Does anyone have an uppa baby vista?

We have a BOB for Lilly and were planning to get a double BOB but I'm not totally sure if we are still going that route.  I love the way the BOB rides (tried it out in the store) but I've read a bit about the uppa baby and got interested.

Here's the thing.  I have Lilly (20 months) who still rides in her stroller.  She walks too but she is in the stroller quite a bit when we are out.  Now, come November, my sister is having her son and I'll be watching him too.  Lilly will be 2 years 1month at that point.  And then come February, we'll have #2.  So I'll have a NB, 3 month old and an almost 2.5 year old.  

I kinda want something that *can* carry all 3 but not that I will all the time, but I'd like the option.  I know I'll probably carry one in the moby or ergo but I would still like the possible option of all 3 in the stroller.  

Is there a better option than the uppa baby vista?

    I have a Vista and love it! I like the snap & go style that can grow with the baby. The basket is huge too... I have only used the stroller for two months and the basket has come in handy several times. It rides smoothly and is easy to open and close too. Cup holders, snack trays, and adapter for the car seat are extra $.

    I have no experience using it for a double or triple, but I think the rumble seat age minimum is 6 months. I don't know if you could use it as a double with two infants. 

    Another option to check out would be the Britax B-ready. I found the UBV to be built better and seemed more heavy duty, but the B-ready had a lot of options for using it as a double.

    Do you know the name of the platform that works universally on strollers?

    Thanks for your input!  

    I really like the options the b-ready has!  I'm going to have to check that one out at buy buy baby!  If I can get a universal skateboard thing so Lilly can ride on that, it would be perfect.  I want to see how it rides though too!  And Aaron really likes the rubber tires on the uppa baby vista....he's not really a fan of the plastic tires so that's one thing holding him back from the b-ready

    I know what you mean about the quality of tires... the quality differences in the frame and tires was the main part of our decision to go with UBV. Another similar style is the Baby Jogger City Select - I think this one can handle 2 infants.

    Sorry, no help with the universal skateboard... I've only seen one on the UBV. DH thought it was cool and wanted to ride on it himself like jumping on the back of a moving shopping cart, lol.

    We ended up getting the baby jogger citi select.  BBB had all 3 strollers so we were able to compare them...the citi select seems just as sturdy as the UBV but it had a lot more configurations available including being able to put 2 car seats which is huge since I'll have a newborn and 3 month old that will need that.  

    Thanks for the help..I'm so excited about the new stroller!
