We are just about to order the Sola city for our first child to be.
Other contenders were- all affordable price cathegory
Graco Evo (looks too plastic and cheap to me),
Joie Chrome (like but not sure how good are the wheels for walks on grass and unpaved roads)
Mothercare Orb- love the look, but looks like they have lots of quality problems later on
Mamas and Papas Zoom- same as Sola city, but 3-wheeler, however wider so maybe not so good for public transport?
We live on outskirts of London, totally dependable on public transport- mostly bus and trains, I assume this will be heavily used as we have no car.
It needs to be able to handle occasional walk in the middle of city as well as on grass in parks and unpaved roads in the forest.
Sola city looks to have quite suitable wheels and some suspension for offroading. Shopping basket looks OK, the walls are low, but hopefully we will be able to pile stuff in high as there is lots of space.
It does not have the bumper bar, I am not sure if the bumper bar has any function but most strollers seem to have it, honestly I like the look with no bumper bar and would be easier to put child in and out, but just curious what is it for.
Currently it is on offer of basis, seat and carrycot for 275 what is a great deal so our hand is itching.
Any advices? Should we look again on some of the contenders or other models?
