At Kido Bébé, our Montreal team has tested the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 in person — here’s everything Canadian parents need to know before buying. This UPPAbaby Ridge V2 review is for parents who want a performance stroller that handles real terrain year-round, whether that means cracked city sidewalks, park trails, or early-morning runs. The Ridge V2 is the current generation of UPPAbaby’s all-terrain jogging stroller, available now at Kido Bébé in Montreal, and meets Transport Canada safety requirements. We cover everything from car seat compatibility to Canadian winter use so you can make a confident decision.
What the Ridge V2 Is Built For
The UPPAbaby Ridge stroller is engineered for walking, running, trail, and all-terrain use. Whether it’s a slow stroll or a 10k sprint, the Ridge V2 moves with you from day one to every mile after. This is a stroller for the long haul, not only for training days. The Ridge V2 is also GREENGUARD® Gold Certified for healthier air quality and low chemical emissions, a meaningful standard for a product your child spends hours in every week.
The UPPAbaby Ridge Stroller Is Not Just for Runners
One reason the UPPAbaby Ridge stroller stands out as the best jogging stroller in Canada for 2026 is that it does not require a running habit. Large foam-filled tires, a reliable suspension system, and a responsive hand brake handle mixed urban surfaces and gravel trails with equal ease. A lockable front wheel ensures straight tracking at speed, a five-point harness keeps children secure on bumpy stretches, and all strollers in the Kido Bébé jogging stroller collection meet Canadian safety standards.
Performance Features That Set It Apart
The Ridge V2’s design is built around practical control on varied terrain. The swivel-locking front wheel shifts from easy maneuvering during walks to locked-straight stability at running pace. A wrist strap is included as a safety measure to prevent the stroller from getting away on downhill stretches. The hand brake provides extra control on slopes, and the suspension absorbs the surface variation that Canadian parks and mixed-use paths deliver across all four seasons. Every feature is purposeful rather than decorative.
Using the Ridge V2 From Birth
The Ridge V2 is compatible from birth with the UPPAbaby Bassinet, Aria™, and Mesa® infant car seats using adapters sold separately at Kido Bébé. A second adapter, also at Kido Bébé, supports select Maxi-Cosi®, Nuna®, Cybex, BeSafe®, and Joie™ seats. Both sets include colour-coded indicators and fold with the stroller still attached. Walking from birth with a compatible seat is appropriate. Running should wait until the child is at least 6 months old with strong head and neck control.
Car Seat Compatibility at Kido Bébé
For parents building a jogging stroller with an infant car seat in Canada, Kido Bébé carries both adapter sets for the Ridge V2. The UPPAbaby Aria V2 infant car seat is compatible with the Ridge via the dedicated adapter. For parents who already own a Nuna or Cybex seat, the second adapter supports those brands so you can connect the car seat you already have. Both adapter sets are available at Kido Bébé’s Montreal boutique and through Kido Bébé’s website.
Why GREENGUARD® Gold Certification Matters
The Ridge V2 is the current generation of UPPAbaby’s all-terrain jogging stroller, available at Kido Bébé in Montreal alongside the original Ridge. The clearest distinction is the V2’s GREENGUARD® Gold Certification for healthier air quality and low chemical emissions. For parents weighing whether the upgrade is worth it, both models are stocked at Kido Bébé, making a side-by-side comparison at the Montreal boutique the most practical way to assess the difference before deciding.
Year-Round Use in Canadian Conditions
Canadian parents searching for the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 in Canada often ask whether it handles year-round conditions. The large foam-filled tires and reliable suspension address the surface variety that local trails, parks, and sidewalks present across seasons. The wrist strap and lockable front wheel support control on uneven terrain. The Sun and Bug Shield for Ridge, available separately at Kido Bébé, adds a front roll-down panel with UPF 50+ protection and reflective details for low-light outings.
Ridge V2 vs. Thule Urban Glide 3
Both the UPPAbaby Ridge V2 and the Thule Urban Glide 3 are stocked at Kido Bébé, and both offer infant car seat compatibility via adapters sold separately. The Thule Urban Glide 3 suits urban parents who prioritise manoeuvrability and compact folding. The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 combines advanced suspension and brake control for mixed-terrain performance and all-day strolling versatility. The best way to choose is to push both at Kido Bébé’s Montreal boutique before committing.

Growing Your Family with the Ridge V2
The Ridge V2 is designed to grow with your family beyond the infant stage. The seat accommodates children up to 55 lbs, offering years of use beyond the bassinet and car seat phase. For families with an older child, the Ridge V2 is compatible with the PiggyBack® ride-along board accessory, allowing a toddler to join the ride. This makes the Ridge a long-term solution for active families who want one stroller through multiple stages.
Is the Ridge V2 Worth It?
This UPPAbaby Ridge V2 review reaches a clear conclusion for active Canadian parents: the UPPAbaby Ridge stroller handles daily walks, trails, and runs without compromise. The GREENGUARD® Gold Certification adds peace of mind on air quality. The full car seat adapter ecosystem is available in one place at Kido Bébé, making a from-birth travel system straightforward to build. For parents who prioritise compact folding above all else, the Thule Urban Glide 3 is the natural alternative to compare in person.
Our Verdict on the UPPAbaby Ridge V2
The UPPAbaby Ridge V2 is the right stroller for active Canadian parents who want one premium all-terrain option that works for daily neighbourhood walks, trail outings, and running without requiring a separate purchase for each use case. It is also a strong choice for parents who want a from-birth travel system, given the full car seat adapter ecosystem available at Kido Bébé. If you move with purpose and want a stroller that keeps up, the Ridge V2 delivers.
