Full Review: If you are searching for a luxury stroller system and want something new and fresh, as opposed to the overpopulated other brands on the streets, you may want to take a close look at the Uppa Baby Vista.

Uppa Baby is a brand new stroller company based near Boston, Mass., that was launched in September 2006. When we first saw this luxury system, our eyes went straight to the big, beautiful basket on the bottom. A fancy stroller with a big, accessible basket - you have our attention!

The Uppa Baby Vista is a stroller system complete with a lightweight chassis, a reversible toddler seat and a b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l bassinet. With the use of aircraft alloy in the frame and wheels, this stroller is lighter than competitors and weighs in at just under 25 lbs with the toddler seat. (The bassinet is an additional 9 lbs.) It has a quick, standing fold that allows us to leave the toddler seat attached, and keeps the frame scratch free since it stands on its wheels when folded.

Speaking of the wheels, we love the Uppa Baby tires. These 'no flat' foam rubber wheels are puncture-proof and handle all kinds of terrain. The wide, rear tires allow us to glide over rocks, charge through grass, and power over mulch at the playground. Sand, rocks, snow - no problem! We haven't found a terrain we can't get through with the Uppa Baby and all without worrying about a flat tire. There are rear brakes that lock securely and are easy to apply.

To satisfy the shortest and tallest of moms and dads, it has an adjustable handle that eliminates the 'stroller hunch'. It is designed without the standard bar connecting the rear tires that may get in the way of a long stride so we never stub our toe or kick the frame. We love the reversible toddler seat that allows the child to face mom or out at the world. The seat reverses easily, and to ensure a locked-in fit, there are color indicators on either side that turn from green to red when clicked in properly.

Instead of the just the back of the seat reclining like on other strollers, on the Vista the entire seat reclines easily. The seat keeps its wide 'v' shape but does recline far enough back to be considered a flat position. We found the seat to comfortably fit newborns up to 3 year olds. Even with a weight capacity of 40 lbs, we do want to mention that the seat back seems a tad short for an extra tall child and you may find that a tall 3-year-old may brush their head against the canopy.

There is a large canopy that shades the child sufficiently and has as mesh peek a boo window that allows air to circulate through the stroller when open. Like we said at the beginning, this stroller has a fabulously, large basket. There is a bar that runs through the middle but nonetheless it still holds loads of stuff and we love it.

There is an included bassinet good for up to 20 lbs that gives you that 'celebrity pram feature.' The bassinet has a reversible mattress that has a cover with cool mesh on one side for summer and cozy micro-suede on the other for the winter and zips off easily for cleaning. There is also a handle on the canopy of the bassinet for easy portability.

It has a big basket and canopy, fabulous adjustable handle, great wide tires, an included bassinet and an easy fold, but we bet you are wondering how it maneuvers. Well, you won't be disappointed in that feature either because the maneuverability is amazing! The Vista turns on a dime and even with an older child on board strolling through gravel, it's easy to push.

Keeping in tune with the other high-end strollers, Uppa Baby neglected to give us the cup holders, baby and parent trays we multi-tasking moms long for. If we had to make one change, that would be it. Maybe just one holder for our Starbucks is all we ask!

There are four color choices that are simple, yet divine and are a hit with not only moms but many dads we know as well. Retailing at $599, you get all the fabulous features of a luxury stroller system.
