I have the carpet and front extention and would not be without either haven't got the canopy so can't comment on it.
The carpet really makes a huge difference to the warmth and feels snug and will be a wise investment as your baby grows and starts to move about on their own.
Go for it you will not be disapointed.

We use picnick plankets in our Monty6 and that seems to do us fine. They do offer a little more comfort in addition to the groundsheet. Earlier this year we bought the universal side canopy rather than the front canopy as it offered more side cover. We were quite surprised how big it is and it is certainly large enough for three of us to sit under at night. We also keep all our cooking gear under the canopy rather than cooking inside the tent. While in Cornwall we also sited our day tent next to the canopy so we could walk from Monty6 to the day tent under cover if it rained.

I think alot of people that have the canopy end up wanting the front extension - seems a natural progression
If I had the choice I would got for the extension as it offers side shelter too
As an owner of the extension I would say that too lol

We have the carpet and the canopy and would not be without either. We went the day tent route after seeing the front extension and glad we did. The front extension will be part of the range for 2008 so if you want one should be no problem in obtaining one. But for 2008 there is also a new side extension available that will fit the montana, hugs the side of the tent with no gaps and looks great.

We are just back from a quite windy weekend and the first time out in our new Monty. We have the carpet and the canopy, didn't use the canopy due to the wind but the carpet was great!
Not only did he help to keep the sig down in large gusts of wind it made it feel so much warmer, would def recommend getting it.
I have just brought mine home and ran the hoover over it, mind we do have quite a large living room to lie it out in!

I have the carpet for my Pescara 8 (same as the Nebraska XL) and my Minnesota 4, and wouldn't be without them. Definately worth buying.
I just gotta teach my dogs to wipe their feet before going in the tent now though.

We love our carpet. Quiet, warm, not slippery, protects our SIG from hot/sharp/dog/kid hazards. I still put an extra picnic rug at the door for dirty feet, but as previously stated, it does brush/wipe clean fairly easily, not sure if you could actually 'wash' it though...?
