4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Car Seat, December 10, 2010

This review is from: Peg-Perego 2011 Primo Viaggio Infant Car Seat, Paloma (Baby Product)

It's fascinating to read how opinions on the Primo Viaggio vary in these reviews. In fact, it took the review about the expletives flying to remind me that the first few times we used it I also felt a lot less positive about the car seat than I do now (9 months worth of frequent use). The way I see it:

* It is fairly heavy, but then that also contributes to it feeling sturdy.
* It fits perfectly in all the cars we have tried it in.
* Our daughter loves it (she is a pleasure to transport in this, whereas the two other seats we have tried she has cried almost constantly)
* I do remember battling with clipping the belt around the back of the seat (when rear facing)... now it seems to just happen automatically and the expletives are a distant memory!
* The build quality is solid. We have not encountered any problems with the clips or anything else.
* The other two seats that we have tried (in rentals) have been uncomfortable and, to me anyway, felt anything but safe and secure. In the one case I actually asked to see the installation instructions because I was convinced the rental agency had it installed wrong ... they did not (all future travel will be made with our Primo Viaggio).

We are happy with the Primo Viaggio and would definitely recommend it. I think the diverse views expressed here show the value in going and trying out as many car seats for yourself as you can before you buy. If you do that this one would certainly be on my "try it" list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this car seat!!!, January 5, 2009

This review is from: Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Infant Car Seat (Baby Product)

My son loves his car seat and so do I. Yes, it is a little bit heavier than the Graco I had with my daughter (now 6) but this seat is so much safer. My son does not have any trouble sitting in the seat, is not uncomfortable in it, and if the seat is installed properly there should not be a problem with tipping forward. It is easy to get in and out of the car and on and off the base. We have a base in each car and that makes everything easier. I also have the Aria stroller (both in the green bubbles) and I get tons of compliments. It can be tricky getting the car seat to click on the stroller but we're getting used to it. The "horse blinders" do not bother my son who is now 3 months old and I can see how they would keep his head safer in an accident. I am glad the seat goes up to 30 pounds as it should last us the year. I was nervous getting the car seat after reading all of the negative reviews on here but I have been very happy with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars We love this seat!, June 2, 2009

By

This review is from: Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Infant Car Seat (Baby Product)

We bought this seat for our first child in 2008 because of the side-impact protection. The seat is great! It is sturdy, easy to install in the car, easy to put on and remove from the base and I am confident my son is safe in it. We have had no problems with it.

There are a few cons, though:
1) It is really, really heavy. We stopped taking it out of the car regularly last month because it is so heavy with the baby in it. Even with a 6lb newborn I found the seat heavy for me to carry when the baby was in it and I jostled it a lot heaving it to and from the car.

2) If you have the Peg stroller, it takes a bit to get used to clicking it properly onto the stroller.
Unlike an earlier reviewer, we have not had any problems with it falling off the stroller. However, we always give it a tug after hearing the "click" to make sure it is properly attached as it is possible to only attach one "latch" to the stroller and not have the other hooked which makes listening for the "click" as proof it is properly attached deceptive.

3) It seems to be uncomfortable for wider babies. My son is 6 months old and only 17 1/2 lbs but he is wide. He loved this seat when he was younger, but the sides seem to be getting tight on him now and he fusses when we put him in it. We are already searching for a convertible seat that might be more comfortable for him. I don't know if I can blame the seat for this, though. I think we would have this same problem with any other infant seat.

4) The seat is hot. It wasn't a problem during the winter months, but now that summer is here my son is sweaty every time I take him out of the seat. The seat needs some kind of ventilation.

We did not experience any problems with the seat cutting our son's legs, however, we received the replacement piece about a week after our baby was born.
