 you have to know what you wantMar 01, 2010
I knew I WANTED SOMETHING DURABLE AND WITH A GREAT LOOK THAT'S WHY I REALLY LIKE THIS STROLLER. OUR BABY GIRL USED AS A PRAM WHEN SHE WAS AN INFANT (WE HAVE TWO FLOOR HOUSE, AND WE USED FOR LET HER SLEEP WHEN WE WERE DOWNSTEARS)ONCE SHE WAS 5 MONTHS OLD WE SWITCHED AS STROLLER AND SHE LOVE IT! IT'S SO EASY TO MANOUVER ON ANY KIND OF SURFACE, CLOSE AND OPEN EASLY. I DON'T NEED A CART WHEN I GO SHOPPING THE NET UNDER THE STROLLER CAN CARRY A LOTS OF BAGS. GREAT FOR LONG WALK ON ANY WEATHER CONDITION!
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SUPER LIGHT AND SMALL, MAY BE THIS IS NOT THE STROLLER FOR YOU BUT IF YOU WANT A STROLLER CONFORTABLE FOR YOUR CHILD THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!
DON'T FORGET TO BUY THE TRAY!
I LOVE THIS STROLLER!!!Feb 15, 2010
This is a fabulous stroller. I just bought one yesterday somewhere else. It's fabulous! Yes, it's a little bit on the heavy side but no more than any other full sized luxury stroller out there. I've seen complaints that it does not come with a child tray, actually they do make a child tray for this stroller by peg perego. I've always been a fan of Peg perego and with my first child I owned a Venizia and this is by far one of their best strollers! Reversible seat with 6 different recline options if you count the strap on the back. The fact that the seat doubles as a bassinet is so convenient. The fabric is very soft to the touch but durable as expected. The only thing I would change are the rear wheels. They're air filled and I'd prefer foam filled or solid rubber wheels. I have heard the term "Bugaboo killer" and I have to say...Now I know why. This sure beats having two different seats. Over all this is a wonderful stroller and worth every penny!
high quality, great design, best for walks - but heavyDec 22, 2009
Before our baby was born we went to a store and actually tried all kinds of strollers, then decided to get this one with the green bubbles design. Used it almost every day for a walk in the neighborhood to get back into shape. (However, it is not designed for running, I had to switch to a jogging stroller eventually.)
Pros:
* maneuverability - glides like skates, even with one hand, it was the best in comparison to all the other strollers. Air tires, shock absorbers, baby always fell asleep during our walks.
* accessories and adjustability - bells and whistles, see the manufacturer's description, so many... again, it seemed the best available. (Bassinet and chair in one, canopy against sun/wind, boots in the wintertime, different handle bar length for parents, reversible facing seat, easy to fold, etc.) Bassinet was important to me as I did not want my little one sitting in the car seat instead, with a curled back.
* durable, high quality materials (this one is actually made in Italy - hence the price?)
Cons:
* a bit bulky, but fits fine in the back of my wagon (combi), a bit snug in the trunk of a sedan VW. Bulkiness may be a problem in stores, but easy maneuvering makes up for it.
* kind of heavy, too, but not since my arms got a lot stronger from lifting & carrying my kid all the time :) However, if you're going to put it in and take it out of the car on a daily basis... whew, I think you'll be annoyed.
* not cheap
Summary:
I'm glad we had the $$$ from the baby shower to purchase it, we used it enough to make it worthwhile. It will serve our next little one, too. I think it is perfect in a (small) town where you can actually walk downtown safely (like in Europe, doing small grocery shopping often). For the suburbs here, where we go everywhere by car, it becomes a bit cumbersome. I love the look and the comfort it provides.

Great all-around strollerDec 05, 2009
I love this stroller. It is beautiful and functional. Large wheels make it an easy ride even on rough surface and let you control stroller single-handedly even outside (not just inside polished mall floors). It is very easy to fold/unfold and I feel we would not make half the stops/trips if it was harder to take out of the car. I guess one mistake people do - they try to handle it as one whole unit, whereas I take off bassinet and deal with wheels and bassinet separately. This way setup is a breeze. For a change, it is proudly made in non-china (Italy). Very nice (single-handed) reclining, quite generous canopy. Padding is very soft and nice to touch. Cup-holder is nicely designed and holds bottles of various sizes very well. But it does catch on doors and tables in the beginning - one needs to get used to it before you can confidently negotiate crowded cafe's.
We've had it for 8 months and loving it. Plus, it is not another cortina/bugaboo (whichever crowd you hang out with). Stylish and different.

 BulkyOct 12, 2009
It runs smoothly and is very comfortable for baby, but I travel a lot and this is not a stroller you want to take with you when you travel. It's extremely heavy and bulky. Also, I had to contact Peg Perego because it had a problem with the bassinet. I actually think that I got a lemon, because the issue never got resolved. I don't think it's worth what I paid for it.
