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.

-Floating 5 point harness, allowing the child to move around. This is fine for a toddler, but not so much ...
Advantages: Glorious recorded sound, a fine group of soloists Disadvantages: Some fans may not like Sutherland in this music
This version of Verdi's Requiem sounds absolutely terrific. The chorus has lots of presence -so important in the famous Dies Irae and the soloists are miked beautifully. The 'Hostias' and 'Ingemisco' are some of the finest recordings of Luciano Pavarotti available. Arguably he had more character by the time of his later recording from the late 80s with Riccardo Muti but he is caught here at his finest vocally with the hushed ingemisco amongst the best of that much recorded aria. Joan Sutherland's performance has been criticised quite a lot by critics that think she should not have recorded Verdi roles (similar complaints surround her Traviatas, her Leonora in Il Trovatore and her Elvira in Ernani). I really like her in this music. She is certainly preferable in my opiion to Schwarzkopf (Giulini/EMI and De Sabata (Naxos)) or Nelli ...
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!!
It is lightweight and folds so compactly! It is great for small boots of public trasport.
The shopping basket is HUGE! You can get loads in!
The seat itself is nice and spacious and most importantly comfortable!
The accessories that you can get are also great!
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 ...
