  "title": "Vista Lower and Upper Adapters: Do You Need Both?",
  "question": "Is a lower adapter needed in addition to an upper adapter for a stroller setup?",
  "answer": "UPPAbaby Vista Lower Adapter: The lower adapters let a bassinet, Aria infant car seat, Mesa car seat or RumbleSeat V2+ be fitted to the Vista as the secondary (lower) seat. The lower adapters must never be used to carry a toddler seat, including a Cruz seat; they are not built for a toddler's weight. UPPAbaby Vista Upper Adapters: The upper adapters are needed to run a VISTA from 2015 onward in a duo configuration with the bassinet, the toddler seat or the Mesa infant car seat, and they add space between the two seats. It does not add a seat; it pushes the second seat position up and back so a bassinet or car seat sits clear of the toddler seat below.",
