The iconic UPPAbaby Vista is getting a makeover in 2020 and with it comes a name change. Now called the UPPAbaby Vista V2, the new Vista boasts improved all-wheel suspension, more sun protection, a hassle-free harness, as well as several other updates.
The 2020 UPPAbaby Vista V2 was unveiled in Germany at “Kind + Jugend,” the international leading fair for premium baby and toddler products.

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is expected to be shipped in February 2020. If you want to be one of the first to get your hands on a Vista V2, then you’ll want to pre-order the stroller.
What are the differences between the Vista and the Vista V2 harness?
The 2019 and prior UPPAbaby Vista’s have a rethread harness, meaning to adjust the height of the straps, you have to thread the straps through the seat, and rethread them.
The Vista V2 has a “no-rethread” harness, making adjusting the height of the straps much easier.
The harness of the 2020 Vista V2 is 5-point, similar to the 2019 and prior models.
What are the differences between the Vista and the Vista V2 suspension?
Both have 4-wheel shock-absorbing suspension.

What are the differences between the Vista and the Vista V2 toddler seat?
The seat of the Vista V2 will accomodate for a taller child than the 2019 Vista, as it has a higher seat back and deeper footrest.
However, the weight capacity of the seat did not change. The weight limit of the toddler seat is 50 pounds (for both the Vista V2 and Vista). The weight limit of the rumble seat (additional seat) is 35 pounds.
What are the differences between the Vista and the Vista V2 sun canopy?
The canopy of the Vista has has been completely re-designed for the 2020 Vista V2. The 2020 Vista V2 features a zip-out fabric canopy, providing greater coverage for your child. There are two mesh panels, one towards the front and one towards the back. This acts as a peek-a-boo window, as well as provides for airflow.
The canopy of the Vista has had an iconic silver pull-out SPF 50+ sunshade. The Vista V2’s sunshade is still SPF 50+.

What are the differences between the Vista and Vista V2 basket?
The size of the basket in the Vista V2 is slightly larger than from previous years (just barely). Additionally, the appearance of the basket has changed (we love the new look!). It also comes with an added feature – a side pocket that is meant to hold the rain shield. It’s also much more user-friendly, as it’s now easier to access from the front. And like the previous models, it’s machine washable!
What are the other changes made to the 2020 Vista V2 Stroller?
UPPAbaby re-designed an updated latch that’s used when folding and opening the stroller. It now should be easier to use.
When is the release date of the Vista V2?
February 2020. However, you can view and pre-order the stroller now!
I already have a Vista. Can I just buy the Vista V2 seats?
UPPAbaby has answered this question on their instagram. You will not be able to purchase the Vista V2 seat separately. However, you will be able to purchase the Vista V2 rumble seat (second seat), and it will be compatible with the Vista.

Does the Vista V2 still come with the bassinet?
Yes, the Vista V2 comes with the bassinet and same accessories in the previous model (bassinet, rain cover, and insect shield).
Does the Vista V2 have more space between the two seats?
No, the spacing between the toddler seat and rumble seat (purchased separately) are the same from the previous model.
Can I trade-in my Vista for a Vista V2?
No, there is no trade-in option.
If you’re considering the UPPAbaby Vista, it definitely looks like it’s worthwhile to get the Vista V2 for the upgraded features. The new features of the Vista V2 aren’t just for convenience (though that’s a bonus!), they will likely increase the useful life of the stroller with the larger toddler seat. The Vista hasn’t changed significantly in years, so you won’t have to worry about any major updates in the Vista V2 if you decide to get it.
On the flip side, if budget is a deciding factor, you will likely find some great deals on the Vista once they begin to roll out the Vista V2 (just like with cars and technology).
However, with everything, it really comes down to personal preference and the needs of each family.
Thanks for reading, friends!
