What’s New in the UPPAbaby Vista V3?
If the V2 is the standard, the V3 is the upgrade pack. The Vista V3 takes everything parents loved about the V2 and adds some thoughtful new refinements to keep up with how families actually use their stroller every day. The V3 has refreshed fabrics and colors, updated comfort features, and small tweaks that make a big difference in real life—like more intuitive adjustments and improved accessory compatibility. It’s not a full redesign, so you are more than good still buying the V2, but at the same time it’s enough to notice.
The canopy is sturdier, the seat fabrics feel a bit more breathable (great for those warmer months), and you’ve now got magnetic buckles, which most people absolutely love—especially when you’re wrangling a squirmy toddler. One mom told us she didn’t realize how helpful that would be, and we agree–most parents don’t account for the exhaustion that comes with each day when first purchasing baby gear.
Another big win is the ventilation. Both the toddler seat and bassinet now have improved airflow with zip-open mesh panels. If you’re dealing with hot summers or a kid who overheats easily, that’s a feature you’re going to appreciate right away. And parents have told us their babies nap easily in both the seat and the bassinet, which says a lot.
The Vista V3 also kept what everyone already loved about the V2—like the huge storage basket, the smooth suspension, and the ability to configure the stroller a dozen different ways as your family grows.
A few parents mentioned that the fold still isn’t one-handed, and yes—it’s a bit heavier than some other options. But once it’s open and rolling, most agree it’s worth it. The ride is buttery smooth, and it handles everything from sidewalks to trails to soccer fields without a hiccup.
If you liked the V2, you’ll appreciate the polish on the V3. And if you’re choosing between the two, the updated comfort, airflow, and ease-of-use details make the V3 feel like it’s just a little more in tune with what today’s parents are dealing with—especially if you’re juggling multiple kids and still want your gear to look sharp.
Vista V2 vs Vista V3: What’s the Difference?
- Both support multiple configurations for one, two, or even three children
- V3 offers refreshed colorways, textiles, and details for an elevated look
- Newer seat padding and harness adjustability on the V3 improve day-to-day comfort
- Small hardware and accessory attachment refinements make the V3 feel just a bit more polished
At the end of the day, you’re getting the same trusted Vista experience—just a little more fine-tuned with the V3.
