Pushchairs
Oyster vs Sola vs BJCM

I have decided I need a new pushchair. My recaro akuna travel system is too bulky and my umbrella fold stroller too cheap and bumpy. I'd like a compact fold stroller, with reclining seat which folds down without taking off the seat unit. The oyster, sola and BJCM all seem to tick the boxes but can't decide between them. Any pramoholics out there able to advise or suggest other alternatives? Thanks :-)

How long have you got to decide? I will have all three of these in the same place next week or two and can photograph and sum up if you have time. I think a thread earlier said that you need to remove the seat to fold the Sola.
But in the meantime you wont get easier than a BJCM although its wider than the others, and the seat only forward faces. Also I believe....but again dont know as yet...that the Oyster seat is quite short....so again the BJCM would last you until the end of your pushchair days.

There's also the Britax B-Agile - in general rules get the B-Agile if you like/need a low handle and the BJCM if you like/ need a taller one.
(However I am 5ft 6ins and the BJCM was the one for me but I have a friend on here who is 2ins taller and she preferred the B-Agile.)

The Sola folds with the seat on if in the forward facing position, but needs two hands and not exactly compact, at least not compared to BJCM
