"Great concept, poor design"
As silly as it sounds we made our final decision to purchase the Vista because of the piggyBack and Rumble seat options. The piggyBack has given us nothing but a headache! The first one arrived cracked. Great service by UppaBaby and they sent a second board which kept falling off the stroller. The third one finally worked, wasn't cracked, attached fine, but try folding the stroller and storing it in your car with the board! Forget it. I called and spoke to UppaBaby. They were friendly, but they obviously don't know what it's like to be a busy mom on the go. The instructrions aren't clear, they wanted me to keep wrapping the strap around to make it tighter, etc. Forget it. I don't have time to keep wrapping a strap around the inside frame to make it stand up like they advertise. They then point me in the direction of the instruction manual with the board outside of the pushbar, which would require the stroller by stored flat. Well, I've got three in car seats, so guess what? The stroller HAS to stand in the back of the minivan. They say they'll take the board back, but what good does that do me? Can I return a kid? I'm kidding, but seriously, I need the board for the extra kid, and without it, the stroller is just a stroller for one. Wish I had never bought it.

"UPPAbaby Vista piggyBACK"
I initially purchased the 2010 Vista for my infant (3 months) but recently opted to add the piggyBACK for my 5 year old to use on longer outings/day trips. I absolutely LOVE the stroller and the piggyBACK is a nice addition. Installation very straightforward and posed no problems. The board feels substantial enough and rolls easily. That said, it is a bit more tricky to collapse the stroller with the piggyBACK attached and access to the undercarriage basket is limited when the piggyBACK is tethered in the upright position. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase and my 5 year old has certainly enjoyed her piggyBACK rides.

"Awesome for independent toddler"
I purchased the piggyback for my UPPAbaby Vista because I have a 4 1/2 month old and a 2 1/2 year old, who hates being strapped into a stroller (making the double stroller I bought useless). Anyway, I love that my toddler will ride on the piggyback (we call it a skateboard) so I can get where I'm going reasonably quickly. The board is very good quality and easy to put on and take off. I like that it stores up off the ground when I don't have a rider. It is easy to collapse the stroller with piggyback attached when I only have the infant car seat adapter on it. However, when I'm using the regular stroller seat, I have to store the stroller lying flat and sideways. Luckily I have a Honda Pilot, which has a large cargo area. If I had a smaller vehicle, the Piggyback would probably have to be removed each time I put the stroller in the car.

"so cool!"
my son got to pick which buggy we would have for the baby based on this 'skateboard'. he thought this was the most fun to ride on. baby should be here soon.... so we will see! but i love that its wood and not plastic and that it has wheels like his scooter. it was so easy to attach to the buggy too!
