Best Buggy rating:

Description:

The Uppababy Vista is a very stylish but very practical pushchair. All the essentials come in one box - the stroller chassis, toddler seat, carrycot, car seat adaptors, raincovers and insect nets. Light and easy to push with a large comfortable seat. An almost perfect pushchair!

Pros:

Everything comes in the box to get you started. The seat is roomy with lots of leg and head room. The seat parent or outward faces. There are 4 recline positions each ways including bolt upright for a toddler. The basket is large. The pushchair is light and very manoeuverable. Great sun visor. The Rumble seat and Piggyback board make this a pushchair which can grow with your family. Easy to fold. 'No kick' floating arch rear axle. Carrycot folds flat.

Cons:

The front and back of the basket are low and so items can fall out when fully loaded (but the basket is huge!). The main seat can apparently be used from 3 months, but its very buckety and we would advise using the carrycot until 6 months old.
