Peg Perego - Vivace

Just purchased the vivace and happy with it so far!

also keep in mind they remodeled the vivace in 2025. the price difference youre seeing on Amazon and brick and motar may be the different models as theyre not always clearly labeled. i got the 2025 version and the price on amazon was the same as brick and mortar for the 5 year warranty. the 2025 model only comes in two colors. i learned about it from this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faff8rurt-I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faff8rurt-I)

My husband and I just got the Peg Perego Vivace about a week ago for similar reasons (lightweight but sturdy/well-made; easy to fold/unfold; compact for our small home/cars). We love it. Super easy to use/true one-handed fold; super light; takes up less than 1/6 of the trunk of my Honda Civic. It is completely beautiful (the quality of the chasis and seat feels a lot better than that of strollers we saw at Pottery Barn/Nordstroms - UppaBaby Vista was hard to fold/unfold and just really heavy; I did not love the Nuna frames - the handles felt a little flimsy, but are adjustable unlike the Vivace; I was expecting to buy but was underwhelmed by the Silver Cross strollers we saw). The vivace pushes great on sidewalks & the road and has good suspension; and it works pretty well on grass and packed earth. Not great on gravel. (Would maybe reconsider if you're mainly walking on loose gravel/"off-roading"; but great for city walking - we walked an empty bassinet for a mile or so and didnt want to stop). Handlebars are non-adjustable, but work perfect for my husband and I (5'5 and 5'10). I had a question about the bassinet and customer service was wonderful/knowledgable - but I haven't called with any real product issues/complaints (obviously! I just got it & love it) so can't speak to that. Overall - I love LOVE it for everyday urban use as someone who loves to walk (I walk about 30-45 minutes/day); it is really beyond perfect for what we need. If you are going running with your stroller; or are frequently taking the stroller off paved roads/sidewalks and on gravel, I might opt for something with bigger wheels/front wheels that lock (but that will be less compact/heavier).

We have the peg Perego vivace trio and i love it. We live in an European city, we need something compact, light and robust. Also, we’ve been driving around since the baby was super tiny so we wanted a reclining car seat. There are plenty of YouTube videos comparing brands, figure out what you need and go for it. I second the “measure your door” comment, I bought a second hand cheap stroller for the beach and it doesn’t really fit through the lift doors of the building our beach flat is at, and we’re on the 19th floor…

Vivace is great. I’ve known the people who work at Peg, as well as the owners, for nearly 20 years and they are wonderful people.

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
