Does The Britax Car Seat Fit In UPPAbaby Vista?

Even though the UPPAbaby Vista is a versatile stroller that can accommodate a few other brands of car seats, unfortunately, Britax car seats are not among the car seats you can use with UPPAbaby Vista strollers.

I’m not sure if UPPAbaby would make a special adapter for Britax car seats in the future, but there is none, for now, to use with the stroller. You may have to have a change of mind if you were planning to pair the two brands.

If you have either a Britax car seat or an Uppababy stroller, there are other pairing options you can explore.

However, if you are planning to buy a stroller and a car seat, we always recommend buying both from the same company. That way, you don’t have to bother about compatibility issues.

Chicco car seat (KeyFit Series)

The infant car seats in this series include KeyFit, KeyFit 30, KeyFit 30 Magic, KeyFir 30 Zip, KeyFit 30 Zip Air, and Fit2

These Chicco KeyFit infant car seats are compatible with UPPAbaby Vista (2015 -2019) and UPPAbaby Vista V2. You can also use the Chicco KeyFit car seats on UPPAbaby Cruz and Cruz V2.

Here’s the adapter you would need to connect a Chicco car seat to UPPAbaby strollers.

At What Age Can I Use A Britax Car Seat On Strollers?

A car seat is meant to be used from birth. As a matter of fact, you need an infant car seat to transport your baby from the hospital back to your home.

Therefore, if you have a Britax car seat, you can start using it on a stroller as soon as possible. Nevertheless, using a stroller for a newborn is not the safest thing to do.

You might want to wait until your child reaches about 2 to 3 months old before walking with him/her in a stroller.

Do I Need A Base Or Adapter To Use Britax Car Seats On Strollers?

If you have a Britax car seat and a Britax stroller, your baby’s travel system is set already. You don’t need an adapter or car seat base to use a Britax car seat on a Britax stroller. They are designed to pair safely without any extra features.

However, if you are buying any of the other brands of strollers that are compatible with Britax car seats, you will need an adapter.

In most cases, you will need to buy the Britax car seat adapter separately to use the seat on other strollers. Although, a few brands of strollers include the adapter when buying the stroller.

Check with the brand of the stroller to know if you need to buy the adapter separately.

How Long Are Britax Car Seats Good For?

Britax car seats are good for use between six and ten years from the date of manufacture (DOM). Note that the time starts counting from the date the car seat was made and not from the day you purchased the seat.

You should always check the car seat to find out the exact date of manufacture and when to stop using the seat. This is because, over time, the materials used for the seat degrade and become unsafe for kids.
