The Vista V3 is the stroller to buy if you want to keep one frame through several children. Its reversible toddler seat holds up to 50 lbs, and with the RumbleSeat V3 and PiggyBack board UPPAbaby says it expands from single to triple. For a newborn you add the Bassinet V3 at $279.99 or the Infant SnugSeat; without them the seat starts at 3 months. UPPAbaby pairs FlexRide Suspension with never-flat tires, so there is no pumping or patching. The one-step fold works with the seat still on and the folded stroller stands up by itself. The basket is the largest here at a 30 lb limit, and the All-Weather Comfort Seat comes with a removable seasonal liner. The trade-offs are weight, at 27.6 lbs for frame and seat, and price, which climbs fast once you add a bassinet, a second seat and car seat accessories. UPPAbaby backs the stroller with a 3-year warranty.
