Hi,

My husband and I are on the verge of ordering this pushchair from the Uk. We love the huge basket, the elevated height of the seat, the beautiful bassinet and grow-with-your-family options, plus the sun-friendly extras.

But! I just wondered if anyone out there already had one that could give us some pointers. We were originally torn between this and the Baby Jogger CIty Select but discounted the latter due to its non-off-roading capabilities.

Where did you order it from? Any niggles? We are essentially buying it blind so it's a bit scary.
Hope someone can help xxx :D

Ok, I don't seem to be able to do that. Maybe I'm an idiot?! <em>edited by sandybaby on 24/01/2012</em>

We have the uppababy vista and we love it (have had it for nearly two years)! I did a lot of research and it suited our needs perfectly (my DH loves it because he is tall and the telescopic push bar means he never kicks the buggy when pushing it). I ordered it from the states and we had it shipped over here. We have traveled extensively with it, so it definitely stands up to airport/travel abuse. My favorite part is the huge undercarriage--I take it shopping and I never have to transfer little one to a buggy. One thing to note--it is big. Not unreasonably big, but definitely more substantial than some of the European-style buggies. Any other questions? Happy to meet you and let you have a looksy :) Also, we ordered a couple of inexpensive add-ons to increase functionality (a cup holder and a little sack) and I highly recommend them (I can sip on coffee while pushing LO and have easy access to little things like snacks, wipes, tissues, etc). We didn't get the uppababy version, but ordered these instead: http://www.amazon.com/Jolly-Jumper-Stroller-Caddy-Handlebar/dp/B000JQ4B3C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1327251356&sr=8-2 http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Cargo-Stroller-Organizer-Black/dp/B000X2HC9W/ref=pd_sbs_ba_1

Thanks Sal, Yeah, I'm pretty happy with my selection now. I have fallen for the Vista big time - just need to decide which colour! My mom is coming out here just before the birth so I hope she'll be able to bring it with her. Thanks for the input xxx Much appreciated ;)

Hi Sandy, I am planning on buying an uppababy vista sometime in march. I have done a lot of research on strollers and definitely think this is the best stroller out there. I actually met a mom with 3 children in NYC who had the baby jogger city and said that her favorite stroller was the uppa but unfortunately her older child no longer fit in the rumble seat so she had to change strollers. So many moms have said this stroller is so easy to push and never gets stuck and it isnt as heavy and bulky as some other stroller's. It is also much cheaper than the Bugaboo cameleon and the strokke! I love that it comes with the bassinet so you don't have to pay extra for it. The 2011 model is discontinued and you can order it for a very cheap price online. There is a new 2012 model coming out in February that has a few new features and that is the one I will be ordering. My mother will be bringing my stroller from the states when she visits before the delivery. I don't think you can find the stroller anywhere in Dubai and will have to order it from UK, Canada or US. So if you can get it from the UK i really think you should stick with the vista instead of the city jogger! HTH <em>edited by Sal 123 on 21/01/2012</em>
