Product Description

It's so much more convenient to have a car seat base in your second car, too. The LATCH base will fit all 2001 through 2003 model Primo Viaggio Car Seats from Peg Perego. LATCH stands for Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children. The LATCH System greatly simplifies child safety seat installation and helps protect children by keeping seats more secure in vehicles.

(I haven't used this product yet, so rating it would be premature; because Amazon's system requires a star-ratings in their reviews, and because the questions about "educational value" and "fun" of this "toy" don't apply to a car-seat base, I chose a 3-star rating across the board.)

Peg Perego customer service was very helpful in solving a seat-base issue while saving me money.

I wanted to know if I could buy a new LATCH-compatible Primo Viaggio base for my 2001 model Primo Viaggio infant seat (that originally came w/ a seat belt only base, non-LATCH). Peg Perego confirmed that the new LATCH bases are backwards compatible with my 2001 infant seat.

So I have the LATCH-base system and seat I want for the additional cost of only the base. I'm very happy.

The base is easy to install, light weight and fits great in our VW with a smaller back seat (and without cramping us in the front). The person who complained about the ball rolling around probably doesn't have the base installed correctly. The ball is to insure that the base is installed level and properly. Ours never rolls around. We'd purchase again in a second.

We purchased the Primo Viaggio car seat for our first daughter and loved it. The fact that the carrier pops in and out allows you to remove your baby from the car while they are still sleeping, which is helpful! However, this is not an inexpensive car seat. So, when we became pregnant with our second child and realized we would need an infant seat in two cars, we were hesitant to purchase another of these for the second vehicle. We were delighted to find out we could buy the base separately, and just snap the infant carrier into whichever car we would be using that day! Highly recommended, and rated as one of the safest (and easest to fasten) car seats by Consumer Reports.
