Mamas & Papas Sola Stroller (Plum)

I love the design, the pattern and how easy it it to use. However, within the first week of having it, the black plastic side that the purple bar latches into broke completely off. And there are two slides on the back that you have to pull back on to get the stroller to lay down flat for storage. The slider on the right sticks so bad it makes it very difficult and sometimes impossible to slide and lay stroller down. I actually had to put the stroller in my Tahoe completely upright once after shopping because it wouldn't lay down. Not too happy with...

This stroller is awesome! Not only is it beautiful, but it's verd funktsionaalse. I was looking for a stroller that had the option of facing me. This does and also faces out. It is super simple to turn around the seat. It is lightweight and is quite easy to push. Reasonable price compared to other strollers of this quality. I do wish it had a cup holder for me and a tray for baby. I did buy a Britax attachable cup holder and it works great! I am so pleased with this purchase and would recommend it highly!

We bought the sola in plum petal before our cruise trip and now have been using it for three weeks, it's really the best stroller among all the strollers we have owned and tried. I read some reviews before the purchase saying the wheels came off and front wheels appeared to be stuck, we have not had those issues. The wheels coming off seem to be an old version sola and the manufacturer has fixed it from the reviews I read on both U.S. and UK forums. Regarding the front wheels getting stuck - I think it was likely due to the owners didn't raise the brakes all the way up, we didn't know this in the beginning and felt the front wheels were not moving smoothly, but once I read the manual thoroughly and lifted the brakes all the way up, the "stuck" feeling of the front wheels was gone completely. We love the stroller so much and it well worths the money.Pros:-Very stylish beautiful stroller (better looking than uppababy, I was hesitating between mamas and papas sola and uppababy cruz before the purchase and couldn't be happier when I saw both strollers in person after the purchase)-Parent facing.-Smooth ride. I love the big rear wheels! I can push the stroller with one hand.-Everything is so easy and smooth - assembly, switch the facing direction of the seat, adjust the footstep, adjust the harness, adjust the recline position, put on and remove the holding bar, adjust the push bar, brake on and off......-Appropriate padded seat - not too bulky, not filmy, the fabric is soft and high quality, my 6 months old baby girl seems really enjoying sitting and sleeping in the stroller.-Seat is higher than some other stroller - the height makes it comfortable for me to feed the baby when I sit on a chair. The other two strollers we owned have the normal height seat, every time I have to bend down to feed the baby, causing my arm and back pain after a while. Our daughter is still too young to use the high chair in restaurant, now with sola, we just push the stroller closer to the table, play with and feed her, so convenient, worked well each meal we had on the cruise ship! The higher seat also gives a good clearance to the basket underneath so we can put a lot of stuff there.-Stylish and big canopy - some reviewers say the canopy is not big enough, for us, the size is appropriate, and our sola didn't have the net/see through part in the middle of the canopy that another version has, which was complained by parents that caused babies exposed to sunshine & got redness on their skin. Our sola has the peek poo window on the canopy.-Very easy fold and open. We have a mini van, so the size of the stroller after folding is not a problem for us. It is not an umbrella stroller and not compact after folding, it could be a con for parents with small cars but not for us. We actually like it that the fold and unfold is so simple.For us, the sola doesn't have a con although the not too compact size after folding could be a con for some parents. But there is no perfect stroller, the sola is by far the best stroller from the functionality / feature perspective according to our opinion.

I love the bright colors on the stroller and the Patel print on the cover is beautiful the stroller moves with one hand very smooth ride stroller itself is a little havey but my daughter loves this stroller I give it 5 stars
