Any thoughts on the m&p sola?

Really like the look of this pram but not seen any reviews.

I have one and absolutely love it. So simple to use, great size seat, light to push, decent shopping basket and handles most terrain easily even though it's not air tyres.

Not the smallest out there but a great option for a reasonable price. If you have any more specific questions feel free to throw them at me!

I need to go and have a look really but could you tell me is the carrycot bigger than an icandy one? My sister had the cherry and I thought that carrycot was too small.

Didn't have the carry cot I'm afraid because DD was too old when I got it but a friend borrowed it for her newborn when she was buggy less for a week and just used it with a sheepskin in and said her baby was plenty flat enough and very cosy.

I wanted the Cherry, but after seeing it and then seeing the sola in the same shop I much preferred the sola.
Think sola carrycot is bigger from memory, i can remember it looking very comfy.

I have it ready and waiting for my new baby - can't comment on how it is to use yet but it looks fab and and very stylish :)

I've got one, it's good, but think about how much you will actually use the carrycot. If baby is due in winter I'd get one, but otherwise don't bother.
DD had it as her bed initially (it can be used as a full-time sleeping place) and we did take her out in it a good few times when she was v tiny, but she's only 3 months and is already too big to sleep in it, and she's little (about 10lb 8oz)!
The seat itself goes flat and with the nest bit off the footmuff (£58! total ripoff but you need it really) it's pretty cosy for a newborn.

hi, I've a sola (DD is 7 weeks) and I am finding it really good. I have not bothered with the carry cot, I got a sheepskin liner and just used the pram flat. this seems to work well, but if it had been winter I think I would have got the carry cot. The only downside is I find it a bit difficult to get in/out of boot of car, but then I don't have anything to compare it to so this may be normal. I find it easy to manoeuvre and put up/down, the basket is a good size - thou I've also got some of those hooks that go on the handle. The only other negative is the raincover takes up a lot of space in the basket, which is annoying as I would not want to risk going out without it.

Hi, I am also very interested in the Sola. I have had such fun researching all of the options pout there and keep coming back to this one for various reasons.

My concern is that I have a really small boot, a Ford KA. All I need to know before I make a final decision is if this will fit into this boot. I have emailed M & P and waiting back to hear from them. There isn?t a store locally to us so I?m struggling to find the time to get there and try it out. Does anyone have a Ford KA? If so which ones did you find fit into this boot?

Hi, I don't have a Ford KA but do know that the wheels remove really easily on the Sola, if that helps...
