Mockingbird vs. Uppababy Vista 2019 - Stroller Comparison

[@mrs.easterly6731]

We love our Mockingbird!! We wanted a stroller with a bassinet and the Vista was the only stroller that had one...then I saw a Mockingbird advertisement online and your review, so we took a chance. We spent $510 to get the stroller, bassinet, bug net, infant insert, and handlebar organizer. It’s such a great investment and such great quality!

[@tspfull]

Mrs. Easterly I have the vista and the bassinet was the only thing my baby slept in the first couple of months. The thing is that I looked at the mockingbird and their website calls their product a “carriage” and not a bassinet. The biggest thing for me is that I wanted something rated for overnight sleep and it doesn’t seem the mockingbird accessory is rated for overnight sleep. Hence their inability to market it as an actual bassinet. It was important for me to have a safe sleeping option in addition to a flat surface for stroller rides.

[@mrs.easterly6731]

We just wanted a bassinet as it provides the preferred orientation for baby when on the go. We don’t let our baby sleep in it unsupervised because the solid walls are a suffocation hazard. Besides that, the quality of the Mockingbird and Vista were the same and I have no problem with it not being overnight rated.

[@angie8232]

I have the 2018 Uppababy Vista, and I can say that I bought it with not just quality in mind like you said, but we plan on having another baby in about a year so I wanted that option to hold two kiddos with it and the large under basket is great too. I’ve had one or two moms try to make fun of me for spending the money of the Vista, but frankly, I think it’s sooo worth it, and will never feel ashamed for purchasing such a beautiful piece.

[@TheEjimenez]

Angela Crevier see this is reasonable on getting something expensive & reliable if you plan on having a second baby.

[@TheEjimenez]

Girl those ladies are lowkey hating, if you like it & it works perfect for you, you rock it!

[@angie8232]

Evelyn Jimenez Aww thank you so much mama! I love my stroller and I don’t regret and never ever feel embarrassed for having it, my husband and I really talked about it about why we were going to spend that kind of money and we still don’t regret it, and our son loves it, so comfy for him.

[@melinamarcellay1204]

I Really wanted an Uppababy Vista not long after I found out I was pregnant but my husband wasn’t a fan of the price. I stumbled across your first mockingbird review video and was sold almost instantly. They look almost identical with an insane price difference. I made my husband watch your video and he was almost as excited as I was. Our son isn’t due until November but I can’t wait to purchase the mockingbird for him. Thank you for making this video!

[@mrs.easterly6731]

I recommend buying it a month or two early because the lead time is 1-2 weeks for the stroller, but 3-4 weeks for some of the accessories. I LOVE my Mockingbird!

[@mextlyescalante5318]

Did you purchase the stroller? Review?

[@coreyh8589]

Got our Mockingbird a couple weeks ago, and my husband and I love it! Your last review on it is what tipped me (I saw a comment of yours saying the ride was just about as smooth as the Vista). And I think you're spot on-the Mockingbird was my choice 90% because of budget..Can't wait to push our first little one around in it when she comes this November (only 3 more months of being pregnant, thankfully)! Your channel has helped me make sooo many decisions on my registry-thank you!!

[@melinamarcellay1204]

Corey H I’m due in November as well! I’m also going with the Mockingbird thanks to Andrew. He has influenced a lot of my registry decisions lol

[@aubreyarcangel4988]

+1 on our little one coming in November! Also, we just got our mocking bird yesterday (thanks to his review months back)! We’ve only pushed it around the house so far and practiced folding and unfolding. It maneuvers well around objects and feels great.

[@leslieannvelasco66]

We purchased our Mockingbird back in June and love it! I've gotten so many complements on the stroller/bassinet. People seem to find the sun shade makes the stroller look "futuristic"-not feedback I was expecting to hear, but okay. Their customer service has also been spot on, and it was nice to know that we could try the stroller out for 30 days risk free with free shipping both ways should we decide to go with another choice. We kept it for it's affordability and quality and have no regrets.

[@lillyroberts2910]

@@leslieannvelasco66 How do you like the bassinet? I have searched all over but haven't found a review on it.

[@ashleyreardon9356]

I have the mockingbird stroller, and for the most part I love it. My baby is only 5 weeks old, so I have only used it with the carriage attachment which is sold separately. The ride quality is really nice and smooth. The storage basket is huge and is great when going to the store. Mockingbird also has a LIFETIME warranty. The one thing I’m not a fan of is the release to remove the seat/carriage. You need to press the buttons on both sides at the same time while some how pulling up at the carriage to remove it. I don’t know about you, but I only have two hands and find this to be difficult when putting the stroller away. At some point, I would like to upgrade to the vista for the ease of the one hand release. It seems much more convenient.

[@brianpascual8749]

do you have an update on this ? would love to hear it !

[@yvettesantos3934]

bought the vista for the expansion, quality, and the customer service is SOOO amazing! 3 year warranty on all strollers, no questions asked. Uppababy fam for life

[@mrsmeador5891]

With Mockingbird you get a lifetime warranty on their stroller. That's what sold us and the price.

[@Dannymabley]

I find it semi savage that Mockingbird based their business on replicating the vista but cheaper haha. But for real though the expansion is the only reason we didn't buy this one over the Uppababy.

[@flythrive6633]

I would say if you’re looking for a luxury single stroller knowing you’re not going to have another baby for another 3-5 years go for the Mockingbird ! Planning for two kids that are going to be 18months -2.5 years... go for an Uppababy!

[@Lolee56]

You can get the uppababy Cruz which is the same as the vista but for single baby!

[@katielee3320]

Just wanted to again say a big thank you for always making such great, entertaining, informative and straight forward videos. You have no idea how often I look up your videos for your thoughts on products and gadgets related things for baby! My husband and I are huge fans and we really hope that your channel will become more and more successful by the day( we know that it will!) !! Thank you for always providing such honest and detailed reviews! So so sooo helpful!! P.s As well, we really appreciate that your videos are always very visually appealing( from the text, video transitions and filming technique)!! It makes it incredibly easy to follow and watch!! We notice the hardwork you guys put into them! ❤️ Thank you again! Much love to your family from your fans in Taiwan!

[@allylti]

One difference you didn't cover is Uppababy's included accessories. It comes with the bassinet and all the bug nets and rain shield. Looking at Mockingbird, they have a 'carriage' but at least from what they advertise it isn't overnight sleep approved like the Vista bassinet. Either way I got my 2015 Vista used for $300 including car seat adapters for Cybex. Another thing Mockingbird doesn't have. It has lasted for 4 years and I know that if anything breaks, Uppababy sells replacement parts.

[@subjecttochrist]

I’m looking at a used 2016 vista for 200 bucks... what do you think? Worth it?? I’m a little concerned about the weight, for my wife to pick up.

[@jimmyf1312]

He also left out that the Uppababy is a magnesium chassis so it’ll be stronger it’s better quality materials.

[@diannesalazar6454]

May be a little late, but the uppababy isn’t heavy for me, I’d recommend it. It’s also VERY smooth to control which makes it kinda fun and lightweight.

[@viajer2011]

The bassinet cost $100 dollars, so with all accessories still mock... Is cheaper

[@Amy-pe3sq]

FYI I contacted Mockingbird and this was their response about a double stroller: "We are working on an expandable double stroller in the very near future. It’s looking like we’ll be able to release it as soon as March/April (though we’re still firming up that timeline), and it’ll be a new model (rather than adapters for the current model). "

[@BrettWyrick]

But it's March now 😁

[@inessa255]

Do u know if it's out now

[@taylorchristian1051]

Thanks so much! This was super helpful and the double stroller for mockingbird is available. They’re also planning to make it accessible for a third child to ride along.

[@kristenhunt1756]

Yes the double is available now!

[@kishakisha17]

I am not part of the upper income but I knew that I loved the Uppababy so guess what I did.....i saved and got my stroller and don't regret it one bit. If you truly want it than knowing which stroller you love and putting some aside as early in your pregnancy can help achieve it.

[@chrissyd.7525]

Exactly! Just got my UppaBaby Vista yesterday. I’ve wanted it for two years and finally got pregnant this year, so I had the money saved and ready for the purchase! UppaBaby is a luxury stroller. It’s like comparing a Benz to a Honda. They both drive, but one is clearly a luxury item. I’m happy with my Vista!

[@aquietlife5579]

We went with the uppababy over every other stroller out there - and we sure tried out almost all of them! There were two big selling points for us. First, it easily turns into a double that works with a wide variety of ages. We went through IVF so there's no telling how long it'll take for us to have our second child. Second, it has the bassinet feature that's sleep safe. There were other less important selling points for us, particularly the handle that extends upwards as we are tall parents!

[@1vyy]

Thanks for the honest review. Your last video on the mockingbird almost sold me for the product. It’s great that more competitions are entering the stroller market to push the big brands to innovate and provide better customer service! I had a hard time deciding between Uppababy vista and the mockingbird. So far the lack of actual customer reviews really make me hesitate to make the call. At the end, we’ve decided to go with the uppababy Cruz as it’s more comparable to the mockingbird stroller(both single strollers, but lighter). The uppababy Cruz comes with a rain shield and bug shield, when you add the extra costs to the mockingbird, the cost different between these strollers become minimal. Most of new moms are able to get a 15% baby registry completion discount from Amazon for uppababy strollers, and I was able to get mine for 20% off from a online retailer. So the costs comparison is uppababy Cruz for $440 vs mockingbird for $350+$30, it’s only a $60 difference. I think the proven brand reputation and quality of uppababy definitely worth the extra $60. Besides, I think the pull out sun shade from Uppababy is much more convenient than a removable sun shade. We are also planning to purchase the piggy back board down the road when we have a second baby.

[@annieisms]

Yuexin Cao Hi, thanks for this great breakdown. Which online retailer were you able to get 20% off for Uppababy?

[@1vyy]

annieisms Hi, I bought it from bebeangbaby.com. They are certified uppababy retailer located in NYC. If you have 5 or more friends are buying car seat or stroller from them, they will generate a 20% off one time promo code for you all to use it online. It’s more like a group promo code. It’s also tax free if you are shipping to location other than NY or NJ. If you live close by to NYC, you can get 20% off when you shop in the store.

[@robertbrandt1381]

My wife and I have had our Mockingbird for about a month. I was up in the High end market and my wife was more on affordable travel systems. Mockingbird is the middle ground we found. Now if we can speed up time so the baby can arrive! All that is left is to figure out what infant carseat that works with mockingbird. From just pushing around the mockingbird empty it feels great and I love the ability to change the seat direction. That is a feature I was a big fan of.

[@dadverb]

I've been happy using the Britax B-Safe with our Mockingbird. It's worked out well for us and I love the seat.

[@RoyaltyBabe90]

We’re getting the NUNA Pipa car seat from PotteryBarn.

[@MrBoo04]

My wife and I bought the mockingbird and so far we love it. My only concern is the pivot point on the handle were you can adjust it. The long term stability of that joint concerns me. Time will tell. So far we are thrilled. We bought the stroller and literally ever accessories and it was $660. The stroller itself is $350.

[@hadiakhurram1240]

Hey! The mockingbird doesn’t come as a travel system? Right? So you had to get a different car seat? Does that mean using adapters? Could u share the car seat brand as well thanks

[@meganfuller8496]

We are totally sold on the Mockingbird. We're not due until May so secretly hoping their double stroller news is out before then as we're planning for a 2nd in relatively short order... but we can also wait and see what our needs truly are and get a double later. Love that Mockingbird!!

[@dadverb]

If you're really wanting a double, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand is a great option at a friendly pricepoint. Check it out!

[@meganfuller8496]

@@dadverb Nice, thanks! I'll check it out. 👍

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

The mockingbird double is now available for preorder 😊 you do have to buy the second seat, but that's so parents with one baby can get the base stroller and add the second seat on later (which is my plan)

[@flythrive6633]

What about the uppababy Cruz because that’s a single stroller just like the Mockingbird

[@StudioBAS]

We decided on the Uppababy Cruz because its a more well known brand. When we want to buy accessories I know they will be widely available, whereas with the Mockingbird is a new company and could be out of business in a few years when we want more accessories (like the piggy board when we have another baby). Even though the Mockingbird is cheaper, I felt more secure going for a more established brand. Thanks for the comparison!

[@dadverb]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your buying decision. Very valid points.

[@1vyy]

Agreed! We just ordered a Cruz this week. If you can get a 15% or 20% off on the uppababy Cruz. The price difference is really not that much.

Here’s my review of the Mockingbird. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZildo2Nhd1risk Overall, while it’s very similar to Uppa’s Vista V2, I think Uppa is still the stronger option. But for $395 the price is hard to beat.

[@PaolitaDDS]

What makes the uppababy a stronger option if they are so similar? I will be purchasing one of these 2, I want to make sure I make the best decision.

[@janeebee455]

PaolitaDDS buy both and return the one you don’t like lol

[@sfindley28]

I have both. Honestly a stroller is a stroller and serves the same purpose if you love labels you’ll most likely go for the Uppababy. Neither are better in my opinion.

[@kamrynshepherd174]

I have been waiting on this video and my mockingbird stroller comes in today Update now that I have all of my items and everything is put together we love our mockingbird stroller we were going back and forth between the mockingbird and the uppababy Cruz. We decided to pair our stroller with the nuna pipa and they couldn’t be a more beautiful pair. If you were like us just give the stroller a try for yourself put it together and take it into buy buy baby and try them out side by side we if you don’t like it you can always return it and get all of your money back.

[@1vyy]

Kamryn Shepherd we had the same debate, but decided to go with the Cruz. When you add a rain shield and bug shield, uppababy Cruz is not much more than the mocking bird ($60) and its lighter.

[@kamrynshepherd174]

Our concern was the small back tires on the Cruz not price so we then looked into the vista and because of the weight limit on the second seat we weren’t sure if it would really be a good option because we may or may not be able to use the stroller how it was truly intended if our children are spaced too far apart. Also we most likely would not be using the rain shield or the net so not a big deal breaker.

[@tiffaaaanye1]

I dont even know why I’m watching this.. I cant afford either one lol 😂

Mockingbird now has a double. With the second seat, infant car seat attachment, and infant insert, the whole thing come in around 550. They are also working on a standing board to make it compatible with 3 children. Have not purchased yet, but this will likely be what we go with due to the compact size, flexibility, and ultimately, price.

I LOVE my Vista. I did the mistake and listened to my mom who was telling me to get a cheaper stroller and ended up hating it. Then I went and bought the Vista and it’s amazing. It’s expensive but worth every dollar, their customer service is excellent and I love that it comes with the bassinet. I’ve never heard of the mockingbird before but the fact that they copied the UB’s design is ridiculous.

[@TheEjimenez]

Ioanna M. Do you have to purchase everything separately ? Like the bassinet and stuff

[@ioannam.5286]

Evelyn Jimenez if you buy the Vista the bassinet comes with it and it also includes the rain and bug shields. You’ll have to buy the car seat separately though. If you go with the Cruz it will be cheaper but the bassinet isn’t included. I personally used the bassinet till my son was about 4 months old and I would have used it more if he would fit in there. The bassinet is also sleep approved which is good for the first months as you can put your baby in the bassinet to sleep besides you.

Yes! We actually got to see Dax Shepard when he announced Hello Bello's launch. We have used their diapers and they actually were legit.

Not sure about lotions though.

Don't, they're basically identical strollers. If you wanted a double expandable stroller, mockingbird is releasing one in a month or two and it's available for preorder right now. You can also try your mockingbird for 30 days and return it (with paid return shipping) if you don't like it.

I actually really like that all the accessories need to be purchased separately bc I don't give two craps about the carriage and I can save the extra money by not getting it. I'm just gonna use the car seat adapter & the infant insert for when I want my baby to use the seat it comes with (for much cheaper & more options). Two questions: 1) does the stroller come with the full sunshade? it's not clear & i don't see it as an accessory item for purchase. 2) Has anyone with the mockingbird found a snack tray attachment that works? I won't need it for a while so maybe they'll come out with one in the meantime but I can't imagine not at least having a cup holder...

Heads up for long legs. Mockingbird is BEAUTIFUL and the price is not absurd, but if you've got long legs, it probably won't work. I have long legs, and my feet hit the brake bar with every step. The handlebar is also too low at the middle position. At the higher position, it makes hitting the brake bar even worse. I'm really disappointed; I had hoped this would be the answer for me as a single expecting teacher. I will say that the Mockingbird folks are great and acknowledged with total transparency that that's been an issue for customers with long legs. Their return policy allowed me to give it a shot.

I do like that the vista brings the bassinet but not sure what I should do. My 4 year old no longer rides in strollers.

[@emberjane]

I noticed that the Uppababy Mesa car seat is compatible with the mockingbird stroller. This is a long shot but I figured I’d ask; do you know if I could put the Uppababy bassinet on the Mockingbird stroller? The only drawback for the mockingbird for me is that the bassinet isn’t rated “sleep safe”. Thank you for the informative video!

[@angelitem.2071]

But you never mention the fact vista comes with a bassinet, rain cover bug shield for free included in price. Where football others you have to buy separate! The bar in the basket helps for balancing stroller because it sits 2

You can also use the bassinet as a bassinet in your room and you can purchase stand separate.

Covered that in the full Mockingbird review I did previously. You can buy the bassinet and accessories a la carte and altogether it's still $480 versus $900, still making it more affordable and appealing to some parents.

Yes, it can be raised or lowered but unlike the sliding rail of the Vista it uses a pivoting motion to adjust.

[@Fridate]

Dad Verb thank you so much for responding!!!

[@kimbeertee]

Does this come with the baby carriage as well?

[@belladearmon8795]

no you can purchase it for $100

[@dadverb]

Bella is correct. It's sold seperately.

[@K80awoo]

How’s the longevity of the mockingbird? We were gifted an evenflo but after a month of daily walks, the wheels are starting to squeak and wobble. Looking for upgrade to a better quality stroller. Might fork out the $$$ for the Uppa but if the Mockingbird is just as good, we might consider that instead. How has your Mockingbird held up over time?

[@kjc_cal2112]

Have you gotten any updates regarding the double stroller?

[@dadverb]

Unfortunately, no. Until I do, I'd recommend the Evenflo Pivot Xpand: amzn.to/35vsaKq Awesome stroller and similar pricing.

[@JavierRivera]

Hello, My wife love this stroller is on her list, I like it too but I also like the gb Pockit+ All City, do you have any opinion about this one?

[@lyndsayharwell3786]

is the sunshine a worry? I wish it extended further on the mockingbird.

[@dadverb]

No, sun isn't an issue with the magnetic sunshade that it comes with.

[@lindsaycervantes9317]

Thank you for this review! I have been going back and forth between the Vista, Mixx and Mockingbird. The only thing that I’m hung up on is the wheel size differences. We live in a rural area so our strollering terrain, even when paved isn’t the smoothest. I plan on also getting a jogging stroller for gravel and really rough terrain (I’m between BOB and Thule). Do you have any insight on how the wheel size of each of these strollers affects the smoothness of their ride? Vistas wheels are the largest so I would assume smoothest? And Mockingbird is smallest, with Mixx in between. Which do you think has the smoothest ride or would be best in a rural area.

[@ceisenfeld9807]

I live in a very rural area. We went with the mockingbird because of price and it hasn't let us down- for the most part. Deep gravel and sand aren't great, but we've taken it on lots of hiking trails, cracked sidewalks, light gravel roads/trails, etc and it's been a pretty smooth ride.

[@krama017]

Would anyone consider the uppababy used for half price or get a new mockingbird?

[@myanthem16]

Are you going to review the Era? I’m looking for a smaller folding stroller since our car is small 😂

[@dadverb]

I really want to review the Era especially since I love everything from Bumbleride. Not sure when I can get that done but for smaller full-size strollers, I think the Britax B-Lively has a great slim profile when folded. You can always check out compacts like the Minu and Colugo as a daily too.

[@myanthem16]

@@dadverb thanks for the suggestions, I'll look into those! I think what I like about the Era is the ability to reverse the seat to face you as well, which is why I was looking at it.

[@bethanymccarthy2020]

Yes please do the Era!!

[@jennagetty3600]

Which one is better for gravel?

[@dadverb]

Both are bumpy and not nearly as good as an air-filled option like the Bumbleride Era. But between these two, the Vista wins because if its larger wheels.

[@pamelashoemaker2622]

Are the UppaBaby car seats comparable with the Mockingbird strollers?

[@dadverb]

Unfortunately no. The seats cannot be interchanged between strollers.

[@shakiramelendez6555]

Hello, which one rides smoother? I would like to know this before making a decision 🙏🏻

[@dadverb]

The Vista offers a smoother ride.

[@judychung584]

Do you have plans to review the colugo complete stroller?? Would love to hear how it compares to the mockingbird

[@dadverb]

100% yes. I can't guarantee when, but it's definitely on my list.

[@lorenacaronerocha5559]

Can I use the Cybex Aton 1 (from 2014) on the Mockingbird???? Please answer me before the Black Friday 😂

[@tahoefire68]

I can’t find wheel specs for the mockingbird. What are the wheel sizes? Thanks!

[@dadverb]

Rear wheel has a 9in diameter and about 1.75in wide. Front is measuring about 7in diameter and 1.5in wide.

[@angellove242001]

Can you please do a video to compare the differences between the mockingbird and vista bassinets? I’m curious to see if the mockingbird bassinet is as good in quality as the Uppa baby.

[@mrs.easterly6731]

Julie Toy it is! We don’t let our baby stay in it unsupervised, but it’s just as sturdy as the Vista. You can remove it from the stroller for supervised naps indoors.

[@shaemagnuson4441]

Hey Dad Verb! Is the mockingbird compatible with the Nuna Pipa Lite LX carseat? It says it is in on the website but these comments are telling me otherwise?

[@dadverb]

They've designed a new adapter for the Lite LX that works better for $30. Unfortunately, it's still in pre-order and won't ship for roughly 8 weeks.

[@brianellison1]

Please review the Nuna Demi Grow

[@zacpohlenz5252]

Is the UPPABaby Vista car seat compatible with Mockingbird stroller?

[@dadverb]

No, the Mesa is not compatible with Mockingbird.

[@kimberlyoriental6779]

Anyone know where I can get the ride along board for my mockingbird stroller?

[@dadverb]

Unfortunately not available yet. I'm still waiting on them to roll that out too.

[@char0ck]

Thoughts on Colugo?

[@dadverb]

Testing it very soon! On the surface it looks cool but can't say much beyond that just yet.

[@kristinotto102]

Thanks! This video helps so much! I think the mockingbird would be perfect for us if they had double expansion. Until then we have a 2012 Vista which is.... ok haha.

[@dadverb]

So pumped for them to roll out that double expansion. A 2012 Vista in 2019 is a testament to how well Uppa gear holds up! I would gamble that Mockingbird can do the same as well.

[@kristinotto102]

Dad Verb yeah for how old it is it’s in amazing condition! If it had all the features of the newer Vistas, like the rumble seat being able to face either direction or being able to use it as a double with the bassinet I would have absolutely no problem keeping it! And we still have another month or so until #2 gets here and we’re hoping for about 4 kids!

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

The mockingbird has a double stroller available for preorder now (395$ plus whatever second seat attachment you want) 😊 says it will be shipping out in 6-7 weeks

[@frejalister7253]

Remake this with the double please!

[@nicoletwest4866]

We just tried Mockingbird with the Nuna Pippa and Chico Keyfit 30 carseats. The infant car seat adapter is supposed to be universal, but as other customers also indicated it is awful for Nuna Pippa, it just clicks on one side and on the other side it is basically relying on two velcro straps, very flimsy and unsafe. The fact that they claim it is safe to use their stroller with Nuna car seat doesn’t seem to be true and makes us question their company.. UppaBaby stroller works great with both these carseats.

[@dadverb]

Yeah, I've heard the same critique quite a bit and I hope they resolve it. I've used a Britax and it's held up nicely but Nuna adapters are gonna need work based off of what other parents are sharing, especially for the Lite and Lite LX.

[@nicoletwest4866]

Dad Verb Just to clarify, we tried it with Nuna Pippa 2019, not Lite or Lite LX. They do not support those models.

[@vega1938]

Thanks Nicolet! I hadn’t heard that about the 2019 pipa not fitting right on the mockingbird. Rethinking my whole travel system again.

[@thechristensenfam7563]

@@dadverb I know it’s been a couple years and the double stroller is out now. Did they resolve the nuna pippa fitting in the Mockingbird? If the adaptor is the same as before where it’s Velcro, I think that will be a big determining factor in choosing Uppababy so that the Nuna seat fits securely.

[@Steffybernier]

Does Mocking bird have a bassinet like the vista?

[@imaclover1428]

It does, but you have to buy it separately. Plus, I don't think it's approved for overnight sleeping like uppababy's is. But here's the link: hellomockingbird.com/products/stroller-carriage

[@dadverb]

It does, you can buy that addition on their site if you'd like.

[@RoyaltyBabe90]

Emma Yow I’m confused because I keep seeing these comments .... why would a baby sleep in that overnight anyways? Isn’t that what a crib or something like the Halo bassinet is for?

[@strawberrycherrybaby]

@@RoyaltyBabe90 I had the same question. What kind of parent has their baby sleep overnight in stroller?? Even in a hotel or something I would still bring a Dockatot or fold out crib.

[@jannelysaviles4714]

Can you do one for Diono?

[@imaclover1428]

Just out of curiosity, which one? I really like the quantum from testing it in stores, and the flexa looks nifty, but the traverze has horrible reviews!

[@risingsunn1983]

Is mockingbird fine for walks and light jogs on pavements and roads?

[@relrel101]

Hey, my wife and I use it for walks downtown and over grass so it will handle those areas well. I don’t know about jogging though, maybe power walking with it. The front wheels lock which has helped on tough terrain but jogging would be an unknown area.

[@jjeenniis]

What car seats are compatible with Mockingbird?

[@julianalindh]

They have a car seat adapter that fits Chicco, Graco and some other popular carseats (check their website) but it is very easy and I love it.

[@greentofuhouse]

They don’t do nuna so that’s why I went with uppababy.

[@stephaniebelgard6724]

I just checked and they are compatible with nuna (not the lite though)

[@sdmoto1168]

Hey I’m a dad to be and I’m getting really overwhelmed with all the stuff on the market people say I need my wife and I are shopping for a stroller we are looking at the nuna mixx 2 my wife loves it so I think it’s the one we are going to get I just wanted to know if buying the bassinet attachment is really worth it or should we just skip out on it would love to get your thoughts

[@dadverb]

Nuna Mixx2 is awesome. Personally, we never used the bassinet attachment for the stroller. More frequently, we’d use the car seat in both the car and on the stroller. The only times we used our bassinet was for night sleeping and we used a different bassinet brand from our travel system.

[@sdmoto1168]

Dad Verb thank you so much for your reply I’m so overwhelmed with this being my first child and your channel is very helpful thank you !!

[@rose79488]

Actually you missed one thing on the uppababy Vista it can hold three kids the piggyback board is an accessory for an older kid that doesn't want to walk so the Vista is a triple stroller

[@dadverb]

That's a great point. And I gotta say, I friggin love our Piggyback. Our toddler is always so excited to hop on for the ride.

[@michaelesposito563]

I’ve been so close on ordering the mockingbird for the past week. Just can’t see spending money on a single stroller when we already have two... I need to know more about this double option!! Attachment... or a whole different model?! What to do!

[@dadverb]

That I'm not sure about and I wish I knew more. If you're not down to wait and really want an affordable double in the short term, I'd say the Britax B-Ready Double or the Evenflo Pivot Xpand would be decent options.

[@michaelesposito563]

Dad Verb thanks man! I’ll look into these. We have a city mini GT based on insights from friends... it’s decent, but our 15 month old hates that she can’t sit straight up in it... has no leg support when fully reclined... And the storage underneath sucks. All things you don’t look for when you’re a first time parent!

[@SeoulMeetsMexico]

[@MelissaOhh]

[@jingyun4323]

Another thing I don't like about the vista is, when I recline my baby fully, his knees are above his head. It's really not the ideal position to be sleeping in.

[@jingyun4323]

I have the vista and the babyzen yo-yo and I have to say, I prefer the yo-yo. The vista is too bulky, and the worst feature of this, is the brake. It jams at the worst possible moment, read travellator. I was able to push the stroller with the wheels locked. The yo-yo on the other hand, is amazing. It's smaller, heaps easier to push one handed. The brake never jams, and finds insanely tiny. It's my stroller of choice. The vista is just collecting dust in the corner now.

[@dadverb]

Yes, I'm very partial to compacts as a daily as well. My absolute favorite being the Uppababy Minu. Have you tried that one? Very similar to the Yoyo.
