Peg Perego - Z4 Full-Feature Reversible Stroller

I spent a while researching strollers, wanted a Bumbleride Indie but bought a Bugaboo Bee and a used Peg Perego Ypsi/Agio Z4, I used the Bee until he was like a year and then switched to the Ypsi. I thought the Bee was pretty good but the Ypsis super smooth and handles really nice. Also easier to fold and unfold. The Bees smaller size was great for shopping though.  Up until he was like a year ago probably used the stroller like four times a week, now it depends wether the place I'm shopping has a cart to toss him in or not. 

I thought I was hardcore with my three strollers 😂 I have a Bugaboo Bee 6, a Peg Perego Ypsi Agio Z4, and a cheap three wheel Walmart one for taking him in the field (we walk the dogs on 100 acres). I got the Peg Perego used and the Bee on sale. The Peg Perego is my fave tho, so easy to fold and pushes very nicely. I love pushing that thing around the mall. 

I bought my expensive stroller used ahaha. $500 was more than enough for me. It's a Peg Perego Ypsi (Agio Z4). 

We really liked this stroller too! Our one concern is the fold seems tricky—did you get used to it? What do you think? I really liked the slim frame and the easy push it offered….

Peg perego Z4 used if you're looking for a solid built everyday stroller. It's on the heavier side for getting in and out of the car and wouldn't be ideal for jogging but it's incredibly sturdy through 2 kids. Also has attachments to make it into a double.

We got the peg Perego agio with a 5 year warranty...really easy to assemble and great reviews. Also got the peg Perego car seat. It was reliable, affordable and great reviews. And it's about 20 ish pounds folded so i can handle it well, if your able to get to their pickering warehouse you get it at 20% off too!

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

First, I decided to go straight to convertible car seat. I never liked the idea of carrying baby in the bucket seat. My stroller is the peg perego agio z4. Same quality as UB and several advantages, fewer lbs, smaller footprint, smaller fold, and as a double both seats max at 50 lbs. I wanted a sleep safe bassinet so we could walk and shop w baby as long as possible. In the winter it was easy to keep him warm too. Also the bassinet was so useful around the house to put baby down in any room safely. Other key points, telescoping handles are always better. And if you get a single/travel stroller it should have a lay flat seat. Not only is it better for newborns and sleeping babies in general, but it makes on the go diaper changes SO much easier.

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.

Joolz Aer all the way! I have that and the Peg Perego Agio Z4 which we had hoped to use as a double stroller, until baby 2 took 4 years to arrive. Both of the strollers are great, but if I had to choose only one I'd choose the Joolz every day of the week. Great little stroller, easy fold, so compact, so easy to toss into the trunk, I can even carry it and my kid at the same time if necessary for whatever reason. We bought it when we took an international trip so we could put it in the overhead, but it's the stroller we grab most at home these days too. Perfect for city life. Only caveat is that we didn't use the Joolz during the newborn phase. Up until about 6 months, we'd use the Peg Perego with the carseat and parent-facing options.

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

The peg Perego (ypsi or z4) in my experience is the lightest single to double option but it’s nowhere near as light as a true travel stroller. No issues gate checking it though, and it’s much lighter than vista or cybex ones. it is pricey so definitely get a protective bag. The bassinet on it is super nice and safe for overnight sleep. Depending how old your older one is, you may be able to add a rider board to your current stroller instead which would be lighter.

The bugaboo dragonfly with the Nuna car seat sounds perfect for you! We have the peg perego z4 which we really like too it’s less bulky than a lot of the popular strollers but may still be a little bigger than what you are looking for.

Nuna pipa rx for car seat (it seemed to be the best combination of safe but not super heavy). and agio z4 stroller (it’s similar to uppa baby but lighter and has better configuration options and made in Italy). The wheels are big enough to handle most terrain pretty well and you can get off road wheels to swap out too (we never did this just would baby wear if we really went rogue haha) The stroller extends quite a bit but you can also get extra handlebar extenders for really tall people. There’s a converter that allows the car seat to work with the stroller but mainly used the bassinet since it’s safer for long walks. The peg Perego car seat is really safe and would work without a converter but seemed really heavy. The peg Perego YPSI stroller is the same with different finishes but a bit cheaper and easier to find on sale. My second choice would be the bugaboo fox (or maybe now the kangaroo) but it didn’t seem to fold as nicely for the car.

Some options that may work based on what you like - Peg Perego makes a stroller similar to the vista but it’s lighter and folds more compact. We have the Z4 which is about the price as the vista but the YPSI is the same structure (just different fabrics) and cheaper. We tested this and the vista and liked this one a lot better. You can get adapters for various car seats and the bassinet is really nice. - joie is a sister company to Nuna and is really good quality for the price, they have a few similar in size to the triv but I think the Kava is most similar. The joie car seats are compatible and good quality. I think there are adapters where you can use UB bassinet with it. Or the ginger has a built in bassinet. - a lot of people really like the mockingbird stroller which is set up similar to the vista and much cheaper and works with various car seats. - with the popularity of the vista, you can likely find that and the bassinet secondhand (get car seat new) - you don’t have to get the uppababy car seat (their car seats actually aren’t that great) you can get a cheaper car seat like a Chicco with adapters - check discount sites like rebel stork and goodbuy gear you often can get a good discount on a new but open box model
