The more I ruminate on it the more I want the Urbo. I love the on-off of the seat so much...
However the Sola has even nicer colors, similar features and seat, and is $100 less. I don't like the looks of the frame as much but I think I need to try it; the fold is only a little tiny bit larger looking, as the frame is ”curvy”, not ”straight...” Hmmm.
Like I said, need to try it, I already know a store that has that one but it was up on a shelf and I didn't get it down when I glanced at strollers when I went to play Foonf there.

I love the sola, I think it's beautiful. My BRU carries them, and of course I played with it. I did notice the seat is small, my 3 yo didn't fit under the canopy, and for a $400 stroller it felt kind of cheap (maybe because the entire thing seems to be made of plastic ?)
But the seat switched very easily, and looks comfy
Even though it's sold at BRU, I haven't seen any in the wild (people around here are cheap,lol)

It looks like the canopy, basket, wheels (not sure if that will influence push) and fabrics are where the $100 difference comes in... The Urbo did not feel cheaply constructed at all. Very solid. Hmmm.
I think even Maggie would have just made the canopy until 3.5 or so on the Urbo too, so if that turns out top be shorter that's a lock for the Urbo. (TBH, I think it is anyway, but the pretty patterns and the price difference make me think I need to make SURE I like the Urbo better or I'll regret it.)

The styling of the sola is similar the urbo, but slightly smaller and less high end all around. If I was in your shoes I'd check out the Sola, help you confirm that you like the urbo better, then you won't buy the Urbo and regret not checking out the Sola.

That's exactly what I'm thinking! Thanks for confirming it's smaller.
I've also heard less than stellar reviews re: the Sola. Some I've read said it seems cheaply made & the wheels squeak. If I were choosing between the two, I'd go with the Urbo.

I want an Urbo. My Mylo is so classy and the fabrics are top notch. It made me want an Urbo too. But I don't need one. Not that it's stopped me before, but I need to get the other strollers out of the house as TechnoBaby's room is only used as storage for for sale baby gear! Lucky we co-sleep. :ROTFLMAO:
I'd get an Urbo for my mom but the wheels aren't big enough for the varied terrain she'll use it on.

There's a Mylo on Craigslist but the fold isn't as nice for what I'm wanting it for and tbh,, I just can't get over how the wheels look like a rolling desk chair to me. :duck:

I thought you were looking for something small? The Mylo isn't small or light. And although it has great suspension, the wheels are just foam so not very AT.
The fold is wickedly easy though. Not saying it suits you though as it's a big stroller, just saying it's one of the easiest folding strollers I have had. I pop the seat off first, then you can rotate one of 2 handles, doesn't matter which and it's folded. You can also do so with the seat on, I just got in he habit of popping it off first.
As for style, I think you and I would have different style opinions about many things. It's other aspects of our personalities that have us get along so well!
Right, small is what it doesn't suit. I actually like other aspects of the way it looks, just not the wheels.

Hmm. Haven't liked other BOBs I've tried and don't love the looks of the wheels but I'll try it if I happen to be in a store that carries it.

Looks like a beefed up bjcm but I waaaant it

It's apparently a 4 wheeled B-Agile. I don'tlike the B-Agile, so not going out of my way to try it!
I'll have to look... Do they have the carrycot in COLORS??? Because that's going to be my biggest expense, if I have to import a carrycot from Australia. LOL.

that's about $493 US (so you're getting the carry cot free). I wonder if they will ship free to the US?
Well craaaaap. Now I have a dilemma. Because, you see, they do have colors. They don't have the color I like best, but they have the lime green and the turquoise. But, I wanted the purple. BUT, if I go with the turquoise, even with getting it shipped from Canada (or to a friend who can ship it from the US...) it would save me about $400 over buying the stroller here and shipping a carrycot from Australia. That's a lot. I don't know what to do!

Where are you doing your conversions? US/Canada dollars are about on par. In fact, it's actually about US$588. Or sorry, were you using a different price on the stroller from elsewhere?
I'm addition, there will be GST/PST or HST on top of that depending on who it gets shipped to. From 5% to 15%.
And BRU Canada doesn't ship to the USA.
