Selecting the perfect stroller is an important part of the parenthood journey.Every stroll, errand, or trip can become an opportunity to create cherished memories. At UPPAbaby, a community of like-minded parents, we understand this, and we’ve curated a selection of strollers, like the Vista V2 and Cruz V2, that resonate with a variety of lifestyles.

Whether you are walking in the city or spending time at the park, using the right stroller is essential for enjoying the little moments. As you decide which UPPAbaby® stroller aligns best with your family’s rhythm, this guide aims to highlight the strengths and distinctions between two of UPPAbaby’s star players – the Vista®V2 and Cruz®V2.

 

Vista V2 or Cruz V2: Making the Choice

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Cruz V2 strollers are both stellar options tailored to meet the ever-changing needs of growing families, with several key features in common. Each is compatible with the Performance Travel System, designed to work effortlessly with our Mesa Infant Car Seats, requiring no additional adapters. This ensures a seamless transition from car to stroller, making travel less of a hassle.

Both strollers also prioritize comfort and convenience; they feature a reversible Toddler Seat with an adjustable recline for your child’s comfort, a 50 UPF+ extendable canopy to shield your little one from the sun, and a no-rethread harness that adjusts to fit your child as they grow. Additionally, the telescoping handlebar can be adjusted to the parent’s preference, ensuring a comfortable push for individuals of varying heights.

However, the two strollers differ in key areas that cater to different lifestyles and preferences. The Vista V2 transitions from a single to a double stroller, fits three kids with the PiggyBack board, is ideal for growing families, and includes a Bassinet. 

The Cruz V2’s compact frame is better for tight urban spaces, and can also use the PiggyBack for an extra child. Storage-wise, the Vista V2 has a 30-pound capacity basket, while the Cruz V2’s basket holds up to 25 pounds.

In essence, if you value expansive functionality and plan for more children, the Vista V2 is your go-to stroller. If you prefer a more streamlined, space-efficient stroller that still offers some growth flexibility, the Cruz V2 is your ideal match.

Maneuverability

With its streamlined design, the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 ensures that urban exploration with your baby is effortless.
