The baby also needs to get enough rest beforehand so that they do not have a meltdown or fuss all through the journey.

Both before and after boarding, you need to figure out a good way to carry the baby, and all your luggage. You’ll also need to bring your baby’s stroller along whenever you travel. It will make things easier for you to carry everything through the airport without breaking your bag. 

Some strollers, namely the UPPAbaby Vista, are simply perfect for traveling with as they are easy to fold whenever necessary.

Once you have already folded the stroller, you have to:

2. Make sure that the axles of the wheels are facing each other and that they poke through each wheel spoke.
3. Put the stroller inside the bag with the seat facing forward. For directional purposes, look at the directions given on the bag
4. Always position the handlebar towards the bottom of the travel bag.

Q. What should I do if I have a hard time folding the UPPAbaby Vista?

If you have any problems folding your UPPAbaby stroller, follow troubleshooting steps below:

1. Check to confirm that the black plastic tab and the silver pin on the left side of the frame are not physically damaged.
2. Ensure the lower side button of the handlebar can squeeze in, and the handlebar can slide up and down.
3. Simultaneously squeeze the height adjustment button on the handlebar and the black plastic tab. Try pushing the handlebar downwards into the frame. You will notice some form of resistance. Keep pushing the handlebar for about a half an inch further than you should be able to fold the stroller.
