Love this pram! It’s so easy to use, good size basket and it’s so smooth to push and turn. The only downside of it, is that you have to buy all adapters separately and it can get quite confusing as to which one is for what, and it ends up being quite pricey if you need a few separate ones. Show details

Pram has been fine but the brakes failed within the warranty period and Coolkidz are still charging me for the spare parts. I expect more from a premium brand, I'd suggest buying a different pram. The handles become very dirty over time. I have tried to clean them with leather cleaner but I just can't seem to make them clean, the leather has… Read more

holes in it and I think the dirt gets in the holes, under the surface of the leather. Again, I'd expect more from a premium brand.

Great for farm life with the uneven surfaces – I brought this pram for its excellent steering as I can mount a curb/gutter using 1 hand, it feels so light weight and easy to use. I like the included bassinet but after 3 months baby preferred to use car capsule to sit upright which I used on the uppababy frame, I just had to buy the extra adapters. It’s a great shopping pram it has very large… Read more

storage underneath. I’ve used as a jogging pram as it suits our farm life with all the uneven surfaces even the horse paddock it acts like a 4wd. For the price it’s good to get a bundle deal as there’s so many added extras. The cup holder I’ve used countess times. I’m now looking for a travel stroller to take carry on in cabin and wishing they had the same wheels as the vista as the rides are so smooth. I’ve really taken advantage of and now seeing the difference between less terrain wheels so I understand the quality wheels and suspension with the vista.

Absolutely incredible the best pram we've owned! – The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an excellent pram for any parent out there looking to buy a pram! It is absolutely fantastic on any surface, • Concrete • Gravel/Asphalt • Grass • Sand • Dirt And more! It is also a very light pram so its easy to push and control while going up terrains and down them too! The UPPAbaby Vista V2 has got the best suspension… Read more

for a pram we've ever seen and experienced, my partner and I so highly recommended this pram to everyone we know! Definitely has made my partner and I's life so much easier and quicker to get around especially while down town getting everything done while shopping etc. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is so easy to steer and control, such a reliable pram for having only one child all the way up to having three children due to it having the two attachments that are super easy to install as well! Super easy to fold and pack away, fits in the boot of the car very nicely (we own a ve commodore) Our son absolutely loves sitting and relaxing in his pram due to him also being able to lie back in it due to the reclining features the pram also has,our son will happily sit in his pram the whole time while shopping and doing whats had to be done down the street. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 has so many wonderful features including • The reclining on both seats • Can have both bassinets on or both seats on or one of each and yes you can have the third attachment on with either or! • Big basket underneath the bassinet/seats so it fits quite a lot there • Easy to fold down and can also still have the first seat on while folding it down • Also compatible with a wide range of capsules for when baby is an infant And many more! Definitely highly recommend the UPPAbaby Vista V2 to everyone out there looking to buy a pram that's easy to use and easy to store away when need be!

Solid and versatile – Purchased the pram as it felt sturdy & smooth in the display room. I am happy it has a solid wider base and seems to take a beating well. The country town I live is does not have footpaths, so often end up on a rough road or grass, the pram seems to cope well and the suspension seems to keep my child comfortable on the journey. I loved the… Read more

bassinet is rated for overnight sleep which was fantastic when we traveled away and doubled as a change table as such. The toddler seat can lay relatively flat or upright which is handy, I did need the infant insert as my baby is on the smaller side. Large storage below is a plus, canopies offer almost full coverage and comes with great accessories. Drawbacks are you need 2 hands to fold the pram unlike some other prams on the market and pram only folds with toddler seat forward facing, It is also heavier and not very compact and britax capsules do not fit this pram fyi. The positives do outweigh the negatives for me and I can see this 2 seater pram lasting both children with ease.

What I thought I needed – It's a great pram. Easy to maneuver in any type of terrain including grass and sand. The compartment for things is amazing! I can fit all my grocery bags in it when I'm out with Bub. Only thing I didn't like about it is it is too heavy and takes a lot of space in the car. Brought it with me for overseas travel and it depends on the airline..… Read more

some would allow you to bring it till the boarding gates, others would say you'll have to check it in coz it's big.

Prone to rust and very poor Australian importer support – Despite the high price of this pram we found that the fastners (which can't be replaced) that are used to join the frame are made from untreated metal and therefore rust very quickly. Despite the pram being new and supposedly under warranty we were treated really rudely by the Australian Importer c/o David Kingsford. He accused us of not servicing… Read more

the pram correctly (which was untrue) and actually told us to go and spray it down with the flammable and toxic lubricant, WD-40, or buy another chassis at a cost of almost $300 because we live on the coast as if it were a defect which should have been expected. The bolts and rivets used in the frame are not treated anti-corrosive coatings which is what caused the issue and the Uppababy warranty is not worth the paper it's written on. If your tossing up between brands take a look at the pictures of our pram after just 1 year of using it in a normal way and ask yourself whether it's worth throwing your hard earned money away on.

Amazing pram that is worth the pricetag – As a parent who values style, functionality, and versatility, I've found this pram to be amazing. Pros: Versatility - The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is designed to grow with your family, accommodating up to three children with various configurations. Whether you have a newborn, a toddler, or multiple kids, this stroller adapts to your needs. With options… Read more

for bassinet, toddler seat, and additional attachments such as a rumble seat or piggyback board, it's the only stroller you'll ever need from infancy through toddlerhood and beyond.

Maneuverability - Navigating this pram is a breeze. Its suspension system and large, shock-absorbing wheels provide a smooth and stable ride for the little one, regardless of the terrain. From bustling city sidewalks to unpaved trails, this stroller handles it all with ease.

Convenience - The Vista V2 is packed with thoughtful features that make life on the go a breeze. From the one-step fold mechanism to the adjustable handlebar height, every detail is designed with parent convenience in mind. The extra-large storage basket provides ample space for diaper bags, groceries, or other essentials, while the included bassinet and rain shield add versatility and value to the package.

Stylish Design - The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is sleek and stylish. We got the dark grey, and even after 2 years of use, it still looks brand new. With the use of the adaptors, the bassinet/seat sits alot higher than standard single prams, making the baby easier to reach, and also sits at table height when eating out.

Customer Service - after 6 months, ours started developing a click whenever we pushed it. The customer service was extremely easy to deal with, and we were promptly sent a replacement frame within the week.

Cons:

Price - the UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an investment. Its comes at a higher price point compared to other prams on the market. The accessories can be quite pricey if they didn't come with the pram in a package.

Weight and Size - this pram can be a bit heavy. It's large size makes it a bit hard to load into smaller cars, with some jiggling needed to fit it into the boot. The pram is also quite wide, making it a bit harder to fit into narrow areas.

Conclusion: The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Stroller is stylish, amazing functionality, and versatility. It's a pram that checks all the boxes for discerning parents. While the price may be a consideration for some, the Vista V2's exceptional performance and longevity make it a worthwhile investment.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Great Pram! – We have been using the baby UPPAbaby Vista pram since early 2021, now that we have two kids we would recommend this to anyone that thinking to have more than one child as we can easily upgrade without paying too much for a second pram. Ours came with a bassinet (0-6 month bub) and the actual seat. I love the bassinet as it’s quite comfortable… Read more

and well designed. The pram itself has very wide storage space underneath ( can carry up to 10kg) so you can go shopping with nothing to worry about where you going to put your bags. Sometimes I feel like my bags weighted more than 10kg and with bub on it, it still feel light to push (this is very important to me)

The pram has very good suspension, easy to push around and set up.

The only reason I gave 4 star rating is because this pram is little heavy to lift in and out of the car ( for me anyway but my partner has no issue with that).

So overall, I’d still recommend to purchase the pram as it’s durable, nice looking ( received many compliments for it) and it will last, however just make sure you are completely comfortable with lifting the weight before you buy it.

Sturdy but awkward – We looked at a lot of prams and went with this for the reputation and how sturdy it feels. We have a lot of cobble/dirt tracks around our new housing area which it handles like a dream. It’s a quick and easy fold but it doesn’t stand upright and gets scratched on the ground a lot. It’s big. It takes up the whole boot when you fold with the seat… Read more

still on. It’s back wheels are wider than the front so it’s misleading and I get stuck a lot as I think I can fit through and then need to reverse. Love the basket. Carries lots. Pram is comfy for bubs. Good sun shade. We wasted money on the bassinet when we ended up just fitting a Nuna klik capsule until she was old enough. I do like this pram but took 1 star off for size and awkwardness of getting in and out of the car. It was fine when the seat faced me as I had to remove it. Now it faces away and can go in as one. Much more awkward to manoeuvre. Not unhappy and would still recommend with a disclaimer on size.

Brilliant pram, all bases covered – Fantastic pram. Has everything covered and so smooth to push around. Baby loves to sleep in it. Great suspension, durable, good size storage and comes with a great sun shade and rain cover. Only down side is it’s quite large so it takes up all the space in our smallish VW Golf. We’ll probably need to change cars either way. Show details

Great family pram – We have been using our vista for nearly two years now for one kid and we love it! It's got a huge basket so I can often do a decent grocery shop using the basket alone. It handles really well, but can be a little heavy if you're not used to it. We're about to have our second bubba in December and are looking forward to finally testing the double functionality soon! Show details

Excellent quality – Material is very good quality, ours is two years old and has never been cleaned but still looks like new. Dark grey material with black frame is best for not showing wear - I've seen the silver frame get marked and dirty. Folding/unfolding is easy and can be done one handed once the releases are pulled. The cross bar is excellent and one of the… Read more

reasons we bought it. Also works well enough as a running stroller, I do a couple of hours a week and the wheels are large enough for a smooth and stable ride. Tall handle helps a lot. We have bought aftermarket pram liners to reduce damage to seat.

Warranty questionable – As far as prams go this is pretty good. We bought all the accessories, cup holders and rumble seat. It drives like a tank, so expect a workout when going to parks.

Vista 2 lies in the braking system. The brakes can foul and the customer support is terrible. Had one person lie multiple times to me stating operator error despite just one wheel brake affected. It's clearly a safety defect and hopefully a product recall will happen soon for the wheels. I don't recommend this product until they fix the braking system.

Had issues after 2 years – Nice and big for the kids and sturdy. Problem was that the wheel started shuddering after 2 years which made it very difficult to push for my wife.

Best pram out there – We bought our Uppababy Vista V2 pram second hand and are so in love with it! It is easy to push and turn sharp corners, you can store so much underneath and it is comfortable for the baby (in the bassinet and the toddler seat). I can't wait to continue using it when I have my second child as it can carry both of them. Show details

The perfect pram – Probably one of the best purchases I've made for our baby. I bought this pram based on the basket size (it holds 12kg) and that you can add a second seat (rumble seat) if a second baby comes along. The pram comes with a bassinet and toddler seat. I purchased from Baby Kingdom and got additional accessories for free. This pram does well in all… Read more

surfaces, even when loaded up it pushes like a dream. Firm but soft suspension means even on uneven terrain baby is comfortable. My child often sleeps in her pram (thank you 4am walks). I love that the good can be extended for extra sun protection. I would say my only critism is that I wish the seat had more ventilation, there are mesh vents in the hood but the seat could do with some too (Nuna had this and they don't impact the seat at all). I've recommended this pram to anyone considering a larger pram.

Awesome pram and great service – This pram has been amazing since we bought it. We recently travelled overseas with it and used Uppababy's travel bag and the pram broke a couple of days after getting home and they replaced the broken toddler seat for free!

anywhere near as easy to use. Recommend getting the toddler seat insert so that it can be used if your baby has outgrown the carry cot before 6 months old. I’m writing this as I know so many parents that have gone through three or four prams to find the right one - just take the plunge and get this pram if you can afford it as you won’t be disappointed.

Seemed great from reviews but not really practical – Bought this pram in preparation for our second child. The configurations of the seat/bassinet do not work for a newborn and 2y/o. Maybe with a 6 month age gap this pram could work for 1 year but otherwise its pretty usless for 2 kids. The adapters for the bassinet feel like they will break every time you force them apart. My wife cant actually get… Read more

Having to remove the seat before collapsing the pram is quite frustrating to live with also.

Excellent pram, you won't be disappointed – This pram is the ideal companion for your little one. It's easy to use, safe and very good quality. There's so much storage underneath and the uppa extenders make it easier to get more storage if you need it.

Loving it so far! – I researched a lot of different prams before settling on this one. The deciding factor was that it's so easy to manoeuvre, and being tall, I use the upper adaptors to raise the height of the bassinet (and now main seat) so we don't have to stoop so low to get bubs in and out. This is especially good for hubby who has a bad back. I love it even… Read more

more every time I see someone else's pram!

Pros: - It has a huge basket, and when using the upper adaptors, there's sooo much space below for anything and everything. - really easy to manoeuvre and has been fine going over grass and up and down curbs (sturdy) - love that you can raise the height of the bassinet and main seat using the upper adaptors even if using as a single pram. - it's pretty :) we get quite a few comments about how fancy it looks!

Cons - it is quite wide and heavy (which i guess becomes more required when converted into a double pram), but we just use as a single pram at the moment. - I wish the bassinet had a breathable section to open up like some other prams. It got quite hot in there over summer when we were out as it didn't get much airflow.

Overall, I still love it and am happy with my choice. It was quite pricey compared to others, but we are getting really good use of it.

Expensive but worth it – I highly recommend the Uppababy Vista V2 pram, which I found to be durable yet versatile, and ideal for me and my wife, parents to a 6-week old baby The first thing you notice about the Vista V2 is how well it's made. It has a thick but lightweight metal frame, so it's not too heavy to carry up and down stairs. It also has big rubber wheels that… Read more

can tackle rough surfaces, including bumpy trails, with ease. We regularly take our newborn to a park near us that has some trails which are quite rough in parts. The Vista V2 goes over them no problem, and our child is rarely disturbed while in his bassinet.

What also makes it a really good pram is how easy it is to fold up. All you have to do to fold it up is to unclip a safety lock, pull up two sliders and push it together. As parents know, getting a newborn baby in and out of a car can be hard, even at the best of times. It may seem like a small thing but having a pram that's easy to put in and take out of a car is a big help that makes an often stressful situation that little bit easier.

As a word of caution though, while it fits neatly in the boot of our car, a mid-sized hatchback, it'll likely take up the whole boot of a compact car.

Lastly, the Vista V2 is also really good in the house. The bassinet that comes with the pram is big, and accommodates our 5kg newborn with room to spare. It's also easy to remove it from the pram without disturbing the baby, and makes a really good bed for our newborn when visiting family and friends-he'll happily sleep in it for up to three hours.

In conclusion, the Vista V2 is a great pram that's worth the hefty price tag.

The Uppababy Vista denotes class and high quality and is highly recommended. 10/10

Great Pram – I love this pram it is great for everyday use and easy to fold up and put away in the car by yourself. It’s very sturdy and easy to move around.

Alright, alright, alright – The misses brought this home 18 months ago and I was surprised at the price paid (i didn’t quite research or look at pram prices).

The functionality is extremely user friendly, - it’s sturdy… Read more

(therefore provides a sense safety / piece of mind your child is in a well built piece of transportation equipment) - comfortable, both for us and bubs - on road or off road it has no problems - feels great pushing and pulling - collapses well for boot transport - ability to easily enough remove parts to clean - well made - stable - accessories and or attachments readily available

I think more importantly speaking to friends and other parents who have the vista one the past year and a half (especially during lockdowns and many a park visit) they don’t really complain or have much negative feedback on this unit, unlike some folks at the park complaining about their cheapy pram or overprice bugaboo

All in all this was not the pram I originally thought we would get but I’m so glad we have it now and would not regret recommending it to other parents.

Cannot fault this company or product – We purchased this pram for our firstborn and it has been worth every cent spent on it. I feel like I’m part of an uppababy cult, when I see other parents with the pram I always mention that it is the best pram and they agree. I had to deal with customer service and they were prompt, professional and a delight to deal with. I’ll be using as a… Read more

The best pram ever! – The Uppababy Vista is a beautifully made pram that can be configurable for up to 3 kids. It features soft leather hand grips, matching leather belly bar, and luxuriously durable fabrics with high quality stitching throughout. MANOEUVRABILITY: Firstly, manoeuvrability is a big priority for me, as I want to enjoy walking with the pram. I’ve used… Read more

many prams in the past, and can honestly say that the Vista is a real pleasure to push. The wheels are smooth and give very little resistance, so I can walk with the pram for long periods of time and not get tired. This pram is easy to push one-handed while holding a caffeine hit in your other hand - a real priority for sleep-deprived parents!!

THE BASKET:

The Vista’s basket is huge - I can fit 4 to 5 full shopping bags in there. There are three handy pockets at the rear of the basket to hold small things and keep a couple of drink bottles in easy reach.

THE SEAT:

The seat can be switched between forward and rear facing. It can be elevated about 15cm higher with optional extension brackets, so bub is higher up and has a better view of the world (or greater eye contact with you if the seat is rear-facing).

Adjusting the seat’s incline is easy with a one-handed squeeze of the trigger button at the back of the canopy. The seat has many positions from upright to fully laid back. It is a smooth action that I have done many times without waking my baby.

The seat’s canopy flips down for shade, and has an inbuilt extension that can provide even greater sunshielding - very important to keep the sun out of sleepy eyes and reduce external stimulation in the hope that bub has a long and restful sleep.

The canopy can be adjusted to suit the height of your child: slide it down the frame for shorter kids (so the canopy provides better sun-blocking) and slide it up to give more head room for taller kids. My kid is now 3 years old (100cm tall) and still fits in this pram with the canopy placed in the highest position.

There is a peekaboo flap in the canopy with magnetic clasps to secure it in place - no Velcro to wake baby up when you take a peek! The flap can be rolled up and secured to allow airflow through the canopy’s mesh window.

There is a a zip pocket on the back of the seat, just below the canopy. When the seat is forward-facing, this pocket is handy to pop in your mobile phone (or face mask) for quick and easy access.

The main seat’s footrest is adjustable to flip up for shorter legs and flip down to allow for longer legs.

THE FRAME:

The handlebar is extendable to suit short and tall people, and is easily adjusted with one easy hand movement using the squeeze button on the middle of the handlebar.

The frame is quick and easy to fold and unfold. It stands up when folded and has two small “bumps” on the handlebar which touch the ground so the leather grip doesn’t get dirty when the frame is standing upright.

The wheels are nice and big so they can handle a variety of terrains. They run beautifully on smooth ground (what a dream in shopping centres!), and easily goes over loose gravel without sinking in.

EXTRAS:

The Vista comes with a bassinet which is huge and sturdy. I used the bassinet until my baby was well over 6 months old as it was long enough for bub to fit.

Rain shields and mesh bug shields for both the seat and bassinet are included in the package. The bassinet also comes with storage cover. I always keep the rain shield in one of the pockets in the basket just in case I get caught out in the rain.

A second seat is an optional extra. Please refer to Uppababy’s website for the complete list of configurations that the seats and bassinet can be put in. I note that with second child on board, it is harder to pop up the front of the pram to mount kerbs (particularly if the heavier child is in the front seat), but I have found this is pretty much the case with tandem double prams as the kids’ weight is distributed over the full length of the pram.

A wide range of brackets are available to attach a baby capsule to the pram.

A skateboard can be attached to the frame. Uppababy has their own skateboard, but I used a Lascal maxi buggy board with removable seat. I no longer use the skateboard as my older child can now walk longer distances and no longer needs it. I do recall that when using the skateboard, I had the handlebar fully extended so my child could stand in between the handlebar and rear-facing pram seat (couldn’t have the seat facing forward, as the canopy would be right in my kid’s face). However, I couldn’t take a full stride behind the skateboard, so it was a bit awkward to use.

CONS:

The only con I found was that the seat is bulky and doesn’t fold down flat so it does take up more boot space. Also, the frame is big, but at least it is not too heavy to lift in and out of the boot. I actually pack a smaller stroller in the car to allow space for my shopping. For car trips, I recommend the Mountain Buggy Nano, but that’s an entirely different review I need to do! I actually use the Vista for walking out of the house and getting around the neighbourhood and local shops.

CONCLUSION:

This pram is fantastic all round. Yes, it is big, but it fits through shop doors and narrow shop aisles as easily as smaller prams. It’s manoeuvrability, adjustability and large basket capacity well and truly make this a winner for everyday use.
