Uppababy Vista (minor) problems...anyone else?

DH and I did a lot of research before purchasing out VISTA.  We immediately put it together and took it for a stroll when getting home from the store.  After spending some major dough on a stroller, we were disappointed to find:

1. the handle bar makes a clicking noise no mater what setting it is on and never securely locks into position.  So it rattles a little when you pull on it.

2. the sun canopy does not stay tight, it retracts back and is really floppy.

3. the right back tire where the break is makes a clicking noise.  

I know these are no major, but when you are paying $700 for a stroller (we had $500 in gift cards), you expect it to be perfect.  I called Buy Buy Baby where we bought it and they are going to take a look at it and try to fix the problems, but it is so annoying to deal with!  Anyone else have these problems?

  • We don't have the same problems but it seems as though the break tire is wobbly.  I thought I was just using it on uneven pavement, but I used it on a completely flat indoor floor and the thing is still wobbly. 

    I bet if you contacted the company they would respond.  I registered my stroller with the company and they responded that if I ever had any problems to contact them and they gave me actual names of people to contact.

  • We haven't tried out the sun canopy part of ours, but we don't have the problems with the clicking noise. I would definitely call Uppababy and talk to them too. good luck!

    You can get cheaper strollers - you can even get the Uppababy vista cheaper. It just depends on what you want from a stroller - what you need.

    Liza is right, there are a zillion strollers out there.  This is our 3rd stroller (2 were gifts).  We also have a chicco travel system and a baby jogger summit running stroller (we are avid runners/power walkers).  It all depends on your needs and lifestyle. 

  • Yes, it's pricey (mine was a gift).  I like that I can use it with the car seat adapter, it has a bassinet, and is a regular stroller.  The Vista also has a rumble seat attachment you can get for the back if you have 2 children.  If you add up all those features it's totally worth it IMO.

    Bonnie, we registered for a Chicco travel system and it's only $300, so don't worry!  You don't have to spend that much!

  • If I had to do it all over again I would probably either get the bugaboo bee (but it is pricey, and has some design flaws) or more likely do a snap and go and then a maclaren quest.  This is what baby bargains reccomends, but did I listen... nooo!  Now I am selling my stroller, but mostly because our new building has steps I can't manage with anything other than a maclaren.  boo.
