Topic Wiki

I am trying to put a list together of the pro's and cons of the main bassinet strollers:

UppaBaby (UB)
PRO:
so easy to push
great basket (HUGE)
the bassinet is easy to take on and off
the wheels are easy to remove if need be
folds in a sinch
handle bar is great for tall and short people
the rumble seat lets the kid sit like a human being (not slide down)
the break is easy to push and doesnt break easily
the lay back position is great for kids who need to sleep on the go
the sun visor is a life savor
option to use with car seat (need to purchase the adapter)
fantastic customer service

con:
its wide but still easy to push
it can be heavy for some
the lock to close the stroller (it broke on mine)

Just got the UB Vista. The main attachment for car seat/bassinet/seat seems to wobble a little. Is that normal?

Shouldn't be happening. Are you sure that it's snapped in properly? Did you hear a click? Do you see green on both ends where it snaps in? I have the 2014 model and that's what you should see  I think by the 2015 model they redesigned the frame. But might be the same.

Call them. (781) 413-3030 They pick up fast and have awesome customer service. Last time I needed them, I was done in 5 minutes, with replacement parts sent out immediately.

OK. I'll try on Monday.
I misspoke before. Just checked and it does show green on the connection. Just seems that the whole stroller is wobbly

Good luck! They're usually very nice from what I've heard and experienced.

Anyone need an Uppababy Vista 2014 Frame and Rear wheels? Will just leave it out in the trash if no response. Don't know what else to do with it...

Any thoughts on the City Mini vs City Mini GT vs City Mini 4-Wheel?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

The wheels are the kicker , no comparison in the smoothness of pushing the stroller.

You also get a few different positions for the handlebar as apposed to 1 stationery.

Not sure what your preferences are but for travel the GT is the greatest all around stroller I can think of

City Mini's are just about the best/easiest strollers for that purpose other than umbrella strollers. Not much difference between the different models in that regard other than slight variations in weight - but the pros for the GT far surpass the extra weight.

Someone told me that the 3 wheels make the stroller tipsy. Anyone else find that?

the one downside to the GT is it is very back heavy and if you pt bags on the back it is more prone to tip back.
