Which? say the Mamas & Papas Sola is a best buy. But do YOU agree?

It looks easy to use and er, nice

Or is there something REALLY annoying about it?

Yeah it goes totally flat - which is also handy when they get older and don't want to get in the buggy, much harder to escape from lying flat then once they're harnessed you can sit them back up. I am really baffled about people thinking the basket is crap, I have a Maclaren which I use more now and the basket on that is tiny and inaccessible but I can get about a weeks' shopping in the Sola. have they changed it? Mine is from when they very first came out.

Haemorrhoid Maclaren's (and other umbrella folds) are well known for they're useless inaccessible shopping baskets. Proper parent facing pushchairs are usually quite good for basket space but not so much on the Sola. I think the design of it being so open is part of the reason it's not great though.
We have a B Dual too and the basket is enormous but I wouldn't want it as my only single as it's very wide, the same width as the Quinny Buzz which I hated, and also had a more-than-useless basket!
