Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Convertible – Reversible Car Seat – Rear Facing for Children 5 to 45 lbs and Forward Facing for Children 22 to 65 lbs – Made in Italy – Atmosphere (Grey)

Quality Seat
Going on 2 weeks now and we love it! This car seat is not only has lots of safety features, it’s easy to use and clean (we have the color licorice), easy to install and it’s aesthetically pleasing! Our one year old son is rear facing in the back of our double cab Tundra. At 26lbs and 23 in, he’s a little big and we would like for him to rear face as long as possible. This seat has a rear facing weight limit of 45lbs and the headrest has plenty of room to expand for height. He really seems comfortable, it’s easy to get him in and out and he sits high enough to see out the windows. I love that the seat harness doesn’t have to be re-threaded. You simply adjust the headpiece and the harness straps follow suit! I also noticed the straps don’t tangle as easy as his Britax infant seat straps did. It’s a great seat and it’s made in Italy instead of China!

I was a bit worried because the condition was listed as good like new and I didn’t know what to expect
I ordered the peg perego convertable in licorice from Amazon warehouse for almost $100 less than the “new” price of $379. I was a bit worried because the condition was listed as good like new and I didn’t know what to expect. I orderd it with prime on a Friday late afternoon and the order said it would be delivered Tuesday by 8pm. I was a little disappointed that it wouldn’t come on Monday to make the 2 day shipping prime promise, and yes I am taking into account for Sunday, and most things I order on a Friday night are delivered by Monday night but whatever it’s just one extra day I suppose. Anyway the seat came on Tuesday in the afternoon of course during the only 20 minutes I left all morning and went to the store lol. When I got home and saw it I was so excited. On initial examination the box had a tear in the top corner but seemed otherwise fine. I took it inside and opened it up and took out the seat. It was wrapped in a plastic bag and had a kind of zip tie at the top. I pulled the bag off and started a through close examination of the seat. The tags were attached to the seat as if it had never been opened, the instruction manual was there, warranty paperwork was there, everything, all parts and such seemed to be in original factory boxed condition. The seat was clean and smelled brand new like it had never been opened. I started checking the mechanics of it making sure every little thing worked as it should. Yep everything worked. I picked it up and shook it and no rattle of loose screws or broken parts. I took off the padding and made sure all the impact foam was there. Yep all there. Checked the manufacturer date. Yep 2014. So for $280 I got the top of the line fabric and leather licorice version all because the only thing wrong was the box was torn on a corner and the label was a bit rough looking. From what I can tell the seat is brand new never opened or used in anyway and I couldn’t be happier!Now I ordered this seat because#1 peg perego makes THE BEST and SAFEST car seats#2 the small footprint of the base looked as though it would work between the 2 booster seats that need to accompany this one in my back seat for my other two older kids. I drive a 2000 Chevy Impala and it does have a roomy back seat area but any parent of multiple small children will know having 3 seats in the back of your car makes things tight. With this seat my older 2 are still able to buckle their seat belts just fine. This peg perego convertible is so roomy for my littlest man too but the way the base is there is still room for an adult with large hands to buckle the other seats no problem. The seat is simple to install and only took me about a minute literally. I have it rear facing right now but even a forward facing position was simple. I did it both ways just to see. Although the seat is roomy it doesn’t affect the front seats at all while in the rear facing position.Now for comfort in my opinion this has got to be awsone. The seat is super soft and I wish I could sit in it to try out. But alas I can not so I have to go by how my son reacts in it. The first car ride in this seat was to pick up big brother from school. My little guy had been awake for about 15/20 min from an hour nap. Usually this means there’s no way in hell he’s going back to sleep any time soon. I put my son in this seat buckled him in and he looked at it checking it out as I got in and started the car. About 2 blocks into our 8 min drive to the school I look back and my little man is passed out. This never happens unless it’s a trip at nap time. I thought to myself well maybe he was just still tired. I get to the school pick up brother and back into the car we go, and right back to sleep my little man goes. Ok I think he must still be tired. Well after 4 days of having this seat I am amazed at how much my little guy is sleeping in the car. He is that comfortable. He falls asleep all the time in this seat every time we go somewhere. He hasn’t done this since he was an infant. I even took the seat and put it in my living room on the floor to see if he’d sit in it and go to sleep and sure enough he did. If that doesn’t say he loves the seat and it must be comfortable I don’t know what does.All in all I couldn’t be happier with this seat and I am thrilled I got such a great deal on it from Amazon warehouse. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAR SEAT! Oh and on a side note I wish I had gotten this seat when my son was an infant because that infant insert is so thick and cushy I can’t imagine a small baby not being comfortable sitting on it. I also recommend trying to buy this on sale through the Amazon warehouse because, well, who doesn’t want to save money?!
