UPPAbaby Vista V2 Configurations with Bassinet

For newborns, the Vista V2's bassinet is a perfect choice. It allows your baby to lie completely flat, which is ideal for naps on the go or overnight sleeping. The bassinet can be easily detached and carried, thanks to its one-hand release button. This makes transitions seamless, ensuring your baby can continue sleeping undisturbed.

When using the bassinet, no adapters are needed. If you're expecting twins, you can add a second UPPAbaby bassinet using the appropriate adapters. Here are some common bassinet configurations:

• Single Bassinet: Ideal for one newborn, with no adapters required.
• Two Bassinets: Perfect for twins, using upper and lower adapters.
• Bassinet and Toddler Seat: Allows an older sibling to join, requiring upper and lower adapters.
• Bassinet and Car Seat: Combining the bassinet with a car seat for versatile travel options, needing upper, lower, and car seat adapters.

UPPAbaby Vista V2 Configurations with Toddler Seat: When to Switch to the Toddler Seat 

As your baby grows, you'll eventually transition to the toddler seat. The UPPAbaby Vista V2 stroller includes a full-size, reversible toddler seat that can face either forward or towards the parent. This seat offers an adjustable canopy with UPF 50+ protection, a one-handed recline, and an adjustable footrest for added comfort.

The recommended time to switch to the toddler seat is when your child can sit up unassisted and shows an interest in the world around them, usually around 6 months. This seat will be your primary mode of transport until your child no longer needs a stroller. You can configure the stroller in various ways using the toddler seat:

• Toddler Seat + RumbleSeat: The RumbleSeat V2 can be added to the Vista V2 to accommodate two children. Both seats can face forward, parent, or opposite directions. This setup requires RumbleSeat adapters, with upper adapters optional for more space.
• Toddler Seat + Car Seat: This configuration is ideal for a toddler and an infant. Both seats can face the parent, using upper and lower adapters, and car seat adapters for infant car seats.
• Toddler Seat + Bassinet: Perfect for a toddler and a newborn. This setup also requires upper and lower adapters.

UPPAbaby Vista V2 Configurations with RumbleSeat 

The RumbleSeat V2 is a versatile addition that allows you to add a second seat to the Vista V2. It can recline and be used both forward and parent-facing, making it a multi-functional option for growing families.

• Two Toddler Seats: Although the Vista V2 supports two toddler seats, it's essential to use RumbleSeat adapters to attach the second seat. Upper adapters are optional.
• Toddler Seat and RumbleSeat: Both seats can be adjusted to face forward or towards the parent.
• RumbleSeat and Car Seat: Both can face the parent, requiring adapters for optimal placement.
• RumbleSeat and Bassinet: This combination offers flexibility for newborns and toddlers, using the necessary adapters.

Understanding the UPPAbaby RumbleSeat vs. Toddler Seat

A common question among parents is: what is the difference between RumbleSeat and toddler seat? The primary difference lies in their use cases and design:

• Toddler Seat: Comes standard with the Vista V2. It’s a full-size seat designed for use from around 6 months until your child outgrows the stroller.
• RumbleSeat: Sold separately, designed as a second seat for the Vista V2. It’s slightly smaller than the toddler seat and can be used in both forward and parent-facing positions.
