UPPAbaby Vista Ride-Along Piggyback Board Review

I'm Lucy, my baby is currently 10 weeks old and we’re based in Essex. I’m a busy full-time mum and content creator with a very hectic life! We’re always out and about, usually every day, and love exploring nature and being outdoors.

The Parent Test

First Impressions

When I first opened it, I could really tell the quality, the same as when I opened the pushchair. It's really sturdy and, at the same time, smooth and almost slinky. The materials were lovely and, at first glance, it definitely met expectations. The same with all UPPAbaby products, I just love how there aren't loads of little bits and pieces to attach!

Compatibility & Installation

We used it with the Vista V3, so yes, it's compatible, the perfect fit! It's so easy to click on and attach (like other UPPAbaby products) and is really straightforward.

I didn't need to look at the instructions because it was just common sense how it went together, so it was so easy. It felt very secure when I clicked it on and was also very easy to remove.

Everyday Use & Manoeuvrability

It was great on the go!

It went over curbs and different terrains. It did actually come loose once or twice, but I think that was down to me clipping one side a little higher, so I don't think this is a fault with the board.

The buggy does feel harder to push, but only because my toddler's weight was on it! It's nice and light and sturdy, in my opinion. There's still loads of space to walk with a toddler in front, which I was originally a little worried about, but it was fine, plenty of room.

         

Child's Comfort & Experience

Oh my God, he loved it! Literally didn't want to come off the whole walk!

He really needed something like this so he could hop on and off easily enough, as when we had our second, he was obviously transferred straight out of a pushchair. So yes, it was perfect for him.

Love the rough area where the feet go, so it's not slippery at all. Before, he used to moan that he was tired, but this has changed our future walks!

Storage & Portability

I love the feature where you can fold it into the buggy when the buggy is folded (although I haven't actually worked out how to use that yet!).

I tried to fold it up with it, but I think I did it wrong, and it ended up blocking the buggy from opening again, which was quite hard to fix! But a pro is that it's easy to remove, so that was really helpful!

When it's not attached to the buggy, it's a lovely little size, so it doesn't get in the way in the hallway. It props and stands up nicely against the wall, so it doesn't need to be laid flat on the floor. Plenty of room for it in the boot.

Safety & Stability

It does feel really sturdy when it's attached. Like I mentioned above, it's great over different terrains and going over curbs, which is what I was surprised about, as I thought it might have made it come off! But it didn't.

One side slipped down, but I think it's because I attached one side a little higher, so I think that was on my behalf.

Value for Money

I can definitely see why the UPPAbaby buggy board comes at a higher price point, as the quality really stands out compared to other brands. It's sturdy, well-designed and fits perfectly with the Vista V3, which makes a big difference to how easy it is to use.

I do think buggy boards in general can feel like quite an expensive addition, especially when there are cheaper universal alternatives available. However, those options don't always offer the same quality, fit or ease of use, which is where I think UPPAbaby really stands out.

It's definitely something to factor into your budget, but if you're looking for a buggy board that works seamlessly with your UPPAbaby pushchair, I'd absolutely recommend it. The quality is brilliant, and having something that makes getting out and about with two little ones so much easier is a huge benefit.         

Final Thoughts

The buggy board has fitted into our family routine really well and has made getting out and about with two children so much easier. It's been a real lifesaver, especially when shopping, going for walks or on longer outings. It makes managing two little ones so much less stressful and allows us to enjoy our time out together.

My favourite thing is how practical and easy it is to use. It handles different terrains really well, including going over curbs, and feels sturdy and reliable. It also doesn't get in the way at all when my toddler is standing on it, which makes pushing the pram comfortable and easy. It's so convenient and has made everyday outings much more manageable.

I honestly can't think of anything I would change, as it has been such a brilliant addition to our routine. I would definitely recommend it to any family with two young children, especially those with a toddler who sometimes gets tired of walking.

It makes getting out and about so much easier and more enjoyable for everyone. I would absolutely buy it again and wouldn't want to be without it now!
