28 of 29 people found the following review helpful.I have 7-yr-old twins and thought my family was complete, so I ditched all my baby stuff. When our surprise baby #3 entered the equation, I had to buy all new stuff and swore I wouldn't make the same baby item mistakes with this baby that I did with the twins...like the infant car seat. After months of research, I ordered a seat through Amazon. When it arrived, I realized that it wouldn't work, so I returned it (thanks, Amazon). The hunt was back on.Finally, I purchased the Peg-Perego Primo Vaggio SIP. Out of the box, I was happy with the design - nice fabric, good handle grip size (some are too fat for girl hands), nice big canopy, and user-friendly buttons/lock releases. Now that the baby is here, I'm even more pleased with the purchase. Unlike other reviewers, I found that my baby is MUCH more comfy in this than in the Graco seats I had with our twins. Her head does not flop around like theirs did, she seems cozy and falls asleep every time we use the seat. I even put her in the seat and bring her into the bathroom so that I can shower.The majority of complaints I saw were about the straps tangling. It is my experience that ALL 3- and 5-point harness straps tangle and are a bit of a pain. In any case, I have had no difficulty with them at all. I'm also shocked to see that folks complain about the size and weight of this seat. Yes, it is bulky to lug around. So are all infant car seats. No infant car seat is really ideal for carrying long distances. That's what snap-n-go strollers are for!In a nutshell: I love this seat and would recommend it.UPDATE: After five months, I still love this car seat and would buy it again. However, I have a few minor complaints that I wish I had known in advance. 1. The canopy ends RIGHT at the handle when it is in the carrying position. That means when I stick it in the crook of my arm, the canopy pops out of it's locked position. That brings me to gripe #2. The canopy only has two positions - open or folded. It will NOT stay half way. Finally, gripe #3. It is very difficult to find a car seat cover (e.g. Bundle Me) to fit around the head rests. I ended up buying four different styles and, naturally, only the most expensive one fit over the side impact wings.
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful.As a 1st time parent I'm naturally very interested in keeping our baby boy safe. So when he decided to come 10 weeks early, I had a lot of items to buy in a hurry! I'm THRILLED with this purchase. I would buy it again. I have, and continue, to recommend it to anyone looking for a carseat. WORTH EVERY PENNY!! Here's why:1. It fit our preemie. He was safe, comfy, and it has grown well wtih him.2. Super easy to install into our car(s), we have a Subaru Forester & Nissan Titan. Also used it in a Rav4 & Chevy Malibu rental cars, it fit both perfectly. I use it behind the passenger seat.3. Color is awesome! We have the green shade and I get TONS of compliments on it. Fabric is good quality and has not had any reactions with his skin, as I've read for some other brands.4. SAFTY!!! When my son was 7 months old, we were rearended at a stop light by a teenager not paying attention. There were 3 adults and my infant in the car. All three adults got mild whiplash - my son was 100% fine!!! THIS CAR SEAT IS AWESOME!!! The paramedics on the scene said this brand is the BEST, he sees it save infants all the time! It's been 3 months and our baby is still OK, no hidden whiplash, etc.5. Easy to remove from the car & connect into our stroller, then put back into the car.So, you can see, it's great. Here are my negatives just cause nothing is perfect.1. It's heavier then some other seats out there, but not the heaviest, and the quality is worth it! So I did't mind.2. The straps twist, making it hard to tighten, but it's been 9 months and that's only now becoming an issue, and he's almost outgrown it.3. It only lasted us 10 months, our lil preemie isn't so lil anymore!
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful.I'm a mom of 3 and haves used Peg seats since 2002. Currently, we have both a Graco Snugride and this Primo Viaggio. The Graco is used with the 2011 Bob jogging stroller car seat adapter as Peg does not work with it in Bob's newly redesigned 2011 strollers. So the Graco is not used in my Lexus RX and it stays with my jogger. If you put these two brands side by side, you can see & feel the difference: Graco is inferior in material & has no side impact protection for child's head. My baby's head rattles around in the Graco so I use A snuzzler insert to brace her head. With the Peg I don't have to do this. The Graco's fabric is a little sweaty with nylon fabric, Peg has a Comfort Dry. What it boils down to is which one will withstand a crash...I'd venture to say Peg is safer. The Graco is so plasticy & light but that is reflected in their price. It's not often I'm lugging baby around without a snap n go type car seat stroller ( I use both a Joovy Caboose & the Baby Trend brand ). The follow up seat we've used after 30lbs is Recaro, another superior brand and they make awesome convertible seats to boosters.Viva Italia!
