Uppababy Vista

FTM here. I really love the Vista, but my husband thinks it's a bit big. We'll probably go with the City Mini if we don't get the Vista. We live on the UWS and I'm due at the end of April, so I feel like I'm going to be out and about with the baby a lot for the 1st three months. Anyone have experience with the Vista they could share? Is it a pain to get in some doorways? I just really love the idea of a rear facing seat.

    I've only been using mine for a week, but I absolutely love it.I live on the UES, and been going to Fairway, drugstores, doctor's offices-so far no problems getting through doors.I also love how easy to maneuver,even with one hand.

    Why don't get the Cruz? Uppababy released it in Fall 2010.

    We bought it and looking fwd to using it soon. :)

    The Cruz doesn't have a bassinet does it? Can you put an infant in the regular seat? I'm going to be out and about in the summer months so I think using the car seat addition will be too hot.

    The Cruz doesn't have a bassinet, but you can use it from birth if you get a snugseat.  :)

    I got mine in 2007.  The company was fairly new but I loved the storage underneath, and the bassinet (which we strolled around the apartment a lot!).  I definitely loved having the rear facing seat (sorry to your dh- it was a great feature for a new, paranoid mom).  LIving in the city, the storage was sooooo helpful.  It holds a ton. 

    As for the wheels, 95% of the time I did fit in stores.  The supermarket was the one place I always had trouble- but so did most of my friends with strollers like the Bugaboo.  Those check out lines are very narrow!  But there are ways around it - which you'll figure out pretty quickly.  I don't regret having the Uppa Baby Vista in the city- but- I will admit that I did bump into things a lot because the wheels were wider than I expected.  You just get used to it- it's kind of like buying a new car and you just need to get used to the quirks of how it handles. 

    It has a good re-sale value - not that you're thinking of that now!  I just sold mine (I moved to the suburbs and don't have use for it now) on Craig's List and a lot of people were interested in buying it- I was happy with how fast it sold.

    It's a great stroller - you will be happy with it!

    The UBV is great, perfect for the city. When DS was a newborn we used the bassinet all of the time. We also have the city mini and we use that for traveling out if the city.
