UPPAbaby VISTA PiggyBack Ride-Along Board

Do you have a toddler that refuses to sit in the stroller? We sure do! Throw in an infant as well, and trips to the mall/shopping/etc. tend to become not only more hectic but shorter as well! Enter the Uppababy Vista Piggyback. This has become a lifesaver for our shopping trips.

First issue is that while walking I keep “kicking” the board, so that means I need to distance my self from the stroller in awkward position(even with the handles fully extended). For reference I am 5’5 (165cm) tall.

This is very good and adds great functionality to the stroller, but not as sturdy and solid feeling as the actual stroller itself. It has a kind of toy feel to it and sounds loud when it rolls (like a really cheap skateboard). That said, if it was really solidly built it would prob be too heavy and make packing the stroller much harder, so I’m Ok w lighter and cheaper as long as it doesnt break while my daughter is on it (holding up fine a few months into using it). This folds surprisingly well but does add a bit of weight and bulkiness to the stroller when folded. Be ready to have a little more strain on your back every time you load and unload the stroller from the car. Lastly, I would only use this with the extension kit upper adapter to make room between the seat and the child standing on the piggyback. Without it my 2.5 year old would not fit very easily. Also keep in mind that the child really doesnt have any view — she’s just looking at the back of the seat. That said, my little one still loves riding on it and never complains about the view!

This is one of the most terribly engineered products Ive ever used, and they add insult to injury by hideously overcharging for it. Where to begin? First of all, it completely ruins the balance of stroller, particularly when folded. The Vista is pretty easy to move around in its folded position - but with this monstrosity attached, it becomes very difficult to manage. The board sort of hangs off the frame and its very heavy, causing the entire stroller base to become unstable. Also, when walking with this thing, your feet will constantly bang into it. I end up having to walk to the side of the stroller and push with one hand because its far too annoying to walk behind the stroller. Additionally, this board makes it very annoying to unfold the stroller, because the wheels catch on the frame. You have to shove it out of the way while unfolding the stroller. It can lead to some nasty finger pinching situations if you dont do it right.

Life changing. Forget the rumble seat unless you have twins, actually this stroller is terrible for twins. This board has helped out so much

I knew I loved my stroller but thought we may be at the end of being able to use it for both kids until I bought this piece. My 4 year old loves it and I think this will give us one or 2 more years of stroller heaven! It works perfectly for the airport because it fits inside the stroller bag with the stroller!

For the most part, I like the PiggyBack board. One of the reasons I liked the Vista stroller is because it can accommodate 3 kids, so really that in and of itself is a huge pro (I only have 2 kids, but maybe I need more to push the stroller to it’s full potential?). Not a lot of strollers can do that. It’s perfect for my 3 year old who likes to hop on and off when we go on walks/zoo/etc. he is mature enough not to jump off while pushing, so I definitely think there is a certain age range for this. Another pro is that you can fold the stroller while the board is on and that you can easily snap it up out of the way when you are not using it.

My 4.5 year old loves this. So easy to attach, great quality, can jog with it down and folds out of the way

My 3 year old prefers this to the stroller seat. I feel like by the time they get to that age they are over sitting in the stroller and prefer something fun like the piggyback.

I wanted to love this but i just don’t. It’s difficult to get on and off and doesn’t stow well with basket on stroller. Also bc of small wheel size isn’t great on city sidewalks (or non hard surfaces)- flat/hard surfaces only.
