8 Car Seats Compatible With Uppababy Vista (incl. Adapters)

I absolutely love the Uppababy Vista stroller. It glides like a dream and isn’t too hard to get in and out of the car.

But only a handful of car seats are compatible with the Uppababy Vista. You will also need the right adapters.

Car seats compatible with Uppababy Vista come with high safety ratings, side impact protection, and are easy to install.

Car Seats Compatible With Uppababy Vista

1. UPPAbaby Mesa Max Infant Car Seat

The Mesa Max is the best car seat for UPPAbaby Vista strollers because it doesn’t need an adapter. This matching car seat is safe for your baby in and out of the car. 

The baseless installation and easy stroller connection make it simple for you to travel with your newborn.

The supersoft insert will keep your baby comfortable as you transfer them from the car to the stroller. 

The infant insert offers extra cushioning and support for your baby over bumpy terrain, although the stroller suspension will ensure a smooth ride. The one-hand stroller release makes this combo ideal for busy moms.

The extendable pagoda hood means you can keep your baby covered while they are napping or prevent curious strangers from getting too close while you are out walking or shopping.

The buckles are gentle but secure, so you can enjoy walking in your neighborhood knowing your baby is safe and comfortable.

The handle is short and compact, which means it does not add bulk to the stroller. This car seat has limited stroller compatibility, but it works with UPPAbaby, which is a very popular option.

3. Chicco Keyfit 30 Infant Car Seat

With the UPPAbaby Vista car seat adapters for Chicco, the Keyfit 30 infant car seat is a safe and comfortable option for your Vista stroller. 

The 5-point harness keeps your baby secure in the car and in the stroller. The padding is machine washable, which will make life easier for you.

The V2 has a zip-out, extendable canopy that will protect your baby from the weather, and you can use the seat’s adjustable canopy when you transition to the car.
