We love this stroller/carseat

  • Ease of Use:
Pros:Great looking stroller that works great!
Cons:Must use car seat base
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this travel system to anyone willing to pay a little extra for great design and looks. It is distinctive, well built, and stands out in a crowd.

My wife & I got one of these in red/blue as a gift for our first baby, and it is fantastic. We love the big wheels, smooth ride, sturdy construction of the stroller. The car seat clicks firmly into the stroller, and the fabric matches very nicely.

The stroller folds and opens easily - once you get the hang of it, and the storage area underneath is very big & easy to use - it easily holds our huge diaper bag (from Molehill).

Peg Perego has really thought of everything with this combo - for example, when the car seat is on the stroller, the canopy from the stroller can be used for added sun protection. Simply push it into place, and it overlaps nicely with the canopy on the car seat. When I first discovered this, I just sat back, and said, wow, and even took a photo because the design is just so good.

The only complaint I have is that you must use the car seat base - you cannot simply buckle the car seat into any car. This is a drawback if you travel & rent a car or use taxis. However, Consumer Reports rated car seats that can be used both ways as less safe when used without the base. So even though its a pain to carry the base along on a trip, it makes for a much safer setup.

Also, Peg Perego had a minor recall on the car seat - but it was user-fixable, and ours didn't have the problem.

Lastly, the manufacturer is wonderful about customer service and repairs. When a part broke, they sent us a loaner & will replace the entire unit.
