UPPAbaby VISTA PiggyBack Ride-Along Board

This thing is so fantastic. Its so great for a quick trip into the store/gym/library, etc when you dont want to go through the hassle of getting child number two all buckled in (and are ok with them jumping off when you get inside wherever you are going inside). So worth the money for me within the first week of using it.

Perfect for my 2.5 year old to be able to hop on and off when we are on the go.

My toddler got this at 22 months and calls it her skateboard. There was a phase between her first starting to walk and now that it was really hard to go anywhere because she always wanted to walk but would be slow either because of lack of coordination or too many distractions. Now she will walk, ride, or sit in the seat when she’s tired. The piggyback has saved us countless hours and toddler arguments. :) totally worth the investment.

While I enjoy the versatility this board lends to the vista it does have some drawbacks. I wouldnt use it as a substitute for a double stroller or if a true triple stroller is needed. Children of different ages can use it but it seems best for older two year olds who tend to stay put and not run off up to early five year olds. Younger than two and the child would likely be more comfortable and have a better view in a seat while keeping the parent from worrying about them running off. Older than 4-5 and they would be so big and heavy that the stroller would be difficult to push.

Dislike

First issue is that while walking I keep “kicking” the board, so that means I need to distance my self from the stroller in awkward position(even with the handles fully extended). For reference I am 5’5 (165cm) tall.

My 3 year old son loves this thing, and it keeps him safely nearby while letting him be a big boy who does not have to ride in the stroller (unless he wants to) while we walk with the newborn.

My wife and I love our uppababy stroller, and this addition is wonderful. Our child enjoys the opportunity to “go!” without being strapped in.

This is a great platform.. I’d note however that it does put a strain on the stroller’s frame when the sibling Is riding on it, shortening its usable life significantly.

I was so excited to get this for my 2 year old when her baby brother arrived. But using it with the bassinet attachment made the stroller unsteady, especially going down hills. It also is very awkward to push with my toddler riding it. Lastly, having it attached makes the stroller a major hassle to fold up and unfold. The joy of this stroller was the ease of use and this ruined that. Im also very disappointed that to make this a double stroller you needed an additional $800 seat on top of a $1000 stroller. Not happy at all.
