Mamas&Papas Sola 2 MTX

DISCONTINUED in 2015
see 4 parent reviews

The Mamas&Papas Sola 2 MTX is a higher, all-terrain version of the Sola 2. The MTX comes with all-terrain rear wheels with air-filled tires. They add an extra suspension for a smoother ride. Despite its wheels, the stroller remains light and easy to maneuver.

You can recline the seat flat, suitable from birth. It features premium fabrics in denim look. The added value of this version is also a hood that you can extend to an extra large size thanks to the huge pop-out sun visor. The optional full-featured carrycot or a car seat with adapters can be attached onto the chassis as well.

The Sola, Zoom, and Urbo series models have the same type of the seat and the same attachment system. You can therefore exchange all the parts, adapters, as well as additional accessories (bumper bars, hoods, textiles).

parents say thx^^

Ideal for the city

4
  • Small, compact yet spacious
  • Beautiful design
  • Striped inner canopy, which the baby likes very much
  • Spacious shopping basket
  • The seat can be put on in both directions
  • Easy to unlatch the carrycot
  • Front wheels have very little suspension

So far I only ride with the carrycot but I am very satisfied. Ideal stroller for the city, easy handling in public transport and shops, fits in my (bigger) car without folding - even with the seat on! Moreover, I like the look very much, even other people on the street praise it. I'm looking forward to the seat unit ;-)

But it's not really suitable for off-road, the wheels are not sprung, I lift the front wheels on big bumps... on the other hand, I ride on cobblestones when putting her to sleep, she falls asleep right away. The great thing is its low weight, I often take the carrycot and the baby home and I don't have to wake the baby up.

  • large and comfortable seat, really well padded
  • sitting upright, not semi-sitting
  • completely flat lying position, which makes it suitable even for a newborn - e.g. in summer you don't even need a bassinet
  • reversible seat
  • not much for real terrain

I had Sola 1, and now I have Sola MTX. I went back to the Sola because of the satisfaction - the convenience, even for a small child, is priceless. The Sola MTX is a bit more cushioned and has rear inflatable wheels, which makes it a bit better than the Sola 1 or Sola 2. It will also go over moderate urban terrain, which brings us to the point where I recommend the Sola to moms in the city and villages where the terrain is not too challenging. For such moms, it's a top choice.

I have nothing to complain about

4
  • very easy to operate - with one hand
  • seat faces both directions
  • large storage basket
  • large canopy
  • ventilation at the end of the canopy
  • super long handle - also for tall people
  • goes into full recline

A great stroller, I have nothing to complain about!

  • Size
  • Easy manipulation
  • Reversible seat
  • Lies flat
  • Smaller front wheels

Absolutely satisfied with this one. Easy to push, lies completely flat, with a parent- and wolrd-facing seat unit.
