When to use the UPPAbaby rumble seat?
You can use the Rumble Seat for your baby as young as 6 months old to 15.8kg. If your baby is smaller in size, it will be better to wait till they are close to 6 months of age, when they will be more comfortable using the seat.
The adjustable-height canopy for a seat back height in the Rumble Seat is 17-20" while UPPAbaby recommends a height limit of 36" tall for best use. Since the Rumble Seat doesn’t have adjustable calf support, you’ll have to switch to the Toddler Seat when your child get’s to the toddler stage.
How to use the UPPAbaby Rumble Seat
Where does Rumble Seat go on UPPAbaby?
The Rumble Seat only goes in the lower position of the stroller while the Toddler Seat goes on the upper. The Rumble Seat can be used front-facing or rear-facing, as well as recline- it's the multitasking stroller seat of your dreams!
Do you need an adapter for Rumble Seat?
Yes, you need adapters to easily add and remove the Rumble Seat from the frame, and these come included with your purchase and are not sold separately. These adapters are specifically designed for the Rumble Seat and are not compatible with UPPAbaby’s Toddler Seat, MESA car seat or Bassinet.
Checkout this video from UPPAbaby that shows you how to easily attach the adapters to the lower part of the VISTA stroller.
Can I put two Rumble Seats on my UPPAbaby VISTA?
No, because the Rumble Seat is not interchangeable and can only go on the lower part of the frame, you cannot use two at the same time. The VISTA strollers can only hold one Rumble Seat together with a Toddler Seat, Bassinet or compatible infant capsules.
