Peg Perego Uno Stroller - Mod Verde

I hate this stroller and am getting rid of it. I intially bought it because of the peg perego reputation and it looked good.CONS:Big, bulky, HEAVYHard to open and closeHorrible instructionsToo complicated and time consuiming to change from stroller mode to carriage modeHard to reach basket when car seat is incup holder is a jokeNo hood window so you can't see the childdoesn't go over curbs wellPROS:Good constructionSmooth ride

After researching and trying ALL the strollers in the market (thankfully I didn't have a budget limit) I chose to buy this stroller and I am grateful every day that I did!!It has the following features that make it unique:- The stroller acts like stroller and bassinet.You don't have to carry several pieces to get both like the bugaboos.- It lays totally flat so my baby can sleep comfortably and is able to accommodate herself as she pleases... that doesn't happen with the strollers that have a fixed angled chair that just pivots from sitting to laying...Another great thing of the chair laying flat is that I can change my baby's diaper comfortably almost anywhere and I don't have to place her over dirty diaper changers in restaurants or malls.- Like the bugaboos, it has the great feature of a Reversible handlebar for city (small wheels forward) or rough terrain (big wheels forward) and height adjustment handle-bar.- This stroller has a HUGE basket under the seat so I can put a ton of things underneath. It is also extremely stable so I can hang my purse, shopping bags, coat, diaper bag and beverage from the handle without a problem. A good thing is that I could easily attach accessories from other brands... I call my stroller "my command center" jeje- Is the easiest stroller to fold: push two buttons with your foot and it folds like a breeze. It stays standing when folded, and it is very compact.Not so great things:- This is a full size stroller and it may not fit in small cars, so if space is a concern, this stroller is not for you.- It doesn't come in colorful options like other brands and options are pretty limited: black, red, grey, beige... I was lucky to get a color that I fell in love with: the green bubbles model that is very bright and perfect for Florida but it got discontinued last year.

I LOVE the Peg Perego Uno! I did a lot of research before I chose my stroller--both online via reviews and going to stores to physically try them out. I narrowed it down between this one and the Bugaboo. I chose the Uno one b/c it moved just as well as the Bugaboo but it folded much more easily (it's beyond simple to fold and open). I also loved the cool look and the great green color (the Mod Verde)--have received many compliments as well.The Primo Viaggio carseat snaps in and out in an instant. I am constantly remarking how Peg Perego's good design makes my life much more simple. Grandma also has the Aria as her stroller and the Viaggio fits into that too.I live in NYC so a stroller has to be sturdy to hold up to the "mean" concrete streets -- and the Uno definitely gives a smooth ride. It also works in the 'burbs (spend alot of time out at Grandma & Grandpa's in NJ). It can be a little on the heavy side when you're lifting to put it into the car; however, you know you're not buying a light umbrella stroller when you buy the Uno. It's substantial.Also love the adjustable bar for your wrists (I have RA so that was important to me). The cup holder (more like a water bottle holder) does flip around/come loose from time to time but that's easily remedied. I'm glad it came with it as opposed to many other brands/models where you have to purchase one.Overall, I'm extremely happy with this product and highly recommend it. Just do your homework to make sure it's right for you and your needs. Good luck!

I love this stroller. As Nikki said, it could be a bit heavy BUT, for a convertible stroller, it is light. This stroller will accompany you from the day your baby is born until he/she no longer wishes to sit in a stroller. Opening/closing is a breeze- I did it in under a minute the first time I got it. I assembled it myself, at 8 months pregnant, and it took me no time, very self explanatory- pictures and numbers to refer to. The ride is smooth, the look is great. The only problem I could find with this stroller is that I cannot jog or take it to the beach... oh well! The '08 version has a good size basket that is a bit troublesome to get to when in carriage mode but it is not an issue. Overall I love this stroller. To me it a happy marriage between the practical Pliko and the sassy Bugaboo. One of the best things about this stroller: the baby can look at me or at the rest of the world with just a click.
