Ride of the Week: UPPAbaby Ridge!

It’s Ride of the Week time! This week we will explore the UPPAbaby Ridge and its features in greater detail!

UPPAbaby Ridge standing and foldedThe UPPAbaby Ridge is a jogging and all-terrain stroller designed for adventure! The Ridge goes the extra mile with features like responsive suspension, a disc brake system and a one-handed fold. And unlike other jogging strollers, the tires on the Ridge never need to be pumped up when you're on the go! Made by Kenda, a manufacturer of car tires, the rubber wheels on the Ridge are filled with EVA foam that provides durability and shock absorption without the need for inflation.

Inspired by high-performance mountain bikes, the Ridge uses a disc brake system that’s more responsive than the drum brakes seen on most strollers. Use the hand brake when slowing down or going downhill, and apply the parking brake when you’re ready to stop.

The Ridge also offers everyday uses beyond running: Take your newborn on a walk by attaching an infant car seat or bassinet with adapters sold separately, or let your older toddler join your walk by standing on the Ridge Piggyback ride-along board! The Ridge may be the perfect stroller for you if you live in an area with a lot of uneven roads or lead an active lifestyle.
