The UPPAbaby Vista V2 vs. Vista V3: What’s New? Stroller Comparison

For years, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 has been a top choice for parents looking for a stroller that offers versatility, durability and the ability to grow with your family. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 has won the JPMA Innovation Award and was also recognized as a winner in the USA Pregnancy Baby Fair Awards 2024 for the best travel system. So, as you can imagine, the Vista V2 has set quite a high bar for anything that follows it. Now, released last year in 2024, UPPAbaby has taken their best-selling V2 stroller and given it a thoughtful, significant upgrade with the launch of the Vista V3. Let’s take a look at the features of both the UPPAbaby V2 and V3 models and check out what’s new on the Vista V3! Key Updates on the Vista V3 Updated Tires & Enhanced Suspension A key feature on the Vista V2 was the large puncture proof tires that allowed parents to roll on any terrain with ease. The Vista V3 now offers lightweight tires with the same puncture-proof ability. When coupled with the updated FlexRide Suspension, this tandem offers parents an even smoother push than the V2. Updated Seat Fabrics and Design While the Vista V2 is known to offer a roomy and comfortable toddler seat for children, UPPAbaby took it up a notch with the new all-weather comfort seat on the Vista V3. The updated seat now offers a plush, cushioned seat liner (for colder months) that can be removed to reveal a mesh back that offers ventilation and breathability for warmer weather strolls. Bassinet Changes With the new updates to the Vista V3 stroller, there are also some changes in regard to the Bassinet V3. One of the biggest things to note is that the bassinet is no longer included with the Vista V3 stroller. The Bassinet V3 still has the same compatibility with the Vista V3, but it is now sold separately. This is a helpful change that is great for families who are looking to upgrade their stroller and may not be in the newborn/infant stage. If you’re getting this stroller with a newborn in mind, the Bassinet V3 may be the perfect accessory to include in your purchase. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 Toddler and RumbleSeats are perfect for kids 6 months and older, with a weight limit of 50 lbs. for the Toddler Seat and 35 lbs. for the RumbleSeat. Remember, these two seats aren’t approved for newborns, so if you want to use the Vista V3 with your newborn, just add the Bassinet V3 or create a travel system with an UPPAbaby Aria or Mesa V2 Infant Car Seat. New Hassle-Free Harness System A newly-added upgrade parents are loving on the Vista V3 is the quick-to-secure harness system. This new system features a no re-thread harness and magnetic buckle that adds extra convenience. Sometimes, it’s the big things. But many more times, it’s the little things that matter most. This makes each outing much easier. Premium Fabrics & New Colors The Vista V3 is now GREENGUARD® Gold certified! What does Green Guard Gold Certified mean? A GREENGUARD Gold Certification means that the product meets strict standards for low emissions of harmful chemicals . . . which means safer materials surrounding your kiddos everyday! With the release of the Vista V3, UPPAbaby launched 3 new, beautiful colors: Kenzie (Mystic Aqua, Carbon Frame, Saddle Leather), Callum (Stone Blue, Silver Frame, Sand Leather) and Savannah (Pearl Gray Jacquard, Carbon Frame, Chestnut Leather). UPPAbaby Vista V3 Configurations Although the UPPAbaby Vista V3 now provides parents with quite a few enhanced features over the previous Vista V2 model, the configurations remain the same. The Vista V3 allows for 30+ configurations depending on your family’s needs and lifestyle! It’s the perfect stroller for parents with several children, as the multiple configurations allow for up to three children to ride on the stroller at the same time (with RumbleSeat and PiggyBack accessories). The UPPAbaby Vista V3 is compatible with infant car seats, including the UPPAbaby Mesa V2 and Aria, as well as a wide range of other brands when used with an adapter.
