Pros
Parents in the Tell Me Baby community are raving about this pram. Many say they love the large basket underneath, it’s easy to manoeuvre and light to carry. One mum said she loves that you can take the wheels off to wash when they get muddy. A huge plus is how easy it is to convert into a pram for two kids.
Cons
One parent said, “I just wish the pram could be lowered a bit, i.e. the main seat as I am not very tall and I sometimes find it hard to see the front.” But they would still recommend this product.
Another mum’s only gripe was that she wished the sunshade extended a little further for the Rumble Seat attachment.
As for price, the Vista is more expensive (and heavier) than the Cruz, but it comes with a bassinet and is suitable for multiple children.
Example review
“The only pram you will ever need. We bought ours before our little one was born and had a play around with the configurations. It’s a good idea to work out how the UppaBaby Vista will fit in your car. It is soo durable (not a flimsy cheap pram)! The bassinet attachment is amazing and super comfortable for a newborn.”

UPPAbaby Cruz Stroller
Features
The UPPAbaby Cruz Stroller features a slim design for zipping through doorways and down narrow aisles. An infant SnugSeat can be purchased and attached to provide extra comfort and stability for your baby’s neck and back when strolling. (This must be used with Toddler Seat in the most reclined position.)
What’s included
- Toddler Seat + Canopy
- Bumper Bar
- Frame + basket
- Wheels
- Toddler Seat Rain Shield
- Toddler Seat Bug Shield
Age suitability
Suitable from birth with the Carry Cot and toddlers up to 15kg.
Price
$1,099.00
Pros
Parents love how compact and lightweight the UPPAbaby Cruz Stroller is, and many said the Snug Seat was perfect for their baby. The large underneath basket is a big pro. The Cruz model is also lighter compared to the Vista, plus it’s cheaper.
Cons
One reviewer said the only negative was that the sun protection visor didn’t extend down far enough. While the Cruz is lighter and cheaper, it doesn’t come with the bassinet (you can buy one), and it has fewer options for growing families down the track.
Example review
“The best! Very compact and narrow for a full-size pram. About 4kg lighter than others. The most user-friendly pram I have ever used, worth the investment. The handlebar also comes up high enough for my very tall husband to comfortably use. Love the extra sunshade. The huge basket is easily accessed from both sides.
“We bought the snug seat instead of the bassinet, and that worked really well for our newborn. Easy to fold down and is small enough that it lives on the backseat, as we have a ute. Can stand on its own once folded too. I can not think of anything bad about it.”
