4.1 User Rating 94 customer ratings

Side-by-side double rated from 3 months to 55 lb per seat, 28.5 in wide to fit standard doorways, with independent one-handed reclines, pop-out UPF 50+ sunshades, a 10 lb basket and a no-foot fold with carry handle. The 22.3-lb frame gains push effort as riders grow, per independent reviews.

Our Take

The G-Link V2 is the lightweight end of the side-by-side double market: two full seats, each rated from 3 months to 55 lb and 45 in, in a 22.3 lb frame that clears standard doorways at 28.5 in wide. The fold is a two-step, no-foot-action motion that ends with a carry handle in hand — but unlike the original G-Link, the V2 no longer stands on its own once folded, and nothing in UPPAbaby's current sources documents a car seat or bassinet route, so this is a toddler-and-up stroller rather than a growing-family system.

The purchase question is push effort. Four wheels instead of the six used by most double umbrellas save weight at the cost of rolling resistance, and the independent review record is consistent that steering and pushing get noticeably harder as two older children ride; it also reports that brake complaints from the original model carried into reviews of this one, so check the brake action hands-on. The kit is solid — independent one-handed reclines, pop-out UPF 50+ sunshades, a 10 lb basket, and an included cup holder — and as a city-and-travel double for lighter riders it does its weight class well.

What we like

Two independent one-handed reclines and extendable pop-out UPF 50+ sunshades — nap-time flexibility doubles strollers often drop
22.3 lb frame with a no-foot fold, carry handle and a doorway-friendly 28.5 in width
55 lb and 45 in ceilings per seat keep older children riding
Dishwasher-safe cup holder, canopy pockets and a 10 lb basket included; JPMA certified

Worth knowing

Push and steering effort climbs with rider weight — the most consistent finding across independent reviews of this model
No documented car seat or bassinet route: not usable from birth
No longer stands on its own when folded, unlike the first-generation G-Link
Brake-related complaints reported for the original model were found to persist in independent reviews

Best for

Caregivers of two children from 3 months up who prioritize a light, narrow double for errands, trips and stairs and mostly stroll shorter city distances with younger or lighter riders.

Consider another option if

Both riders are near the weight ceiling, longer or rougher walks are routine, or you want one stroller that accepts an infant car seat or bassinet — this model documents no such route.

Professional review findings

Lucie's List: Finds the stroller notably lighter and narrower than the original and easy to fit through doorways, praises the independent reclines and canopies, but reports that push effort climbs with rider weight — calling maneuverability the model's biggest complaint — and notes the folded self-stand of the original was removed and brake-jamming complaints from the original reportedly persist.

Check before buying

Whether your children's combined weight and your walking surfaces still feel manageable — the independent reviews we checked single out push effort with older kids as the deal-breaker.
Two children, each at least 3 months old and not over 55 lb or 45 in per seat. The manufacturer's current adapter catalog lists no infant-car-seat adapter for this stroller, and the 2026 US+CA spec sheet carries no from-birth or adapter row for it.
Sources disagree about Recline positions — confirm the current figure with the retailer before buying.
Amazon listing title markets a 'One-Step Fold' while the manufacturer's current spec sheet lists this fold as Two-Step — confirm the current figure with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.

Helpful Questions

Can a newborn ride in the G-Link V2?

No. Each seat is suitable only from 3 months, and no bassinet, carrycot or infant-car-seat adapter route is documented for this stroller in the current manufacturer sources.

How much can the basket and pockets hold?

The under-seat basket is rated to 10 lb, each canopy storage pocket to 2 lb, and the cup holder to 1.5 lb, with a 127 lb total recommended load for the whole stroller; all published by UPPAbaby.

Does it fit through standard doorways?

Yes. At 28.5 inches wide, UPPAbaby describes it as roomy for two children side-by-side while staying slender enough for standard doorways and tight sidewalks.

Does it fold on its own or stand up folded?

The fold is a simple two-step sequence that needs no foot action, and a carry handle makes it easy to shoulder once folded. The manufacturer does not claim it stands on its own when folded, and independent reviewers note the original model's self-stand was removed.
