Is the UppaBaby Vista worth the $??

kkdavie15 · August 2011

I feel so torn... It gets great reviews and I know I don't want a travel system but it seems like so much to spend on a stroller. Plus it's only a few pounds lighter than a travel system and I don't know if it will be too big/heavy for me... I'm 5'3 but DH is 6'1.

Did/would you get an infant only car seat and the attachment for it? Does that mean you didn't/wouldn't use the basset that much?

I am definitely interested in seeing what the Cruz is all about... I read that it should be released at the end of August.

I swear - DH and I test drove every stroller at BBB and BRU without looking at price tags and this is what we chose. After reading all the reviews I could find online, it sealed the deal.

We plan on using the car seat adapter, but also buying the stand for the bassinet and using it in our room.

If I had a singleton - Uppababy would've been my stroller of choice.

That being said, I really love my Bumbleride. So much so that I have 2 of them.

Not sure if this helps, but Land Of Nod is offering 20% off and free shipping until 8/14 with code BUDDY for all colors-they are never on sale and coupons usually exclude them, but it worked for me. Still def a pricey stroller, but every little bit helps!

kkdavie15 · August 2011

Well I guess I feel a little better about wanting it and NYCBride - Thanks for the coupon code... I'll have to check it out!!

No prob-when I saw it I was like, no way this will work, they ALWAYS exclude it, but it totally did. And everyone who has it looooves it-I swear, they think its the greatest thing since sliced bread-even compared to the more expensive Bugaboo. I was planning on getting one anyway, but this was just like icing on the cake

OMG I feel like I could kiss you right now! I put in the code, it worked, and we got an amazing deal! I told my mom about it and she said her and my dad would buy it for us as my shower gift!! You are saint... thank you, thank you, thank you!! Big Smile

Have you been able to see/drive it in a store? That will sell you, and make sure you get it on sale (the maya is still $499 on albeebaby.com). It's the nicest one around and I've been shopping strollers for years. I've never heard anyone who bought it regret their decision. You could buy two cheap strollers for the cost, but that's what you'll have, two cheap strollers. Think of it as a 3-4 year, more if you add the rumble seat for #2, investment.

Thanks for the tip but I just bought it off Land of Nod... We got it in Cole Slate. I'm not a huge fan of the Maya, especially for a boy and thought the slate gray/blue could work for either if we have another and it's a girl

Haha I'm dying, you're welcome! I think I've posted this on a bunch of boards/posts and I swear ppl are going to think I work for them-but its just such a good deal for something that NEVER goes on sale in normal colors (I don't like the yellow one that is on sale-I wanted boring black Smile ) that I feel like I have to spread the news!

As a momma, I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Uppa Baby..I could go on and on how wonderful it is..cause it REALLY is. I am so sad that I have to find a stroller that's a double cause I love this stroller so much..

As far as your questions. YES get the infant attachement it's so worth the 30$. The stroller then becomes a Snap and Go. We used it every time we went out for like 6mnths. Now the infant seat is a whole other story..Jake hated his (chicco) With baby number #2 I am going to get the Graco.

We didn't really use the bassenet feature.it's just comes as part of the stroller. Jake didn't like to be reclined he would rather sit up and see what;s going on. But I know many kiddos on the SAIF and other boards I am sure..all used it some even slept in it instead fo a pnp..

Other things to consider..it is heavy. So if you don't want a heavy stroller this and prob the Bob are not for you. It does also have a wide turn radius..so navigating through small isles can be challenging. But it's not that big of a deal. We have also traveled MANY times with it on an airplane. I got a cheapo travel bag and it's been fine..

Finally, The customer service with the UPPA is FANTASTIC. I have had 2 problems with my stroller, small stuff. and they shipped out replacements in no time flat.

The price is steep for a stroller but it's totally worth it!

I just got the Slate color on Sunday. I showed my local store the 20% discount at Land of Nod and they were able to match it.

I tried the Bugaboo Cameleon and the Orbitz along with a bunch of other strollers and I kept on coming back to the Vista.

patchen30 · August 2011

We liked the UppaBaby Vista as much as the Bugaboo Camelon, but chose the Cameleon b/c it's a little lighter and narrower and we can use all the help we can get w/ that since we live in Manhattan. It has amazing features and the tires are super sturdy, and you could even put the bassinet on a stand and have the baby sleep in in for the first few months instead of buying a seperate bassinet/moses basket.

i bought it and cant wait to use it. i got it in lindsey color and it is to die for. the wheels are so smooth and it feels really durable. i love all the features and it is super easy to break down.

good luck with your decision making

smilee · August 2011

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!

The size of the basket alone is worth it.

LOVE my UppaBaby!!
