Pros and Cons
After reviewing both strollers, here is an overview of the pros and cons of each stroller.
The Uppababy Vista has a lot of Pros and barely any Cons. The main Cons are with the stroller fold size and the stroller weight. At 27 lbs, the Uppababy Vista is slightly heavy although this is not surprising for a full-size stroller. However, this size could be harder for smaller parents to carry when they need to lift the stroller. But this won’t be any issue if you have a car for transporting the stroller.
Also, the bulky fold takes up a bit of storage space. So you’d have to take note if you have a small car or a small apartment. Apart from these Cons, the Uppababy Vista is one of the top strollers currently available on the market!
The Bugaboo Fox is quite expensive, but is also a super nice stroller! There were barely any negative things to point out about the stroller except for the fact that it is quite expensive and does not have a convertible feature. Unlike the Uppababy Vista, if you’re expecting a second child, you won’t be able to use the same stroller. Other than that, the Bugaboo Fox has a lot of great features, has great quality, and is all you’d hope to have in an everyday stroller!
