This was our second stroller after our Snap and Go. The stroller has a very generous sized seat and shade (especially when child is sitting in the most upright position). The P3 version was a touch too heavy for me. Really the only difference is the front bar/tray on the P3. You CANNOT fit anything but a Peg Perego infant seat into this stroller, so wait until baby can hold up his/her head before trying to use this one full time. The basket is very small, so only take your essentials with you when going out (i.e. diaper changing kit) and carry a small purse or backpack. The stroller is sturdy enough to hang a light bag/purse from one of the handles but that's all I would suggest. Hanging something on one handle makes the opposite wheel lift off the ground.I paid $149 including shipping on Albeebaby.com. Money well spent...baby is very comfortable in it and I love using it!

I bought this stroller on ebay for $125 including shipping. I am still pregnant, so I have no real-world experience with the stroller, but I was pleased with how the stroller looks, the ease of removing the fabric, operating the stroller (folding, raising the seat, etc.). One of the main reasons that I chose this umbrella-style stroller is the fact that I can hang my diaper bag/purse on the handles and the stroller does not tip over without a child being in the seat. May sound dumb, but if my kid gets out unexpectedly, I would hate for the stroller to tip and send the contents of my bag flying.The fabric is very pretty (I bought Mint) and the colors that you see online are very true to real life. The hood seems to be almost large enough...not as big as some, but I think that it is one of the best for this type of stroller.The cup holder is kinda small, but 20 oz bottled drinks and S/M to go cups fit just fine.I am 5'8" and have had no trouble with the handles not being the proper height.One question that I still have is: Will a Graco Snugride snap into the holders meant for a Perego car seat? I have not bought a carseat yet and really would rather buy the Snugride over the Viaggio.

I was considering the Aria OH when I found the Pliko Lite. The Pliko is much wider so a bigger child can fit in it and we can get more use out of it. I also love the Anice color. It can be for a boy or a girl. I really needed a light weight stroller because I have back problems. The best thing of all, I found this stroller on Ebay for $135 including shipping!!! Score one for me and my persistence! Needless to say, my husband was thrilled. The only thing I would change is the cup holder needs to be a bit bigger and it needs a one hand recline. Otherwise I am totally satisfied. It is so easy to maneuver and fold down that my husband can operate everything on it!

I bought this stroller after chunking a silly Graco model that was a piece of junk. I was excited to find this on clearance at my local BRU (open box special) for $150! What a bargain! This has been a wonderful stroller for use since my daughter was about 4 months old.
Pros: It takes up minimal space in the back of my Highlander and is a very manageable weight. I was not looking for a big comfy American stroller - I wanted something sleek, easy to manuver and slim for storage. This is it! My daughter is very comfortable and it is as cute as can be (I have the mint green model). I love the adult cup holder (just don't supersize your drink!) and I LOVE the pocket in the back of the (very large) sunshade. I throw my keys, wallet and sunglasses in there so I don't have to get down into the basket. However, the basket is much easier to get into than you would think. I can easily fit my diaper bag and several shopping bags under there. We've air traveled with this stroller a few times and it is a dream! Folds up quickly and easily at the gate and the porter could easily carry it with the side carry handle.
Cons: I sometimes wish I had a front tray for a drink or for my daughter to eat on now that she is older 13 months. But that would mean a different stroller and I don't think it's worth it! I would love a one hand recline on this stroller and it would be wonderful if it fully reclined and had an even bigger sunshade (I'm getting greedy now - but it would be wonderful to have those features improved even more!). Now that we are thinking about baby #2 it would be great if it had the step bar on the back for the older child but as I add all of these features it adds weight and takes away from the simplicity of this design. I wish that PP made this in a double! I would buy it again tomorrow for full price.

I spent months reading reviews and obsessing about strollers until I came across this on Amazon and fell in love with the look of it. It was a fairly new stroller so it was very hard finding correct info. Amazon incorrectly listed the weight and that it had a universal car seat adaptor (it has been corrected). Also some Amazon reviewers confused it with the P3, causing more confusion about the features. Peg Perego customer service says the stroller is 15.5 lbs. I think it's a bit heavy, but no problem for a suburban mom like me who just lifts it in and out of a trunk, and also think it'd be okay for the airport I didn't want to buy a Peg Perego car seat b/c of the cost and weight of the seat, but forced myself to (on ebay) b/c I liked the stroller so much. Definitely worth it, the seat locks in easily and looks very attractive on the stroller. It's so seamless that everyone thinks that it is part of the stroller. The car seat does weigh a ton, but I always use the stroller with it or my husband will carry the car seat in restaurants or other quick moves to a shopping cart. Also the baby will eventually grow out of the infant seat, so I think it's an okay tradeoff. (The car seat specialist at the hospital said it was one of the better ones, and the sun shade is good.)The fold is great. The stroller is sturdy and the looks match the price. The basket is easier to use than I thought. The meshy bag allows easy access from the side. I do light grocery shopping with it. You can also fold it up with items still in the basket. We just keep the Baby Bjorn in it. I can also fit my diaper bag in it, and it's pretty big.It handles very well over bumpy streets and sidewalks. Initially, I wish it had a window in the back so you could see the baby while pushing like the P3, but the roomy zipper pocket is actually very useful for wallet, keys, cell, and even drinks. Very happy with it, and believe it might be the only stroller we'll need. If you want something more sturdy looking than the Aria, but sleeker than the P3, you'll like the Pliko Lite. Paid $229.
