UPPAbaby Vista V3 vs Nuna MIXX next
The Vista V3 and MIXX next are both heavy, reversible full-size strollers, and the pair is separated by wheels, folded shape and newborn setup. The Vista costs $1,000 and weighs 27.6 lb with the seat; the MIXX next costs $900 and weighs 28.3 lb before the arm bar and insert. Folded, the Vista measures 16.3 x 25.7 x 33.8 inches. The MIXX next is a longer package at 27.5 x 23.6 x 19, so it is long but shallow. Both stand when folded. The MIXX seat reclines flat from birth, with a bassinet sold separately, while the Vista seat only starts at 3 months. Car seats: Mesa and Aria click directly onto the Vista; the MIXX takes a Pipa through an included ring adapter. Only the Vista adds a second seat. Owners report that big MIXX wheels keep babies asleep on gravel and snow, but that larger babies slide in the shallow seat. Neither is a clear winner, and the car seat you already own decides more than either stroller does.
Folded, the Nuna MIXX next makes a 7.14 cu ft box to the UPPAbaby Vista V3's 8.19 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the UPPAbaby Vista V3 misses by 11.8 in and the Nuna MIXX next by 10 in. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 is 0.7 lb lighter by its maker's figure (27.6 lb to 28.3 lb). The Nuna MIXX next is newborn-ready as sold; the UPPAbaby Vista V3 needs a bassinet, insert or infant car seat for the first months. UPPAbaby Mesa seats click straight onto the UPPAbaby Vista V3; every seat listed for the Nuna MIXX next needs an adapter.

UPPAbaby Vista V3: what it gives up
- 27.6 lb with the seat, before any second seat or bassinet
- 25.7 inches wide even folded, so it eats most of a small trunk
- Not newborn-ready out of the box: bassinet or SnugSeat is extra
- $999.99 list for most colourways, the most expensive UPPAbaby here
- Owners report a fixed double layout: the bassinet rides low, the main seat can't go on the bottom, and taller toddlers outgrow the RumbleSeat
Nuna MIXX next: what it gives up
- 28.3 lb before the arm bar and insert are added
- Folded package is 27.5 inches long
- Owners report older babies sliding down the shallow seat toward the crotch buckle
