Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Convertible Car Seat Review:- User Reviews
The Peg Perego Viaggio convertible car seat is a newcomer in the car seat market place so it doesn’t yet have many reviews.
However, from the few online reviews that are currently posted, the Peg Perego Viaggio convertible car seat has so far received a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars.
Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Convertible Car Seat Review:- Pros
All of the online reviewers so far agree that the Peg Perego Viaggio convertible car seat is a very comfortable seat for their child and it is easy for their child to fall asleep in.
The removable infant insert is also very nice and makes the seat a great fit for babies 5 lbs and up and the fabric on the seat is stylish and easy to clean.
The Peg Perego Viaggio convertible car seat is very simple to install when using the LATCH system and it is a synch to switch the car seat from the rear-facing position to the forward-facing position.
Although this convertible car seat has fantastic side impact protection, the seat’s sides are not raised too high, which makes it is super easy to put your child in and take your child out of this car seat.
Many of the reviewers say they chose the Peg Perego Viaggio convertible car seat due to Peg Perego’s reputation for safety and because of this car seat’s superior side impact protection.
You can even adjust the side impact protection to fit your child and this car seat allows your child to remain rear-facing until 45 lbs and forward-facing until 70 lbs.
Peg Perego Primo Viaggio Convertible Car Seat Review:- Cons
So far the only negative for the Peg Perego Viaggio convertible car seat is the price. This convertible car seat is slightly expensive but when you think about what you get for your money it is not that bad.
This car seat is an infant car seat, a rear-facing car seat, and a forward-facing car seat all in one and it is the only car seat you will ever need for your child thanks to its 70 lb weight limit.
When your child outgrows this car seat you will probably only then only need to purchase a backless, belt-positioning booster car seat.
If you think about the car seat in this way then you can consider the Peg Perego Viaggio convertible car seat a very economical car seat choice.
This car seat is definitely worth a buy!
