vista or cruz

[Ldarrington]

I'm really keen on the Cruz but my OH likes the vista. There are benefits and drawbacks to both but its proving very difficult to outweigh one against the other. Can anyone who has had the same problem and has made a decision give any feedback on their experiences and whether you would give the thumbs up or down after using either buggy? FYI we live in a suburban area but would still need to occasionally use public transport. Thanks for any feedback, much appreciated!!

I have had both and the big decider for me is the lack of suspension on the Cruz. Its incredibly hard to push and made my hand hurt. I too preferred it for look, for the basket etc. But there's no question the Vista is the more pleasant to push. The Vista is slightly smaller folded too.

I have the vista and absolutely love it. Very easy to manoeuvre, yet rugged enough for a walk round our local deer park. The huge basket is a real bonus (can fit change bag, picnic hamper and rug in for above mentioned walk!). The bassinet is a bonus if you think you might be going away when baby is small as they can sleep in it overnight. We have recently been to France and the height of the seat was handy as the French dont seem to do highchairs, but DS was able to sit at table height in cafes and was much happier than if he had been in a low buggy. I find it handy to get in and out of the boot but have never yet tried it on public transport so can't comment there I'm afraid.
