We purchased this carseat adapter for our new Uppababy Vista stroller. It allows us to use our Chicco Keyfit 30 with the stroller for a secure snap-in fit. It is shockingly hard to find stroller frames that accomodate carseats that are not of the same brand, and when you do, some use flimsy straps and other things that I dont feel are secure at all. With this one you hear that “click”, knowing your baby is securely locked in. Grab the orange flap on the back of the carseat to release. Easy.
To take off the adapter you simply press both buttons and it comes right off. It is lightweight and sturdy. The adapter appears to be white in the picture, but it is indeed matte black and matches perfectly with the Uppababy Stroller, which by the way is the best and most versatile stroller around. If you own one you probably already know that.

We got this for our Vista stroller when we decided on the chicco carseat. The adapter attaches to the stroller easily and the carseat locks in to the adapter as it should. We have been out with our newborn at least a few times now, and have liked the fact that we can transfer our baby to the stroller without having to disturb him and take him out of the carseat (especially for short outings). I do have some criticisms. We had to return the first one we received because it was warped and didn’t lock into our stroller right and it was then difficult to get the carseat to lock to it. The second one was much better (no problems, so far). The other thing is that the stroller frame wont collapse and lock (to put in trunk) with the adapter on it. This is a minor inconvenience we are willing to deal with to use this stroller.
Pros:
Allows us to use our Chicco carseat with Vista stroller.
Pretty solid fit with stroller and carseat.
Cons:
Possible quality control issues with manufacture (make sure it fits securely and the carseat locks in it)
Needs to be removed to fully close stroller frame for transport.

We bought this product and returned the snap and go stroller(s) that were on our registry. This adapter works very well, and it allows the chicco car seat to lock into place, unlike the snap and go stroller that doesn’t actually allow a chicco seat to lock. We have been using it for a month and are very happy, no complaints.

One of the deciding factors for choosing the Uppa Baby Vista Stroller was that it would be useful through so many of our baby’s stages. Having the carseat adapter has made everything that much easier. We were able to integrate both of the products we wanted to purchase (carseat and stroller) without having to buy a snap and go type stroller separately. We highly recommend the adapter. If you’re on the fence about it…don’t hesitate….just order. You won’t regret it.

First, if you own a Chicco car seat, you probably love it, as I do, but hate that it is so incompatible with different stroller models. Thankfully, Uppa Baby made this adapter for Chico car seats.
How it works:
- The frame locks into the base (and unlocks) just as easily as the regular seat does (and much easier than the bassinet).
- The car seat “falls” right into place just as it would into the car seat base, clicks audibly, and unlocks just as easily.
Another plus: with the car seat on, the basket is very accessible–much more so than when you’re using the bassinet, for example.
As the other reviewer mentioned, the frame must be removed to fold the stroller, but this just takes a moment. Unlike that reviewer, we had no quality issues, so I cannot comment how often that happens.
Overall, I’m so thrilled with this adapter. I use it on my frame that I bought in Jan 2008, so it doesn’t need the new frame, and I greatly prefer this combination to using the Chicco Cortina stroller that I used with my son.
