Our baby slept in the bassinet for his first 3 months, before we moved him to his crib. He slept great and we didn't have to buy another bassinet. We also kept it connected to the stroller so we could wheel him to whatever room we were in. Love the UPPAbaby items, so worth the money.
After watching your mockingbird video I went with that option for our twins. I was truly hesitant as my heart wanted the vista but thought with twins I should be logical and spend less money on a decent stroller. Well I ended up not liking the mockingbird as much as I thought I would. While it was nice looking, in double mode it just severely lacked. It would get stuck on a bumpy road, and the wheels would lock up and my stroller would jerk forward. Thankfully mockingbird had an amazing return policy and refunded my purchase entirely. All that to say, I ended up purchasing the Vista V2 and couldn’t be happier. I should have just went with that in the beginning.
Wow, glad I read this comment. Was thinking of saving and getting the Mockingbird as well, actually also want to see if anyone has experience with the Peg Perego Agio Z4??
I literally placed my order a few days ago but it's 8-9 weeks backed up, but now after placing the order for the mockingbird I started to rethink the Vista
@@ursenpapi7361 I ended up with the Vista, Bloomingdales was offering $300 cash back for every order of $1000 or more, and Rakuten offered 10% cash back. So I ended up getting the Uppababy for around $600
I’m not sure how tall you are but I’m 6’2 and I kick the rear crossbar of most strollers and it’s the most frustrating thing. The fact that the vista’s crossbar is pushed forward and passes through the middle of the cargo area is a GAME CHANGER for taller people. I’ll take that feature over extra cargo space any day! This is the main reason I didn’t buy the mockingbird.
I have a 3 year old and a 10 month old. Have been using this stroller for quite sometime now. One thing I hate and does cause a inconvenience is that both children cannot nap at the same time. No matter how you change the seats up, both seats can’t be in full tilt at the same time comfortably.
I have the vista V2 and because we skipped a bucket seat all together (got the Graco 4ever instead), we use the bassinet all the time! We use the bassinet as an around the house safe sleep place for our son which is super convenient for walks. If he's napping we just click it onto the stroller and go. It's been worth every penny this first month of use and it's $1500 Canadian.
Thank you for going into detail about every aspect and including honest comparisons! So many videos talk about irrelevant things and Im just here for facts. I was highly considering the Contours Options double because of the suspension but now the Uppababy Vista is higher on my list 😅
@@neuroticgypsy I love it a lot. Not just by me but my sister in law too. She would care for our baby from time to time and she was envious because back when she had her kids(which was a long time ago) they don’t make strollers like this. Very smooth to push. We love uppababy so much, we have the mesa and uppababy minu(for traveling) that we also would leave in the car.
Hi again, Andrew. I first saw Magic Beans' V2 overview much much earlier this year but it doesn't really go into the testing and daily driving aspect of it. We have had the V1 since our first girl was born, and my wife is never one to skimp out on anything for her girls (or girl at the time). We did not know at the time of finally using our V1 with our first daughter that we'd be soon be having to add the rumble seat to accommodate 2 little girls. Our V1 has pretty much become a V1 LXX with absolutely every conceivable compatibility scenario covered short of having it drive itself. Like yourselves, we love the Uppababy brand and have therefore almost exclusively purchased all our gear from them including (but not limited to) a Mesa, a Minu and a GLink2 for slightly easier travel experiences. In the end, my wife being a fan of the TV show, Shameless, uses a hilarious method for making her stroller choices: If Deb would want to steal it, then I want to own it! Anyhow, from one dad to another, I always enjoy your content, especially the life vlogs, because I'm reminded of what's really important when it comes to my girls. Thank you.
My husband pointed out with the bar underneath does make it so you could secure bags to the bar so it isn’t snatchable. For places like Disney or something, it adds piece of mind.
As a new Dad of 1, I highly recommend the Mockingbird paired with the Britax b-safe ultra! Love your channel! Been a long time subscriber, hope you and your family are good in these crazy times!
We went with the Britax after doing a whole lot of TH-cam research and buy buy baby testing.. we liked the safety features it has and it’s quick and easy to use pull tight click harness. Graco is a solid option but if you have the little bit extra I would go with the Britax for the build quality! And by the way your going to love your Mockingbird.. it’s crazy how good it is for the price!
Dream stroller but I can never justify the price! Although this video makes me forget about the price and makes me want to try for another baby 😂 Thanks so much for the amazing quality! We can never take for granted this level of review quality! Also, I will NOT recommend the Evenflo pivot Xpand. I bought it and ended up selling it and going with the city mini.
@Isabel Castro I cant really put into words... It felt cheap, it was bulky, it was hard to fold, the material was rough (my daughter hated the carseat)... idk. I have a citymini now and it’s night a day. It just wasnt the stroller for me...
@@estefir2930 Thanks for your insight on this. Great to hear other opinions. City Mini is always a solid option and one I always undervalue. I should highlight that one more.
Great quality video! Thanks for sharing! We started out with the Chicco Bravo stroller and upgraded to the Uppababy Cruz and are soo glad we did! It definitely makes a different! Especially if you are going to be using the stroller often. With baby #2 on the way we’re going to get the Vista and I wish we would have gotten it from the beginning!
The Cruz was much easier to steer/maneuver especially with one hand, and it just felt a lot smoother. Also it was easier for me to open/close on my own. And at our local baby boutique they had uppababy reps come and you could make an appt to get a “tune up” on your uppababy strollers which was really nice and felt cool to be a part of!
Could you do the Cruz2 vs the Vista 2? It may have smaller differences but I think it would be a better option if someone didn’t want to spend a grand for the V2 with bassinet.
Love following your reviews. I'd be interested to know what your opinions on 3 wheelers are? We love them - they're so agile and i don't think any less stable. We have the Baby Jogger City Mini GT that folds so easily and is great for the car. Also the Phil and Ted Sport which works really well as an inline double. We had the Monutain Buggy Urban Jungle which is basically the same as the Phil and Teds but were disappointed it was unaccommodating for two.
Hey, thanks for these awesome videos! We purchased the uppababy vista v2 and Mesa car seat for our son that coming in about 6 weeks. I was just on your page yesterday to see if you reviewed any pack and plays. What’s your recommendation?
Good question. I haven't done dedicated reviews of the Pack n Plays, just minor mentions in a couple videos. My favorite thus far has been the Guava Lotus though.
Taylor Linton our first is due in January, we’re just really excited and getting a jump on some things. We are planning on going with the Britax B-Safe Ultra, as well.
i also bought the mocking bird and received it about 2 weeks ago. i LOVE it. I'm still waiting for baby to get here in october but so far, my toddler is obsessed and very comfortable in it!
Great video, thank you! Could you please clarify which lower adapter you used for the rumble seat? I'm noticing the lower adapters disclose its only for the bassinet and mesa. Thanks for the help!
Just got our vista 2 for our baby coming soon! Was wondering if you had any review or could do a review on the Beside me dreamer bassinet and bedside sleeper by Baby Delight? Thanks!
Great review Andrew! I recently purchased this and I couldn't be more happy. It definitely is the smoothest stroller I've used with my daughter. I also use the Doona for quick in and out errands when using the car, but this is great quality. I recently purchased the Guava Active Stroller for jogging and was wondering if your were thinking of reviewing it? Keep the great content up. Appreciation from a new dad.
@@kristajohnson4717 In reality the Doona lasts about 1 year for your child, so you’d have to switch to something else, and the Uppababy definitely fits the bill. It truly is the smoothest ride in terms of the higher end strollers, as well as built sturdily with the option to upgrade to a second seat, or third via board. You’d be making a sound choice. Good luck in your search.
I had the evenflo xpand stroller. And itw as by far the WORST stroller I owned. The front wheel would violently shake and the wheels would dent and cause the shaking. EvenFlo didn't do anything about it, they sent me replacement wheels, same thing happened. I also had Graco Click Connect, and that was VERY NOISY! I hated it. I had the Graco Jogger. Which I LOVED! However, I didn't want two different brands with 2 different carseats, especially since the jogger would only fit in my daily driver and not the other vehicle. I opted (after spending $1,200 on 3 different strollers all together!) to get the UppaBaby Vista V2 and Mesa carseat. And I have never looked back. This was the stroller I wanted from the very beginning, and I should have just bit the bullet and got it then, but I was on the fence about spending that kind of cash on a single stroller. I ended up doing it anyway on 3 different strollers, 2 of which I was very unhappy with. The lesson I took away from it? Always go with my first choice.
@DadVerb we’d love to see a video demoing how to get through the airport with the uppababy vista V2 (we have a 2.5 year old who’s too big for the rumble seat, and a 3.5 month old). You don’t even have to take the video in the airport- just guide us how to navigate the TSA security checkpoint with one of these stroller beasts!
Saw you on Sean Cannell’s ad for VRA and headed over here. Subscribed and liked. Looking forward to watching your videos and finding quality items for my littles.
I just want to say that we liked the video and went ahead to purchase the uppa baby v2 via the links the author used to help him, however poshbaby(the store in the links) have screwed us over for taking 8 days to ship within the us where amazon prime was 1 day shipment...they mentioned no where in the order confirmation that it will take them 7 to 8 days to deliver, and we left the us before the shipment arrives...so the video is good, the store (poshbaby) is terrible.
When canopy is extended, there is no flap to close the ventilation at the top. How much sun gets through and is that part rain resistant? Wish they added a flap for that window.
Great video, esp the quality! I've been debating between this, city select, Graco modes click connect (their infant car seats have barely any head/neck support which really bothers me). Have you ever tried the City Select?
Honestly this stroller is almost perfect... like if the crossbar wasn’t there and they had two full toddler seats. This seems like a dream stroller! Also best bassinet! Would you recommend any silver cross products their of higher quality strollers as well into their double strollers.
Very much agree. Based on my limited time I had with Silver Cross Wave, I loved it but I haven't been able to go in-depth on in. Regarding compacts, I got to play with the Jet a bit more but I have to say I prefer my Minu.
You should make a video about the joolz geo2 I use it now already for over 2 years and it still rides how I got it the first time, it's around same like this one but with a large storage what change to seat for second kid. But they have side packs to compensate that or the driving board too. Its overall beautiful practical stroller and only thing I dont like is the stretches what every stroller gets.
New viewer here and I already really enjoy your videos. Before this I was wondering what the hype was around this stroller and the Jordan Lebron and Kobe reference made that very plain and relatable. LOL Before this I was really sold on the Baby Jogger City Select. I would assume you would put it in the category with the Mockingbird, But how would you compare it? Did you add it to your research at all? I can see that the fold here is better than the BJCS for 1, but it seems most of the other features are similar.
Thanks for the review! Any chance you would review the peg Perego Ypsi? Or the boutique version the Agio Z4? They recently became double compatible and I’ve seen it compared to the vista.
I can't speak to the Agio just yet as I haven't been able to test it, but the Ypsi is a good option for sure. At this very moment it's on sale at a great price and I'd pick it up. But because it's normally $800, it's kind of in the Vista's price range and I'd make the case to go with Uppa between those two. Little things I've noted that I felt could be improved were the fold and brakes. It folds like the Colugo Complete but I wish it was a tad slimmer. And at that price point, the brakes didn't feel "premium" like you'd see with Nuna, Uppa and co. Just my two cents.
I have the peg perego ypsi and I love it. I got it on sale in January for less than $600. It’s worth it if you’re getting it at that price. The negatives- No tray for you or the baby. I’m also not the biggest fan of the storage compartment. It works but could be better. It rides very smooth and is a quality stroller.
Hey Andrew, I'm not sure if your family is outdoorsy and enjoy cycling, but I was wondering if you could review some bike trailer/stroller options (Thule coaster XT, Thule chariot lite/cross/sport, for example). There are almost no decent reviews in that category on youtube and I'd appreciate your input. :)
I placed an order for the mockingbird when I originally wanted the nuna mixx next, but thought mb mockingbird isn't that bad of an option. Now I'm thinking about getting the Vista 😭 (the mockingbird is also 8-9 weeks backed up)
Hi there! I was wondering if the infant bassinet can fit with either the extra toddler seat or the original one it comes with? Or can the bassinet feature only be used independently? Thank you!
Curious about mockingbird accessory comparability. Do you happen to know if the chicco car seat connector for the mockingbird fits in the vista? I’ve had the mockingbird for a year. I’m selling it and probably going to buy the vista instead. I have all of these accessories and I’d really like to be able to use them.
While I personally love Uppa for littles who are a couple years apart, I think you may fare better with the Demi Grow for twins. In the long run, the Rumble seat for the Uppa will be too small for one of your kids while the other will still have space. The Demi Grow isn't as long and has a slightly easier push when fully loaded. The main downside is you lose your basket space when used as a double. If that's a dealbreaker, then go with the V2.
Do you have to pull handle all the way up to fold stroller? I feel like handle would get scratched and beat up from hitting the ground when doing that...?
To self stand the handlebar needs to be fully extended. There are two rubber nubs that flank the middle portion of the handlebar which are designed to make contact with the ground so the leather doesn't have to.
Hi! New mama here! Currently pregnant :) we just bought the vista stroller, we also bought the Graco extend fit convertible car seat which grows with them, from newborn to age 4, because I figured we could get the most use of that one...do you know if there is an adapter for that car seat to fit the vista stroller? Or should I just buy the infant car seat for that stroller? We wanted to have 2 car seats anyways
Hi! In the same boat with the Graco convertible and wondering the same - if we should just buy the Mesa infant car seat along with the Graco or get the adaptor. I know this comment was five months ago, but Id still love to know your thoughts if you’ve decided!
I have this system. For the price, I feel it's a very nice system. Let me give my opinion in the hopes of assisting another fellow parent. Pros- it is a smaller and more narrow size than other strollers which makes it easier to pick up and maneuver, especially in stores. * The cover is fairly low (though not as low as this Uppa baby one) but it does close completely with the infant carseat on to cover-up baby entirely. It has a mesh for ventilation on the main stroller. * Wheels are very comfortable and easy to maneuver. They seem pretty steady and even though it's not a running stroller, it is perfectly comfortable for extended strolls as my husband and I do them often (baby is 9 months for reference) * it has decent cargo space in the back, 3 cup holders (2 for parents, one for baby) and a zippered compartment (for smaller things like keys and stuff) * The infant car seat is very comfortable and feels very protective of baby. Also all parts are removable and washable, though the material is also very easy to clean with wipes. * You can buy just the base and use the car seat from car to car. Now with the cons: * No bassinet or full recliner. I was very interested in this, however, the rep at Buy Buy Baby made me feel like it wouldn't be as useful as I thought. I now realize he was wrong. I wish I would have had it for naps for baby when I am visiting family or just to be able to take her without needing to also haul the carseat. * The handles do not move in position so you can see baby in stroller from both sides. The only way to face baby is if you're using the car seat. Otherwise, the baby is facing away. I kind of dislike this as a cheaper little stroller we bought for the in-laws house actually had this capability and it reclines both ways and it cost less than $100. For the price, this would be a great feature to have. * The infant stroller, while very comfortable and safe, is also fairly heavy. As I use it every day, I am now dealing with this frequently (my poor tendinitis is feeling it). Part of that is my 18lb baby though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt! * Base, though convenient, is also pretty pricey. We opted on just buying a full size car seat for our other car and do not regret that decision. We were gifted one though, and my MIL uses that one for picking up baby sometimes. That is convenient since I just drop off baby with car seat everytime and if she has an emergency, she has something she can use. Hope this helps!!
@@RoseVampireGirl4 you're welcome!! It always helped me when I was pregnant to have other parent's input, so I hope to pass that on now to others! We live and learn to help others!
@@dadverb Thank you! Figured I'd give my input in case you can't make a video! Though we are now looking at another convertible car seat on a budget and would love to get your input on that since many parents might be needing one as well!
Technically yes, but the child's feet in the upper seat will be right in front of the child in the rumble seat, so I wouldn't recommend that configuration.
Hi there! I love your review but I’m torn between the Nuna Mixx Next and Uppababy Vista V2. Which one do you think is better? My baby is coming in about 9 weeks and it’s our first baby. I’m male and not too tall at only 5ft5 and I feel like the Nuna Mixx Next is easier to maneuver and its size is smaller too. Thank you in advance!
Very very similar. It's kind of a toss up, but I still lean toward Vista. Personally the thing that bothers me about the Demi Grow is when used as a double, the placement of the second seat is basically in the basket. Kids actually love it, but its a bit odd for me and you lose some of your basket space and access.
I’m comparing and in debate about the same 2 systems. The Nuna second seat is so low . Issue I’m worried about is what is best for twins that will be the same size? Also what do you think about the Mesa’s car seat cover? Read a few reviews it doesn’t provide much coverage for babies
Good questions. The only set I'm aware of is either the stroller-bassinet combo or the total travel system that comes with The Vista, Mesa and bassinet - amzn.to/3uD2Tec To achieve just the Vista and Mesa, you may just need to buy them separately.
@@dadverb Having arteritis in my spine and therefor reduced mobility the height of the Stokke is more comfortable. Also its much better for public transport as with the handle folded it has a footprint of a buggy. In the event of needing to fold it fully - also better for my back as theres no need to bend down. For off road trips or large shopping we got Trailz chassis - fits the same seat. That one has inflatable wheels and brilliant suspension. Now that the little monster is walking and doesn't want to spent much time in the pram apart from naps we sold both and got Micralite Fastfold - off road buggy that fits in luggage rack on trains and can be folded and dragged one handed in about 3 seconds when not in use - you should definitely check that one out! My advice is - buy high end preloved (its better for the planet) that way you don't need to commit and its easier to switch when your requirements change. I litterally paid £500 when my son was being expected and since then I am on the 3rd pram/buggy without investing any more.
@@Sarlota Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of your thoughts on that. Really appreciate these insights and understanding new perspectives.
Hi girl! I have both the 2019 Cruz and the 2020 V2 Cruz (one for me, one for the grandparents) and they're VERY similar to each other, as well as the Vista V2. The 2020 Cruz is slightly bigger than the 2019, and the wheels and basket are larger and exactly like the Vistas now, along with the cross-support bar that cuts the basket in half. This is the main reason why I enjoy the 2019 Cruz better (no cross bar); the bar is personally annoying! And obviously, the Cruz is only capable of being a single seat stroller, and the bassinet must be purchased separately. If you're on the fence between the two models, most BuyBuyBaby's have the 2019 on clearance for about $460 (to make room for the new model), but the extra $200 for the 2020 V2 may be worth it for you if you want a slightly larger and updated stroller! Hope this helps (:
@@BrieePaigeeMusic Hi! Just read your review, great info. I've been doing my research and I'm almost sold on the Cruz V2. But I have a question, the previous version of the bassinet be used in the Cruz V2, or do I need to buy the V2 version as well?
I love the Vista!!! Im debating of getting this stroller now that im having a second kid. I have the uppababy minu and have a 2 1/2 yr old kid. In wondering if i still need this double stroller? Do they still need a stroller at age 3?
Good question. It honestly depends on your little one. Some like sitting while others are too squirmy and like to toddle around. I'd say a good alternate option is to get the Cruz + Piggyback. That way it doesn't have to be as large as the Vista, and your 3 y/o still has the option to ride along if they get tired.

Good question. I haven't done dedicated reviews of the Pack n Plays, just minor mentions in a couple videos. My favorite thus far has been the Guava Lotus though.
I have had it for 4 months and its the best! if you have the budget and planning on two kids
!
Just got our mockingbird this week and I think it’s gonna be great for us. Yet here I am watching this review anyway haha. Killer Stanley shirt!
Mockingbird is solid dude! It'll be great for the family.
We just ordered the Mockingbird! What carseat did you pair with it?
@@taylorlinton03 We did the Britax B-Safe Ultra
Taylor Linton our first is due in January, we’re just really excited and getting a jump on some things. We are planning on going with the Britax B-Safe Ultra, as well.
i also bought the mocking bird and received it about 2 weeks ago. i LOVE it. I'm still waiting for baby to get here in october but so far, my toddler is obsessed and very comfortable in it!
Great video, thank you! Could you please clarify which lower adapter you used for the rumble seat? I'm noticing the lower adapters disclose its only for the bassinet and mesa. Thanks for the help!
Just got our vista 2 for our baby coming soon! Was wondering if you had any review or could do a review on the Beside me dreamer bassinet and bedside sleeper by Baby Delight? Thanks!
Great review Andrew! I recently purchased this and I couldn't be more happy. It definitely is the smoothest stroller I've used with my daughter. I also use the Doona for quick in and out errands when using the car, but this is great quality. I recently purchased the Guava Active Stroller for jogging and was wondering if your were thinking of reviewing it? Keep the great content up. Appreciation from a new dad.
Hi, thinking of switching to this from the Doona, do you feel like the maneuverability is about the same?
@@kristajohnson4717 In reality the Doona lasts about 1 year for your child, so you’d have to switch to something else, and the Uppababy definitely fits the bill. It truly is the smoothest ride in terms of the higher end strollers, as well as built sturdily with the option to upgrade to a second seat, or third via board. You’d be making a sound choice. Good luck in your search.
I had the evenflo xpand stroller. And itw as by far the WORST stroller I owned. The front wheel would violently shake and the wheels would dent and cause the shaking. EvenFlo didn't do anything about it, they sent me replacement wheels, same thing happened. I also had Graco Click Connect, and that was VERY NOISY! I hated it. I had the Graco Jogger. Which I LOVED! However, I didn't want two different brands with 2 different carseats, especially since the jogger would only fit in my daily driver and not the other vehicle. I opted (after spending $1,200 on 3 different strollers all together!) to get the UppaBaby Vista V2 and Mesa carseat. And I have never looked back. This was the stroller I wanted from the very beginning, and I should have just bit the bullet and got it then, but I was on the fence about spending that kind of cash on a single stroller. I ended up doing it anyway on 3 different strollers, 2 of which I was very unhappy with. The lesson I took away from it? Always go with my first choice.
@DadVerb we’d love to see a video demoing how to get through the airport with the uppababy vista V2 (we have a 2.5 year old who’s too big for the rumble seat, and a 3.5 month old). You don’t even have to take the video in the airport- just guide us how to navigate the TSA security checkpoint with one of these stroller beasts!
3:31 nice hospital room!
Can you do a Thule Urban Glide 2 review? Jogging stroller recommendations are a bit harder to find. Love your content!
If you haven’t got it by now you need to it’s the best
Am I the only one that loved the wife's tan handbag 👜🙋😆 can I what brand that was? Looked georgous ❤️
Saw you on Sean Cannell’s ad for VRA and headed over here. Subscribed and liked. Looking forward to watching your videos and finding quality items for my littles.
Great and thorough video. Why did you choose the Vista over the Cybex Gazelle or the Cybex Priam? These are the two I’m torn between.
Hi @dadVerb !!! have you tried the Gazelle S from Cybex? What do you think about it comparing with the Vista?
Will you be reviewing the Cybex Gazelle S double?
Great review! Very impressed with your video and how detailed your explanation is. Subscribed and will be following you from now on. Thank you!!
I just want to say that we liked the video and went ahead to purchase the uppa baby v2 via the links the author used to help him, however poshbaby(the store in the links) have screwed us over for taking 8 days to ship within the us where amazon prime was 1 day shipment...they mentioned no where in the order confirmation that it will take them 7 to 8 days to deliver, and we left the us before the shipment arrives...so the video is good, the store (poshbaby) is terrible.
When canopy is extended, there is no flap to close the ventilation at the top. How much sun gets through and is that part rain resistant? Wish they added a flap for that window.
Hi Andrew, do you prefer the Fox 5, Reef or Vista V2 ? Single child, suburbs and would love to use it all terrain too
Thanks for the review. Joie, Graco, Nuna are all owned by the same company now.
Great video, esp the quality! I've been debating between this, city select, Graco modes click connect (their infant car seats have barely any head/neck support which really bothers me). Have you ever tried the City Select?
How does this match up with the Veer Switchback? Any reviews on the Veer? I’m looking for a double for Twins
Just ordered today, credit to this video!
Get one used. They are just as good and you save on cost for budget folks.
Honestly this stroller is almost perfect... like if the crossbar wasn’t there and they had two full toddler seats. This seems like a dream stroller! Also best bassinet!
Would you recommend any silver cross products their of higher quality strollers as well into their double strollers.
Very much agree. Based on my limited time I had with Silver Cross Wave, I loved it but I haven't been able to go in-depth on in. Regarding compacts, I got to play with the Jet a bit more but I have to say I prefer my Minu.
Nice video brother! Can’t believe you got all these views but no likes! This video was good! Thanks for the info!!
You should make a video about the joolz geo2 I use it now already for over 2 years and it still rides how I got it the first time, it's around same like this one but with a large storage what change to seat for second kid. But they have side packs to compensate that or the driving board too. Its overall beautiful practical stroller and only thing I dont like is the stretches what every stroller gets.
Have you done a video on the Veer Cruiser? What are your thoughts on that?
Good work bro , made my decision easy... Thank you.
$1000 pricetag?! I wish I lived in America, stuff is always cheaper there 😔
Stanley!!! Freshest shirt ever.
Weird question...is the Vista V2 toddler seat compatible with the older Vista 2015-2019 frame?
New viewer here and I already really enjoy your videos. Before this I was wondering what the hype was around this stroller and the Jordan Lebron and Kobe reference made that very plain and relatable. LOL
Before this I was really sold on the Baby Jogger City Select. I would assume you would put it in the category with the Mockingbird, But how would you compare it? Did you add it to your research at all? I can see that the fold here is better than the BJCS for 1, but it seems most of the other features are similar.
Andrew, do you have an opinion on travel umbrella strollers with good sun protection by chance?
Can the full stroller fold and fit into the trunk of a sedan?
Are you not able to put the toddler seat in the front forward facing position?
I’ve been seeing videos of brake malfunctions. Have you heard anything about that?
Interesting. I hadn't heard of any brake issues and haven't experienced anything odd on my end. Will keep you updated if I learn more though.
Thanks for the review! Any chance you would review the peg Perego Ypsi? Or the boutique version the Agio Z4? They recently became double compatible and I’ve seen it compared to the vista.
I can't speak to the Agio just yet as I haven't been able to test it, but the Ypsi is a good option for sure. At this very moment it's on sale at a great price and I'd pick it up. But because it's normally $800, it's kind of in the Vista's price range and I'd make the case to go with Uppa between those two. Little things I've noted that I felt could be improved were the fold and brakes. It folds like the Colugo Complete but I wish it was a tad slimmer. And at that price point, the brakes didn't feel "premium" like you'd see with Nuna, Uppa and co. Just my two cents.
I have the peg perego ypsi and I love it. I got it on sale in January for less than $600. It’s worth it if you’re getting it at that price.
The negatives- No tray for you or the baby. I’m also not the biggest fan of the storage compartment. It works but could be better.
It rides very smooth and is a quality stroller.
We love the all black look and it looks like you went with Jake for your first UB, did you guys just want a change with the V2?
Hey Andrew, I'm not sure if your family is outdoorsy and enjoy cycling, but I was wondering if you could review some bike trailer/stroller options (Thule coaster XT, Thule chariot lite/cross/sport, for example). There are almost no decent reviews in that category on youtube and I'd appreciate your input. :)
Nuna Mixx Next! Any plans on reviewing it? Looks the same as the prior Nuna but from what I’ve seen it has a smaller footprint when you fold it.
Nuna demi grow or uppa baby Vista/ Cruz? And why?!
If anyone plans on traveling, get the silver frame bc the black one I just took out of the box to set up baby isn’t even here yet and it’s scratched.
Has anyone tried to replace the uppababy vista canopy with the vista 2 canopy replacement? Does it fit??
I placed an order for the mockingbird when I originally wanted the nuna mixx next, but thought mb mockingbird isn't that bad of an option. Now I'm thinking about getting the Vista 😭 (the mockingbird is also 8-9 weeks backed up)
Hi there! I was wondering if the infant bassinet can fit with either the extra toddler seat or the original one it comes with? Or can the bassinet feature only be used independently? Thank you!
You can see a list of the Vista's configurations here: uppababy.com/au/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2022/02/220225-vista-configuration-guide-AU.pdf
Curious about mockingbird accessory comparability. Do you happen to know if the chicco car seat connector for the mockingbird fits in the vista?
I’ve had the mockingbird for a year. I’m selling it and probably going to buy the vista instead. I have all of these accessories and I’d really like to be able to use them.
Compatibility*
got the peg perego ypsi due to the back wheels are narrower
My wife wants this...I don’t mind the price if its worth it. What do you think?
Can you use the bassinet for sleep?
Hello which one would you recommend for twins the uppa baby vista or the nunna Demmi grow ?
While I personally love Uppa for littles who are a couple years apart, I think you may fare better with the Demi Grow for twins. In the long run, the Rumble seat for the Uppa will be too small for one of your kids while the other will still have space. The Demi Grow isn't as long and has a slightly easier push when fully loaded. The main downside is you lose your basket space when used as a double. If that's a dealbreaker, then go with the V2.
Please do a review on the pronto wagon!
Great review, we have the UPPAbaby Vista and love it. Well worth the money.
Do you have to pull handle all the way up to fold stroller? I feel like handle would get scratched and beat up from hitting the ground when doing that...?
To self stand the handlebar needs to be fully extended. There are two rubber nubs that flank the middle portion of the handlebar which are designed to make contact with the ground so the leather doesn't have to.
Can the tire come off too when folding?
Hi! New mama here! Currently pregnant :) we just bought the vista stroller, we also bought the Graco extend fit convertible car seat which grows with them, from newborn to age 4, because I figured we could get the most use of that one...do you know if there is an adapter for that car seat to fit the vista stroller? Or should I just buy the infant car seat for that stroller? We wanted to have 2 car seats anyways
Hi! In the same boat with the Graco convertible and wondering the same - if we should just buy the Mesa infant car seat along with the Graco or get the adaptor. I know this comment was five months ago, but Id still love to know your thoughts if you’ve decided!
Can the toddler seat attach to the lower base? Not the rumble seat
Unfortunately, no. They have slightly different dimensions.
I was hoping they’d make this compatible with Britax car seats 😭
Same!!! It’s one of the safest car seats, so why wouldn’t they!
Have you done the review for the Key fit? I am really looking at getting the bravo LE travel system .
I have this system. For the price, I feel it's a very nice system. Let me give my opinion in the hopes of assisting another fellow parent.
Pros- it is a smaller and more narrow size than other strollers which makes it easier to pick up and maneuver, especially in stores.
* The cover is fairly low (though not as low as this Uppa baby one) but it does close completely with the infant carseat on to cover-up baby entirely. It has a mesh for ventilation on the main stroller.
* Wheels are very comfortable and easy to maneuver. They seem pretty steady and even though it's not a running stroller, it is perfectly comfortable for extended strolls as my husband and I do them often (baby is 9 months for reference)
* it has decent cargo space in the back, 3 cup holders (2 for parents, one for baby) and a zippered compartment (for smaller things like keys and stuff)
* The infant car seat is very comfortable and feels very protective of baby. Also all parts are removable and washable, though the material is also very easy to clean with wipes.
* You can buy just the base and use the car seat from car to car.
Now with the cons:
* No bassinet or full recliner. I was very interested in this, however, the rep at Buy Buy Baby made me feel like it wouldn't be as useful as I thought. I now realize he was wrong. I wish I would have had it for naps for baby when I am visiting family or just to be able to take her without needing to also haul the carseat.
* The handles do not move in position so you can see baby in stroller from both sides. The only way to face baby is if you're using the car seat. Otherwise, the baby is facing away. I kind of dislike this as a cheaper little stroller we bought for the in-laws house actually had this capability and it reclines both ways and it cost less than $100. For the price, this would be a great feature to have.
* The infant stroller, while very comfortable and safe, is also fairly heavy. As I use it every day, I am now dealing with this frequently (my poor tendinitis is feeling it). Part of that is my 18lb baby though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt!
* Base, though convenient, is also pretty pricey. We opted on just buying a full size car seat for our other car and do not regret that decision. We were gifted one though, and my MIL uses that one for picking up baby sometimes. That is convenient since I just drop off baby with car seat everytime and if she has an emergency, she has something she can use.
Hope this helps!!
Mrs DV thank you 🙏 for taking the time to type this all out!
@@RoseVampireGirl4 you're welcome!! It always helped me when I was pregnant to have other parent's input, so I hope to pass that on now to others! We live and learn to help others!
@@mrsdv You nailed it!
@@dadverb Thank you! Figured I'd give my input in case you can't make a video!
Though we are now looking at another convertible car seat on a budget and would love to get your input on that since many parents might be needing one as well!
Theoretically, could you configure the toddler seat and the rumble seat to face each other.
Technically yes, but the child's feet in the upper seat will be right in front of the child in the rumble seat, so I wouldn't recommend that configuration.
What about the veer , by tactical baby carrier?
So helpful! Thank you
LMBO 😂😂 Love that ending! Enjoying my V2.
What color is this?
Does anyone know if this stroller is available to purchase without the bassinet ? My baby is 4 months and he doesn’t want to lay down lol
This is a great review!
Buy used from Facebook marketplace. There’s quite a few on there
Hi there! I love your review but I’m torn between the Nuna Mixx Next and Uppababy Vista V2. Which one do you think is better? My baby is coming in about 9 weeks and it’s our first baby. I’m male and not too tall at only 5ft5 and I feel like the Nuna Mixx Next is easier to maneuver and its size is smaller too. Thank you in advance!
How do you feel the Vista compares to the Nuna Demi Grow?
Very very similar. It's kind of a toss up, but I still lean toward Vista. Personally the thing that bothers me about the Demi Grow is when used as a double, the placement of the second seat is basically in the basket. Kids actually love it, but its a bit odd for me and you lose some of your basket space and access.
Thanks that sums up what we drilled down on pro’s and cons as well.
I’m comparing and in debate about the same 2 systems. The Nuna second seat is so low . Issue I’m worried about is what is best for twins that will be the same size? Also what do you think about the Mesa’s car seat cover? Read a few reviews it doesn’t provide much coverage for babies
Can yous add the link for UK aswell please
Do you know if there is a way to purchase the stroller and the infant car seat instead of the bassinet?
Good questions. The only set I'm aware of is either the stroller-bassinet combo or the total travel system that comes with The Vista, Mesa and bassinet - amzn.to/3uD2Tec
To achieve just the Vista and Mesa, you may just need to buy them separately.
Does the toddler seat lay all the way back? For example if my toddler falls asleep?
Yes, it can recline all the way back for a lay-flat angle if desired.
I only have one child. Had Vista - changed to Stokke Xplory nine months later...
Hi, msy I ask why you decided to chang it? and how are u liking the xplory?
Nice, what made you make the switch?
@@dadverb Having arteritis in my spine and therefor reduced mobility the height of the Stokke is more comfortable. Also its much better for public transport as with the handle folded it has a footprint of a buggy. In the event of needing to fold it fully - also better for my back as theres no need to bend down. For off road trips or large shopping we got Trailz chassis - fits the same seat. That one has inflatable wheels and brilliant suspension. Now that the little monster is walking and doesn't want to spent much time in the pram apart from naps we sold both and got Micralite Fastfold - off road buggy that fits in luggage rack on trains and can be folded and dragged one handed in about 3 seconds when not in use - you should definitely check that one out! My advice is - buy high end preloved (its better for the planet) that way you don't need to commit and its easier to switch when your requirements change. I litterally paid £500 when my son was being expected and since then I am on the 3rd pram/buggy without investing any more.
@@Sarlota Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of your thoughts on that. Really appreciate these insights and understanding new perspectives.
Could you do a review of thr uppababy Cruz v2?
It's on my hit list!
Hi girl! I have both the 2019 Cruz and the 2020 V2 Cruz (one for me, one for the grandparents) and they're VERY similar to each other, as well as the Vista V2. The 2020 Cruz is slightly bigger than the 2019, and the wheels and basket are larger and exactly like the Vistas now, along with the cross-support bar that cuts the basket in half. This is the main reason why I enjoy the 2019 Cruz better (no cross bar); the bar is personally annoying! And obviously, the Cruz is only capable of being a single seat stroller, and the bassinet must be purchased separately. If you're on the fence between the two models, most BuyBuyBaby's have the 2019 on clearance for about $460 (to make room for the new model), but the extra $200 for the 2020 V2 may be worth it for you if you want a slightly larger and updated stroller! Hope this helps (:
@@BrieePaigeeMusic Hi! Just read your review, great info. I've been doing my research and I'm almost sold on the Cruz V2. But I have a question, the previous version of the bassinet be used in the Cruz V2, or do I need to buy the V2 version as well?
Love your shirt!!
Stroller back does not appear to recline for sleeping babies and toddlers.
Great video! As they always are 😊
Dope video. Baby coming soon and I got one from nana.
Nuna is legit. Absolutely love everything from that brand. Good pickup.
@@dadverb no Nana picked up the vista 2019. I didn't realize there was vista 2... Now I want to trade 😭
Is this one at the beginning the Emmett color? Would you say it’s gender neutral?
So worth it
I love the Vista!!! Im debating of getting this stroller now that im having a second kid. I have the uppababy minu and have a 2 1/2 yr old kid. In wondering if i still need this double stroller? Do they still need a stroller at age 3?
Good question. It honestly depends on your little one. Some like sitting while others are too squirmy and like to toddle around. I'd say a good alternate option is to get the Cruz + Piggyback. That way it doesn't have to be as large as the Vista, and your 3 y/o still has the option to ride along if they get tired.
Top Notch
