Uppababy Vista

Moms are very savvy, especially when it comes to their children and what they buy for them. Here are what a few moms had to share about their Uppababy Vista.

You can read them below or click this link to review it at Amazon.com. Here’s what they had to say:

Great product – bought the 2009 Vista 3 weeks ago.

Pros:
-Good sturdy stroller.
-Great for “short / tall” couples (it has the easiest handlebar adjustment)
-bassinet and seat are totally separate pieces
-Can fold WITH the seat (in fwd position)
-Rear axle is an arch so it is “no-kick” – great if have long stride
-Includes rain cover and bug cover for seat
-Sun shade incorporated into canopy
-Folds pretty thin
-Stands up folded
-Its a handlebar stroller – so can steer with one hand.

Cons:
-Will need a second stroller for subway / airplne when our daughter is able to sit up
-No rain cover for bassinet. (we got the Maxi Cosi car seat cover – works great
-cupholder is outside the frame. (we got the carry you torino to hold water bottles)

Great stroller for the urban jungle

I generally do not leave product reviews, but I felt that it was important to write a review for this stroller. Here’s why: I live in a big city, with enough rain, and plenty of uneven side walks/hills. This stroller is definitely for babies in the urban jungle. If I lived out in the “burbs,” I would not have purchased this stroller.

Pros:
-Comes with a bassinet and a seat that can be reclined (#3 position) for a newborn.
The basket is large (fits ~2-3 large paper grocery bags), and is spring loaded so that you can easily access it when using the bassinet. Although if you are planning on going grocery shopping, I recommend using the seat and not the bassinet. The basket is much easier to access when using the seat attachment.
-Comes complete with a rain cover and sunshades/mosquito netting. The rain cover is very well designed. It has a peekaboo window for light rain. The other day, I had to walk home for 15 minuted in the pouring rain. My baby was 100% dry under the rain cover. My bags in the stroller basket were only slightly damp. I was able to stay dry since the stroller can be easily maneuvered with one hand (even on uneven pavement) when you’re holding an umbrella with the other hand.
-The canopy is large and is very easy to attach or remove. The peekaboo window on the canopy is also large.
-The wheels are large and the stroller handles very well on uneven/bumpy side walks/light rail tracks. As I previously mentioned, it can be easily pushed with one hand.
-The break works very well, even on hilly terrain.
-The 5 point harness on the seat is very easy to adjust.
-The handle bar can be opened only on one side to take the child out of the stroller, so you do not need to removed the handle bar completely.

Cons:
-This stroller is heavier than my Baby Jogger City Mini. I am able to carry both the bassinet or seat plus the stroller frame and the baby, but the everything put together weighs over 30 lbs. So, unless your building has an elevator or you live on the first or second floor, I would not recommend purchasing this stroller if you’re going to lug it 5 flights of stairs every single time.
-There’s no rain cover for the bassinet. If it’s raining, I have to use the seat attachment. There’s nothing wrong with using the seat attachment, but it would have been nice to have the option of using the bassinet if the weather forecast predicts rain.
-The stroller frame can only be folded with two hands. This mean that it I want to take the bus or the light rail, I have to detach the seat or the bassinet first, put in on the ground, then fold the frame with both hands. If I’m traveling with another person, then it’s not a big deal; but when you’re going somewhere by yourself with the baby, the two hand fold can become an issue. The stroller can be unfolded using only one hand.
I guess that this would be the issue with many other strollers as well.

Amazing and beautiful stroller!

This is a fantastic stroller, definitely worth every penny, as it is a bang for your buck. For the full price you not only get the frame and a stroller seat, but the bassinet with its own mosquito and wind cover, along with those for the stroller seat. It is a great buy and one of the top ranked strollers for its versatility, quality and durability. I have used it about 5 times a week for the past 3 months after tossing my old Chicco Cortina stroller. It was fine,but so bulky, and not very good on maneuvering as this one is… plus it looks much nicer then the Chicco

Overall the design, weight, and price is what is so attractive about this stroller. I love it! One note of caution however, DO NOT buy the cup holder accessory, you can check out my review on amazon for that. Trust me! Other then that this is the best luxury brand stroller you can get for the money. Other strollers you have to buy each part separately this one comes with everything! Also the best basket on a stroller hands down, when you’re shopping you’ll appreciate how large it is. It folds up like a dream and the car adapter is a life saver in the winter when you don’t want to take out your kid in the cold into the stroller seat or bassinet.
Definitely highly recommended, especially when I see the pitfalls of the other strollers from other mom’s.

Uppababy Vista Accessories

The Uppababy Vista is pretty amazing, and versatile, but you can make it even better with select accessories to accommodate for overly windy or sunny days, food trays, bottle holders, chilly or rainy weather or adapters for PegPerego and Graco carseats.
