UPPAbaby Vista Review

UPPAbaby Vista_4

The Vista provides a simple and secure way to run errands without worrying about disrupting your baby. Equipped with a 5 point harness, this car seat stroller allows you to easily adjust the infant car seat and it can be reclined for added comfort. The storage basket helps keep things organized, and the swivel wheels make it agile. When you’re ready, it is easily folded to put in the trunk.

This has to be one of the most versatile strollers available today. Not only is it well designed but it is stylish and functional. From city streets and urban streets to country roads and beaches; from a day strolling in the local park to a trip around the shopping mall – this stroller lets you do it in comfort and style. This stroller was made to grow with your child. The VISTA is the ideal stroller from birth through to their older years. It adapts easily to your growing family with solutions for an older sibling. There’s a lot for your little one to see – get out there and get strolling.

If you buy the UPPAbaby Vista new, it is very easy to assemble out of the box. It is extremely versatile and as you would expect with a stroller in this price range, it has lots and lots of accessories. It folds easily and although relatively heavy, it is very easy to push. This stroller has lots and lots of storage and easily converts into a travel system.

  • Rain cover does not fit the bassinet
  • Cup holder is extra ($25). Valco universal cup holder is better.
  • Bottom strap of the buckle is very short and can be difficult to fish for. Phil&Teds is better.

Review and Comparison

So how does the UPPAbaby Vista compare to other luxury strollers? There is no easy answer to this but I will try and highlight the differences.

Maneuverability

This stroller is very easy to maneuver. Most luxury strollers turn and push easy and similar maneuverability can be found in the:

  • iCandy Peach
  • Bugaboo Cameleon
  • Quinny Buzz 4

It is wide but not as wide as the Orbit Baby G2 Stroller.

Adaptability

Many single strollers can be easily converted to a double stroller. The UPPAbaby Vista can grow and expand with your family. Other strollers like this include:

  • Bugaboo Cameleon
  • iCandy Peach

Although the Vista folds easily the Quinny Buzz 4 is easier.

The seat is relatively high and makes working with your baby much easier but the Stokke Xplory stroller seat is much higher and makes working and communicating with your baby even easier.

The seat and bassinet are very easy to remove or install and the seat has a good recline. This is comparable to seats on other strollers.

UPPAbaby Vista Conclusion

There used to be an issue with the seat not capable of going vertical. This has now been resolved. The UPPAbaby Vista Stroller is a very high standard baby stroller with very well designed, practical features. There are no current stroller recalls.

Although it is at the more expensive end of the price range, Uppababy Vista Strollers are worth the money if you can afford it. Uppababy Vista Stroller Reviews are normally positive in nature due to the quality of the product.

One of the best features of this stroller is its ease of folding. When you have to get the stroller in your car and it is pouring rain, this is a real blessing and the seat does not have to be removed. I also like the fact that it comes with a bassinet for newborn babies.

UPPAbaby Vista_1

The seat/bassinet height is at a nice height to make it comfortable when working with your child.

This stroller has loads of storage space (similar to the Quinny Buzz 4) and it will expand with your family so it is good if your baby has an older brother or sister. The optional rumble board permits the older sibling to stand on it if their legs become tired on longer walks. This is very convenient. In sunny climates, a parasol can be attached to protect the standing child from the sun.

I have no doubt that anyone who purchases this stroller will love it and it will last a lifetime.  If you do want something that doesn’t cost quite as much try the Nuna Mixx.

The safety measures included in the UPPA baby 2015 G-Luxe stroller, Sebby, is the brake. This can be operated with just one step of your foot, ensuring that you can quickly stop wherever you are.

UPPAbaby Cruz Stroller Review

February 1, 2017 by Jo

UPPAbaby Cruz_1

Company Description

As a relatively new company, UPPAbaby is already established and has made a very formidable reputation for itself.

The company is recognized as producing well designed, high quality products that are stylish and practical.

 

Save 20% on Uppababy Cruz – Deal valid December 2017

This deal is current as of December 2017 where you can save 20% on the Uppababy Vista 2016 at Pish Posh Baby.  This deal won’t last long because it’s on 2016 stock so make sure that if you want a Vista or a Cruz, you act fast.

 

Basics

The UPPAbaby Cruz is  a more budget friendly version of the UPPAbaby Vista. It would be more comfortable on city streets than rural areas. This stroller does not come with a bassinet and the Vista bassinet will not fit. Overall it is a lighter version of the Vista but it fills a gap in the market. However, it does have great suspension.

This stroller is really maneuverable and quiet. It looks absolutely great and best of all, it has a massive 2.7 cubic foot cargo basket.

UPPAbaby Cruz_4

Although this is a great stroller to look at, I do have a few gripes (see below).

 

Cruz Specification

  • Dimensions:    FOLDED: 22″W x 11″L x 37″H. OPEN: 22″W  x 29.5″L  x 39.5″H
  • Weight:    22 pounds
  • Max. Load:     50 lbs
  • Very large (2.7 cubic feet) cargo area
  • One hand seat recline
  • Reversible seat
  • Optional “SnugSeat” accessory for newborns
  • 4 wheel suspension
  • Puncture proof wheels
  • Large sun canopy with extendable sunshade

Cruz Stroller PROS

  • Really big cargo area
  • Can hold a 50 lb child
  • Reversible seat
  • Seat reclines with one hand operation
  • Very easy to push
  • Very maneuverable
  • Large, adjustable sun canopy
  • Puncture proof tires
  • 4-wheel shock absorbers for smooth ride

Cruz Stroller CONS

  • At 22lbs, this is not a light stroller
  • Folding and unfolding should be easier
  • Cuptray/toybar not included
  • Cannot get shoulder straps to fit tightly
  • Vista bassinet does not fit Cruz – Different frame sizes.
  • Vista car seat adapters will not fit Cruz – Different frame sizes.

UPPAbaby Cruz Reviews and Features

Maneuverability

I found the Cruz stroller very easy to push. Not only that, it was quiet and the 4 wheel suspension meant that the ride was very smooth. I was very impressed with this.

It is also very maneuverable. At only 22″ wide, it fits into relatively narrow spaces. Taking this stroller shopping is a breeze.

Maneuverability is comparable to the iCandy Peach and the Phil&Teds Vibe – https://philandteds.com/us/.

Frame

The frame is made from aluminum. Folding and unfolding should be easier considering the price you pay. This is my pet hate about the UPPAbaby Cruz.

UPPAbaby Cruz_5

Whenever I lift the stroller out of the trunk, I have to place it on the ground (sometimes wet, muddy, oily etc.) so that I can undo the clasp that holds it together. When it is raining or it is extremely hot, I really do not want to be doing this – especially with a 1 year old screaming in the back of the car. I should not have to put the fabric of my stroller on the ground. The stroller should at the very least, be capable of unfolding using one hand and the wheels should always hit the ground first.

Seat

The seat looks great and comes in different colors. It is reversible and has an adjustable recline and is very easily adjusted using the handle at the top of the seat. However the safety harness caused me some concern. I could never get the shoulder harness tight enough. There was not enough adjustment and my baby was never securely strapped in (in my opinion).

Canopy

 UPPAbaby Cruz_2

I like the canopy on the Cruz. It is large and adjustable for taller children. It also has a pull-out extension that provides SPF 50 sun protection.

Shopping Space

The cargo area in this stroller is one of the largest available. It has a volume of 2.7 cubic feet and is located under the seat.

UPPAbaby Cruz_3

Wheels

Like the UPPAbaby Vista Stroller, the Cruz has 4 wheel suspension. The wheels are made of foam and covered with rubber. This provides a nice, comfortable ride and they can never go flat so you do not have to carry a pump. The combination of wheels and suspension give a very comfortable ride.

Brakes

The brakes are very effective and are operated by pressing a crossbar (located between the rear wheels) with your foot. This is a very simple operation. However, if you take large strides, you will possibly hit your feet against this bar which would be very uncomfortable.

Accessories

  • CRUZ Bumper Bar
  • SnackTray
  • CRUZ Ride-Along Board
  • Infant “SnugSeat”
  • Car seat adapters
  • Cup holder
  • Parent Organizer for handlebar
  • Footmuff
  • Travelbag

Summary

Overall, this is a good stroller. However I just could not get to grips with the unfolding and this really bugged me. Also, the loose shoulder straps on the seat safety harness were an annoyance to me and I never was sure if I was doing something wrong. Having tried the straps in as many positions as I could, I never did rectify this problem.
