The Vista comes with the bassinet. I got mine when LO was 6 months so I never used the bassinet but am planning to use it for baby #2. I live in the suburbs and I love it. It is bulky but it's perfect for long walks around the neighborhood, outings to the zoo/park, shopping trips. I love that she sits super upright and high up so that she can sit up near the table if there aren't any spare high chairs. It super easy to push and has amazing turning radius. I love it and use it a lot.

@Mrs.Hawk71: We have the cameleon - and I like it because I'm short and it's a touch lower than the Vista which I found a little too high for me. It was a gift, so I wasn't as worried about cost. I probably would have gone with the UBV had we been paying for it.

ETA: I don't drive, so for my year-long mat leave, this was my car, so I wanted something that would be really easy to use. I used it almost every day.

@char54: love the huge basket! When LO was tiny and unable to sit in a cart I would just use the Vista as my shopping cart. I would even use it at Costco and it would fit in a good amount of stuff

We have it and really like it. It holds everything, is very sturdy, but it's heavy. I love that i can take it shopping and never have to sling anything over my shoulder. I like that the Vista has extendable handles so I don't kick the wheels (I'm tall). I took E for a walk in the basinette once and hated it. she bounced a lot and the car seat was just better until she was about 4 months old and I could put her in the regular seat. I love taht the seat can face forward or backwards

@mrspastrylady, it's 25 lbs assembled, so not very light, and kind of bulky. And I find that I always separate the seat when I fold it up, so i pop the seat out, fold it up, and then have two components to carry. I wouldn't want to lug it up and down stairs constantly

Love ours! I was also torn between this and the bugaboo cam, and I chose the vista because
- I liked that it folded in one pieces, whereas the bugaboo you need to take the seat off to fold it
- I liked how high the seat is--I'm tall and I felt like I was hunching over to see the baby in the bugaboo
- I looove how big the basket underneath is
- I love the huge sunshade and the adjustable footrest
- it handles the sidewalks, bumps and all, really well and is very smooth
- I loved using the bassinet when LO was a newborn. The only thing I would do next time is maybe get a newborn positioner to help against some of the bigger bumps, which would have been an issue with any stroller I think.

I personally have no issue taking it up and down steps--I just bump it down/up on its back wheels. The folding mechanism can be a teeny bit of a pain to do, but it is generally pretty quick and easy. I'm really happy with it!

glad to hear good things about the ubv! dh and I purchased one on blk Friday and it's been in the packaging till lo comes, but was considering returning for a cheaper one. now I won't
