NP here. So the Cruz is usable in the recline from the beginning? Can i get away with not buying the car seat adaptor? I have a 3 wk old who I mostly wear for now, and I also have a SnapnGo. However I'm eager to get the Cruz so older DC can use the board.

Thanks for any advice.

I am totally in need of the cruz bassinet. my 6 month old was diagnosed with a rare cancer and it's in her spine. We have an ortho brace to accommodate. Can't use a car seat as she is transported in a car bed. She's only 11 lbs. Does anyone know if the newborn seat cushion will make it more flat? I'm not sure it will work with her brace though. It stinks bc they aren't making the 2014 bassinet bc the 2015 are due to come out in a couple months. We need this now. I just bought the 2014 cruz yesterday. Not really wanting to research strollers all over again. The one will be perfect in coming months, but not now. Anyone know anyone at all with the bassinet they wouldn't mind selling. msg me at lkeller_04@hotmail.com. SO APPRECIATE IT!

You don't need it, but I find something delightful about a bassinet instead of a car seat. That's the only reason I did it.

Pp who said I used my vista bassinet a lot for my summer baby. I think this is a good point. If you will do a lot of walking straight out your front door, you will get a lot more use out of the bassinet than if you are driving and then using the stroller. So, I'd recommend it for a summer baby in the city but probably not in other situations.


I'm the Pp. I had a baby this winter so I'm sure that played a factor. I could bundle her up in the car seat or ergo better. Good to know that maybe I'll use it more if I have a summer baby!

With DS1 I was so set on getting the bassinet, and everyone told me it was a waste of money. I got it anyway...and they were right, money and space sucker!

No need for the bassinet. If you are taking out your infant just use the car seat.

I'm not sure if you need it but we have the vista and used the bassinet a ton for our summer baby. It was just too hot to have her strapped into her car seat for a long time. It was nice to be able to put her in a onesie in the bassinet with a muslin blanket over her. It was the only way I felt like we could be out for long periods of time in the early months. I also didn't have to worry as much if she fell asleep on a walk. I could but wheel her into a quiet room when we got home and let her keep on sleeping without worrying she was spending too much time in her car seat.

Ugh. Op there is a bassinet made for the CRUZ. I also just bought the cruz and decided not to buy the bassinet because what I constantly hear from people who bought the vista or bought the cruz + bassinet is that they almost never use it. Maybe as a "bed" for baby to sleep in those early days, with a bassinet stand.

I also remember how it was with my first child and I really like the convenience of just picking up the infant carseat and prop it in the snap n' go. This time I won't' have the snap n' go but I got the adapter for the uppababy cruz.

I did not get the infant snuggle thing because I plan on wearing the baby interchangeably with using the infant seat. If I think I need it after the baby is here, Iw ill order from Amazon.



What's the "ugh" for? I have a Cruz and unless something changed in the last year, there was no bassinet offered when I bought it - only for the Vista. Am I missing a product update? Is it possible for you to answer without a stupid comment like "ugh"?


Sorry, I am just cranky, bitchy and tired lately.

PP here - I stand corrected, I guess they've introduced one since I bought my Cruz in 2012. Sorry for the outdated advice. But I stand by what I said earlier, which is that you don't need to blow $200 (!) on a bassinet since the seat reclines fully. I did buy the snugseat insert and it was great.

First time mom - and got the UB Cruz bc its a little lighter than the Vista. Of course it doesnt come with the bassinet. Wondering if I need to get it. We have a car seat adaptor and I have the infant snug seat for the uppa seat ... need the bassinet? We live in the city and do expect to go on walks often. Thanks.
