I will say I havent had issues on gravel, havent tried much on grass. I will say I would not buy it because it converts to a double. My toddler rejecting the stroller at 15 months. I personally wish I got the Cruz (the vista is HEAVY and a pain to lift into my SUV, ngl) and bought a 2 seater wonderfold wagon for when I have 2 kids. That way the older one can stand if they dont want to sit and be buckled in. In hindsight, that's what I would have gone with. And the wagon can be used for all the activities you want to do.

2. Vista (but I wish I go the Cruz) and Joolz Aer for car/travel once she was older.

We got our vista for neighbourhood walks in the winter and for running errands with the big basket. I haaaated lugging it in the car because it was so heavy, and couldnt imagine get checking it because its so expensive, so we bought a Joolz Aer that lives in our car (second hand).

Devil's advocate here for the Vista! We went in completely sure we were going to get the Cruz because we thought it was a little absurd to buy a giant stroller for a kid we didn't even have yet, but the Vista V3 and the Cruz V3 are functionally the exact same size and weight, the Vista is just more adaptable. We'd love to have a second kid fairly close to the first, so it didn't end up making sense for us to buy two $900 strollers two years apart, especially when they were so similar. I liked how sturdy the wheels felt on the Vista compared to the slightly smaller strollers and it was just as easy to fold. The Cruz doesn't feel super heavy to me and out of curiosity I googled to see if it's heavier than the smaller Nunas. The Cruz is 27.6 lbs and the Nuna Mixx is 28.3 lbs. If you can, I'd recommend going to a baby store and trying them out, but to me the advantages of the Cruz outweighed the convenience of a smaller stroller, especially when the margins were coming down to less than 2-3 inches and the weights were the same.

Got the same stroller as well! Totally fits our lifestyle and converts to double. I know lots of people complain about it was a double but where I live, it’s 80% of the strollers you see everywhere. I see a lot of Cruz and Minu’s too for singles

Absolutely worth it for our lifestyle - people forget this isn’t a travel stroller lol

That’s exactly it! Sometimes the vista gets so much hate but I’m like people are buying it for the wrong reason! Not the strollers fault lol

1000% agreed. I’m a mall walker and I’ll be using it as my grocery cart too. I love it

we were gifted our Uppababy vista stroller with bassinet - i looooove this stroller system and highly recommend! we received gift cards that went towards our convertible and infant carseats too (Nuna Pipa and Graco 4ever). Owlet sock and Hatch sound machines (fullsize and portable) was gifted too, we use these every day

exactly why I'm going to get one this summer! great compliment to my vista which i love for grocery shopping and mall walks. UB just came out with the Kona, which is between the Cruz and Minu. I'm excited to check it out this fall when it goes on sale

No, I bought and sold a Vista V3 within 6 months of having my baby, coming from someone that went stroller crazy and bought 4 different strollers to try out. Yes it’s smooth as heck but so are other high end strollers. It’s bulky and having the smaller baby on the bottom is so awkward. It’s not as compatible with other car seats beside their uppababy line without buying a bunch of off market add ons. I would get the Cybex Gazelle for better configuration or splurge on the Bugaboo Donkey Duo if you have space and funds.

I got the Vista and sold it, one good thing about an Uppababy product especially the Vista is that it holds up its value pretty well. I sold it for $100 less than I bought it from with 4 months of use. I soon realize that my baby doesn’t like to be restrained in a stroller so hauling 2 kids with the Vista wouldn’t work for us but a single stroller with the piggy back board would work perfectly. I ended up buying another high end single stroller called Joolz Hub2 and liking it so far. I really enjoy the smooth ride and I do notice the difference in build and ride quality between a Joolz/Nuna/ Bugaboo/Uppababy/ Cybex I’ve tried in store vs the one Graco sold at Costco.

I have the v3 and love it. It’s so smooth! And I love all the storage space! I pack it in my car every week and take my baby to the mall. It’s super easy to fold down. Maybe I’m just used to it because it’s the only stroller I’ve ever had but I don’t find the bulkiness a problem. Putting it in the car and taking it out isn’t heavier than carrying a toddler. The only issue I’ve ran into is it’s not the best at some stores because you can’t get through if the aisles are narrow but that’s not a big deal to me
