Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP

Date Published: 2/14/07

Although the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP is Italian-made, it is a favorite brand among discerning American parents. This is a rear-facing car seat for infants up to 22 pounds or 30 inches.

A juvenile products manufacturer known for its stylish appeal and attention to safety details, Peg Perego currently offers only one infant car seat in the United States market: the Primo Viaggio SIP (the SIP stands for Side Impact Protection). This car seat has a five-point harness with one-hand harness adjustment and an energy-absorbing foam core.

The Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP also features an innovative side impact protection system. This side impact protection system has three positions and is adjustable with one hand. The simultaneous headrest and safety belt adjustment provides side impact protection should an impact occur.

The Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP comes with a car seat base. This base is one of the most advanced we've encountered. It has a wedge-style adjustment where the entire bottom portion of the base adjusts to level the angle of the seat. This construction is preferred over the arm-style adjustment because it is more stable. Unlike other bases, the Peg Perego Primmo Viaggio SIP base has a carrying handle. This unit also can be installed in a vehicle without the base, using the vehicle's safety belts only.

The Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP is covered in a comfortable, breathable microfiber. It has a carrying handle that can be adjusted to one of several positions. Plus, this infant car seat can be combined with nearly any Peg Perego stroller to create a travel system. The fabric canopy provides generous coverage, and completes the stylish package that is the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP.


Pros: Innovative side impact protection system, EPS foam core
Cons: Pricey



Warranty
1 year, limited
