Peg Perego Pliko P3 MT - Rubino Umbrella Stroller

Pros: Very compact, both folded and unfolded. Beautiful look. Easy steering and maneuverability. Comfortable and safe.
Cons: PRICE!! Cup Holder. Difficult to open. Difficult to get buckled.

My third child just turned 14 months old and I finally have purchased the stroller that I wish I had bought many, many years ago! I first became aware of Peg Perego stollers while living in Germany. As you can imagine, they were quite common there and ...

Pros: Compact, lightweight, maneuverability
Cons: Gets stuck in snow, not a lot of storage for mom

Wanted something that can be easily transported to the mall, doctors, etc. and this is great. Also, living in the great north Canada, didn't want something that folds flat like the Graco because it would get dirty. Easy to load in and out of our car, ...

Pros: Lightweight and folds up very small. Easy to handle.
Cons: Expensive... but worth it!

I purchased this stroller because of its reputation and style. I am a small girl and was worried about handling a large stroller. This one is no problem! It is lightweight and easy to maneuver. It folds up very small and slender and will fit in any vehicle. The Peg Perego carseat fits right into it without any trouble and the shade covers fit into each other to totally cover whole seat. Definitely worth the money!

Pros: compact fold, nicely padded seat, smooth ride
Cons: smaller basket underneath, no storage areas around handles

The Europeans have the edge on US stroller makers when it comes to foldability. This is the second Peg Pliko I have owned and I this one "drives" better than the first. (My first was about 3 years older) Features I like is the compact size when folded. It will stand on it's own while folded. You can push it on it's wheels while folded or there is a carrying handle on the side. I love the padded wings on the side. Lots of European strollers fold small, but don't have as comfortable a seat. The P3 is nicely padded. A childs head falls to the side when sleeping in a stroller. With this stroller there is a nice padded spot for their head to rest, not a thin layer of fabric covering the metal frame. This model (2006) pushes much easier and smoother than my previous Pliko. It was still in great shape after 3 years, but the smoother push was worth it for me to purchase again.
