 You don't always get what you pay for! | |
| We received this car seat/carrier, Venezia stroller, and two bases for the seat/carrier, one for each car - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as gifts for our baby. My husband and I research everything and then research some more. The Primo Viaggio had great ratings from Consumer Reports and other rating companies, and the carrier was rated extremely safe. We figured this car seat was top of the line and we would have a "top of the line" experience with it. We should have listened to what was said in the reviews on AMAZON by other parents. I do not agree that the harness is a pain to useas stated in other reviews, I tuck the straps out of the way by wedging the chest harness pieces between the seat and hood. The hood ... NEVER stays all the way up properly, it slides down and gives no shade or cover to the baby. I do agree with the "baby sweats" alot statement. Our son is almost always sweated getting out of the seat. A definite concern in colder weather. Sometimes when I get the seat near him he will start to cry. Travelling anywhere is a chore. I usually wait till he is well fed and ready to nap before going anywhere since he seems so unhappy in the car when awake. If he does go to sleep he is usually out for a while. We are very interested to see if car rides get more pleasant while he is awake in the Britax infant to toddler convertible car seat we are ordering. I am not opposed to trying this seat with our next child, because it is constructed well and is durable, but I am hesitant due to how my 4 month old has reacted. Make sure to try every seat/carrier available to you out there, and buy what works for you. If you get this carrier make sure to save the receipt. As stated before the seat is SAFE, but if you have bad travel time, you might want to get another brand. | |
 well worth your money... | |
| after reviewing current reviews on this car seat, i'd like to also include...why buy a graco ? they continue to have recalls...rated the best, but the best for your money. granted my daughter used hers for only 4 months...i still feel it was well worth our $200.00..We are from hawaii and i think it's much warmer that Florida and I have no complaint on it being to warm for your infant...For those parents who want the safest ... buy this, if you're just getting a car seat because it's the law...then... | |
| Let me clear some things up | |
| I have written a previous review for this car seat but in reading recent reviews, it seems that many people are still giving false info on this seat. The Primo Viaggio is not the safest infant car seat on the market! I can honestly say that I am not sure why so many people make this claim but rest assured that while it is safe (coming in at #2) it is not the safest. If you want the safest infant seat you have to go with a graco snugride. Many people also complain that this is the heaviest seat on the market and it is not even close to the heaviest. It actually weighs only 9 lbs without the base. The lightest seat right now is 7lbs and the heaviest is 13lbs so Peg Perego is actually doing quite well in keeping the seat at a decient weight. I was until last month a department manager at a Babies R Us store but just left to take a different job. I know my stuff when it comes to car seats and strollers and I promise that this info is correct. If anyone has any questions about this seat or any other, you can e-mail me at SaisaJo@yahoo.com Otherwise, I have written an old review for this car seat under the name LJ and by clicking on my name under that review, several other reviews will pop up. Good Luck and congratulations! |
