 Love it!Apr 07, 2009
I'll make this quick...
Love this stroller!
- awesome maneuverability. I can drive it one-handed on uneven NYC sidewalks.
- so many options -- everything is adjustable!
- very roomy -- looks like my little girl will be able to enjoy it for years :-) On the other hand, it is large, so going to small stores is a bit tough...but my baby is only 6 weeks old, so I'm only using it as a bassinet for now. I think it'll be easier once I start using it as a stroller (seated).
- I don't find it heavy at all. The bassinet does have to be taken off to fit in the trunk, but that takes two seconds. Fits in my Acura TL just fine...does take up the trunk, but I can definitely fit groceries, bags, etc, too.
- accessories included: love the rain cover and drink cup (although the drink cup does protrude on the side and often gets hit in door frames, stores, etc.
- elastic basket -- I prefer this to the traditional stroller basket. I think the cords hold everything in place perfectly and I can fit A TON of stuff under the stroller, if necessary.
- color -- seems like everyone in NYC has the Bugaboo in some bland color...my bright green stands out and makes it MUCH easier to spot on the street
- made in Italy..not China...
- price: quite a bit cheaper than the Bugaboo (although I don't get why...)
Very satisfied :-)

Great stroller, but a little too heavyMar 19, 2009
I bought this with Peg Perego 2009 Primo Viaggio Corallo Car Seat. The base frame works beautifully with the car seat. The car seat can be adjusted to sit very high on the frame, so I can easily check on my baby and she can actually see me even when she was a couple weeks old and could not see very far. Now that she is older, she enjoys her view (she loves looking at the colorful vegetables when we are in the grocery store) and I think it helps her to take in more of the world by being able to see things other than people's calves.
The stroller itself is great too. The fabric feels very luxurious and the bassinet is so comfy that my daughter actually prefers it to her sliding bassinet at home. The ride is super smooth even on bumpy sidewalks and dirt roads, thanks to the air filled rear tires, and it is very easy to maneuver around sharp corners. The build is sturdy and feels like it can survive a category 5 hurricane, and the folding mechanism is very smooth - no struggling with stuck or squeaky hinges.
I actually researched into Bugaboo Cameleon before getting this stroller, and I am happy with the choice. This stroller comes with a cup holder, the boot, and car seat adapter, which I would have to purchase separately with Bugaboo. Also, Peg Perego makes its stroller in Italy, not China; I don't usually care much about the place of origin, but after all the headline news about lead paint in toys, this actually became a big plus.
My only complaint about this stroller is its weight. As other reviewers mentioned, this thing is quite heavy (30lb+). I mostly drive or use the subway with handicap access, so this is not a big problem for me, but you can forget about it if you need to take it up the stairs. Everything considered though, if I am going to prop my baby this high up, I would prefer a heavier base frame to make sure that it holds up well and the stroller/car seat will not topple.
I would have given it 4.5 stars if I could because of the heaviness, but all in all, this is such a great stroller, so between 4 and 5 stars, I gave it 5.

Nearly perfect - Fantastic ease of movementFeb 02, 2009
I'll sum it up quickly for parents who have little time:
Pros: Smooth ride, daughter loves sitting high and feeling close to everything
Cons: Heavy, doesn't fit in many cars or trucks with lids, no snack tray, wide
Overall the Skate is fantastic for how it holds my daughter, she's cozy, comfortable and seems very "in the action", in other words she's pushed forward towards the world and can reach out and touch things, dance around in her seat, etc.
The negatives are more annoyances, but don't impact her, so it should fully impact a decision to purchase. It is SO heavy, you really need to remove the seat from the base to load it in/out of a car. And if you have a car, check the dimensions before you purchase, because it barely compresses. I drive a BMW X5 and it takes up the entire trunk! Also, it's quite wide, which makes maneuvering through stores somewhat difficult, especially if the cup holder is attached since it hangs outside the frame - odd design.
The largest negative, and one that does affect my daughter, is that there's no snack tray. I've read that the new model will come with one, but unless they offer it as an accessory for this model, not so good for purchasers.
Overall, it looks great, rides smooth and is certainly the Cadillac of strollers.

 skate byFeb 02, 2009
this stroller is easy to manuever and very pretty. For the money it should have better head adjustment using straps to adjust basket to upright position is ridiculous and customer service is friendy but clueless. Stroller is also too heavy.

Wonderful product,Jan 06, 2009
This product is everything it was advertised to be. Was not shipped when we were expecting it to be but arrived shortly after. My daughter and her husband had no problem putting it together. Baby has already taken a stroll in her new " Ferrari"....
