 "Great for newborns-love this stroller!" 2010-02-05
By Rayreiko (Washington DC)
Preface: We were fortunate enough to receive this stroller as a shower gift, but knowing what I know now I think paying almost $600 for this stroller is completely worth it. In addition, I have no prior extended stroller experience, so my observations are from a neophyte's perspective.



Our infant is 4 weeks old so I can't speak to the seat functionality of the stroller yet, but as a first-time mother who lives in a 1-bedroom urban apartment where space is a premium, this stroller has been a real boon. Yesterday, we went to the grocery store and I was able to fit 3 full reusable grocery bags in the undercarriage storage compartment. I'm just learning about all of the stroller doodads and such (like hooks and caddies) and I'm not sure that we need them except perhaps to have an extra place to hold the diaper bag.



Things I love about the stroller:



1)Ease of folding: I'm 5'5", medium build and fairly fit, but when we tested other strollers (Bugaboo Frog and Chameleon, the Bob Revolution, Orbit and Stokke Xplory) they were quite cumbersome to fold. I found that the Vista was the easiest to fold and store. It's not exactly a 1-handed fold like the City Mini (which we considered), but it's quick and easy. We do have a car, so when I am alone and have to wrangle the car seat with the baby and the stroller, it's so nice to know that I can quickly and easily get the frame folded and in the back of our car.



2)The wheels: We've had 3 snowfalls since our baby was born so I've definitely tested the stroller wheels in difficult conditions. Our city's sidewalks are also incredibly uneven, so combined with snow, it makes navigating the stroller challenging. I'm a novice at stroller navigation, but feel fairly comfortable taking the baby out even when the sidewalks are wet and snowy. The baby seems comfortable even when we hit some rough sidewalk patches. We live at the top of a steep hill and this may be a biased observation, but I feel like the Vista does seem to "ride" better than the other strollers I've seen in our neighborhood. (we live in a heavily Bugaboo and Graco stroller 'hood.)



3)The car seat adapter: this is an add-on, but I am so glad that we invested in it. We have a Chicco keyfit30 car seat and the adapter is essential. The carseat and baby are quite heavy to lift together. With the adapter, I can manage both the car seat and baby on my own. In addition, we have more transportation options when we walk around our neighborhood; we can either use the bassinet or the car seat. It's great to have the additional flexibility and not need to have a snap and go.



4) Sturdy but manageable: I like the ruggedness of the frame, but it's lightweight enough for me to manage. I had a C-section so lifting things isn't as easy for me as others probably, but I haven't had a problem with lifting any of the Vista components.



5) The undercarriage storage compartment: this is one of the biggest advantages of this stroller. You can fit a lot of items in the storage compartment. When you live in the city, it's invaluable because we don't rely on our car as much to get our day-to-day errands accomplished. I can stop by the grocery store, do some light/moderate shopping and stow everything underneath.





6) The carseat rain/sun/wind shield: Another add-on and worth the $20. I'm a bit sensitive about germs and people touching the baby when she's still so young. The mesh rainshield lets the world see the baby, but keeps them at a good distance. Plus, it does its obvious job of keeping the elements out.



7) Aesthetic/Color: not an objective view, but I think the styling, color and quality of the fabric is impeccable. I love that the bassinet interior fabric is made from soy fibers and organic cotton. The orange color is quite distinctive. I hope that it improves driver's visibility of us as we cross major streets so that they are more careful.



Things I'd improve in future models:



1) Width of frame: it's a tad wider than I'd like, so sometimes it can be a bit tight to get through smaller aisles or doors. I've never gotten stuck though.



2)Bassinet bugshield: it looks cool in the marketing photos, but it's a mess to deal with. There should be more strategically placed velcro attachments. The shield sort of flops around once you take off one side and the top part always falls down. I wish the design was similar to the car seat rainshield which uses a frame system and elastic.



3) Bassinet length/width: I'd add an inch in width and 1.5" in length. Our baby isn't gigantic, (she was born at 6 lbs, 4 oz., 19.5" and is now 7 lbs, 6 oz, 20.5")but I feel like we won't be able to use the bassinet after 3 months since the bassinet is a bit narrow and short.





Overall, though I'd highly recommend this stroller to anyone who is considering a travel stroller system.

 "Spills drinks everywhere" 2009-12-09
By ockeghem (Vancouver, BC Canada)
As the other reviews have noted, this cup holder does not hold drinks well. I tend to use it for hot drinks, especially this time of year, and I can't put the drinks in the holder until they're more than half empty -- otherwise they'll spill everywhere. If you intend to use this cup holder on any sort of sidewalk with any drink that doesn't have a tightly closed lid, it won't work: Any bounce from the sidewalk, and your drink will spray down the side of the stroller.



I haven't had any trouble with the chains breaking yet in the six weeks I've been using it, but the construction does seem flimsy, so I can see where that might happen in future. The flip-up design enabled by the chains is a nice idea in theory, but doesn't work in practice.



Interestingly, my cup holder came with a warning sticker on the bottom that you're not supposed to use it with hot drinks -- I guess this is UPPAbaby's acknowledgement that the design doesn't work because it spills and thus could be dangerous with hot drinks. But why waste money on a cup holder that will only hold some of the drinks you take along? It makes more sense to buy something that securely holds any drink you might want, instead. I'm going to be replacing it with the Jolly Jumper caddy.

 "Wish I'd bought two..." 2009-12-06
By R. Smith
Works great, comes off and back on easily or folds up when not in use. I wasn't sure I would need this when we bought it but I use it all the time. The only thing I wish is that we'd bought two so when my husband is with me, we can both have our drinks in them. Definitely recommend.

 "PIECE OF JUNK!" 2009-12-05
By Cupid
Don't buy this! Total waste of money. Chains always break. Drinks spill. Cups break. Such a mess. Sticks out so far you can't fit through standard doorways. Go with a Jolly Jumper or Joovy Organizer instead. Save yourself the headache.

 "horribly flawed" 2009-10-16
By Amy Olszak
Like most everyone else who owns the UPPAbaby Vista, I HATE the cupholder. I am always bumping it on things and it falls off... a couple of times with a drink in it, once with a $4 latte that spilled everywhere. :-( It just simply sticks out too far and isn't secure enough, though it is nice that it folds against the side when not in use (or you can just take it off completely). It would have been better if it attached to the inside of the handle, not the outside. But since I haven't found any other attachable cup holders that work I'm still using this one. I'm just more mindful not to get too close to anything on the side with my drink, and try to use only bottles with caps. No more cups without lids.

 "Poor design but OK after some modification." 2009-09-17
By Mitchell Huang (Jersey City, NJ)
The chain fell apart on this cup holder as many other customer alluded to. Instead of returning it, I went to Lowes and purchased some replacement chains where the links are welded together. 10ft section costs about $8. I spend about 30 min and replaced all of the chains and it now works very well. However, Uppababy should have used better quality material for something that costs $24.
