Let’s take an in-depth look at these upgrades!

Vista V2 Harness

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.

Vista V2 Wheels & Suspension

What are the differences between the Vista and the Vista V2 suspension?  

Both have 4-wheel shock-absorbing suspension.

2019 Vista:

  • Front wheels are 8” and the rear ones are 11.5”.

2020 Vista V2

  • Improved suspension (“spring-action”) and softer tires
  • Claims to have a softer ride
  • Added visual features in the front wheels to see when the wheels are locked vs. unlocked
  • Size of wheels are unknown.

Vista V2 Toddler Seat

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.

Vista V2 Sun Canopy

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+.

UPPAbaby Vista V2 Review & Final Thoughts

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!
