Winner: UPPAbaby Vista V2
The Nuna Demi Grow has all-season seats similar to other strollers in the Nuna line-up like the Mixx and Triv. This means that the fabric part of the seat snaps off and reveals a mesh backing. This allows for better air flow and is great for warm climates. This also means the seat fabric is machine washable. The removable fabric is made of merino wool and Tencel lyocell. According to Tencel, the lyocell fibers are “produced by environmentally responsible processes from the sustainably sourced natural raw material wood”.
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 does not have all-season seats, though the fabric is removable and machine washable.

Winner: Nuna Demi Grow
Both the UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Nuna Demi Grow are similar stroller systems, but each has its pros and cons.
Overall, our top pick is the Nuna Demi Grow, mainly for the fact that the secondary seat can hold a child up to 50 pounds as opposed to the Vista’s 35 pounds. This will extend the useful life of the stroller for many families.
However, each family has to consider the unique needs of their family when deciding between these two strollers to find the best fit.
