For parents shopping for a stroller, it can feel like you’re having to choose between aesthetics, comfort and functionality. The Mompush Ultimate 2 stroller is a luxury stroller that offers the perfect combination of all three. Designed with a modern aesthetic and a flexible seating system and plenty of conveniences, this is a stroller for trend-conscious parents and those looking for practical, high-performance elements. Whether you’re a new parent, or just in the market for an upgrade, the Mompush Ultimate 2 will take your outings with your little one to the next level.
Ultimate 2 Stroller Overview
Mompush Ultimate 2 stroller Deanna PaiThe Ultimate 2 is a luxe stroller. When you finally manage to put it together, the first thing that will strike you is just how pretty it is, a cross between a traditional pram and modern lines in the frame. When used in bassinet mode, it has the classic lines of an old-school pram, just with a modern twist. The removable bassinet transforms the stroller into a full-sized stroller (making it ideal for when your baby grows).
When used as a full-size stroller, the Ultimate 2 can also be used facing you, or facing the world around you, and it can adjust in a matter of seconds, providing flexibility and options for your little one. It has four reclining positions so you can choose how angle your baby sits at any time. The footrest and handlebar are also adjustable for added comfort of both the parent and child.
What really distinguishes this stroller is the suspension system. Like the Mompush Lithe, the Ultimate 2 has shock-absorbing suspension, so won’t have to worry about a bumpy ride even over rough terrain. It also has 360-degree rotation of front wheels for easy moving in tight conditions.
So, what makes it stand out is the stroller’s ability to fold it small. Despite its size, the Ultimate 2 packs down into a manageable package and even stands solo when folded thanks to its aluminum and magnesium frame. This feature makes it the perfect option for families who have to store or transport their stroller regularly.
How We Rated This Stroller
In our mompush ultimate 2 stroller review we wanted to provide a thorough evaluation based on five key factors that are critical for every parent when looking for a good stroller: cost, safety, function, cleaning, and comfort. They give you a comprehensive overview of how well this stroller does in different situations.
Cost
Luxury strollers can come with eye-opening price tags, often more than $1,000. However, the Mompush Ultimate 2 offers luxury at a much more reasonable price. Though you can find more affordable strollers with independent bassinets, we see the price as being below that of other luxury strollers currently available. This positions it for a good pick for parents who desire a premium experience but don’t want to go bankrupt.
Despite the Ultimate 2 being one of the better value models compared to similar alternatives. If you’re in the market for an all-around, high-end stroller that doesn’t cost a crazy amount, the Mompush Ultimate 2 is a solid balance between price point and features.
Safety Features
Safety is the most important consideration when choosing a stroller. The Mompush Ultimate 2 stroller keeps both baby and parent safe. It has a one-touch foot brake that keeps the stroller in place to prevent rolling away when you are using it. It also features a large canopy with UPF 50+ sun protection, which is excellent for shielding your baby from harmful UV rays while out in the sun.
In stroller mode, the Ultimate 2 features a five-point harness for safety and security. As your baby grows, the harness can be adjusted to keep baby secure at every stage. There are weight limits for both the bassinet (19 pounds) and the stroller (33 pounds), so you’ll know if your child is too big to use it safely.
The stroller manual specifically says do not use the bassinet for babies who are unable to sit up independently, which would include the 4-month-old. This is an extra precaution to help ensure your baby’s head and neck are supported, especially with babies under the age of six months.
Function and Performance
Mompush Ultimate 2 Features Functionality While it isn’t marketed as a jogging stroller, the stroller does a nice job on rougher terrains. The overlarge wheels and shock-absorbing suspension smooth out bumps and uneven terrain.
The 360-degree rotating front wheels make steering the Ultimate 2 a breeze, whether it be the tightest of spaces or simply gliding down a park path. It easily transitions between the bassinet and toddler stroller modes; both seats click into place with the push of a button.
The stroller is designed to be versatile and functional, providing either rear- or forward-facing seating arrangements to complement your parenting style. The stroller also offers the option of facing your babies outward or inward, so whether your baby prefers to see you (for bonding) or look forward (to explore their surroundings) they’re covered.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning strollers can seem like a Herculean task sometimes, and babies sure create a lot of mess. Luckily, maintenance on the Mompush Ultimate 2 is fairly simple. Every plastic, metal and fabric component of the stroller is made from 100 percent polyester, all of which can easily be wiped down using a damp cloth, mild detergent and warm water.
To avoid damage, clean with mild chemicals and avoid using detergent, soap, or abrasive materials. Make sure the air-dry all parts of it before folding the stroller or using it again after wiping it down.
Folding and Portability
The Mompush Ultimate 2 stroller also features an effortless fold that reduces its size for easy storage. Thanks to its aluminum and magnesium frame, the stroller is incredibly light but its unique construction allowed us to make sure it folds down to a manageable size you can also carry.
The stroller locks when folded for stand-alone storage, a plus for parents with limited storage space. Also worth mentioning is that the stroller can fold with or without the toddler seat on the frame, which is easier for transport but you will need to take the bassinet off before putting the stroller in its compact fold.
Comfort Features
When it comes to strollers, comfort is paramount — for the child and for the parent. Where this is concerned, the Mompush Ultimate 2 doesn’t let you down. The toddler seat has four reclining positions, so your child can use it comfortably both for napping and sitting up and exploring. The adjustable foot rest maximizes comfort and provides additional support for your little one’s legs.
A telescoping handle made from faux leather adjusts to your height, ensuring comfort for short and tall caregivers alike while pushing the stroller. The all-wheel suspension keeps things smooth not only for your child, but for the parent pushing the stroller over rough ground, too.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Convertible bassinet/stroller with multiple seat positions
Heavy-duty suspension and over-sized wheels for a smoother ride
Stand-alone two-step compact fold
Simple maintenance and easy to clean
Cons:
More expensive than other strollers
Must take bassinet out to fold bassinet
Heavier than a few models, and therefore not as well-suited to single parents
Features to Love
One of the things that’s always stood out to many parents is the adjustable handlebar. I appreciate this feature as someone who is shorter since pushing the stroller is so comfortable. The fact that my husband at 6’1″ can adjust the handlebar to his height, however, is a huge plus.
Plus, the stroller’s all-wheel suspension and lightweight design make it easy to push over any terrain. Having the option to place your child rear- or forward-facing provides a degree of versatility not always available with other strollers.
Before You Buy
Things to remember before buying — Mompush Ultimate 2 stroller The manual tells you that you should not carry your child in the bassinet when it’s unlatching from the frame because it is important for safety. And though you can carry the stroller itself with one hand, the frame and bassinet are bulky and heavy when you remove the stroller from the car.
Also, the handle is thick, so feels a little uncomfortable to grip if your hand size is small, but that may not be an issue for many of you.
Final Verdict
The Mompush Ultimate 2 stroller is good for those seeking a fashionable, comfortable and versatile one. Overall, this stroller is a great value despite being on the higher end with an impressive range of features that help ensure both parent and child comfort and a stylish design. The versatility of the bassinet-to-stroller conversion and adjustable seating positions means it will adapt as your child grows, making it a functional investment. The Mompush Ultimate 2 is worth a look if you’re ready to treat yourself to a stroller that seamlessly combines function and fashion.
