I bought this stroller cause I loved the color. It was a great stroller until the wheels started getting stuck and i would have to shove it to get it to go again. i purchased the service plan....DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I have to buy another stroller in order for them to give me my money back for the original stroller I bought. I asked why they couldnt just send me the same stroller and i would send this one back... apparently that is not how the plan works. doesnt make sense but whatever... i just want my original stroller back but when i bought it, it was on sale and toys r us refuses to bring it to the same price to replace the stroller.

Loved the looks of this stroller! Metal frame, great bright pattern and simple construction. There are no really plastic-y parts. My daughter fits great in it from about 3 months to even now at 16 months. Its great, easy to steer and lock the brakes. My tall husband enjoys the adjustable handle. Now the BIGGEST issue I have is the folding mechanism. From the very beginning this thing has been nothing but a pain to fold. There is a push button and slide action to get it to work. The push button on one side does not trigger any sort of mechanism inside the leg to fold it. I have tried and tried for 20 minutes before to get it to fold in the freezing mall parking lot with no luck. Eventually, I just threw the cursed thing into my car unfolded. I have slammed it, gently rocked it, cursed at it, hit it... nothing works to get it to fold easily. For this reason, I would never buy it again.. in fact I wish I had purchased the protection plan so I could return it.

this was so easy to put together. took about 10 mins. the backrest goes easily up and down. since it nearly fully reclines, we arent buying an infant car seat to attach to this or the carrycot. we did buy a jj cole snug inlay for the baby to lay on to be extra snug in while in there. soooo lightweight, too. we bought the footmuff in the grass color as well, and that gives you an extra liner as well. love the color. the shopping basket is also very roomy. i am also going to buy a cup holder or two and snack tray to attach to the stroller. good luck finding one in this color... we lucked out and got the last one in the box at babies r us, then ordered the footmuff off this website. I love green. this stroller is perfect in everyway. carries a child up to 50 lbs. as well and the seat is reversible and so easy to reverse, at that! OHH & metal frame to boot!! wish M&P had a travel case for this that i could find, though. I really need one.

Fantastic light-weight stroller for shopping trips and well-made paths or some rough paths in good weather! The fact you can add a car seat and carry cot makes this very versatile and when used with the car seat the stroller is incredibly compact and perfect for busy shopping trips. The stroller folds down easily and quickly and although it won't fit flat in some smaller cars, the wheels easily remove to make it smaller for travelling. Attractive, light-weight and an all-round good piece of kit. I have also written a full-review at [@]

I purchased the travel system from M&P with a car seat, bassinet and footmuff (oh, and the cup holder). One of the main selling points on the Sola, for me, was the ability to have my baby lay flat (they do like to fall asleep out and about) and the ability to theoretically use it from birth. HOWEVER, I alsopurchased the bassinet, just to be sure, and in fact, I have been using that since birth (my baby is now 6 months). The bassinet has the added advantage of warmth, which the regular seat can't offer. This stroller system is solidly made, and robust and definitely worth the money. I dislike, that every added detail (footmuff, bassinet) costs a bit more than it should...
The downsides to this stroller system, as I've tested it so far, are the relatively rough ride. Yes, it has a suspension, but it's the difference between driving a sports suspension and an old caddilac, for those of you who like driving cars. Essentially, when you have a tender newborn, you're going to feel like it's too rough. Later, when head stability picks up, it becomes less noticeable. Also, the shopping basket underneath is really awkward. It has an odd shape and is way too shallow to accomodate an average trip to the store for diapers (yeah, right, even a small bag of diapers won't fit).
All in all, I would probably purchase the stroller system again, even though every added thing costs so much money.
If M&P made a few more accessories for this travel system it would score even higher for me (a better cupholder,too: the current design totally voids the narrow frame, as it makes the cup jut out an extra 4 inches from the stroller), namely a travel bag for the stroller and a sun shade (NOT umbrella).

I was absolutely in love with the look of this stroller, and it's features. Being able to flip the seat from facing in to out was fabulous, especially for when our daughter was a newborn and needed to see Mommy and Daddy while out. I like that you can use it from newborn to about 3 years old, so it seemed to be a great value in the long run. The floor model at BRU was very smooth and easy to maneuver. However, ours is not. It was okay in the beginning but about a month later one of the front wheels makes a clicking sound while it is being rolled. We cannot figure out why. It only does it on certain surfaces so we think the wheels may be slightly off level somehow. Also, the entire frame creaks and squeaks when in use, sounds like jumping onto an old bed. Drives me nuts! Due to this I am not sure how much longer it will last, since my daughter is only 7 months and not very heavy. I can only imagine the squeaking if carrying a toddler. For [$] I thought I would be getting a quality product. I have seen umbrella strollers that sound better than this. Also it is difficult to adjust the handle, you have to press in a button on each side and somehow push the handle simultaneously (with your third hand, I guess??) so it is a pain. Overall I wish I had saved my money and gotten something else.

I really love this stroller. I wated it ever since I was pregnant. I finally oredered it on line and have had it now for 3 months and its great! I was afraid to buy it due to all the reviews I read but I coudnt help it and did. My baby is so comfy in it and enjoys it. I get compliments all the time on it. It is a bit heavy/bulky when loading in to the car but well worth it andyou get used to it after the first few times. Over all def get this stroller!

I bought this stroller for my 5 month old son and he loves it. I love that the seat can recline all the way back its like a bed on wheels :). I also love how easy it is to put together and very easy to maneuver. Love the design of stroller!

I just bought this stroller for [$] last week. It's on clearence at Babies R Us stores right now because they're discontinuing this green color. I pushed it around the store for a half hour, folded and unfolded it with ease, lifted it up easily, and tried out the recline and reversible seat. It was Awesome!! I'm due with baby #2 soon, and had my eye on this stroller for months. I was torn between the Sola and Uppababy Cruz, but at this price the Sola couldn't be beat. I loved that the seat could recline flat (no legs in the air like the Uppababy). I prefer to change my baby in the stroller rather than on a dirty changing table, so I needed a flat recline. That feature alone beat out the huge basket and canopy of the Uppababy. The Sola's basket is decent, and very accessible from all angles, and the canopy is good (not as huge as Uppababy, but far better then your typical Chicco or Maclaren). I'm so thrilled with my purchase and great deal!!!

After test driving every stroller in our local babies r us, my husband insisted on this stroller saying it was the sturdiest. I loved the looks of it and the baby seemed to like it so ok we got it. I got many compliments on the design the two times i used it, The latch wouldnt stay latched and the stroller was very very hard to close. I thought i just had a defective model so back to the store to exchange i went. I have the exact same problems with the new one except it is worse. It will go back tomorrow and i will get a brand new model. In short if you just want a stoller that is beautiful get this one but if you want one that will latch close and is easy open close keep looking
