The Mamas & Papas Sola 2 Package is a stylish, fun and versatile package offers exceptional value for money, it includes a Sola 2 Pushchair, Carrycot and Maxi Cosi Cabriofix Car Seat.
Mamas & Papas will also price match - see details here
It seems like a one off price match - as now a number of us have tried and they won't budge - so best to stick with PramWorld and buy the adaptors off ebay.

Choices galore - very confused between this, the chicco urban and the quinny buzz extra- any recommendations ?

Its very hard but you need to go for whats best for you. 3rd child for me and about the 20th pushchair. we went for the armadillo flip on the fact it folds very small in seconds, has a proper footrest for an older child plus loads of room. you need to try them all on your lifestyle rather than what you like the look of. This is a great price for what you get. Heat added

We got a buzz extra - it came with a MaxiCosi Pearl as part of the deal. We already had a MC Cabriofix so we ended up buying two second hand Easybase 2's (off Gumtree for around £20-25 each) as these accommodate the Pearl and the Cabriofix. They aren't isofix but that doesn't matter in the slightest to us - we're a two car family and only one car has Isofix. We have a base in each car. Once they are fitted securely they are going nowehere!!! They are an absolute doddle to use and make things massively easier. The Buzz extra is a very sturdy buggy. What we ended up doing is this: Because I walk my dogs on a pretty mucky trail, the Buzz was getting a bit dirty, so we ended up buying a second hand unit for £30 for frame and pramseat and raincover etc - it cleaned up really well with soap and water and we use that for our mucky trail walks or going to parks etc and keep the other relatively pristine one for town/shops/visits.
Works really well for us.
I fully expect to be able to flog the easybase 2's for what we paid for them once they're not needed and, as it happens, we've not even opened the Pearl yet after seven months so that would probably be sold on as a new seat together with the EB2.
Hope this helps - I've been very impressed with the sturdiness of the Buzz. It has suffered one puncture but that was easily enough fixed plus I bought a couple of spare inner tubes for about a fiver off eBay.

It's an absolute mine field. Cost up your options, for full functionality you need the base / Isofix unit but for the car seat supplied you can get them on eBay fairly cheap.
As its a mamas and papas you can go into store and try it out too!

I have this combination and it's fab! No need for the carrycot but this is a bargain.

Love this pram. I got mine from Winstanley's about 18mts ago. (got mine a bit cheaper - but had to get carrycot separately. A carrycot is lovely - but only really use it if you are doing lots of walking - ie school runs - tend to use car seat when out and about....and on that... the isofix base is worth getting - so quick and easy - especially if you have other children to get in and out of car!)
Had silver cross 3d and icandy apple/pear
before - and this is my fave. it manoeuvres really easily.

I have this pram, I used it a lot, as in good 2+ miles a day, every day, the wheel fell off back and mechanism to lock it into place broke after 2 months, mamas & papas fixed it, it did exactly same thing a few weeks later, and so they fixed it again, M&P were good and fixed without many questions, but the quality of this pram I suspect isn't the premium RRP they advertise, and at the price above it is priced correctly at best.
And I bought from M&P directly, with hindsight of the repairs was probably a good thing.
I will not vote.

Just been to Mamas and Papas and they wouldn't price match, apparently the car seat is different from the one in their pack and they were also reluctant before they because the retailer isn't in their approved list.
Might be lucky at a different store but didn't work for us.

Thanks for the reply. I need it for the daily school runs as well as the occasional shopping trip or a day out. Don't intend to have more kids after the one that's due in March first week, so would be my last travel system for newborn - 3 year age kids I'd say.
