One glance at our Talk boards and you’re sure to notice one brand that is consistently mentioned when it comes to prams: UPPAbaby. Renowned for their long-lasting designs, the brand is synonymous with robust, sturdy and adaptable prams that are perfect for growing families. In fact, their most popular offering - the UPPAbaby Vista V2 - scored a huge 4.5 out of 5 stars by our parent tester Sarah recently. 

As an updated version of its predecessor, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 pram offers a more spacious and higher seat, as well as an upgraded sun canopy and a bigger footrest as well as all the other features that our Mumsnetters have loved over the years.

So, why exactly do our Mumsnet families love UPPAbaby so much? If you yourself are on the hunt for the perfect pram, here are the five most common reasons our users share over and over again. 

1. It has a huge basket to carry all of your essentials 

Ask any parent what feature they must have when choosing their pram, and we bet the majority will say basket size is up there as one of the most important. That’s unsurprising, given the fact a sizable pram basket is handy for practical reasons: not only do they provide extra storage for nappies, bottles, snacks and toys, they also streamline your outings by eliminating the need for extra bags.

Beyond your baby and child essentials, a spacious basket offers space for accommodating groceries or personal belongings when needed. And particularly comes in handy during those shopping trips when you’re in need of retail therapy. After all, the UPPAbaby Vista V2’s dual-access basket can hold up to a whopping 13.6kg.

2. It’s a great, robust all-terrain pram for any adventure

An all-terrain pram is a great investment for families with an active lifestyle that leads them offroad. Whether it’s rugged trails, even pavements or sandy beaches, an all-terrain pram like UPPAbaby’s Vista V2 provides stability and smooth manoeuvrability during use - ensuring a comfortable ride for both you and your LO.

An all-terrain pram like this one allows families to explore outdoor activities together without limitations. Its sleek design, ease of manoeuvrability, and smooth suspension make it a joy to use both in urban settings and on rougher terrain. 

Plus, the robust structure of the pram is durable and long-lasting, making it a practical investment for families who enjoy spending time outdoors and are in need of a pram that grows with their family.

3. It’s great value (and retains its value when you no longer need it)

Investing in a long-lasting pram might seem a lot to fork out upfront, but over time, reliable options like UPPAbaby’s Vista V2 will become incredibly great value. 

With various expenses to manage as a family, a pram that is long-lasting, robust and can handle multiple children over the years is certainly of great value and worth investing in. Plus, a pram like this one includes essential features like safety, comfort and durability, providing you with peace of mind while prioritising your budget.

That’s not all - when your children have grown and you’re no longer in need of your pram, you’ll find that UPPAbaby prams hold their value incredibly well and resell easily.

4. A pram designed with features to make your life easier

Everything about the UPPAbaby Vista V2’s intuitive features are designed to make your life on the go that much easier. We’ve mentioned the basket, but the UPPAbaby Vista V2 offers a lot more. 

Everything has been designed so it can be used with one hand. It has a one-step fold that’s easy to use and also stands on its own when folded (with or without the toddler seat attached). The carrycot can be released with one-hand from the pushchair, and the five-point, no-rethread harness is easily adjustable. Recline is one-handed, has multiple positions and the handlebar is adjustable for different family member’s heights.

What’s more, for newborns, the perforated carrycot mattress pad has a vented base and the added canopy allows for extra breathability for your LO. What’s more, it can be used overnight should you want to use it on your next getaway. 

That’s not all, with summer ahead, we’re sure the extendable, pop out UPF 50+ sunshade will get a lot of usage - this feature is available on both the carrycot and can also be used on the toddler seat with a vented peekaboo window.

5. Different seating configurations for multiple children

Offering multiple seating configurations, the UPPAbaby Vista V2 gives parents the ability to attach a second seat or a compatible infant car seat as well as the included bassinet, making it a great choice for families expecting another baby. Its strong suspension system also ensures smooth and stable handling, even with the added weight of two children.

Thanks to the pram’s clever fitting on the harness, you can adjust the length of the straps easily without having to rethread them. Meaning, you can quickly and effortlessly adjust the straps for different children when you’re out and about. 

Of course, that’s not all. Larger families can make sure everyone’s in tow with the UPPAbaby PiggyBack board which allows you to transport a third, older child too. 

6. And lastly, UPPAbaby’s brand commitment to safety and innovation

When choosing a pram, safety is obviously an important feature for parents. UPPAbaby’s commitment to safety is shown through rigorous testing of each product, continuous research, as well as the implementation of advanced features in their products that you don’t often see in others. 

With features like adjustable harness systems, impact-absorbing materials and intuitive folding mechanisms, parents favour UPPAbaby prams as they know they’re getting one of the best possible products for their DC. 

To make sure your pram lasts, UPPAbaby’s Tune-Up Gear-Up Events offer complimentary stroller maintenance where their experienced tech team are fully equipped and ready to bring your stroller back to life.
