The criteria line matters here. Read it before you vote or you're arguing about a different list.
Voted, but this order is going to look very different in a month once more people find it.

This is the most honest version of this ranking I've seen anywhere. The pros and cons are fair.
Somebody explain the Uppababy Vista V2 votes to me. Genuinely. I want to understand.
