UPPAbaby Cruz Vs UPPAbaby Vista Reviews

The stroller is one of those things whose quality you should never compromise. It’s the same with car seats, high chairs and swings – it’s not about how much you can save but your baby’s safety.

And for this post, we’ll go ahead and review UPPAbaby Cruz vs Vista. Mostly because of the price, it’s hard to buy, test and purchase another if it doesn’t suit you and your baby.

What Makes The UPPAbaby Cruz Better?

It’s good for travelling

One of the things I love about it is you don’t need any adapters because it’s compatible with the MESA infant car seat.

I always go for multi-functional baby gears because you’ll never know when it will come in handy.

It’s user-friendly

    First off, you don’t need tools to assemble it, and it will take just a few minutes.

    Second, since it’s compact, you can easily manoeuvre it through crowded malls, narrow doors or even at the airport.

    I find this a crucial part when choosing the right product because we’re all here for the convenience, aren’t we?

    I’m not a big fan of bulky strollers unless they have other features that make up for the weight.

    But for this particular product, it’s ideal for those who don’t like the burden of pushing a stroller that’s bigger and heavier than they can handle – this goes out to mums who are always on-the-go who travel with the baby alone even if it’s just for running quick errands to the grocery.

    Third, storing it is a breeze since it doesn’t take up a lot of space. You can just put it under the bed or let it stand on its own.

The storage basket can hold up to 25 pounds without getting in the way of the ride

Large storage can get tricky because sometimes, it gets too heavy that it compromises the safety of the baby.

That doesn’t happen here. Not only is it roomy enough to accommodate a diaper bag, groceries and some of your essentials but it stays stable and secure.

It keeps your child comfortable

It’s cushioned and spacious. Your kid will enjoy riding on it even through rougher terrains and for toddlers, there are plenty of riding options like fully reclined, completely upright, backwards or forwards.

What Makes The UPPAbaby Vista Better?

It’s versatile

I did mention earlier about loving those multi-function items. Well, this is one of them.

Because of the multiple configuration options, you can use it as part of a travel system (attaching a MESA infant car seat is practically no-sweat), or transport up to three kids with just one stroller.

If you have twins, you can convert it into two seats. Or let’s say you have three kids, two of them could use the stroller, and the other one can ride on the ride-along board. Seriously, that’s a lot of usage with one product

It keeps the child safe

I know it may be way too heavy and bulky for some but one thing it will give you is peace of mind – that alone is priceless.

Whether you’re strolling in the park, pavement or rougher grounds, you know it’s stable, secure and still offers a comfortable ride at that.

It has extra features

You’re paying a lot more for the Vista than the Cruz so naturally, you’d expect something more and UPPAbaby delivered – you don’t have to purchase the bassinet separately.

So what you will get when you buy apart from the aluminium frame, bumper bar and wheels are the bug shields, storage bag, toddler seat, and rain shield. That’s a lot if you ask me.

It grows with your child

Both the canopy and telescoping handlebar are easily adjustable which can accommodate babies up to toddlerhood.

I know the price point's not really within everyone’s budget and to be honest, it’s probably the biggest downfall here. But think of it as a long-term investment.

Aside from the fact that you don’t have to purchase another one for your second or third baby, the durability ensures you don’t have to worry about wear and tear and therefore, there's no need to buy a new stroller.

The Winner Is…

I would go for UPPAbaby Cruz for the most part because it’s not going to break the bank, but it has the same stability, security and durability of the Vista.

But, having said that, it’s also lighter in weight, and that makes it easy to navigate public places.

Having the Vista, you have to make sure there’s always a second adult to assist you when folding or unfolding because it’s mighty heavy.

If you’re on the petite side, it might not be a good fit for you.

At the end of the day, do what works for you and your family. If you think the Vista meets all your needs, then go for it.
