UPPAbaby Vista V2
🏆 Best OverallThe UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a full-size convertible stroller that accommodates a bassinet for newborns and can be configured to hold a second seat for a growing family. It features an extendable sun canopy, a one-hand recline mechanism, and compatibility with the Mesa car seat.

- High-quality construction and design
- Spacious storage basket for essentials
Cons (−)

Why parents like it
The construction quality is often compared to higher-end vehicles, making it a reliable choice for daily use. Parents appreciate the spacious storage basket and the ability to use the bassinet for newborns.
Common complaints
The weight and bulkiness are frequent complaints, making it challenging for parents who need to lift it in and out of vehicles or navigate stairs. Additionally, some parents warn against using it for two children, as it may not be the best fit for that scenario.
Parents looking for a durable, all-terrain stroller for one child that can adapt as their family grows. The tradeoff is the higher price and weight, which can be cumbersome for some.

Contact them back and tell them you are more than willing to return it if they send a shipping label and have a pick up sent. You are physically unable to move the box. Simple as that.

Thread: "Parents who don't bring their full-size stroller to the airport: why?"
The next time you gate check your stroller, stick around and watch how the baggage handlers “handle it”. We have an uppababy stroller which was very expensive that surely would be broken being thrown down the metal slide and thrown in the bottom of the plane, etc. We have a cheaper stroller that is a bit less bulky that we use for travelling and can get a bit more “beat up”.
Thread: "Don’t get the uppababy vista stroller if you plan on using it for two"
Yes that’s why we went with the Cruz. Unless you’re having the kids close in age, the configurations will not work. My friend with two under two was able to configure it to put the youngest at the top facing her.

that's an amazing deal. the bassinet alone is like $280 retail. it is really big but extremely sturdy for long walks! I think it will definitely last a few more years
Thread: "Please help me find an alternative to the UppaBaby Vista for really petty reasons"
Know what? I’m proud of you for being straight about not wanting whatever that particular person recommends. I feel the exact way about my sister; anything she or her husband recommend I immediately don’t want and I know it’s petty but here we are. And I totally understand wanting to show that it doesn’t have to be the most expansive to be good. Consumer Reports ranks three travel systems above the UppaBaby Vista: Chicco Bravo Trio (1st place), Chicco Activ3 (2nd), Chicco Mini Bravo Plus (3rd), and then UPPABaby Vista (4th). If you go with one of those, I hope you craft a snarky reply next time it comes up. :)

Thread: "Can someone de-influence me from the Uppababy Stroller?"
This is the answer because I LOVE the uppababy vista I got for $100 on marketplace. I love it because we use the bassinet feature all the time. We have a jolly jumper rocking stand for it and we do so many naps in it. It’s also perfect for naps on the go as it clips into the stroller (baby hates the car seat) or we can take it to grandmas. It’s rated for overnight sleep so I feel fine about long naps. Plus the stroller frame itself is small and easy to use. All that being said, I would not spend the thousand dollars on this product new. Keep your eye out on marketplace for a good deal because I promise you will find one eventually.
Thread: "Can someone de-influence me from the Uppababy Stroller?"
We've got the Uppababy Vista V2 - it's nice. But we spent $800 on this thing, and I've got serious doubts about whether it's really $450 nicer than a $350 stroller. The shocks on the wheels are good - but really that's something that I only would've noticed a few times, because usually it's running on very level ground - like, we aren't taking this thing trail-running or something. The roughest ground it goes on is the unpaved parking lot at the Ren Faire. It's got nice storage underneath - but plenty of cheaper strollers have that. I like that the handles extend easily since I'm tall - but again, I'm pretty sure there are a bunch of cheaper strollers that have similar features. Bottom line, I think there might be some "ease of use" things about this stroller that are a little higher end than cheaper strollers, and the build quality is very good. But when it comes down to it, I feel like I'd be about as satisfied with a $350 or $400 stroller. And honestly, since our kid was about 20 months old, he can barely be convinced to stay in the freaking stroller in any event.
Thread: "New parent question: Are stroller over $500 really worth it? Is a more expensive stroller always better?"
I have the vista and my sister had a graco. She said she definitely feels a difference in maneuverability. She said my vista is a lot smoother and turns better, etc. I’ve had it for 5 years and it’s on my second baby and still 10/10.
Thread: "FYI If you are unsure of what stroller to purchase, the Uppababy Vista holds a large pizza firmly!"

Thread: "Please help me find an alternative to the UppaBaby Vista for really petty reasons"
We ended up getting the Peg Perrego Agio Z4, which I found was very similar to the Uppababy Vista but with a few distinct advantages: - about 4.5 lbs lighter - several inches narrower - easier, single-handed fold - made in Italy vs China - 5 year warranty vs 2 year - slightly cheaper! Though not a lot - eta - second seat supports 50 lbs vs 35 lbs The Peg Perego Ypsi is a little more affordable and virtually the same stroller, only it has the 2 yr rather than 5 yr warranty. That said - I hope you can find peace with your decision on what makes sense for you and your family, from a utility, safety, and budget perspective. We decided against an infant car seat partly because we're on a third floor walkup, and didn't see a point in carrying in a car seat since we will likely transition baby to a carrier for the stair climb whenever we come home anyway. But it works beautifully for many others!

Thread: "Don’t get the uppababy vista stroller if you plan on using it for two"
I have the vista as a double and actually love it! However, my kids are close in age. They’re 18 months apart and it works great for them. I got the infant insert to have my younger on top. I also got the adapter for the car seat to be on top. It defi won’t work as well if your kids are on the taller/bigger size or have a larger age gap. I can see why some people don’t like how bulky / heavy it is though, but it’s honestly never bothered me. Yes to it taking up a lot of trunk space. The vista is a beast.

I have a Chicco travel system and I love it. Tbh I went to the store and tried them all out and I couldn’t figure out what everyone loves about the Uppa especially for the price point. I’m sure they’re nice but not that much nicer than others to justify being double the price of what I paid for mine 🤷🏻♀️

Youre better than me. I'd keep it and never tell. The vista is such a good stroller!!
Thread: "Is the Uppababy Vista worth it?"
I love my Vista v1, but there's caveats. It takes up my entire trunk when I take it to the zoo or wherever. I can't fit it through some narrower doors/openings. I would never even dream of taking it on a bus or train. BUT! It also serves as my shopping cart because it's got such a sturdy and wide basket underneath. It also rolls so smooth that I'm absolutely spoiled. It's an absolute tank, for better and for worse. Keep in mind that I live in a highly-walkable area and barely drive, so for me having a quality stroller is a high priority as that is my most-used child transportation device
Thread: "Why is choosing a baby stroller so hard???"
Lol are you talking about the vista? At first I was like well everyone recommends it, so I’ll prob just get that one! Then I went to Nordstrom and checked it out in person and hated it as soon as I tried it out. I picked Nuna mixx because it seemed easier to maneuver and fold, and maybe I just want to go against the grain haha Also for travel strollers, everyone I know rAaAaves about the yoyo, and the first time I tried it a store I started questioning what these people are smoking- yes, it’s super compact, but it’s a 2-hand 2-step fold, which doesn’t seem super convenient for travel!!
Thread: "For anyone eyeing the Uppababy vista 2."
We took a local deal with one too. Here at high end stores it retails for $1,500 usd, we were able to get it for $800 usd at Amazon. Honestly, it's GORGEOUS. We have been using the bassinet as a spare crib for the living room, lmao.

I got almost everything secondhand for my baby, but for some reason husband wanted to splurge on one big item, so we bought a brand new Vista V3. Do I love it? Absolutely, it kicks ass. Do I feel $1800 worth of difference in getting from point A to point B? Uhh ...... no. (Plus baby doesn't even really like it lol, I wear him more often than not.)
Thread: "Don’t get the uppababy vista stroller if you plan on using it for two"
I like the Vista. I feel like it’s important to make the distinction that the Vista excels at being someone’s only stroller that either lives in a walkable city or an area that allows a lot of walking around. For parents who plan on using the Vista as their only stroller and are going to be packing it up into the car frequently, it’s not the stroller they should get. I say that as a proud Vista owner. My husband and I were gifted a Minu at our shower - the stroller we asked for - knowing we would use the Minu as our daily driver. The Minu has been wonderful. One handed folding, easy to pop the car seat or bassinet into. Lightweight, and small footprint so maneuvering around stores is easy. The Vista is our home stroller. We use it on our long walks. The shocks are so much better than the Minu and the seat is a lot more comfortable for our now toddler. If we do have another, we plan on using it as a double, so Vista was our choice. I would feel less positively about the Vista if I didn’t have my Minu to fit in the spot for taking it to stores and traveling. I agree the Vista is not right for some, but it’s great for others. It’s worth it for every parent to try them out before deciding on one versus the other.
Thread: "Confused by strollers, what do you recommend?"
There’s definitely an overwhelming amount of options… You can definitely do a combo one that’s the car seat and stroller like the Doona. I think this is best for people who live in big cities or travel a lot. I personally don’t think they’re worth it.. you gotta buy a new car seat and stroller when they get bigger. You could get a bigger, travel system which is a good deal. Something like an UPPABaby vista or a mockingbird for a more budget friendly option with a car seat adapter is very nice. These also usually have options for a bassinet or an infant insert so you don’t always have to use the car seat! They’re very nice strollers with lots of storage, high weight limits, lots of accessories and can really last you a long time. The downside is they are pricey and often very heavy/take up a lot of trunk space! Another option is a travel stroller. Many people use these for every day!! There’s many options these days.. some top ones are the Zoe line, Buggaboo Butterfly, UPPAbaby Minu.. there’s many more. These sometimes can be used with a car seat, are often under 20 pounds, fold compactly, are great for toddlers, great for travel, more budget friendly! Downsides are often not best for infants unless it’s one with a car seat adapter, have less storage and not as many bells and whistles. So.. I chose 2. I went with the Mockingbird which is so nice and we love it. It’s great for babies with all the attachments. Worked with our Chico Key fit car seat and is a nice push! Adjustable handle bar was nice since my husband is a lot taller than me. But it’s really heavy for my small frame and took up my whole SUV trunk. So I also got the Zoe Tour. It’s also amazing!! It’s 13 pounds, folds flat, takes up a fraction of my trunk, great for travel and my toddler loves the snack tray and being able to sit fully upright. I keep that one in the trunk and the Mockingbird in the garage for walks. Lastly, check out The Stroller Mom on Instagram or YouTube! She does full videos comparing strollers and doing in-depth reviews of the most popular brands! That’s how I picked my two!! Good luck!
Thread: "Don’t get the uppababy vista stroller if you plan on using it for two"
If you have a mid size SUV or bigger it isn't as bad for trunk space. If you get the newest Vista (the v3), the bassinet attachment is sold separately. We didn't get the bassinet and got the infant insert instead. It's not for everyone, but it runs smoothly and I like it! Also, just get the car seat adapter so you'll be able to have the youngest on top facing you, and your older one on the bottom (see the bottom left & bottom center). https://preview.redd.it/6e5gm69e8mbf1.png?width=1008&format=png&auto=webp&s=98935a09710b98f88642f9e2ad9509fa6aab2936
Thread: "First time parents - Uppababy or Graco?"
The stroller is something you use for years, the car seat is short lived. I always recommend making a decision based on the stroller you want, and then tackle the infant seat. The uppababy is my number 1 used baby product, hands down. We just had a second kid, and she is riding on the piggyback.
Thread: "I am the ONLY MOM in my 20 person moms group that doesn’t have an UppaBaby stroller?!"
Idk, we liked the stability/size, larger wheels, and the bassinet. We used it and the Bassinet for Living Room or other room naps for a first couple of months, it was basically a mobile bed.
Thread: "Prams - did you regret getting a larger, heavy pram for your first baby?"
Only have one bub and we have the Vista. I LOVE it. The main consideration will be whether your car has boot space for it. With only one little one you can definitely put groceries and things on the back seat if need be.
Thread: "Did you have a bassinet attachment for your stroller?"
We used ours so much! Not only did we use it for our daily walks, but we kept it inside and it was our place to safely put the baby down on the first floor. Since it was attached to the stroller we could easily move it from room to room, which was useful for napping too. We got a uppababy vista and it was just one of the attachments that came with it so while we didn’t actively choose it, we actively used it.

Thread: "Uppababy Vista V2 Overrated?"
I love it! I loved the lie flat bassinet when she was a newborn. She’d just sleep while we were out doing our thing and I didn’t need to worry about her position or how long she’d been in there. We also used it as an extra bassinet in the house. Now that she’s bigger (21 months) I love the storage abilities for trips to the library or the farmers market or shopping etc. We live in a city without a car and I joke it’s my Volvo station wagon. It drives well over bumpy city sidewalks and cobblestones. I do think all the accessories you “need” to buy are a bit much but she loves that fuzzy sleeping bag, so convenient in winter and the snack tray is great. So yeah I’m a fan.
Thread: "What do I get with luxury/expensive strollers (uppababy, Nuna) over affordable ones (Chicco, Graco)"
I got all the expensive ones, but used in marketplace for the same price as a new cheaper one. My Uppababy with 2 seats and the kickstand board was only $250 and hands down the best stroller for us. I also bought the donkey bugaboo used for $300 and used it for a few months and then sold it for $300 when we got the uppa baby instead

Thread: "What's the best stroller for me?"
There’s something weirdly humbling about shopping for strollers, it’s like test-driving tiny cars you’ll push around for the next 3 years. For suburban life with one kid and lots of car loading, I’d look at more compact-but-durable options like the Babyzen or Nuna. Both are lightweight, fold with one hand, and are newborn-friendly with car seat adapters or bassinet attachments. The nuna one leans more plush and luxe-feeling, especially for newborn naps, but the babyzen still wins for me when it comes to foldability and how tiny it gets, it actually fits in an airplane overhead. Other than that I know the vista gets a lot of hype, but yeah, it’s def on the bulky side if you’re only planning for one kid. If portability and ease-of-use are top priorities, you might want something that’s car and travel-friendly without feeling flimsy.
