Peg Perego - City Loop Frame Only

We had the Nuna mix next for baby 1, got the Austilen entourage for baby 2 but it's bulky & heavy so instead got the Peg Perego City Loop with the combination attachments (two strollers that can connect to a side by side double) it's light weight, folds really well and great for travel and urban life. Wouldn't do well on trails though. 

If you want something just to hop in and out with for errands, get the Peg Perego City Loop. It basically turns your car seat into a Doona and there is a toddler seat available for purchase when it’s time. Very sturdy for a stroller that size. Mine fits between the back of the front seat and the car seat but I’m guessing that varies between cars. I’ve been VERY happy with it! Nuna came out with something similar last week but it’s lik $400 which seems crazy for this. [Peg Perego City Loop](https://amzn.to/487gpLe)

In a similar situation with the 2nd floor! Also first time solo mom! My parking is a little bit of a walk so I needed something easy to get to the house but then lightweight to get up the stairs. Doona was out- the safety ratings scared me but also so heavy. I got the Peg Perego City Loop frame stroller that you can pop the infant seat onto- fits in my back seat between the car seat and the front seat so would be great in an uber. I didn’t do a baseless car seat so I can’t help there but I did look into the Graco gomax which is a similar frame stroller but has a baseless car seat with it!

Also- the peg perego has a separate seat you can buy to turn it into a stroller for a toddler! I believe there’s also a bassinet [Peg Perego City Loop Frame](https://amzn.to/4nkhgOe) [Peg Perego City Loop Toddler Seat](https://amzn.to/3JmqITa)

Bugaboo for full size stroller. Nuna Pipa Air RX for the car seat and add the Peg Perego City Loop to turn it into the same thing as a Doona. City Loop is a frame stroller that you can pop the car seat on and it’s amazing quality! There’s a stroller seat you can buy later so you can use it as a travel/ errand stroller.

Skip the Doona and get the Peg Perego City Loop- I love it!! I’m assuming you already have an infant seat. Your car seat just pops on and it’s exactly like a Doona. I keep mine between the front seat and car seat so it’s easy to grab and go! You can also buy a seat separately later when you have a toddler.[City Loop](https://amzn.to/4byumVB)

Houston here - not walkable in terms of day-to-day activities but I do go on long neighborhood walks so I wanted something able to handle our terrible sidewalks. I got the Bugaboo Fox and then the Peg Perego City Loop to keep in the car for everyday use. The Peg Perego basically turns your carseat into a Doona and then there is a seat you can buy later when you need it!

You need the Peg Perego City Loop- it turns your infant seat into a Doona basically. The toddler seat is sold separately which I appreciate living in a small space so I don’t have to deal with storing it until I need it. The seat will face in both directions which is hard to find with a compact stroller. It’s overhead compatible without the seat but you have to gate check with the seat. Comes with a carry strap. Super solid for a stroller this size. In my car it fits between the car seat and back of the front seat but I’m sure that varies by car. Super easy to take in and out for quick errands. Honestly, it’s been a lifesaver! [Peg Perego City Loop Frame](https://amzn.to/49it5Be)

We’ve finished up with the baby phase for 3 kids .. to answer your specific questions: - travel system vs separate stuff? Travel system. Best middle-of-the-pack is Peg Perego. They hold their value well for resale and used ones are a good purchase. They’re also more compact than the American brands, sturdier than most, and not as pricey as the Euro-look stuff (Uppa, etc.) - not to buy — all the stuff that’s baby-purpose-specific .. baby blenders (use a normal blender), baby bottle warmers (use a pot with water) .. we bought a lot of it, used it a couple of times, and never touched it again in favour of the adult version. Also, muslin blankets, they’re not for our climate. - buy asap — baby Tylenol, reusable syringe, baby Advil, suppository Tylenol, baby thermometer, baby ear camera ($20 on Amazon), Penaten, baby shampoo .. the medical stuff occupies you for the first year as they go through colds and rashes (and more intense things like RSV and HFM) - helpful purchases - baby blankets/quilts appropriate for their size, those zip up baby pouch blanket things, Jolly Jumper, pack and play with an additional foam mattress. - try a few different teething toys once they get bigger .. WubbaNub was the one that stuck with all 3 of ours. People swear by Sophie the Giraffe. Etc.

Are you considering more than one kid? We initially had a hand me down peg perego system that we loved but it got damaged on a flight and we got reimbursed its original price. We chose the cybex over the uppababy as our replacement because both seats can hold up to 50lbs

Seconding that this is the best answer. It really depends on where you live (city vs suburbs). I live in a European capital city with great public transport and terrible driving conditions. We walk a lot everyday, so my expensive Peg Perego travel system has been incredibly useful and is able to stand up to whatever is thrown at it, whether it be hard cobblestones or bumpy countryside. The attachable bassinet was great when my baby was a newborn, and now the stroller is one of his favorite ways to spend a couple hours outside. Plus, we do need to drive sometimes, so the car seat has also been handy. But if I lived in the suburbs, I probably wouldn't have bought quite an expensive travel system, or I may have splurged on the car seat instead.

I had the evenflo travel system and didn’t like it, bought the peg Perego travel system and love it. But baby definitely travelled better in the evenflo and hates the upgrade.

Velika kolesa, stabilnost (gor/dol po pločniku), pralnost, kako hitro se zloži in na kako veliko, če gre v prtljažnik malega avta in kaj vse je zraven (lupinica, košara, športni del, torba,...) Imeli smo PegPerego, super zadovoljni. Imeli smo ga za 2 otroka. Po prvem smo ga dali na sevis v Mengeš da ga pogledajo in pripravijo za drugega.

We also have a Peg Perego and love it. Being manufactured in Europe was a big selling point for me

Peg Perego za price/performance... uporabljen pri prvem otroku, nato na žalost posojen in ne uporabljen pri ta drugem. Sedajšni (no ni več v uporabi) je od Cybex pa je OK in je še vedno normalno uporaben, ampak glede zlaganja in sestavljanja je bil Peg Perego bolj praktičen tudi napram vozičkov ki so jih znanci uporabljali.

Not really. I had a peg perego stroller with my daughter and we rarely used it. My son is a decade younger so I obviously didn’t have that stroller. For him I bought a graco jogging stroller and it’s been amazing. We use it everyday on sand, ice and everything in between. I walk 5-10km a day with it and have nothing but great things to say!
