The car seat attaches directly to the UPPAbaby Vista® and Cruz® strollers without the need for adapters, and can also be used with the Minu® and Ridge® strollers with simple adapters (sold separately). The no-rethread 5-point harness adjusts easily with the headrest, offering 25 headrest positions for a perfect fit as your baby grows. An adjustable carry handle features a 4th rebound handle position for added safety in rear-impact collisions.
