Do you have one of these?
Looking for pros and cons

Why would I want or not want to buy one of these

I have a Vista and a bugaboo. Not the bee though. The basket on the vista is unparalleled. It seems unimportant but it has been a lifesaver (and I have a car so it's not just a grocery issue). Also it handles great in the snow if you are in a cold climate. The wheels are big enough not to get stuck in the snow.
We have the buggy board too which is great for our older child.

Does the vista lay flat and sit all the way up?
I dont like how the city mini doesnt sit all the way up for an older child.
Is the vista light weight
Does it fold easaly?
Is it good for a baby and an older child?
Ive noticed that some carrages/ strollers accomidate babys but an older child doesnt seem to fit well in it..

I'm not the op, but I was wondering does the bugaboo bee have an option for it to have a bassinet?

Do you have to purchase the bassinet separately?
Also is it safe for overnight sleeping like the uppababy vista one is?

I was also wondering if it is easy to push or not?

It needs to be purchased separately.
I don't know how the wheel is, I never tried it.

I have the original bee ('09) and I love it. Still using it with my fourth baby! Folds in one piece, lays completely flat even without the bassinet (never knew it came with a bassinet option) and is narrow enough to fit through any space. It doesn't have the best wheels.

The vista lays almost flat, sits all the way up. Vista is heavy but if you get the uppababy Cruz it's lighter but smaller wheels so not as easy to push as the vista.Works for all ages.

Vista is great for bigger kids- my older kids (5 - 6) year olds still fit in.
It folds pretty flat.
The Vista made after 2010 sits all the way up. Earlier models did not have a fully seated up position

My niece who does baby-sitting says the uppababy is terrible for stairs. I don't have the bee but did manage to use it a few times its a very not sturdy carriage

I used to have the Vista . It's a great solid carriage but very heavy.

I have the 2014 uppababy vista (right before the upgrade!) with a rumble seat and buggy board so technically that can hold 3 kids. Pregnant with #3 and not sure if I might get something new though.

theyre not comparable. I would compare the bugaboo chameleon to the vista. The bee is a more lightweight stroller that is essentially bugaboo's umbrella stroller. The wheels are much smaller compared to the vista's big wheels.

Op-
If you are bumping is there a specific question you have that no one has answered?
