UPPAbaby Alta Questions & Answers

I think the Alta is also called the Cruz. Try this website. external link 

I know this is 6 months ago. The new cruz v2 at baby bunting fits, but if you go to the coolkidz website they also had the old 2016cruz bassinet and i got it for like 150 or something heinous. I dunno the difference tbh. Both are rated for overnight sleeping, they look the same size. I think the only real difference in the pram is the new cruz has a bigger basket below.

No this one can’t you need the vista for double

The ALTA can only hold one seat with an addition of a PiggyBack board for a second child, the VISTA is our double pram which can accommodate two children

The CRUZ Basket and the VISTA Basket are different - if you need spare parts you can contact our customer service team at support@coolkidz.net.au

Hi can you buy a replacement hood for the uppababy Alta it’s a 2016 model. Thanks

ALTA and CRUZ are singles. VISTA is their only double :)

Alta and Cruz are the same - from memory they just go by different names on different continents. You'll often see it being my sold as the "cruz/alta".

Not sure about adaptors.

So is it called Alta in

Cruz and Alta is the same. In north america they call it cruz. I personally never tried with maxi cosi but I am pretty sure with the right adopter you can fit it. Adopter can be source from online or via their website.

I found it too difficult to change nappies with the normal seat. The seat reclines well, but there's the groove in the seat for their bum which is the part that makes it too hard.

I have a golf gti which isn't a huge boot and the upperbaby Alta fits fine!

The tyres are foam filled which is great.

There are pockets in the basket and you can purchase a clip on drink holder from Uppa Baby.

I have the 2015 model, and I haven't noticed suspension issues, but then I have nothing to compare it to. It feels nice and smooth to me.

I bought the 2015 model hoping for the same thing - I can't compare it to the previous, but found it quite bumpy still. I also use it as you intend to, but still find you feel the bumps.

Definitely more compact than a lot of others. It's great when the seat is facing out as you can fold in one piece. You can then fold the foot rest under further with an extra click so that it's more compact. Another bonus is you don't have to empty the underneath basket to fold but of course this then makes it far less compact. I would think the GT is more compact though.

Much more compact than lots of the other ones in my mothers' group, fits in the boot of our Impreza hatch snugly. It's light to pick up, and when the seat's facing forward it all folds in one piece. Doesn't have huge wheels that lots of the other ones seem to. Haven't tried a GT to compare though.

Agree with the other posters. I have an Impreza too and its perfect in the boot. This is the only pram I've had so hard to compare with others but I love it

We have a forester and find it takes up a lot of space in the boot. It's not super small when folded. We previously had a steelcraft agile plus which folded up at half the size of the alta.

I've tried a citi mini GT and the alta is not as smooth as that! I wouldn't really say it's a good off terrain pram but it can manage. We mostly stick to footpaths etc so don't find it bothersome but if you were regularly on grass then it might be a pain. Doesn't steer as smoothly as the GT either. One handed push is far easier with the GT.

My daughter is 11kg and it's fine to push with her. When you add some groceries and the nappy bag it does get a little heavier to steer! But the GT wouldn't fit groceries and nappy bag so I guess that's the trade off. Good luck!

I purchased this pram because it is VERY light to lift and fits perfectly into the back of my Subaru Impreza hatchback. It is okay over grass and other uneven surfaces but probably not as good as the prams with the really big rubber tyres. I dont go off road really at all and definitely dont run with it so I cant make much comment on that. My daughter is only 8kg at the moment and when the pram is packed (a definite benefit with this pram) it still pushes quite well.

Thanks all for your reply! I love the lightness and the smooth push of my gt but i hate the inside out fold, no reclinable foot rest and not reversible. I think am going to swap for the gt. How is the folded size comparable to the gt?? Any insight on that?

I bought mine from Baby Kingdom in Bankstown, NSW. There is also a few online suppliers too. Make sure you take the pram with you when you go to buy the seat to be sure it attaches properly. I found the baby kingdom staff very helpful

I got this pram when my daughter was 5 months. You can buy bassinet OR get infant insert for a newborn.

On it's own I would say no but I believe there is an insert you can get for a newborn.

I bought the bassinet as I knew we wanted him to sleep in it a lot- ie when visiting friends, at Nannas etc. The standard seat is not flat enough for a newborn, the insert- it's like a little 'wedge' that flattens out the seat.

Hi Ladies, thanks so

much for your feedback. I appreciate your comments

Hi there I never have had to use toddler board yet as I only have one baby. As the alta had adjustable handle bar length; I would imagine you need to be using it not on talkest setting to for toddler board. As if you need to use it on talkest setting then when you add toddler board it would be in your way.

Btw - the new alta model that just came out can take 2 kids in one Pram so check that out as well.

Also their customer service is excellent

We use the Alta with the kick board and it's great. We only use it sometimes but it works well - you do have to extend the handle while it's being used and I find my daughter needs to get off if we are bumping over a curb but that doesn't bother me. Has a very good clip so can just be clipped when not used

I have not looked into it yet but when I purchased this pram I was told that I would be able to attach a toddler skateboard to it.

Yes you can! Check out the Uppababy website

I found one that wasn't Uppababy which worked too. Called Bump Rider

We were lately in the UK where the pavements were shocking. The Alta managed reasonably well. Where we live in Australia, I take the stroller over mud paths and bumpy footpaths all the time, it can be a bit bumpy, however my son actually dose not mind the movement. The suspension is also pretty good on this stroller.

Yes, Yes, Yes! This pram can handle all terrain, and I use it daily on smooth footpaths, uneven footpaths, sand and grass. I have also had the pram for over 7 months and the wheels are still in immaculate condition.
