Hi guys Michelle here with the Baby Cubby and today we're gonna be reviewing the UPPAbaby
Vista stroller travel bag.
This is a wonderful piece of equipment for you world travelers out there who also love
the Vista Stroller for a couple reasons.
Number one you can gate check your bag.
Number two it's super easy to roll around the airport once you put it in your bag and
then number three UPPAbaby is fantastic and for and has a great warranty on the travel
bag for your stroller so for the first two years after you purchase your Vista Stroller
it is under a full warranty.
And if you travel with the stroller in your travel bag, UPPAbaby will actually replace
your stroller or broken parts if anything gets damaged so that's an awesome warranty
that we haven't heard of anywhere else which is why we wanna talk to you a little bit more
about this bag.
Kay guys so I'm gonna show you how to set up the Vista so that it can go in the travel
bag.
So you cannot do it with both seats they do have a separate bag for the rumble seat, so
we'll start first by removing it, so just unclip it right here on the edges and then
we'll remove both of the adapters as well, and if you have any questions about how to
remove these we do have a how to on our Vista Stroller on our Youtube channel so feel free
to go check that out so you can learn more about how to take everything apart and set
it all up again if you need to.
SO now we'll go ahead and fold it down, the handle bar does need to be at it's lowest
setting.
The toddler seat actually needs to be at it's second incline setting.
So what you're gonna do is go ahead and put it at the very top, press the button and just
let it recline until it clicks into that next setting, it will be even with the bar.
Now we're gonna go ahead and fold it.
And it will automatically lock into place.
And then this footrest needs to be at a 90 degree angle.
So go ahead and push these buttons in and then go ahead and push that down until it's
at that angle.
Now we are ready to remove the wheels and place it into the bag.
So now we'll go ahead and unroll the bag, it is rolled up in a nice like travel size
so it's not gonna take up much room in your hotel room or anything.
Go ahead and undo the velcro strap, unthread it through the plastic loop and then unthread
it through the loop as well.
And now we're gonna go ahead and unroll it.
SO I do wanna note that you do need to register both your bag and your stroller in order for
that travel protection warranty, so you we will link it below that webpage on UPPAbaby.com
and then you'll need the serial number for both of these.
The serial number for your bag is found in here- just at the edge of your zipper, it's
this little red number right here is the serial number for your bag.
So, just make sure you register it so that you can get that warranty cause that travel
protection is like one of the best things ever.
So we're gonna go ahead and remove the bag for the wheels right here.
And then if you look inside the bag, there's actually a great picture of the Vista stroller,
and so it's just really straight forward what you actually have to do to put it in.
So before we can put it in though we do need to remove these wheels over here, UPPAbaby's
made it really easy, all we have to do is press this gray button in the middle of the
wheel.
So just press it, and then pull it out.
Done.
Same thing on this side.
And then what you're gonna do, one wheel with the spoke facing up, one wheel with it facing
down and you're gonna put these together so that the spokes kinda go through the other
wheel.
And then we're gonna take these and place them in the bag.
This will just protect your wheels as well as your stroller from the spokes themselves.
So, always a good thing.
We are also going to remove the belly bar from the Vista from the toddler seat, again
if you need any information on how to do that we do have a how-to on our Youtube channel.
And this has a special pocket in the bag, we'll add it after the stroller since we have
found that it's easier to add it once we put the stroller in the bag.
Kay, now we're gonna go ahead and add it in.
So we'll just have to flip the stroller around and match the picture.
And it should be noted that you have to get the frame in just right otherwise you're gonna
have a really hard time zipping it up.
In the picture it shows the wheels being kinda upright we found that it's much easier you
can get a much better fit if the wheels are turned a little bit.
So they'll just kinda be turned in a little bit.
And then you'll just wanna shimmy as close to this side of the bag as you can.
Keep in mind that you'll know you have the right fit when these edges can go up over
the frame like this on both sides and when your handle bar is pretty even with the top
of the zipper over here.
So now we'll go ahead and add in that belly bar.
And the belly bar pocket is just at the base of the bag.
So we'll just add that in so it's nice and safe.
And then we'll also go ahead and add this wheel bag on top of the toddler seat.
Now we're ready to go ahead and zip the bag up.
Keep in mind it is a really really tight fit.
That's to protect your stroller, but it shouldn't be so tight that you like can't zip it up.
If that's how tight it is then you've probably put the frame in wrong so you'll just wanna
make sure, like mess around with it a little bit more.
Until you can get the frame in correctly.
So it's especially tight over some of these like over some of the adapters like where
the belly bar goes and things so just kinda tuck and stretch where you need to.
And you can stand it up, this one they do, Uppababy did say that it will stand with the
Toddler seat inside of it, however it does need to be at like exactly the right place.
SO it's a little hard to get, but it still rolls super easy and then what you'll do is
you'll just store this strap by putting it through this fabric loop right here and velcro-ing
it.
That's all there is to it!
So you can also put the bassinet with the stroller frame into this travel bag as well,
you can't do it in conjunction with the toddler seat this is instead of the toddler seat.
So let me show you how to do this too.
So what you're gonna do is go ahead and unzip this little foot muff cover.
And then we're gonna take out the mattress.
And then inside there's two little tabs that you can pull to go ahead and collapse this,
so we'll just pull them tight or pull them out so it collapses the bassinet.
We'll go ahead and collapse that all the way.
And you'll also need to collapse the canopy with these two inside buttons like I did obviously
because the canopy isn't gonna be able to fit in there.
We'll go ahead and zip this foot muff back on.
And then what we're gonna do is the canopy's gonna go in the same place that this seats
canopy went.
So the canopy's gonna will go up here next to the handle bar.
So we'll go ahead and place that in, there is a little trick with the bassinet you do
need to raise the Vista's handle the stroller frame's handlebar just a little bit in order
for it to lay flat in the bag.
And this one with the bassinet is does stand a lot easier by itself so it's a lot easier
to get it to stand by itself than it is with the Toddler Seat inside.
So now we're gonna show you how to put the travel bag back into storage so you can store
it in your hotel room, or in your stroller basket as you're getting to your hotel.
So first we're gonna take the wheel bag and put it right back in, then we're gonna go
ahead and zip up both sides of the bag and I always like to leave a little bit of space
at the top in the zipper just to let some of the air out as we fold it up.
Just makes it a little bit easier.
Then we're gonna go ahead and take this you'll kinda fold in both sides, and kinda fold this
at the same time.
And then you're gonna go ahead and just kinda roll it the same way you'd roll like a sleeping
bag, so just nice and tight.
And then we're gonna take this velcro strap, it's already through our fabric loop for when
we stored it once everything was in the bag.
And we're gonna put it through the plastic loop up here.
Pull it tight to keep it all tight.
And then just velcro it in place.
So if you're traveling with two kids we hear the question a lot "what do you do with your
rumble seat or with a bassinet if you have it as a second seat" The answer is this handy
dandy second seat travel bag.
So, it's just a little bit smaller than the regular size one but it's still set up the
same.
You do still need to register it along with your accessories so if you bought a rumble
seat kit you need to go register your rumble seat kit as well as this bag.
And the number you'll find in the same place it's just gonna be at the base of the zipper
right here on this little tag with the red numbers.
So, there are no pictures to guide you in this one, however, there are well there are
some pictures for pockets um so what we'll do there is a picture for adapters to go into
so we'll take our two adapters for our rumble seat and place them in this pocket- and then
we'll also take our belly bar and we'll place it in the belly bar pocket which is right
here.
So we're going to place our rumble seat in here with the canopy up by the zipper just
like how it is in the regular travel bag.
And then the nice thing about this bag is it has a carrying handle but then it also
has a shoulder handle too.
Like I was saying, this has a nice carry handle, it is adjustable so if you're short like me
or tall like my husband we can all be comfortable.
Once you're all done this is your whole travel system so this one will roll with you and
this one you can go ahead and carry.
Either with the handle or with the strap.
Kay so at this point I just wanna remind you guys if you have any questions email us at
hello@babycubby.com or comment below, we are more than happy to answer questions for you
and we love finding out new information for you guys.
So I just have a few tips for you when using your travel bag system for the Vista Stroller.
So number one make sure you register it, again you need to register your stroller as well
as the bag system.
And it's good for the two year warranty that comes with the purchase of your uppababy vista
stroller.
Next, make sure that you place the belly bar in last, we found that that was a lot easier
to get the frame in rather than having the footrest get caught on the belly bar as you
were putting it in.
After that we always recommend if you do have a partner that can help you it will be a little
bit easier and faster, and then please practice before you go, we do not want you in the airport
trying to figure out how to get this in and not being able to and missing your flight
or getting stressed so it's easier to zip it up on both sides rather than trying to
zip all around like I did on the video and then as well keep in mind it will be tight,
and it's supposed to be cause that will protect your stroller the best but it might stretch
out a little bit with use so it might get a little easier over time.
If it's super tight maybe you wanna let it sit overnight before you go on your trip just
to kinda stretch out the bag a little bit.
