Mamas&Papas Sola City

DISCONTINUED in 2015
see 1 parent review

The Mamas&Papas Sola City is a stroller of the urban Sola series. The Sola City differs not only in design but also in the seat type. The Sola City has an L-shaped chassis available in black or silver color. The suspension and the rear air-filled tires can handle all kinds of terrain. The bucket-type seat is well padded. However, it doesn’t feature a bumper bar. It is suitable for children from about six months of age. A newborn insert makes the seat suitable even for a smaller baby. You can tilt it to a fully reclined position. You can also adjust the leg rest. When purchasing this stroller, it is necessary to buy a Color Pack consisting of a hood and a seat liner. You can change these in time and thus customize your stroller. Your child’s toys can be hung on the hooks located on the hood. The optional full-featured carrycot or a car seat with adapters can be attached to the chassis as well.

parents say thx^^

Our fifth pushchair, but I like it the most

  • Comfortable
  • The seat unit is a bit on the short side

Our fifth pushchair, but I like it the most. Very comfortable for the parent as well as for the baby. It looks small, but my son has ample room inside.

Your questions about the Mamas&Papas Sola City

1)

Which adapters do I need for the Maxi Cosi car seat to attach to the Sola City please?

Hi, Kelly,

You need exactly THESE ADAPTERS (I found the link on eBay. Or just google "Mamas&Papas Sola City Maxi-Cosi adapters". It only has to be adapters for this particular pushchair, others won't fit.
