Mamas and Papas Sola2 travel system

Anyone else gone for this? Pros? Cons?

It seems to be the most affordable one that we like. It is just such a big purchase, and so hard to know if you are making the right choice .

I got a sola push chair from ebay a few years ago (new ex shop stock). Dd2 loved it. Have now got a used Carrycot bit from ebay to go on it for dc3.

Easy to store in boot, easy to fold. Feels sturdy. In pushchair mode goes forward and backwards facing and seat is high up which dd2 really liked. Always goes flat nicely for naps.

It did look very easy to use in the shop, but then they always look easy. It seems pretty lightweight too, which is good as I have an old wrist injury that sometimes gives me grief.

Its perfect !!!

I have back problems and have never had a problem pushing this (its lighter than a stroller to push - just glides along really well). It folds/unfolds a damn site easier than most, is easy to get up and down curbs (found some seemed to have the weight balanced wrong for and it put strain on back. You dont need the carrycot section, as the seat lies flat itself. The joined handle is good for one handed stearing (it turns really easily even one handed). It can be folded with seat unit on. I really love mine.

I was the only one of my mom friends who didnt move on from the big pushchair to a stroller (most did when baby was 6-12months) because they found their pushchairs, heavy clumbersome, not very manouverable, hard to push. Most of them had to detach the seat section of the pushchair to fold and it therefore took up even more space in the boot. None of this applied to my Sola.

Is that the one which folds up? I'd seen it in M&P and then saw someone with it today at the church picnic so asked them about it and apparently it is really easy to fold.
