A: You’re right; there have been quite a few significant changes to the 2010 model of the Vista, which I’ve listed below (although you pretty much nailed them!). There’s certainly nothing wrong with the previous model; the manufacturer just took customer feedback and made their great stroller even better.

Here are the main changes for the 2010 model from the previous model:
o 4 seat positions as opposed to 3
o Seat height higher by 1 ½ inches allowing for more head room
o Removable/washable neoprene bumper bar, 2009 fabric not removable
o Easier step-down foot brake to unlock as opposed to lifting up to unlock
o Continuous tire machine assembly providing a smoother ride as opposed to 3-prong hand assembly; difference also resulting in a black push-in “star” wheel and hubcap vs. 2009 silver 3-spoke wheel
o Plusher seat fabric
o 2010 bassinet has extended 50+ SPF pull down sunshade

So which do you pick? It really just comes down to personal preference. Think about the added features and decide if they’re important to you and if they’re worth paying extra for. I will say that, although there are some big changes, the parents who bought the 2009 Vista absolutely loved it,

As far as the car seat is concerned, all Graco Snugrides are compatible with the Vista, even the old ones. However, you should consider getting a new model Snugride anyway, because safety standards are always evolving and a six-year-old model won’t have undergone the same safety testing that new models have.

Besides, Graco has newer versions out that have improved on their previous models, and they have infant car seats that last longer! One in particular that you should check out is the Graco SnugRide 35 Infant Car Seat, which you can use until your child weighs 35 pounds! http://www.giggle.com/p/26446/Graco-SnugRide-35-Infant-Car-Seat.aspx?s=1&keyword=graco

Best of luck – and hope this helps!

A: Absolutely! The great thing about this stroller is that it’s compatible with a lot of popular car seats, so you can take your pick! It works with the Graco Snugride and Safe Seat models, Graco SnugRide 32 and 25 models, Chicco Keyfit Car Seat, Peg Perego Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP models. Each brand makes a special adapter to work with the Vista, and both the adapters and the car seats are sold separately. This great feature makes it really easy to transfer your baby from the car seat to the stroller and back again!

A: The Vista doesn't exactly convert into a car seat, but the Graco Snugride, Chicco Keyfit 30 and Peg Perego infant car seats will be compatible with an adapter. It's super easy to secure the adapter to the frame and the car seat will click right in!

Both the Bugaboo Cameleon and the Uppababy Vista are fully-loaded all-terrain strollers that come with a bassinet so they can be used from newborn to toddler. The Vista is great for parents looking for a well-made, mid-priced stroller that’s packed with value. It’s also a super-versatile solution for a growing family, since you can add that second seat. And we love that it’s easily collapsible with one hand.

As our premium model, the Bugaboo Cameleon is the definition of mobile comfort with its adjustable suspension that makes it a smooth ride for mommy and baby. We also love how you can customize it by mixing and matching colors! Fun, huh? The Cameleon is about 4 pounds lighter than the Vista, making it easier if you have to lift it in and out of cars frequently, although it doesn’t fold quite as easily as the Vista.

Both strollers offer great features and functionality. I highly recommend you stop in one of the giggle locations for a demonstration of each, so you choose the right stroller for your lifestyle!
