I have the UBV and recently was looking at the rumbleseat. (We were pregnant, had a m/c). Honestly, the rumbleseat was barely going to hold my 20 month old NOW, let alone in a few months. He's 3' tall and 30 pounds, so he would be approaching the weight limit, I believe.

I would think that since they're now calling it a Toddler seat (and it reclines and can be used both ways) that it would have a higher weight limit maybe?

I think the new UBV has a full sized seat for the second seat whereas the rumble seat is pretty small, can't recline and the sun cover is pretty mediocre. The rumble seat is definitely best for short trips or for a kid who just wants to sit for a few minutes. I am not sure if you can use the bassinet with the rumble seat either. Everyone I know with the vista wound up getting another double stroller at some point.

On the other hand, if your older kid mostly walks or if you baby wear a lot it will likely serve you just fine.

It seems like the new version is very similar to the City select which might make your decision easier if you're familiar with that stroller.

@PrincessBaby: It seems like it depends how long you think H will be in the stroller. We plan to have an almost 3 year age gap, so by then, I'm assuming my LO will only want to be in the stroller for short periods of time anyway, so I think the rumble seat should be fine, but if they were going to be really close in age, I would more seriously consider the new one. Also C hated the bassinet, so not being able to use it isn't a big deal to me, but if you used the bassinet a lot, you wouldn't be able to use it with the rumble seat, only the infant car seat.

@oliviaoblivia: I'm not pregnant, but my plan is pretty much the same as yours when the time comes. I hope that works out for you!
