UPPABABY Vista Albee Baby

[lmilhiser]

Hi -- I have been trying to decide on strollers and think I want to go with the UPPABABY Vista . I see that Albee baby has it in the maya yellow color for $500. Anyone had success receiving the stroller from Albee and anyone find any extra coupons to get the price even lower? I was worried reading some bad reviews on the store but I do not want to spend the $679 for the stroller and cannot seem to find a better price then Albee. I live in a metro area but there is only one used on on craigslist and it is listed at $450, so the maya yellow one seems like a good deal to me.

Thanks!

Gilt had them cheaper, I think $399. I missed that deal but did get the Albee one. The Maya is gorgeous! IMO, not great as a double nor outside. But as a single, it's pretty sweet, ESP if u can use the bassinet.

You could call diapers.com and ask them to price match the albee one you found. Diapers.com has a great return policy and overall great customer service imo.

Diapers.com doesn't carry uppababy. Though if you search for uppababy, it takes you to the b-ready results, LOL. Also, I thought someone here posted they don't do pricematching anymore as of last week.

OP - $499 is a good deal on a Vista because they are generally excluded from coupons (uppa requirement for its retailers). Albee never has coupons on sale stuff either.

No uppa at diapers.com and no pricematching anymore...

You'd have a hard time finding a new one for less than $499, which is a SUPER deal. Once the Mayas are gone, the best you can sometimes do is 10-20% off a few times a year at different places for a few days (which would be $543 at 20% off - though the last time I saw one 20% off was last December so I wouldn't count on that). I was able to snag a gilt one last month, but they sold out quickly. I'd grab the $499 one - you'll have a 2 year warranty, and if you don't love the color, you can get a swap kit for $100. But you still have the gorgeous graphite frame!

Oops my bad - and what a bummer that there's no more price-matching!

thanks all!! i called the baby superstore great beginnings which is within an hour drive and they have the maya one and will match the albee price! the guy on the phone strongly suggested i come in and make sure i like it before buying it. he said it was really heavy and not one of his favorites. i am excited to have that option, i like the idea of buying it from a store that way return is easier, etc.

anyone out there that doesn't like the uppababy vista? the guy made me nervous....

I really like mine, though not necessarily as an everyday stroller for my 2 year old. Though if/when I have a second, it would be my main stroller for the first 6-9 months I would think. Then I'd probably switch back to the bee plus...
The vista is just heavy (relatively speaking) and is a two piece fold when the seat is reversed. When the seat is forward facing, it's a one piece fold.

HTH!

I love Great Beginnings!! They have a ton of strollers. They also have a 20% off coupon they email each month. I just double checked and it looks like they now exclude UppaBaby, they used to have no restrictions. But if you'd like me to email it to you I can do that, in case you find a different brand stroller you like instead.

Yes, Great Beginnings is awesome and they carry stuff nobody else around here does. Though they do have strange holes - no bumbleride, for example. You can drive down 355/270 and hit the Buy Buy Baby too if you need to.
