If you are a new parent, the Uppababy Vista stroller is probably one of your prized possessions. It has become an extension of how you get around and how you spend time with your little one.
This post will tell you how to fold up a Uppababy Vista Stroller so that it can be stored in a safe place or transported easily.
Steps on Folding up an Uppababy Vista Stroller:
Step 1. First, disengage the locking system by pressing on both sides of the release lever. This will allow you to pivot one side of the frame down and in towards your baby’s seat.
You should be able to see how it locks into place when you close it. Pivot up and out with that same arm so that it is also flat against a surface (your dresser or table for example). Make sure not to bend any other parts of the stroller while doing this step as well! Doing so may cause damage to your stroller.
Step 2. Repeat these steps starting from where we pivoted away from our left-hand side (or right if you’re looking at yourself) until all four wheels are touching each other end over end.
Step 3. Now, we’re going to do the same steps on the other side. Fold up one arm and hold it against your chest/body while you pivot down with that hand until you see how it locks into place in a flat position.
Pivot back out away from yourself so that this part is also touching another surface (your dresser or table for example). Make sure not to bend any of these parts when doing so as well! Doing so may cause damage to your stroller.
Step 4. Repeat these steps starting from where we pivoted away from our right-hand side (or left if you’re looking at yourself) until all four wheels are touching each other end over end again.
Finally, fold up both arms together towards the top of the stroller and lock them in place with your right hand.
How do you collapse a stroller?
Step 1. To fold up the stroller, first, release any attachments on either side. These could be a canopy or cup holders that are not needed when folding it up.
Step 2. Next, take the handle and rotate it away from yourself.
Step 4. Then fold up both arms together towards the top of the stroller and lock them in place with your right hand. Make sure not to bend any of these parts when doing so as well!
Doing so may cause damage to your stroller. You should now be holding onto one end of each arm that’s been folded over itself like a taco shape – left side on the bottom, right side on top. Continue pulling until you have only unfolded what was once underneath before folding it back down again (like how we did for our hands at the beginning!)
Step 5. Finally, while still grasping whatever is left hanging out where we were previously rotating our handles around, pivot backwards or forward until you’ve folded the stroller into a compact package.
What else can I do with my Uppababy Vista Stroller?
Step 1. Pack it up in your car trunk for the next time you need to go somewhere with a baby!
Step 2. Use it as an impromptu changing table or nursing station when travelling.
You can even put things like books, toys and other items inside of it to act as extra storage space wherever you’re going.
How long does my Uppababy Vista Stroller last?
The life span of our strollers is about five years if maintained properly; please refer to the manual included for more information on how best to care for your product. However, many customers report owning their strollers much longer than this – often past ten years thanks to how durable they are built (hence why we offer a ten-year warranty!).
How to collapse the UPPAbaby Vista bassinet?
Place the bassinet on a flat surface, with one side down. Pivot back out away from yourself so that this part is also touching another surface (your dresser or table for example). Make sure not to bend any of these parts when doing so as well! Doing so may cause damage to your stroller.
Repeat these steps starting from where we pivoted away from our right-hand side (or left if you’re looking at yourself) until all four wheels are touching each other end over end again.
Finally, fold up both arms together towards the top of the stroller and lock them in place with your right hand.
How do you fold up a Graco stroller frame?
The Graco stroller frame is a little bit different from the other frames, and it may take you some time to figure out how to fold up this type of frame. You first have to push down on both side handles so that they are folded inwards and resemble two triangles pointing at each other.
Then make sure all four wheels are touching together by pressing down slightly with your hands before grabbing them on either end one hand for each wheel (you should use the same hand as pictured).
Then massage these parts until they lock into place, then slide them upwards towards you while continuing to pull backwards. Finally, tuck in the sides with your right or left hand whichever feels more comfortable!
