The canopies cover both seat fabrics should you wish to. However, they don't offer adequate ventilation, so they could appear like a small oven on hot days.

Comparatively to the first Vista, The V2 has made a few improvements to make it even better. The toddler seat is a half-inch higher, the footrest is more space and the canopy comes with an extender fabric that zips out and provides additional coverage. Additionally, the harness has been updated and does not require replaced, making it easier to adjust.

In our Strollers & Multiples lab tests, Cortina Together scored well for its ease of use. This metric is based upon how easy it is for you to fold and set up the stroller. It also considers how easy it is to open and close the snack tray as well as engage and deengage brakes, lift the folded stroller and carry it as if it were the trunk of a car.
The model has a few flaws. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds when fully loaded and puts it closer to the top of our measurement.
