Please join the discussions in our friendly expat community.The updated version of UPPAbaby's first all-inclusive single to double pushchair that can accommodate twins. Disappointing handling & manoeuvrability, not ideal for smaller spaces & doorways, issue with brake stalling (especially when used as double), paint work scratched easily.
Easy to assemble and fold, fantastic spacious shopping basket (when used as a single buggy), seat can be reclined onehandedly, beautifully cosy carrycot, pivoting Bumper bar, great useful inclusive extras. The UPPAbaby Vista has become an iconic pushchair both here and in the US in a very short space of time – and building up a vast celebrity following in the process. Originally founded in the US, Uppababy pride itself on creating high quality pushchairs that will grow with your family, fitting the needs and style of parents and providing comfort to children from birth to toddling years. The original Vista model won a plethora of awards and fought its corner up against stiff competition from the likes of the much loved Bugaboo Cameleon & iCandy Peach pushchairs. With its new incarnation boasting bigger, better enhancements, it looks likely to raise the stakes again, not only as a single but a double buggy too. You can buy the UPPAbaby Vista at John Lewis, or Kiddicare
One of the most notable improvements with the new Vista is the ability to have a variety of changeable seating combinations (both front and rear facing). As well as being able to carry a baby and toddler like the older Vista, (with the addition of the Rumble Seat) this new model can now carry two infant carrycots – making it a double buggy. It’s perfect for parents with twins or two children of different ages and the piggy back board is a welcome accessory for anyone with an additional child. And unlike the original buggy, this new version comes fully equipped with sun shield, rain covers, insect nets and car seat adaptors included in the price and the single Vista comes with a carrycot and seat unit. It’s worth noting here, that if you want a new Vista for two twins, you will have to buy the second carrycot at the additional price of £164.99. I was surprised at the ease and speed of assembling the Vista, everything seemed very intuitive and I had it up and ready to go, without the use of instructions, in minutes.
As the Vista has been improved to be used as a more effective double pushchair I was aware that it was slightly heavier than expected when used as a single buggy, although its aluminium/magnesium frame does make it lighter than some competitors. It is however, very sturdy and robust which did give me piece of mind. The adaptors for converting the buggy into a double are so easy to use and require no tools. They simply snap onto the frame (lower) or slot into existing ones (upper) unfortunately I found the paint work scratched very easily, each time I used them. The seating combinations I tested were toddler seat alone, bassinet alone and then toddler seat & bassinet together. With the latter I didn't feel comfortable not being able to see my youngest as the bassinet fits behind and under the toddler seat, so I had to keep stopping to check on my youngest. I think in the case of having a toddler and baby, a rumble seat would be a definite welcome addition as the eldest child can sit behind in it (yet still interact) while you can keep a better eye on the youngest.
Saying that, there are lots of great little thoughtful features that make using the Vista a pleasure. The toggles on the straps making them easy to adjust, the one button (easy to clean) pivoting bumper bar is brilliant for removing little ones with ease, the toddler seat can be reclined single-headedly, the extendable UV sunshade, the viewing panels in the hoods, and the snug fitting, well designed rain covers. To name just a few! The original rumble seat allowed you to turn the Vista into a double but had little features and was a bit of a tight squeeze. The new design reclines and can be used for rear or forward-facing, creating more comfort for little ones and adaptability for you. The bassinet is very comfy looking with its soft breathable mattress pad and although my little boy could just squeeze into it (he is getting too big now!) he looked very cosy and slept surprisingly well in it. It can be used for overnight sleeping, so is perfect for traveling or at home in place of a Moses basket.
And its quick release button means that you can easily remove your little one from the pushchair frame without waking them, and the extendible sun shade is, again, brilliant from protecting little eyes from harsh sunlight. One of the features I wasn’t too keen on were the strap pads, I felt the warning emblazoned on both of them wasn’t necessary, plus they would frequently come away from their Velcro fixtures and slide down out of place. The new one step fold system (somewhat similar to the Cruz) is just effortless to use. The Vista can be folded with the seat unit and adaptors intact although once folded it is not compact (this would be an issue for those with small car boots). Overall I found the handling and manoeuvrability of the Vista to be fair, but it was also disappointing and quite cumbersome at times. It was most arduous on uneven terrain (especially when pushing two children) and I experienced some resistance, especially when going around corners.
Curbs could be a real strain too (especially the high ones in my neighbourhood) and I really had to put my back into it. I found that I had quite an issue getting into smaller shops without double doors, onto some buses and navigating smaller spaces, as the back wheelbase is quite wide. I also found that the brake was a bit sticky and sometimes I would need to step on the pedal several times to engage or release it (a bit of a nightmare when trying to get off the bus in a hurry!) One of the main bugbears I had with the Vista (as with past pushchairs) was the button for adjusting the handle height, which is slap bang in the middle of them. This is not an issue when pushing with both hands but when you have a toddler hand to hold as well, I found it really compromises handling, especially with shopping underneath, but more so when used as a double. At times I found it quite hard to control the pushchair when used in this way. Yes, it really is! This was the first thing I noticed about the new Vista - the huge shopping basket, as did my two-year-old daughter who attempted to lie in it!
I was very pleased! If it is big enough to hold a toddler and has a 13.5kg weight limit you can imagine the bags it can hold (shopaholics take note!) Obviously this expanse of space is only when the pushchair is in single mode – it all changes when used as a double, the space drastically reduces. But there is still room for a change bag, a few bits and the integrated storage pockets are great for popping much needed essentials such as beakers and baby wipes.Maxi Cosi adaptors can also be purchased so you can use one, or two car seats with the Vista frame. It must also be noted that with the Vista the minimum & maximum weights for the toddler seat has changed from 3 months- 20kg to 6 months- 15kg. For £699.99 the Vista is pretty good value for money in terms of a double pushchair. When you compare it to the likes of the Bugaboo Donkey or iCandy Peach System it is the hands down winner in the price stakes. Even with all the issues I had, I did still find the Vista to be a nice pushchair with a lot to offer.
