Advantages: Good as a travel system Disadvantages: Not great as a pushchair
~*~*~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 money.
~*~*~FEATURES~*~*~
-Suitable from birth to 3 years.
-Floating 5 point harness, allowing the child to move around. This is fine for a toddler, but not so much ...
Advantages: Light weight, compact Disadvantages: didnt like the harness
I am a self confessed pramaholic - but i have to say that this is one of my favourites!!

Mamas and Papas are a well known brand and the aria is a great addition!
When you first get it, it does take a bit of putting together - although this is only putting the wheels on! These can be taken off again if need be by squeezing the underneath of them (I sold one of the 2 that I had and got it back in the original box with the wheels successfully removed!)
I love the fact that you can get a car seat attached to it, making a great lightweight travel system.
The recline ...
Advantages: Easy To Use Website Disadvantages: Faulty Goods, No Back Up, Rude Management
I bought a system and monitor from Aria Technology in November 2003, it was delivered within a week which I was impressed with. The monitor was delivered with a European plug which I gather is quite a standard thing for them from reading other reviews so I had to wait for a new one to be delivered - the system however I had problems with from the beginning, nothing worked as it should and I kept having to reboot it. I rang the helpline numerous times and left a number of messages, none were returned. I sent numerous e.mails - all were ignored, I once got through and my call was left on hold for nineteen minutes then disconnected then when I rang back no one answered at all. In the meantime the system stopped working altogether, it would only boot up to the Bios and there was a password applied which I hadn't been given.
Eventually I ...
