If you're in the market for a high-quality stroller, you’ve likely encountered the UPPAbaby Vista series, known for its durability, versatility, and style. With the Vista V2 and the newly released Vista V3 available, choosing the right model can be a bit overwhelming. In this post, we'll break down the key differences and similarities between the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Vista V3 to help you make an informed decision.

1. Design and Aesthetics

Vista V2:

• The Vista V2 boasts a sleek, modern design with a streamlined look. It’s available in several color options, emphasizing clean lines and a sophisticated aesthetic.

Vista V3:

• The Vista V3 builds on the modern design but introduces subtle updates, such as the full-grain REACH certified leather details. The new model emphasizes a refined, premium look with upgraded fabrics and finishes.
• It offers a new range of color options and finishes, allowing for more personalization and style choices. There are 3 new fashions being released with the Vista V3. Savannah is a Pearl Gray Jacquard fabric with a Carbon Frame and Chestnut Leather accents. Callum is a Stone Blue fabric with a Silver Frame and Sand Leather accents. Kenzi is a Mystic Aqua fabric with a Carbon Frame and Saddle Leather accents. 

2. Seating and Reclining

Vista V2:

• The Vista V2 features a reversible seat that can be adjusted to multiple recline positions, providing comfort for both infants and toddlers.
• The seat fabric is designed for easy cleaning and has a high-quality feel.

Vista V3:

• The V3 offers an upgraded seat with a new removeable padded insert for cool days and a mesh back for better ventilation.
• The seat fabric has been upgraded for even easier cleaning and increased comfort.

3. Bassinet Inclusion

Vista V2:

• One of the key differences of the Vista V2 is that it includes a bassinet as part of the package. This provides a cozy, flat-sleeping environment for newborns and is perfect for parents looking for an all-in-one solution from the start.

Vista V3:

• The Vista V3 does not come with a bassinet included in the base package. Instead, it requires the purchase of the bassinet separately if you want to use it for a newborn. This allows for more flexibility and the option to purchase it without the bassinet at a lower price. Find the Bassinet V3 here.

4. Foldability and Storage

Vista V2:

• The V2 features a one-step fold mechanism that’s convenient but can be a bit bulky when folded.
• Storage space in the basket is generous, though the overall folded size might take up more room in the trunk.

Vista V3:

• The V3 introduces an effortless one-step and self-standing fold that makes it easier to store in smaller spaces.
• Enhanced basket access and organization features make it more practical for parents on the go.

5. Maneuverability and Suspension

Vista V2:

• Equipped with an all-wheel suspension system that provides a smooth ride.
• Handles well on various terrains but may require more effort on rough surfaces.

Vista V3:

• Features an enhanced FlexRide suspension system for an even smoother ride, reducing the impact of uneven surfaces.
• Improved maneuverability makes it easier to handle, especially in tight spaces and crowded areas.

6. Price

Vista V2:

• The V2 is priced at $1,444.99 with the inclusion of the bassinet.

Vista V3:

• The V3 is priced lower at $1,199.99 due to the bassinet not being included anymore.

Conclusion

Both the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and V3 are exceptional strollers, each offering unique features that cater to different needs and preferences. The Vista V2 stands out with its included bassinet, making it a solid choice for those seeking an all-in-one solution from the start. On the other hand, the Vista V3 offers enhanced functionality and a more refined design, though it requires a separate purchase for the bassinet.

When choosing between the two, consider what aspects are most important to you—whether it’s the included bassinet, the updated design, or the improved maneuverability of the Vista V3. Either way, you’re investing in a stroller built to accommodate your growing family and adapt to your lifestyle.
