| dolpal's Full Review: Peg Perego Venezia Single SA - Black Sable Standar... |
When my son was 3 months old I went on the BIG search for the perfect stroller. I did research on every product bulletin board that I could find and finally decided that I wanted the Peg Perego Venezia. I have a Peg Perego high chair that I love so I thought it would be a quality product. It's fairly lightweight, easy to fold and is a carriage/stroller so that you can reverse the handle, allowing the baby to face you. These were all features that I was looking for in a stroller. I ordered it online for what I thought was a great deal for $260. The baby store near me sells them for $325!
When I received the stroller I really liked it, the material is great and I loved all the features it had. The first chance that I really had to use it was last week when we spent a few days at Disneyland. I have never been more disappointed in a purchase. I felt as though I was driving a suzuki samarai (aren't these the ones that rolled over if someone blew on it?). The handle is totally insecure, wiggles back and forth. Depending on which way you have the handle, the back wheels need to be locked into place. The lock on the wheels kept popping off turning it into an all wheel drive stroller and the thing would start rolling sideways. It was very hard to control. The smallest bump would completely stop the front wheels, making the back wheels lift up! This was very dangerous especially for a small child. Turning corners was almost impossible, I had to use my whole body to turn the darned thing.
There are a few features that I was really happy with~ The canopy folds down completely over the baby, protecting them from the weather, the foot rest folds up for small babies to rest their feet and the basket is bigger than most Peg Perego's I've seen.
I would definitely not recommend this stroller. I'll be doing everything that I can to return this stroller or maybe put it in my next garage sale........
