You might think “why would I have to lift the stroller?” at first, but trust me – on many occasions, especially in Europe. While it’s easy and smooth to push it around and you don’t feel the weight, once you have to lift the stroller it’s a pain in the butt for just one child. Uppababy Vista is 27 lbs with just one seat (a bit more with a bassinet). This is where our issues with Vista started. If you’re 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. I was able to see and try them both side by side as close friends had the Cruz when we had the Vista. Unless you’re going on very muddy mountain hikes you really don’t need the giant Vista back wheels – they’re more of a pain in the butt in reality (read more in weight & size). Vista is meant to hold one more kid and the back wheels are bigger because of that, but otherwise, they look pretty comparable. It can only fit one child (no expansion option) and doesn’t come with a bassinet like Vista does. Below I’ll tell you what I loved about this and what I hated – a very unfiltered review! We barely used our Vista anymore and once I realized that buying Uppababy Vista as a double stroller was an even bigger mistake I sold it fairly quickly.ĭon’t get me wrong – Uppababy Vista is NOT a bad stroller, but I definitely don’t recommend it as a double (unless you have twins) and to me, it was incredibly impractical. You can read why it matters so much in another post I researched a lot.īoth myself and my husband were originally very happy with our Uppababy Vista stroller, but within 3 months I became incredibly annoyed with this stroller and my husband gave up on it after 5 months. It’s great news because US baby products are loaded with these toxic chemicals unnecessarily. One note about Uppababy car seats – especially Uppababy Mesa (models Henry & Jordan), thanks to its innovative use of Merino wool, are the first car seats to pass federal safety standards without the use of toxic flame retardants. They recalled it just after a month very quietly not to lose any reputation (now it’s back again redesigned). However, the company is somehow questionable since last year’s weird recall of their Uppababy Knox car seat. I also used their customer service three times and I must say it’s flawless within the US. The stroller is of good quality, you can easily see it and the warranty is very extended. Many compare it with Mockingbird stroller, but even though I don’t recommend Vista overall I must say that Mockingbird doesn’t even come close to Vista. Uppababy Vista is a luxury stroller and comes with various accessories – baby bassinet for a newborn (something Americans aren’t fully getting as most keep their babies in car seats during newborn stages, which is pretty bad for the baby – and wouldn’t fly in Europe), rain covers and bug nets for the bassinet and seat. We didn’t want to deal with any car seat adapters, so we also got the Uppababy Mesa carseat. Not surprisingly, every new mom is thinking: this must be the best travel stroller on the market. I remember walking around Boston and literally every single mom with a baby had this stroller (and 90% of them had the green Emmett version). Every American TV series and movie with babies features Uppababy Vista (you’ll notice it super quickly once you know the design). Once I got into stroller research I noticed that in the US most people have Uppababy strollers (vs in Europe it’s Bugaboo and Babyzen Yoyo). I spent days researching something great and getting stunned at how expensive strollers can be.ĭuring 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. Before I had my first baby I thought stroller is a stroller, what’s the big deal about it? Once I started researching I quickly learned that there’s much more to finding a perfect stroller.
