Our Stroller Review  

We give this stroller a rating of 4.5 / 5 stars based on our 7 critierias of what makes a great stroller. Read on to see why this stroller will suit your lifestyle and see
what's included.

• Travel Convenience 
• Safety 
• Mobility 
• Durability 
• What parents will love 
• What your baby will love 
• What we don't love so much 

Travel convenience:  Meet Peg Perego's lightest stroller! At 19.25 lbs and one of the lower priced stroller compared to it's siblings (see compare Peg Perego strollers), it's the only 3-wheel style Peg Perego stroller. However the front swivel / lockable wheel is a double wheel for better strength in weight distribution. One of the best travel features of this stroller is it's compact fold (one of the best) and it's ability to stand on it's own to keep it clean and damage free!

Note: This is not a jogging stroller.  See jogging strollers for other options.

Compact folding design stands alone when folded

Safety:  One of our favorite safety feature is the front double wheel, with larger rear wheels it makes sense to have the front smaller wheel to have double the strength to carry on the weight distribution. And of course with a 5-point adjustable harness, your baby will grow up safely in this lightweight stroller. To park this stroller, simply step on the pedal brakes by the rear wheels. Note: Never leave your child unattended in a stroller.

Mobility:  The front swivel wheel is lockable for smooth long walks, and the swivel wheel is great to make quick turns in small places. And with front wheel suspension, long walks are a smooth one going over uneven surfaces.

Durability:  Parents trust Peg Perego for many reasons, one of them is because they are one of the leading brands in baby products and have been recognized for the past 50 years for it's quality. As for usage wise, this stroller has a maximum weight of 30 lbs.

What parents will love:  Parents always love cup holders and large storage basket, but most importantly is the way the stroller moves. We always prefer a 3-wheel style stroller over 4-wheels - especially in smaller spaces that require a lot of turning. It's perfect for families who enjoy the great outdoors and uses the stroller to run errands with their baby. We think the feature parents love the most is this stroller's light weight of only 19.25 lbs and it's compact standing fold. For value wise (compared to other Peg Perego Strollers), it has the most appealing features for the best price.

What your baby will love:  Your baby will love this stroller as it is compatible with a car seat system, so they can enjoy this stroller from an infant upto 30 lbs. And don't forget that your baby will enjoy the benefits of a 3-wheel stroller to accompany you outdoors for nice breezy walks and to run errands with you buying groceries and daily necessities.

What we don't love so much:  For about the same price, you can check out Baby Jogger - City Mini 2008 Lightweight Stroller (not car seat compatible). It is also not a jogging stroller (similar functions) but has a better maximum weight of 50 lbs and weighs only 16.8 lbs compared to 19.25, plus we like the materials of Baby Jogger a bit more. As for another stroller to compare that is also in the same price range with a 40 lb maximum weight, weighing in at 25 lbs and is also a car seat compatible stroller is the Mia Moda Energi Stroller.

But overall, all these strollers deserves a good rating for it's low price and great value.
