i had a loola up and liked it.
very easy to fold/unfold
LOVELY to push (even one handed)
quite heavy to lift in/out of the boot, but only because its a one piece fold,you can take the seat unit off if it bothered you.
i only used mine from when my lo was 7-15months,then i bought a buzz (i have a bad back and couldnt lift it into the car), wish id bought it when he was born tho.
what age is your lo??

Big thing for me about the Loola Up is that for some unbeknown reason it cannot cope with going backwards! Now I thought this was a daft complaint until I had to back out of a narrow shop as the isle were too busy to turn. The wheels tend to splay outward and creak A LOT!

Britax Vigour is meant to be good, go for second hand much cheaper!

Don't knwo about the Sola.

What are your requirements? The Hauck/Jeep Infinity is apparently very good and can be bought new or second hand relatively cheap on Ebay. Or pick something and go for second hand.

Mura is VERY heavy! They might have sorted this out now, but it was my "perfect" pushchair on paper until I tried it out.

the newer loola up's dont have such a problem with the back wheels,i returned mine and dorel fitted a whole rear wheel/suspension/brake assembly,very good customer service.

i paid £269.99 for mine though and sold it in new condition and only got £90 for it! so personally i would go for an ebay bargain!
