UPPAbaby VISTA Stroller
"Our pride. Your joy." UPPAbaby's motto reassures parents that their number-one priority is to produce the highest quality products, keeping in line with the edgiest fashions. Based out of Rockland, Massachusetts, the UPPAbaby team has rocked to the top in the past ten years to make a name for themselves in the world of baby gear. A customer-oriented company, their website boasts that even the owner Bob, who has previous experience working with Ford, Reebok, The First Years and Safety First, fields daily calls from customers. They encourage people to stop by UPPAbaby headquarters, meet the team and take a tour of the establishment. They indeed go the extra mile to ensure that their pride becomes your joy.
Yet another reason exists to love UPPAbaby: they are intent on acting green-minded and affecting the environment in positive ways. Materials from old strollers are recycled, gently used strollers are donated to charity, and products are shipped from both the east and west coast to cut down on shipping completely cross-country. Employees and even Bob the owner drive hybrid automobiles and moms and heavy commuters are allowed to work from home. They preach as well as practice the motto, "Think globally. Act locally."
Currently one of UPPAbaby's hottest items is the VISTA stroller system. Suitable for newborns up to toddlers forty pounds in weight, it includes a bassinet and a regular seat which interchange easily. No switching of fabric is required! Special color-coded red and green indicators let you know when each is successfully locked in place. The seat is reversible, so Baby can face the outside world or look right at Mommy. Mommy is closer to Baby, thanks to the elevated seat height that cuts down on backaches from bending over the stroller. This also means that no high chairs are needed at restaurants since the seat can sit high enough for Baby to reach the table. The seat adjusts in three positions for Baby's comfort with an adjustable leg rest and removable bumper bar. The bassinet mattress is removable, machine washable and water-resistant. It can also be used in summer or winter climates, thanks to the reversible micro-suede on one side and mesh on the other. The VISTA includes a mesh bug cover and sun shade as well as a separate rain shield to wield against all elements.
The VISTA has a welded frame made from aircraft aluminum alloy, so it is guaranteed to feel light yet solid. The wheels are high performance with a shock absorbing suspension system, sealed bearings and extra-wide spokes made of aluminum for extra-smooth rides. Flats are not an issue, thanks to EVA foam-filled TPR tires coated in rubber. The rear axle has a "floating" arch, so no stubbed toes will result from pushing. Telescopic adjustment of the height of the handles with one button makes for easy switching from Mom to Dad's turn. A large storage basket sits underneath the seat to hold both diaper bags and purses. Additionally, the UPPAbaby Vista folds in one step with or without the attached seat and can stand
on its own.
BabyEarth.com also sells an UPPAbaby VISTA car seat adapter, compatible with Peg Perego and Graco brands. Toddlers can jump on, thanks to the UPPAbaby VISTA piggyBACK Ride Along Board. Made of wood with a non-skid surface, the Ride Along Board attaches to the back of the VISTA with a simple click and can be removed just as easily. The VISTA stroller can also fold up with the board still attached. Offered at $39.99 and $89.99 respectively, these accessories will complement the VISTA stroller system perfectly.
