Nice! Uhm... Well, let's update...
My original review is below. It's been almost ten months since I purchased the Si and I think it deserves an update. While I like this stroller, after ten months I'm not feeling like it's living up to my expectations. The wheels have these little hubcaps on them and three of the four have popped off. Never did find them. The handles don't seem solid anymore. After months...

The perfect travel stroller without losing beloved necessities., January 24, 2010
Everyone has needs that need to be met when choosing a stroller. One's must-have features are not necessarily someone else's. Here are mine and these are the reasons I purchased the Peg Perego Si stroller:
1) Handlebar adjustability. My husband is almost a foot taller than me so this feature is a necessity for either of us to participate in pushing our little one.
2) Lightweight. I must be able to load the folded stroller with one hand into the car trunk.
3) One-hand fold. I need to be able to fold the stroller in 5 seconds or less, with one hand and stand upright (see #4).
4) Must stand when folded. We travel quite a bit with different climates and terrains. In and out of subways and buses, wheeling in and out of airport terminals. For such a price, I shouldn't have to bend to pick up or try to look for a spot to lean the stroller against. We've folded this stroller with snow, rain and mud on the ground and our stroller has remained clean because it remains upright when folded.
5) Carriage space. We usually travel expecting to be out the entire day seeing sites and sounds. This means we need to be prepared for climate changes and food needs. We usually pack layered clothing and a light folding ice chest when out and about. Of course, there's the usual travel maps, travel books, my own jacket and souvenirs purchased throughout the day.
6) Canopy coverage. A good stroller canopy must cover the eyes even when the sun is low on the horizon.
7) Rain cover. Most strollers come with fitted rain covers. If not, there are generic rain covers that can be purchased. Rain cover also acts as a wind shield for those very breezy days.
8) One hand push. Depends on the pusher's habits. I drink coffee when I push the stroller so I sometimes push with one hand. Not a dealbreaker though.
9) Must be able to fold with a stroller blanket attached. A lot of strollers cannot fold with the stroller blanket attached (like say JJ Cole blankets). The nature of the fold requires that nothing is in the seat otherwise, it's too thick for the latching mechanism to lock. I find that installing and uninstalling the blanket every time we use it would be a pain. Most of the people I have spoken with who have blankets with strollers which cannot fold with the blanket end up chucking the blanket. They just end up using a blanket that's not attached to the stroller. Then their child ends up pulling or kicking off the blanket.
10) Reclines to flat or almost flat. I like strollers that fold almost flat because I use it in lieu of a changing room, particularly when there is a line into the changing room. I have found this to be an extremely useful feature.
11) Must not tilt back when stroller has no occupant and there's a heavy diaper bag hanging on the handlebars.
Early this month, at the beginning of Jan. 2010, we went on a trip to DC. It just so happened that the Arctic wind decided to blow over the East Coast with record low temperatures and high winds. Lucky us. While my husband attended conferences, I was left with our son doing day trips to the museums and monuments/memorials. Up and down the elevators, escalators, pushing on icy, snowy sidewalks on 29F degree weather accompanied with high winds. Appropriately dressed, my son sat snugly in his stroller inside a stroller blanket, an ice chest for his milk and snacks tucked neatly underneath and a diaper bag hanging on the back for a full day's worth of supplies. Plus, all the museums we visited had security checks (DC and all) so I had to remove our stuff, run them through the security x-ray, fold the stroller quickly with the blanket, run it through x-ray, unfold and re-load gear and my son on it. PIECE OF CAKE!
This is an excellent travel stroller. Heck, this is an excellent stroller - travel or not. What a great addition to our baby gear. I am extremely happy with this purchase. While this is not our only stroller, this is our de facto travel stroller and will be until our son outgrows it. I am looking forward to taking our son and this stroller to more adventurous trips. Awesome job, Peg Perego. Keep it up!

GREAT LIGHTWEIGHT STROLLER WITH EVERY FEATURE YOU NEED!, July 29, 2009
I just sold my baby jogger city mini to get my new peg si...man an i in love! I've had a bugaboo, quinny, bob, p3, maclaren, and baby jogger city mini (and i currently have the bj city classic double which i ADORE!! best double ever!)....so i know strollers! This one is FAB! Here's what i love and knew i needed in my new stroller:
Easy, STANDING fold
HUGE sunshade
almost full recline (for 2 1/2 month old)
sits straight up for 2 year old
Extendable legrest
pocket on back of hood
adjustable handlebar
window to see baby
SUPER easy to steer/push even one handed
Nice fabric
LIGHTWEIGHT (16 lbs)
Now there are a couple things i'm not in love with. The recline handles are annoying; its just like maclarens which i do not like.
Besides all these great features, this stroller just looks really cool and modern with the one wheel designs- sort of like the bugaboo bee (which i hate by the way- worst stroller ever seriously!) The si rolls very smoothly for not having air tires. It just glides. And i forgot to mention you can hang a big diaper bag on back and it will not tip when the baby gets out of the seat- a mist for me with my toddler getting in and out all the time. This is my second stroller, i keep it in the car. For all day outings with both kiddos we use our baby jogger city classic double which i love too :) Great combo!

Nice! Uhm... Well, let's update..., June 28, 2009
My original review is below. It's been almost ten months since I purchased the Si and I think it deserves an update. While I like this stroller, after ten months I'm not feeling like it's living up to my expectations. The wheels have these little hubcaps on them and three of the four have popped off. Never did find them. The handles don't seem solid anymore. After months of use it just feels... flimsy? This stroller is sure to get me through one child, but it's not nearly as sturdy as my Maclaren was. That Maclaren I could beat the snot out of and it would keep on truckin. The Si has some features that I just love, but now that my lo is older I don't really need that full recline, but I do love that sunshade... I don't know... It was nice in the beginning, but I think that it needs some major modifications. For this price it should be better built.
*******************
My new Si arrived yesterday and we were able to take it out for a good spin today at the Taste of Tacoma. I had a Maclaren Triumph with our youngest and while I really liked it, there were things lacking. So, this time around I wanted something that was not only lightweight, but that had a near full recline.
This stroller is really awesome! I can fold and open it with one hand. I can actually recline it with one hand, you just have to be a little crafty with it. I simply release each side individually and tug it back a bit. Works fine. The stroller accommodates our Graco Safeseat with ease. Even with the carseat attached there is lots of room. Using the carseat attachment you can't use the cup holder so I just put my Gatorade bottles up by the baby's feet where the hood is. Worked well. I pushed this stroller over a gravel walkway and a grassy field with ease. The sunshade is AMAZING! I can completely cover my baby by joining the carseat sunshade with the stroller's shade. I really liked that.
My only complaint about this stroller is the basket. The basket is nice and roomy, but it's super stretchy. When I placed my medium sized diaper bag in there flat on its side the basket was pretty low to the ground. I'm wondering if Peg gets enough complaints about it if they will redesign it?
All around, I absolutely love this stroller so far!

Don't think twice - just get it, March 6, 2010
This review is for the 2010 model. Amazon has the 2009 and 2010 models mixed in the same purchase page. The 2010 is the one with the black bar in front of the seat.
You and your little one will fall in love with this stroller. It is so simplistic, yet it has everything you need. I didn't see one in person before purchasing, just went by reviews and specifications.
PROS:
-You can move it with 1 hand
-Best canopy shade in the market
-Folds down compact
-Large under-basket (note: 2010 model basket does not touch the ground with heavy/uneven objects in it)
-Has key/cell phone/mail/other pouch attached on canopy
-Easy on and off rear break (1 touch locks both wheels)
-Telescoping handles
-Handles have bag hooks!!! I really LOVE this feature!!
-Easy to put on/off baby harness
-Easy to collapse and open up
-Stands up when collapsed, which keeps it from getting dirty
-Front bar is great for kids to hold on to, hang toys, etc. It is also removable if your child doesn't like it
CONS:
-It's a great design and all, but I still think it's overpriced
-Carry handle is cheap and hurts your hand
Overall, this is an awesome stroller. I'm on my 4th and this is it. My daughter loves being in it. It is so easy to maneuver that I can do the crazy stuff she loves (going fast, cutting tight corners, going in circles, etc) and she holds on to the front bar while she laughs and gleefully squeaks. I was using it the other day during a hail storm and the canopy protected my daughter 100%.
Don't hesitate. Get this stroller. You will love it.

si, i like!, April 18, 2009
i just got the pp si! its a pretty good stroller and i'm happy with the features. there are a some things that could be addressed --
when the stroller locks in the collapsed position, the left and right side arms dont lock into place even though there are clamp-like brackets. the material used for the hood window doesn't give you a clear view of your child. it's kind of like looking through a dirty window or screen or something. the locking swivel wheels have to be independently locked (on my uno both wheels locked if you locked just one). you can't fold the stroller with anything in the basket (my uno could fold with an umbrella, water bottle, rain cover and canvas bag, plus a few more items!). but that's the sacrifice for an umbrella fold. the included rain cover fits a little awkwardly and is a little flimsy and it doesn't come with the boot like it does in europe. so i'll keep my old rain over and bundle me and we'll be good to go. the 3 position recline is two handed and the seat drops back to full recline due to the weight of the child, which could be a little scary.
other than those MINOR issues, i'm happy with my si and would recommend it. it's lightweight, easy to maneuver, has 3 position adjustable handles and backrest. the seat sits up high and the basket is unobstructed. it folds easy in two steps and carrying seems like it will be easy and comfortable.
it has only been one day, but i think there is good things in our future. check around for theprice. i got my $249 instead of the $279 some places are selling it for.
enjoy!

Great Stroller - Fixes Maclaren's Shortcomings, June 24, 2009
I am on my 4th child and I have owned many stollers over the years. I was looking for a lightweight umbrella stroller which had a reclining seat and was easy to open and fold and manuever. I also needed seat extensions because my baby is only 8 months old and will still be sleeping frequently in the stroller. I was looking for a large basket and a large canopy to provide shade as well. This turned out to be a tall order, and the only stroller I found it in was the Peg Perego Si. This stroller fixes the design flaws I perceived with the next best, the Maclaren Quest Sport. This stoller stands up after folding which is also a nice feature and it has handles that extend. It has every feature I was looking for. The basket is unbelievably large for an umbrella stroller, and unlike the Maclaren's, you can actually access it. It also has a very large canopy that almost completely shades the child, another thing you never see in an umbrella stroller. Also, the seat is thickly padded with wings on the sides of the child's head. This is not the case with the Maclaren counterpart. For what it is worth, I think this stroller is the best of breed for sure. Peg figured out how to put all the important features into an incredibly compact stroller without compromising anything.

Wish I knew! Wish I could return!, April 8, 2010
I bought a Perego Si Stroller based on some of the rave reviews I had seen and the price. This is my 3rd child and 4th stroller so I had thought it would fit our needs, canopy, reclining features,folding, etc. but I wish I knew more and wish I could return it now! My main beef about the stroller is the basket and the shakiness/wonkiness of the wheels. I never used it with the infant carrier as I had planned to, it was a bit of a hassle and I had another stroller for that job so I can't really complain about it, but not being able to snap it in makes it not very user friendly.
When I try to put anything slightly heavy in the bottom of the stroller it drags the basket down such that I am worried it will drag on the floor. It has ample basket space, just can't use it except for the lightest weight items. We usually need a stroller to carry our "stuff" when we go to Disney, and this stroller will carry the clothes, diapers,, etc but I wouldn't dare put a water bottle, baby food or my purse since I am worried the basket will drag on the ground and be forever ruined. I've never had this problem with any other stroller so I was surprised.
I also have to walk at a very slow speed or else the front wheels shake horribly, makes it uncomfortable for me to push and for the baby to ride. I am not a jogger or talking about speed walking, I am talking about regular walking with my 7 year old to the park. I have to make effort to walk slow enough so it doesn't shake. I get very frustrated by this feature and it makes me want to return it. Even if it were free, I wouldn't want it! I had thought ours was defective, but it seems to be an issue I have now read about so it is an issue with the model.
I do like the canopy and how it folds up. It is much more than an umbrella stroller but I had hoped for something I can really use. I am now stuck trying to figure out what to do with it. I can take it to the local park (if I walk extra slow), but I can't use it at the airport, Disney, etc so it looks like I will be shopping for something else.
I had an Ingelsina Zippy with my daughter and it was awesome, it outshines the Si in everyway, but after 6 years of use and 2 kids it tuckered out and it was pricey. That was why I bought the Si. I will now have to consider the other options.

Fantastic! Meets all my requirements!, December 14, 2009
I love the Si! It is the perfect lightweight stroller and can be used from birth and up. It has a full recline and my baby is extremely comfortable in it. The basket is spacious unlike the Maclarens which have a tiny basket that you cannot reach. It also have a decent sun cover and looks great. I picked this after researching strollers for nearly six months, and I am super happy with it.

Great combo of portability & comfort, September 16, 2009
This is the 3rd stroller I have used with my baby (we have a jogging one at home for trips/parks, a light umbrella Inglesina stoller I keep in my car trunk for quick trips, and this is the one the grandparents have when we visit them in California), and it has the best combination of portability with comfort features.
PROS: Easy fold & open (although takes a little practice if you're used to a classic Maclaren type fold). Strong wheels make for a smooth ride even over semi tough terrain (although not in the woods or hiking, like my jogging stoller can actually do, it did go over park grass and little rocks well and is very smooth on pavement). 5-point restraint keeps the little guy inside (I tried the PegPerego Aria in the store, whose restraint system is scary- it just comes out of the seat! this one does NOT). Stylish. LARGE hood to cover baby from the sun in 3 different positions. Reclines almost flat (or 2 other seat back positions). Big basket underneath (held 3 water bottles, sweaters, diapers, changing pad, toys all at once). Water bottle holder. Stands up on its own when folded! Does NOT fall over when heavy diaper bag was placed on the handles & there was no baby in the stroller. Foot rest goes down for dangling feet, or folds and locks in a flat position for a sleeping baby to rest his feet. One step peddle to lock/unlock both back wheels. Large seat for gorwing toddler. Handles have 3 sizes for different heighted stroller pushers, so nobody kicks the wheels.
CONS: Quite a bit bigger than an umbrella stroller when folded, although still smaller than other strollers- took up a lot more space in my car trunk then the Inglesina, but a lot less than the jogging stroller. Under-seat basket is large, but made of some flexible material, so you can not put heavy stuff underneath or the basket scrapes against the ground :(. Cup holder holds bottled drinks or keys or a small toy, but not coffee cups. You have to use 2 hands to recline the seat (clicking both sides while pushing down the seat back).
Overall this is a great compromise stroller for comfort (both for you and baby) and portability. I highly reccomend anyone thinking of getting a new stroller to take their baby to a big store and trying out as many strollers as possible before making your decision.
Of note, my baby started using this when he was already 11 months old, so I never tried it with a car seat. In retrospect, I would have gotten this one stroller instead of the 2 I use at home, but hind sight is 20/20.
