This car seat keeps your baby safe while traveling in style. Your precious cargo can stay in Peg Peregos Primo Viaggio SIP longer, thanks to the new design which gives baby a few extra pounds and a few extra inches before moving to a toddler car seat.

Peg Perego makes safety a priority with the five-point restraint system and new Side Impact Protection which includes an extra pad for the seat with heavily padded wings to surround and protect babys head.

 Awesome seat...!Jun 06, 2008
This is a great seat. It's stylish but most importantly, it's one of the safest infant's seat there is. It offers the SIP, and the base level indicator which assists with getting a proper installations. Given that 80 something percent of seats are installed wrong, this is a huge bonus for me as a mom...it offers no worries in that arena.
We LOVED this carseat!Aug 21, 2007
Hmm, I am surprised at the low rating this carseat has received. We have never had any problems with it, and my son LOVED it before he got too big for it. I'll add that he didn't get too big for it until he was over 8 months old and 23 lbs. I don't have a small child, and he was comfortable in the infant carrier for a long time. We never had any problems with the canopy, it always seemed to cover him just fine, and after heavy use (two different cars, every day and our son occasionally playing with the seat at home) our seat looks brand spanking new. Nothing has ever broken or rubbed off. Yes, the carseat is heavy, but I honestly don't remember the last time I actually CARRIED it somewhere. The longest I ever carried it was to and from the cart corral at shopping centers, or into the house from our driveway. What carseat isn't heavy? Believe me, since I have a bad back, I tried them all when I was pregnant, and this one was the only one that didn't hurt my back. Granted, I think they could improve it with an ergonomic handle, but that's about it. I truly loved this infant seat. Another poster has said that why bother getting an infant carrier when you'll just upgrade to the convertable seat later, and I will say that keeping your newborn asleep getting in and out of the car is all the reason I'll ever need to have an infant carrier. He was a light sleeper, so taking him in and out of a seat everytime we stopped somewhere would have been brutal on us all. We have the PP Pilko 3 stroller too....they're both fabulous!

 Too heavy, too bulkyMay 28, 2007
I bought this thinking I wanted the best for baby. Aesthetically is a very nice seat, and hey it matches my PP Pliko 3 stroller. And yes, maybe it could potentially be a little safer IF the 0.0002% chance, godforbid, an accident were to happen and the car's side impact airbags didn't do there job (and consequently I drive one of the safest SUVs in the road). However it is so heavy and cumbersome to carry around and my baby screamed every time he went in it. It's supposed to last a bit longer (i.e. a few more pounds and inches) but it actually seemed really squishy to start with, esp with the extra padding. In any case, what does an extra few weeks matter when you've ultimately got to get a new seat once baby is a certain size. Baby's head always fell forward which was very awkward and surely uncomfortable. When visiting a relative we used there Evenflo Discovery which my baby seemed to like just fine. And the straps were very easy to adjust and secure whereas on the Viaggio SIP you always have to loosen and tighten every time you use the seat. Overall I was quite disappointed with this seat and didn't feel it was worth the expense.

 Good product, has drawbacksJul 14, 2006
We bought this to go with the P3 stroller. The seat is rated well and works fine, but if I had my way I would fix a few things. 1) The seat is heavy, add to it an 18 lb baby and you have yourself a backache. 2) the visor stinks.. it barely covers the baby or shades him in anyway so I had to constantly use blankets and other props to keep him shaded. From what I hear other seats have much better ones. 3)Handle. Most seats are like this but it would be so much better if it had that turned handle so you could actually carry it without twisting your arm. 4)It doesnt recline hardly at all in the car so the babys head slumps more than I'd like. It isnt cheap either so, its not worth the price tag. Some of these are minor gripes but the amount of use this thing gets, its worth knowing.
It works fine and it's served us for 6 months, but next time I'll know what to look for and this isn't it. The p3 stroller on the other hand is terrific.

 Serves the purposeMay 23, 2006
I got this as a gift off of my baby registry. Although it is quit heavy to carry, I haven't had any major problems with this seat. I like the look and quality of the product. My son doesn't mind the straps and I hope that as he grows it won't be a problem for him. We are happy about this gift and plan to buy the stroller to match soon.
