Mamas & Papas Aria

A really light pushchair from birth, I found that i kept kicking the brake and the handle is too low. The basket scraped on the ground when going up curbs. All in all its good for a second buggy but not main buggy.

I like the Aria, but as a 'part time pushchair' rather than a main, as it doesn't feel sturdy enough to withstand heavy longterm use!

It looks smart,it's quite light, it's easy to steer and the tray is really useful, however it does feel flimsy and I'm not a fan of the floating harness,although that is personal preference. I also hate the seat adjuster, as I found it quite fiddly!

Got this as a bargain from Argos for about £80 including the footmuff, changing bag and raincover. Chose it because I needed a lightweight pushchair to take on the bus which folds up small. It did serve it's purpose but broke after 6 months. I now have a McClaren which is lighter, folds up even smaller, is much easier to steer and is still going strong after 18 month's heavy use.

So I would suggest buying a Maclaren instead of the Aria

Great, especially for a new born (must probably your second child)

Simple & fast to put up. Fits the carseat easily

Not a full blown pushchair, but more when you want to keep your sleeping child (the car movement makes them go to sleep) & need to go somewhere away from the vehicle: especially when carrying the carseat would be too heavy/ inconvenient

Having had the Pilko 3 before, this one is so much smaller to store away & lighter to lift out of the car - my wife adores it for the school run

this was the worst pushchair we had, and iv gone through 14 in the last 7 years, so hard to maneuver. would not recomend.
