Default oh no, another object of lust!

I just got back from a wedding where I was able to see a Vista IRL for the first time. So pretty, I felt so out of style with my snap n go

So I checked my local craigslist when we got home and someone from my city posted one today, coincidence?

I do not need a Vista, I do not need a Vista....

I also have stroller lust when it comes to the Vista - specifically the Maya one. Only problem is I don't have a baby for one.

enabler here! if your only stroller is a snap n go, then yes, you do need the vista. it is not a coincidence, it is sign. go check it out. what's the worst that can happen? you buy it, later regret it, and then sell it on craigslist?

What year was it and how much was it? That will help me to decide whether or not to enable you....

I'd go check it out. If there aren't B&M stores in your area that carry the Vista, then this one will be snatched up in no time.

It's not my only stroller, i have a BOB too. I've been planning on buying a lightweight car stroller soon (as soon as I decide). I really dont need it, I mean we drive everywhere, so I use the BOB for walks and snap n go (to be replaced with new lightweight) for the car.

I was thinking my only selling point to dh is the ability to add the rumbleseat.....for future yet to be conceived children.

I think it was a 2008, which means you would have had to retrofit it to add the rumbleseat I think. We put my 18 month old DS in an Uppa and he didn't have much room, if that makes you feel better... Though it is a nice stroller. But big...

If you have a BOB, and you're looking for a car stroller, I'd probably grab a Triumph or something. The Uppa is def not a car stroller! It might be kind of redundant with the BOB (except for the rearfacing part)
Someone posted that the Macs at TJMaxx/Homegoods are clearanced now. Maybe you can score a Triumph for $70!

I would look for a Bee on CL so you can get that lightweight/compact stroller for the car and have the bonus rear-facing feature.
