

    Consider a different brand if:

    • You’re reusing an infant car seat from an older child

    • You’ve received a hand-me-down car seat

    • You own another stroller and want one car seat that works with both

    • You don’t plan to continue with UPPAbaby strollers long-term

    • You’ve found another car seat that better fits your family or lifestyle 

    How to Connect an Infant Car Seat to the UPPAbaby Cruz

    Setting up your Cruz as a travel system is simple. Most car seats click into place using the right set of adapters—and UPPAbaby models don’t need any at all. Here’s a quick guide to what you’ll need based on your car seat brand:
