Mamas and Papas Aria

I bought this as part of the travel system on offer at argos at the time for £99.99 which included group 0 car seat (which fits onto the pushchair) pushchair, footmuff, changing bag and raincover. The car seat is great, can't fault it but the pushchair isn't so good... Mine came in two toned mint aqua and grey which was perfect, not overstated like some. I found the pushchair quite difficult to collapse which is embarrassing when you are in the middle of a car park full of people although it does say its easy to collapse so thought it was me until other members of my family tried and you need to be a contortionist to do it. The raincover provided fits with the car ...  Read the complete review

~*~*~INTRODUCTION~*~*~ My husband and I had been married a month when we found out I was expecting. We were over the moon but realised it didn't really give us chance to save. We decided early that we would opt for a travel system as it would save buying a car seat and a pram. We looked around Mothercare and Babies'r'us at all the different options, the prices still seemed quite high so we looked at the old faithful, the Argos catalogue. We saw the Mamas and Papas Aria, it came as a pushchair on its own for £99.99, or along with the Primo Viaggio and Mamas and Papas accessories for £129.99. We decided to go for it as a package, again saving ...  Read the complete review

I bought the Aria for my son when he was about 4 months old because I wanted something lightweight that would be easy for shopping around town. To begin with I was pleased with it as it did tick the lightweight box especially compared to the heavy travel system I was used to. I took it into town and I found it quite difficult to steer around the shops as it is almost like the wheels have got a mind of their own! I personally could not steer it one handed as I would end up crashing it, which is very embarrassing!! The shopping basket underneath is a good size and is very easy to get to; it has served me well on my many ...  Read the complete review

Forget it - what a nightmare of a pushchair! The wheels are so small that it's incredibly hard to push and they seem to have a mind of their own. RESULT - serious wrist and arm ache AND you you have to lift it up every little rise. You can forget going for a walk along a country track in the woods or around a carboot sale in a field. The wheels get stuck in every little dip. I was walking along the high street in Chertsey and there are narrow rain gutters across the pavement. The front wheels got caught in one of the gutters and the momentum made the whole puschair tip up. I nearly fell over the whole puschair and my son would have been catapulted out had he ...  Read the complete review

I have the Mamas and Papas Aria pushchair in blue. I bought it seccond hand but it retails in shops at £99-120. A nice sized little buggy with comfortable seat and thick 5 point harness. Also have the matching cosy toes and changing bag although im not sure if these come standard or extras. There is a play tray that clips on the front it is easy to remove and there is also a cup holder on it. The handle is comfortable although not adjustable. Nice fabric and looks good. It has a hood but I think this part is useless as it is not big enough so does not offer any shade or protection at all in any position. Seat reclines to flat position - adjusted by ...  Read the complete review
