The Mompush Ultimate 2 gives you most of what a premium full-size stroller offers for $429.99: a flat bassinet, a reversible seat, a UPF 50+ canopy, a standing one-step fold and a car seat adapter in the box. Babylist owners rate it 4.7 out of 5 from 168 reviews. The compromises are a 10 lb basket, small 4.5 in front wheels and a single-child frame. For a first baby on city sidewalks and a careful budget, it is very good value.
Who is the Mompush Ultimate 2 for?
The Mompush Ultimate 2 is for parents who want the full-size, bassinet-from-birth setup of a premium stroller without the premium price. Babylist and Target list the Stroller & Bassinet version at $429.99, and the box includes the bassinet, a reversible toddler seat, a car seat adapter, a rain cover and a foot cover. Babylist owners rate it 4.7 out of 5 from 168 reviews, praising the smooth ride and the long list of included extras. It is a single stroller. Mompush says on Target that it cannot carry two children, even with adapters, so families planning a close second child should look at a single-to-double. It also suits pavement more than trails, because the wheels are fairly small.
How does the Ultimate 2 ride and steer?
The Mompush Ultimate 2 has four swivel wheels with all-wheel suspension and a one-touch foot brake. Target lists EVA tires, 4.5 in at the front and 7.5 in at the rear, and calls them puncture resistant. That is a smaller wheel than most premium full-size strollers use. Babylist's summary of owner reviews says parents find it smooth and easy to steer. On sidewalks, in malls and on park paths it should handle well. Small foam-type wheels tend to feel every bump on gravel and grass, so if your daily walk is rough, consider a stroller with bigger rubber or air tires. Mompush's frame is 23.2 in wide, which fits most doorways.

How big is the Ultimate 2 when folded?
Target and Babylist both list the Mompush Ultimate 2 at 24.9 lb with the toddler seat and 27.5 lb with the bassinet. Folded with the seat, Target gives 15.4 x 23.6 x 34.1 in, while Babylist's listing gives 15.4 x 25.6 x 35.4 in. Both say it folds in one step and stands on its own, with or without the seat attached. That makes it easier to store upright in a hallway. It will fit most trunks, though the bassinet travels separately. It is not an airline carry-on stroller, so plan to gate-check it. If you will keep it in a small car, measure the trunk against the folded size first.
Is the Ultimate 2 comfortable and safe?
The Mompush Ultimate 2 comes with a bassinet and mattress, so a newborn can lie fully flat from day one. The toddler seat is reversible, faces you or the world, and has a one-handed full recline with an adjustable leg rest, according to Babylist. Target lists a suggested age of 0 to 36 months and a 50 lb capacity. The zip-out canopy is UPF 50+ with side vents and a peekaboo window. A 5-point harness, harness covers and a bumper bar are included. Babylist's summary notes that some owners find the seat back short for tall toddlers. Target says it is JPMA Certified and meets ASTM standards.
How much storage does the Ultimate 2 have?
Storage is where the Mompush Ultimate 2 saves money. Mompush's answer on Target puts the basket limit at 10 lb, and the cup holder at 1.1 lb. That is enough for a diaper bag and a jacket, but not a big grocery run. Babylist's owner summary still mentions roomy storage, so the space is usable, just not rated for heavy loads. Premium full-size strollers often allow 25 to 30 lb.

What do you get for $429.99?
Much of the appeal of the Mompush Ultimate 2 is what comes in the box. Babylist lists the bassinet with mattress, the frame and basket, the reversible seat with canopy, a seat liner, a bumper bar, harness covers, a rain cover, a foot cover, a cup holder and a car seat adapter. On many premium strollers the bassinet, rain cover, cup holder and adapters cost extra. Mompush's answers on Target name compatible infant car seats from Maxi-Cosi, Nuna and Cybex. Babylist lists a 4-year manufacturer's warranty, while Target lists a 2-year limited warranty, so check the terms when you buy. For a first baby, this one box covers the newborn, infant and toddler stages without add-ons.

Mompush Ultimate 2 FAQ
Is the Mompush Ultimate 2 worth it?
For one child and mostly paved walks, yes. Babylist and Target list it at $429.99 with a bassinet, car seat adapter, rain cover and foot cover. It weighs 24.9 lb with the seat. The weak spots are a 10 lb basket limit and small 4.5 in front wheels.
Can a newborn use the Mompush Ultimate 2?
Yes. The included bassinet lies fully flat, according to Target, so a newborn can ride from birth. You can also click in an infant car seat with the included adapter; Mompush names Maxi-Cosi Mico, Nuna PIPA and Cybex Aton models. The toddler seat is reversible and has a full recline.
Can the Mompush Ultimate 2 carry two children?
No. Mompush says in its answers on Target that the frame is built for one child and cannot carry two, even with adapters. If you expect a second baby soon, look at a single-to-double stroller such as the Joovy Qool or the Mockingbird Single-to-Double 3.0 instead.

Target lists 15.4 x 23.6 x 34.1 in with the seat attached, and Babylist lists 15.4 x 25.6 x 35.4 in. It folds in one step and stands on its own, with or without the seat. It weighs 24.9 lb with the seat, and it is not a carry-on stroller.
