Peg Perego Strollers

Beautiful Italian Design with Modern Trends

Peg Perego strollers are known for high quality and fashionable Italian design.

For more than 60 years, Peg Perego has been the essence of classic and modern Italian style when it comes to baby strollers. Each Peg Perego stroller is known for its luxurious and attractive fabrics and color schemes. Unique yet tasteful frame designs are durable, sturdy and safe and the Peg Perego brand has a strong resale value.

It all began in Post WWII Italy when new father Guiseppe Perego built his own baby carriage for his infant son since the ones available for purchase didn't suit him. Perego's design and functionality had an appealing, interesting appearance. When his wife added an array of tasteful fabrics and color schemes, these prams were noticed by mothers in the neighborhood and soon orders were coming in for more and more custom-made carriages.

This is how the Peg Perego line of strollers began and today Perego family still runs the business. They take pride in keeping the entire production process within Italy; a Peg Perego stroller is not made in China. According to their official blog, "...only certain components, such as the wheels, are manufactured in China, but the main stroller component is manufactured in Italy."

Peg Perego models vary in form and function and come in three different categories to suit your family's needs:

Single Standard Peg Perego Strollers
Peg Perego Double and Triple Strollers
Peg Perego Convertible Stroller

Single Standard Peg Perego Strollers

Peg Perego has five full sized models and one new lightweight umbrella model available in a variety of attractive color schemes.

Switch Compact

View/Buy Product

This Peg Perego baby stroller has had some new redesign done for this year and doesn't it look fabulous! The Switch is now a more lightweight stroller with a shorter chassis by two inches for a more compact fold and and it now weighs two pounds less!

Unique defining features making it highly desirable. You can bring your newborn infant home in a Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 car seat and attach this seat to the Switch frame.

Yes, the stroller seat on the Switch is removable, so you will have a full-sized stroller when your baby is ready. And the good news is that the Switch offers a matching car seat so you may have a color-coordinated Peg Perego Travel System.

The Switch lives up to its name in that it switches from infant carrier stroller to toddler stroller with ease. You can also switch the stroller seat around to either face you or face the outside world. Mothers connect with their babies by maintaining the bonding effects of eye contact, giving comfort to your baby and making your heart swell with love.

The Switch shares many of the same convenient amenities as the Pliko P3, such as the telescoping handles, extra large adjustable sun canopy, multi-position reclining seat, large storage basket, and a swing-away child's tray. Another new feature is that you can now fold the Switch Compact with or without the seat attached in either stroller or carriage mode. How much more convenient can you get? However, reviews so far are mixed for the updated model at 3½ stars.

Peg Perego Si

View/Buy Product

Besides looking stunning, the smooth ride and light weight are huge selling points in this Peg Perego stroller. Consumer Reports gives the Si an excellent safety rating and a very good rating for ease of use. So far reviewers are giving it a 4-star rating.

This light weight model folds up compactly, umbrella style, yet it is sturdy enough to accommodate Primo Viaggio infant car seat with the included straps, turning this into a Peg Perego travel system.

The smooth ride is due to an all-wheel suspension system and 12 ball bearings with each of the 6½ inch wheels, ensuring enhanced maneuverability and control.

The Si comes with many of the superb features that owners give high ratings for: the easy fold and stand alone feature, telescoping handles to adjust for different heights, a generous sun canopy with ventilation in the back, fully reclining cushy seat with five-point adjustable safety harness, and a huge storage basket underneath.

Parents also love the way this stroller looks. Peg Perego prides itself on it's style and design and the color schemes are gorgeous. Si owners remark that they're always getting compliments!

Peg Perego Uno

View/Buy Product

Like the Switch, the Peg Perego Uno has a reversible handle and it's important to have face to face contact when your baby is very young. The Uno, however, differs from the Switch in that the seat converts to a stylish looking carriage for those months that baby is so small. Just lift the footrest and attach the leg cover and you have your pram.

If you prefer that your baby ride in an infant car seat, the Uno can accommodate the Primo Viaggio car seat with its retractable car seat anchors, making it a Peg Perego travel system.

When you're both feeling more adventurous, you can easily reverse the handle so baby can explore the world.

This is a fashion-forward Peg Perego stroller - it has gorgeous styling, but maintains high quality standards, as seen by so many 5-star ratings by happy owners.

Features that parents appreciate are the removable snack tray that attaches to the bumper bar, generous sun canopy, height adjustable telescoping handles, large storage basket and "Zero Radius Turning" for superb maneuverability.

Vela Easy Drive

The Vela Easy Drive is for parents on the go. Redesigned from a three wheeler to four wheels, this Peg Perego stroller has got lots of maneuverability.

The Vela weighs just under 16 pounds and quickly folds and unfolds one-handed, and super efficiency is added with the carrying handle. Parents rave about this constantly with high reviews for these features.

You'll get a smooth ride, too. The larger wheels provide better maneuverability and the front wheels have a suspension system as well as a locking option for more stability. Mothers like the super-sized, adjustable, ratcheting sun canopy; position it exactly as you need.

A stable stroller is a necessity when you use it as part of a Peg Perego travel system. The Vela can accommodate the Primo Viaggio car seat and the seat attaches firmly with retractable car seat anchors.

The Vela is a very good looking, lightweight, functional Peg Perego stroller.

Peg Perego Double Stroller and Triple Stroller

For twins, triplets or siblings, you'll have it all together with these four innovative, modern and eyecatching designs.

Peg Perego Aria Twin 60-40

Read Review | View/Buy Product

Peg Perego has come up with an innovative idea: A balanced side-by-side stroller for siblings. Any parent with different aged children can tell you how difficult it can be to push a side-by-side double stroller with two different weights on either side.

The Aria Twin 60-40 solves this by having a side for each child as he or she grows. When the younger sibling is still a baby, use a Primo Viaggio car seat on the 60 side and the older sibling sits in the 40 side. Once the littler one gets bigger, the two switch places and the older sibling sits in the 60 side. What a unique way to solve this problem!

This Peg Perego double stroller has great steering maneuverability and is smooth riding. The individual sun canopies are ratcheted and can come all the way down to the snack trays! The Aria folds and unfolds easily and can stand alone once folded. It's a rather lightweight double stroller weighing in at almost 22 pounds and it can easily fit through most standard doorways.

The Aria Twin 60-40 has earned some very good ratings in Consumer Reports for both maneuverability and safety.

Peg Perego Duette SW Tandem Stroller

Read Review | View/Buy Product

Most tandem strollers are made for siblings, since one seat is often superior to the other, usually the younger one is enclosed in the back seat. Parents of twins must search for a stroller that gives equal benefits to both children and the Peg Perego Duette is one of those few strollers.

The two stroller seats are removable and you can position them in several different ways: both facing forward, both facing Mom, facing each other if the children get along and want to play, or facing opposite directions when they need to be separated. This variety of choices is so helpful!The generous sun canopies on the seats are also removable, adding even more choice.

The Duette accommodates one or two Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 car seats, while many tandem strollers can only take one car seat. This is very important for families with twins. You can remove the stroller seats and place the car seats right onto the chassis until the babies are big enough to be in the stroller seat. Both stroller seats can recline fully as well whereas in other tandem strollers, the front seat usually does not recline much at all.

Lastly, this stroller comes equipped with a steering wheel to make maneuverability extremely easy. For better stability, you can lock the front swivel wheels with a push of a button on the steering wheel.

Unlike most of the other Peg Perego strollers, the downsides of the Peg Perego Duette are numerous, with the heaviness being one. Another is that this stroller cannot be folded down easily and you must own a large SUV for it to fit; the seats must each be detached before you fold down the chassis. Next, it is very difficult to access the storage basket beneath the seats. Lastly, the Duette is expensive and not for families on a budget; the current price is around $770 to $800.

Peg Perego Triplette SW

View/Buy Product

The Peg Perego Triplette is based on the same design as the Duette, using a sturdy chassis and three removable stroller seats you can face in a variety of positions. Each stroller seat is car seat compatible, so moms with triplets can use this stroller for their newborns. Of course many parents who purchase this stroller have twins plus a singleton, and this works well for the Triplette as well.

Like the Duette, the Triplette is equipped with a steering wheel to make steering this monolithic stroller easier. Features also include rear wheel brakes and a combined weight limit of 135 pounds.

This makes the Triplette a huge stroller, and you must have a large vehicle, like a van or large SUV to be able to take it with you. Like the Duette, the stroller seats must be taken out and chassis folded for storage.

Reviews for the Peg Perego Triplette SW have been mixed, averaging a 3-star rating across different retailers online. Owners either love it or hate it. The bad reviews come from parents who have had trouble storing the stroller in their vehicle, both because of its size, weight and the fact that you have to remove each seat and have space in your vehicle for those seats.

One reviewer said his stroller's steering wheel quit working after one year while his wife was out on a walk and friends and neighbors had to help get the children and the stroller back home! Without the steering wheel working properly, this stroller is inoperable, which can be a danger when the entire operation of this stroller depends on this mechanism. Wheels are also a recurring problem for most of the negative reviews; they cannot handle the weight, even when the precious passengers are well under the 130 pound weight limit.

Most of the good reviews for the Triplette are from 2009 and earlier, most from 2008. The few 2010 and later reviews for the Triplette have been, unfortunately, one-star ratings.

Peg Perego Skate System

View/Buy Product

One look at the Peg Perego Skate System and you're struck by the beauty of form and utility of function. This is one of the better convertible strollers which is a type of stroller with a removable, reversing seat, and you can install either a car seat or stylish bassinet on the stroller frame. The Skate is quite sophisticated-looking with its high-performance chassis frame, bassinet and stroller seat that come included with the system. You're going to get lots of attention with the Skate!

The Skate System is loaded with features with parents in mind. First off, it's a two-in-one stroller with a portable bassinet for a newborn infant and then you install the stroller seat when baby's big enough to sit up. Next, you choose if your baby faces you or faces the world as the seat and bassinet can go in either direction.

This Peg Perego stroller has customized everything for your greatest comfort from telescoping handle height and adjusting handle bar for perfect strolling comfort. The seat or bassinet telescopes up and down the chassis in case you need to park your stroller at a restaurant table or any other situations where you need your baby to be level with you while sitting.

A removable storage basket and has netting and bungee cords to hold your larger shopping in place during your outings. I like the huge sun canopy that is very effective at shading your child. Accessories for the Skate include a leg cover boot and rain cover that fits both bassinet and stroller seat.

As attractive as the Skate System is, though, Consumer Reports has given this Peg Perego stroller only average ratings at 58% with maneuverability earning a "good" mark, ease of use gets a "very good" and safety earns a "fair" mark. A similar system to consider is the UPPAbaby Vista.
