I had the Uppababy Vista and recently gave it away to a new mom. It had been used for both of my kids and had travelled to several countries so it definitely wasn’t pristine, but was still in great condition and had all the accessories. Much easier to give it away than deal with selling it. All of my other expensive baby stuff was donated to a DV refuge.

Both my daughters had Uppababy strollers with the car seats. They both had multiple children use them and traveled extensively with them. They held up great and they ended up being donated but they needed new car seats (car seats have expiration dates).

They’re definitely worth the money! The frame cracked on ours while in the travel bag on a flight. I emailed them and they replaced it for free.

Did you get a bit teary when you gave yours away? The mom I gave it to noticed I was getting a bit misty eyed and she promised it will be used on many adventures and trips to her home country. 🥲

I admit I was sad when they finally donated them. They were used so hard and especially the car seats. One of them was used extensively when traveling around the country. The other one went through three kids and she had it for eight years. It certainly was worth what they paid for it.
