Removing and adding seats/attachments is quick and easy never gets stuck. We had to deal with making a claim with the airline, then re-ordering the parts of the stroller from Uppababy directly and while they sent new frame instantly and major airlines (AKA not cheap ones those arent responsible for damages if you read the fine print) will refund you, when we got to Italy it wasnt possible to send us a new frame because Uppababy only operated in the UK in Europe. As with earlier models, the fold on this new Vista is relatively simple and quick, and can be done with or without the toddler seat attached. It can be folded with or without the seat. Not to mention both us and our friends who purchased the Cruz gave up those strollers and started calling them monster trucks, because in most places in Europe these strollers are simply too wide to even get through the door. I like that it can be an overnight sleeping situation the first couple months. For 2018, the handlebar covers on all colors have been upgraded to a high qualityreal leather. Its a tight fit but it works and clicks perfectly The great thing about the Vista is that its suitable from birth through to toddler and preschooler, but also has the capacity to adapt as your family grows. I also love the single-handed detach feature on the bassinet. I was really rooting for that one because of the sit/stand/seat feature. I flew with the stroller twice without the baby (once to bring it to Italy, then to fly to Poland for birth which is another story haha). Total length was 133 cm aprox. You can find those in most places. Yes and even elevators are a no-go in Europe. This button is very easy to unlock so your child will be able to escape (as soon as they figure it out). The only stroller that allows such configuration is Silvercross Wave, but its a giant monster in length to allow such configuration and distribute weight and as a result, its hard to push and quite wobbly. This is probably thee best review Ive ever seen for this stroller. Wish it could be expanded more. The baby jogger? There is large peekaboo window made out of dark mesh with a magnetic closure. However, the company is somehow questionable since last years weird recall of their Uppababy Knox car seat. The canopy is great! That is literally the best feature of the stroller, both of my sons slept in it until 6 months. However, most universal footmuffs with a choice of hole positions for the straps should be compatible.

Its not adjustable.

Dont worry, I will try to contain myself. I bought the stroller in the US which honestly was a super dumb move because then your warranty is in the US and Vista service or even spare parts werent available in most spots in Europe apart from the UK. Now, if you live in the city I assume you want to take walks with a child and as I explained in this post infants shouldnt be stuffed in a car seat for extended periods of time, so a bassinet is essential.

This seat is great for PREEMIES from 4 lbs+ and can accommodate a baby up to 35 lbs. Thank you so much for this review!

I spent days researching something great and getting stunned at how expensive strollers can be. Its a pricey stroller but does include most accessories. This is the shortest and the one that might fit in the elevator in my building. The fact theyre not inflatable means you dont have to worry about punctures. Quite frankly, this is why we swapped to side by side for longer trips because with a 27lbs 2-year-old and 20lbs 6-month-old pushing the not side by side is already hard, anything longer than Cybex Gazelle (which is the same length as Babyjogger) would be a nightmare for me personally and up the curb would require either another person or stopping, locking and lifting, then unlocking and continuing the trip (unless my older sits up top which he hates because cannot get in and out by himself and my kids cannot sit facing each other because the baby would get kicked in the face). One of my favourite elements of the 2018 design is the real, chemical-free leather handlebar and bumper bar (in brown or black), which add an air of sophistication (whether covered in baby vomit or not).

We love everything but I think it is noise when we ride it on the street. Thank you! Dont ever gate-check your Vista!

There is also an upgraded frame, which is powder-coated rather than carbon-coated, producing a matt appearance and making it less susceptible to scratches. uppababy vista lindsey carlin facing The serial number with barcode is displayed on a sticker on the stroller frame, situated below the left rear axle.

I am now in an annoying new search for a double stroller. Thats why Im bringing Babyzen Yoyo everywhere and we decided that now well just buy another Yoyo, because double strollers are just too much of an issue in many places. The bassinet was super handy for us.

The Vista has reasonably large wheels (8 at the front and 11.5 at the back) and strong suspension to cushion the bumps. The why is it so expensive question is one that often circulates among my mom groups. Thank you so much for your input. I dont think its normal. Then..the excitement ended pretty quickly. Just like on the seat, the sunvisor locks in place much better than before. Im not sure about Spain as I havent been back since I had my babies, but in Italy and Poland, many people leave strollers downstairs in the apartment complex because theyre not fitting into lifts.

With an RRP of just over 900 (which does include the carrycot), the Vistas cost is similar to the Bugaboo Cameleon (859), or the iCandy Orange (also just under 900). Perfect for on-the-go parents. Folded dimensions: 17.3L x 25.7W x 33H (with the seat) This latest model is compatible with the PiggyBack Board, which means it can accommodate up to three children at once. If a whole stroller frame got damaged we would have to purchase another stroller basically. As with previous models, the UPPAbaby Vista 2018 is super easy to push and manoeuvre. The canopy is made out of high quality woven fabric while the sunvisor is made out ofwrinkle-resistant material. Not to mention having to leave the baby in another aisle of the supermarket or not being able to go through check-out because its too narrow to fit my monster truck. During my research I came across Gazelle S, super liked it for its features & big tires impressed me. Alas, it's at the upper end of the price scale, but offers attainable luxury, 8/f/2/c/8f2cd068c0c5fed5ab8a7cec17c45082dfb07713_212242.jpg, Easy to manoeuvre, huge storage basket, from birth, can transform to a double buggy, large canopy on toddler seat, one hand lift off bassinet, adjustable handlebar, great craftsmanship and quality materials, Expensive, with two seats attached it is more difficult to turn and steer, Extended spf 50+ dropdown sunshade on buggy and carrycot, one-handed 4 position seat angle including full upright position, shock-absorbing front and rear suspension, Floating arch rear axle to prevent toe stubbing. I did a full review on it explaining why. The Vista 2018also features a roomy reversible seat, huge canopy with a pop-out SPF 50+ sunvisor, all-terrain tires, huge basket, adjustable handle bar, adjustable leg rest,intuitive one-step fold,deep one-hand recline, and all-wheel suspension.

Parents love its ability to grow with the family from birth to toddler years. My good friend was happy with her Vista and twins for about 1.5 years. The basket on this buggy is huge probably the biggest Ive ever come across. On the other hand, Uppababy Vista can fit other popular car seats with adapters, but truth to be told some of the adapters for Vista are incredibly giant and annoying and cant be used in a double seater option. Quite often it doesnt lock or unlock, but thats a common issue with all strollers I ever tried (and I tried a lot!) Best blog on the street for a new mum hands down! Ended up buying Gazelle S, because they threw in the bassinet for 100cad, so total price came to 800cad tax included which was super good (actual retail price is 1300cad plus taxes). Thankfully, my friend had Joolz and I wasnt impressed with the lack of storage bag once you put the second seat how low the baby was sitting (it literally bumped a sidewalk curb on the butt) and how close to your feet the lower seat was.

Many compare it with Mockingbird stroller, but even though I dont recommend Vista overall I must say that Mockingbird doesnt even come close to Vista. It comes witha matching bassinet, bumper bar, rain cover, bug cover, and bassinet bug cover. Drop me a note. But, since there is also a configuration with the second RubleSeat in the front position, you can still use the basket for grocery shopping. Of course I gave it 5 out of 5 stars because this is one of the most practical strollers that can accommodate an infant as well as atoddler. Before I had my first baby I thought stroller is a stroller, whats the big deal about it? Especially when youre pregnant with a toddler you dont want to add another heavier item and all these strollers are super easy to sell if you need to. Personally, once my first child was able to sit upright I stopped using full-size strollers and used mostly my Babyzen Yoyo. last years weird recall of their Uppababy Knox car seat.

This is where our issues with Vista started. They have bassinets too . We dont use a car or go flying though for environmental reasons, the Uppa is for us a heavy duty pram/buggy in place of a car! Did you buy in the stroller in US or Europe?

The roomy seat is12 wide and 19.5 from the back of the seat to the top of the canopy. To provide your baby with even more sun protection there is a large pop-out SPF 50+ sunvisor that has been upgraded in 2017 to a quality wrinkle-resistant material. Weight limit:50 lbs (main seat), 35 lbs (RumblerSeat) The wheels come in separate boxes but you just slide and click them on. Unlike some other double buggies, the UPPAbaby Vista offers configurations which allows both children can face outwards, so you avoid the stacking issue where one child (on the bottom) gets stuck with no view. The only option to put the newborn at the top is to keep him in a carseat, while your toddler rides the bottom seat. It comes with a bumper bar and you can purchase an extra snack tray for it as well. For instance, American Airlines only allows strollers up to 20 lbs to be gate-checked.

.

You have to buy all the accessories nothing comes with the stroller. Design of Uppababy Vista is fantastic. The stroller is of good quality, you can easily see it and the warranty is very extended. As a double its harder to control and is a little more cumbersome in tight spaces. I really like the water-repellent inner liner that keeps the space dry and comfortable because lets face it, these little cuties throw up and spill things all the time! Every American TV series and movie with babies features Uppababy Vista (youll notice it super quickly once you know the design). I found the stroller a little cumbersome to carry once folded down, but the automatic lock and self-stand is very handy.

The included base also worked great! The canopy can cover the whole baby, made of UPF 50+ material, its easily foldable and most importantly it doesnt get onto the childs head (which is a common issue with many competing strollers). Hello when does this new model come out?? Harriet also seemed very happy and slept well in the bassinet. Thanks. Did you fly with it while pregnant and no baby yet? The foot rest is also adjustable. Uppababy bassinet had zip-able breathable mesh parts which was fantastic during the summer. My oldest is almost 11 but Ive got a 3yr old and a 6month old.. when I was pregnant with the baby we looked into double strollers. The stroller folds into one piece with the bassinet, carseat or seat, but the footrest of the seat isnt strong enough to hold a simple pull or side hit. Do not understand why so many families have thus. Your email address will not be published. My mother in law has offered to buy us whatever stroller we want but some are so expensive I feel like I cant even consider it. I dont think the best stroller exists, as everyone has different needs and lifestyles when the baby comes. You can easily fit two large diaper bags in to it.

The canopy on Uppababy Mesa was way too small.

That contours one is nice!

For 2018 it got a little longer and is now 30.2 in length. The trow ups are the worst. It made my baby sweaty non-stop! The toddler seat be front or rear-facing which proved to be very hand and it has the capacity to hold a kid up to 50 lbs which is a lot!

However, the fact you can accommodate a second and even third child (with an additional board), and that it is compatible with car seats so transforms into a travel system, the Vista truly grows with the family and is the only stroller youll ever need.

get the cruz instead, it doesnt come with the bassinet. The seat, minus the footrest as I mentioned above, is sturdy and the canopy is unbeatable. The Vista can be transformed into a travel system by usingUPPAbaby Mesa car seat (sold separately) that attaches directly to the frame. He wants to be able to get in and out of the stroller freely and isnt happy when facing me instead of looking around, so Id lose the ability to ever have a younger sibling facing me and end up with an unhappy toddler. If youre looking for strict travel tips on advice on living abroad, check out my other blog. I am almost done with my first trimester with my first, and I am starting to research strollers. Also, as this is probably the only stroller youll ever need, with its various different formations, Id say it is good value. Im a Polish-born citizen of the world. Literally, one click and ta-da! It goes from: 1) the bassinet mode 2)to a travel system mode 3) to a single stroller mode and finally 4) to a double mode with an addition of a second seat. My toddler weighs about 27lbs and is 3yrs old. Downside on the first configuration is I dont like the idea of having a toddler facing the bassinet with almost no visibility. The included toddler seat is designed for infants from three months up. I remember walking around Boston and literally every single mom with a baby had this stroller (and 90% of them the green Emmett version).

The handlebar is amazing! Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Regarding Contours Elite v2 its a good one, but it is LONG (in order to fit the bassinet), which makes the steering more complex and putting it up the curb.

The INCLUDED matching bassinet plugs right in to the frame instead of the seat. It includes a matching bassinet, bumper bar, rain cover, bug cover, and bassinet bug cover. Since the tires are solid, you will never get a flat while still getting thecushioned ride.

It felt very secure and was easy to use, although on occasion it tended to get stuck and I had to press down a couple of times or give the buggy a jiggle to help unlock it. so complaining about it would be unfair. Just like on the main seat it has large pop-out SPF 50+ sunvisor and dark mesh peekaboo window with magnetic closure. Im under 5 ft and cant imagine lugging that thing up and down through subway stairs downtown Toronto or maneuvering through tight crowded streetcars. Despite the updates the weight stayed the same at26 lbs. We didnt want to deal with any car seat adapters, so we also got the Uppababy Mesa carseat.

Baby Jogger City Mini GT 2 2019 Stroller Review, NEW! Total came down to $1280 not cheap. Its worth mentioning, that there is no chemicals used in tanning process of the leather and that its REACH certified meeting EU requirements for chemical testing. The harness is highly adjustable to fit the kiddo comfortably. That, on top of the weight issues with the seats (keep reading). The configurations are prefect. We were riding with a broken footrest for a while until we went back to the US to pick it up. You can convert it into a travel system by getting an UPPAbaby Mesa infant car seat.

There are some basic pictorial instructions on the box and then more extensive diagrams and information in the included booklet, all of which are great very straightforward to follow. I know, I really wanted sit and stand feature too :/ Do you think this is still a good option for that? I was able to find a better expandable tandem stroller after all Cybex Gazelle S. With this stroller theres actually no need for the bassinet because Cybex Cloud Q car seat reclines flat, so it does no harm to the baby. Hi Silvia, Yes, with the carrycot or infant car seat, the UPPAbaby Vista is perfect for use from birth. See the photo below to see what I mean, but babys but will always be down and legs up when reclined. You can collapse the Vista with or without the toddler seat attached. It rolls on four all-terrain solid polyurethanewheels with 11.5 wheels in the back and 8 wheels in the front. Basically skipping infant car seats. The rear wheels were upgraded last year to polyurethane ones, which are lighter and slimmer, making the stroller 1.5 lbs lighter and 1 narrower. The cool thing about this bassinet is that its deep enough for you to use at home for overnight sleeping.

Until i had the baby and realized how much it wasnt going to work out. The second fault was the material of which the seat was made (I had a model thats no longer for sale and it was polyester). But, you can slide the canopy up the frame to get 2 more inches making it 21.5. Not to mention car seat comparability since I didnt know that our Uppababy car seat was illegal in Europe (and the fact that Europe has MUCH better car seats). This is the perfect stroller for parents with multiple children, especially if they are quite close in age. You can read our UPPAbaby Vista V2 review here, or purchase it from Mamas & Papas, John Lewis and Baby Centre. Designed to grow with the family, UPPAbaby Vista is versatile, as it can convert from a single to double buggy with adaptors. I cant believe its so difficult and stressful to find a stroller. When I was looking into strollers 2 years ago, I didnt consider a stroller without one. Also a boy mom, cat mom, wife, and full-time entrepreneur. Keeping a newborn in a car seat is bad for him thats one thing, and second if you have a bigger or fatter toddler youre also screwed with this configuration, because. It has a place for a coffee cup, water bottle, your wallet, keys, phone and more. Its easy to push over all types of surfaces!! While its not as bump-free as with a running buggy, its certainly better than most other strollers Ive tried. I still have the packaged Chicco Bravo Travel System (returnable), wondering if I should sell Gazelle to keep Bravo, I paid only 500cad tax included for Bravo during sale. Bugaboo, Babyzen, Stokke, Cybex, Nuna. This really helps. Thank you! I am absolutely in LOVVVVE with this bassinet. Once I started researching I quickly learned that theres much more to finding a perfect stroller. If youre planning just one kid then you might as well get the Cruz and buy an extra Uppababy Bassinet separately it will save you about $150ish. We were keen to use the UPPAbaby Vista as a double stroller, but it wasnt clear from the outset that you needed to purchase separate adaptors. Finally, walking up and down stairs was a hell indeed. If youre using adaptors, then the bottom ones are a little fiddly the first time you use them, but easy thereafter (or like me, you can just leave them attached).

The seat youre allowed to have on the bottom part is called a Rumble Seat. P.S. Ill write a full Cloud Q review (it is an amazing car seat for style, safety and comfort, although wont lie it is heavy) and worked great when temperatures were mild (spring time). I recently purchased the Uppababy Cruz and within a month a part broke. Examples include own brand footmuffs from Mamas & Papas and John Lewis, as well as Woolibaloo, Cosy Toes and Clare De lune.

This is impossible to fit as the elevator is 124 cm long. This was ok for short trips but for longer ones Id prefer to have Harriet closer to me. Read more HERE! That said, it depends. Now, full disclosure obviously you cannot plan on when your second child will be born exactly (I tried haha, got a year pushback :P) but at the moment its over 100F here daily and theres no way Im rolling with the baby in a car seat because the poor guy would melt, so this is why we use ZOE the most.

Uppababy Cruz is cheaper for a reason.

And as parents of young kids, we sure all need things to make life easier! You can read why it matters so much in another post I researched a lot. I wasnt able to lift the stroller myself once the baby was over 6 months, I had to back up which wasnt always possible and sometimes there was no one around to help. Frankly, in his case the bassinet wouldnt have worked at all, because he was refusing to lie down past 3 months (he wanted to sit) and was a huge baby so any bassinet was way too small for him On the other hand, my good friend had a small child that was completely fine lying down and she used it up to like 8 months. I had no idea what went into getting and using a stroller! Nonoisy Velcro! UPPAbaby VISTA doesnt require any adapters for MESA infant car seat. Many parents get very upset when they realize they need to spend more money on the adapters. During pregnancy we were moving from the US to Italy, so we had an excellent opportunity to pick something on either continents, but everywhere I searched for online there was one stroller that was always coming up as the most recommended one: Uppababy Vista. As city dwellers, we truly put the UPPAbaby Vista to the urban test. 2) planning to have 2 kids with 2 yrs age gap, I see the cybex gazelle s is your stroller of choice a) do you recommend using the fully reclinabile car seat rather than buying a bassinet for newborn? Its available onAmazon(free shipping), as well asPishPoshBaby (free shipping). While in a bassinet you baby lies flat, the seat is profiled despite its 6 recline positions. I usually buy all of thebaby itemson Amazon since it has not only a free shipping, but alsoFREE RETURNSon many items including strollers unlike most of the other sites that will charge you for the return. The inner liner and boot cover are easy to remove as well. Im at shock with the incompetent customer service Ive received here in Australia.

Below Ill tell you what I loved about this and what I hated very unfiltered review! Switching between the different seat configurations is very easy once youve done it a couple of times.

SnuggleBugz came out with their as-is sale where we found Gazelle S and UB Cruz listed for 750cad, which was quite a steal. IMPORTANT: Its worth mentioning that some seat combinations require additional adapters.

Again, depends on the age of the size of the child because some can still squeeze into the infant seat at 15m, but both of my kids were out of infant seats around 7 months (and even this is a stretch if a baby is on a chunkier side like my second). I have uppababy vista Jake with Dennison rumble seat. The Vista 2019 comes in 12 colors and retailsfor around $899 depending on the color. The fact that its the only stroller youll ever need makes the price point more palatable. While removing the wheels is an easy process, if its rainy, snowy or muddy outside its not something you want to do every single time. Moms Stroller Reviews is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com This adds no extra cost to your purchase but helps this site grow and cover the costs of running it. Well yes and no. It also features a peek-a-boo window you can close. $200 (and thats when they broke it). Its a little expensive, but is an amazing car seat. For 2019 there has been no changes just new colors. I regularly take Harriet through the park, into shopping arcades and on buses and the tube. You can also lock the front wheels for additional stability when pushing over rocky ground. To do this, I had to use the car seat on the top adaptors and then Harvey was in the toddler seat facing forward at the bottom.

Its wonderful stroller like I mentioned before I just wish it was cheaper. The seat is reversible so your child can look at you or the world. b) Yes, the car seat can be fully reclined, you just need to put it on the stroller first before the toddler seat or push the sunshade of it down (I really need to do a video because its a common question). I am a big Mesa car seat fan! Almost all lifts or worse even doors in Italy, Poland, Malta, Slovenia wouldnt even fit a single configuration Uppababy and after I had to remove the baby, seat and fold the stroller to fit at a few places (including the pediatricians office once) I decided Im never doing it again and only bringing double out in the US or Mexico. The one-step brake located on the right wheel. It comes with a bunch of accessories like bug net, rain cover, bumper bar, matching bassinet, and bassinet bug net. The stroller is quite heavy. Uppababy Vista folds super easily. I havent decided at this point if I want to get a double stroller But if I just want to go with a single one, but still like the idea of good maneuverability and bassinet option- would you say Cruz would be good? I have the bugaboo cameleon (got it for my first, now using it with my 6 month old) and I can not imagine why you wouldnt get the bassinet! You might think why would I have to lift the stroller? at first, but trust me on many occasions, especially in Europe. Then from Italy to Poland I didnt get charged for the special luggage fee as the check-in guy was having a nice day and said its obvious youre about to have a baby so he let us go.

If you buy the non-toxic merino wool model you wont have that issue. But now that were back in the US, I am fully in love again. The UPPAbaby Vista is one of the MOST popular strollers on todays market.

Especially since it could convert back to single once your toddler is done with a stroller or for very short trips that he/she could just walk. The 2018 Vista truly grows with your family.

You also wont be able to see the lower bassinet unless the sunshade is down.

Since you live in Italy, did u ever used the Gazelle S in double mode and taking small European elevators?

Maclaren Quest Arc 2019 Stroller Review, NEW!

Its simply because Uppababy has been around for a while and also because many parents buy it for one kid planning for the future and then they realize they need a different one, because the older kid doesnt fit in the seat weight-wise anymore. The Rumble Seat is smaller, more narrow and has a weight capacity up to 35 lbs (not 50 lbs like the Toddler Seat). One cool thing about the canopy is that it can slidesup and down the frame to accommodate an older or younger child. The handlebar on the UPPAbaby Vista 2018 has an adjustable height (up to 112cm), making it comfortable to push, however tall (or short) you are. Such an interesting read my cousin was just looking at this stroller so sending her way! Handle bar height:39.5 42.5 Dont get me wrong Uppababy Vista is NOT a bad stroller, but I definitely dont recommend it as a double (unless you have twins) and to me it was incredibly impractical.

Another friend was unhappy with the Vista and twins because of the bassinet setup. This is an all-terrain stroller that will handle a lot of different terrains like grass, gravel or uneven pavement.

Baby Jogger City Mini Tour 2 2019 Stroller Review, NEW! Were expats too.

Thank you so much for this review and in advance for your help! UPPAbaby is a Boston-based company, founded by a married couple with three kids. I think the vista is incredibly expensive and overrated.

), Hi Angeliki. Nevertheless, dont make my mistake and dont get an unnecessarily big stroller before the second one is born and you know the character of the toddler (mine wouldnt sit on top and wants in and out, but friends kid has no issue sitting up top for example or mine loves sitting next to the baby but another friends toddler keeps throwing things at the baby nonstop if theyre sitting next to each other).
