How can the unique characteristics of a car seat be objectively assessed? To choose your child’s car seat you often rely on the opinions and experiences of the people you know or on reviews you find online. There are, however, organizations that can help you make this delicate decision. Their accurate assessment tests, which include crash tests, stress car seats in various ways until a final decision is reached, which comes as real consumer advice.

The most important among these impartial bodies is the ICRT (International Consumer Report & Testing), which combines 37 organizations in 33 countries worldwide.  Among them, the ADAC (German automobile club), TCS (Swiss Touring Club) and ÖAMTC (the Austrian equivalent) every year select a group of car seats that they test. The results are then published by the main consumer associations (e.g. Stitungwarentest in Germany, Altroconsumo in Italy, Que Choisir in France, Which? in the UK).

Primo Viaggio i-Size is the best car seat in its category

According to the ADAC 2019 tests, the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio i-Size (Base included), is the best car seat in its category, i.e. from birth to 18 months. Our Primo Viaggio i-Size car seat scored excellent results in the 2019 tests carried out by Stiftung Warentest, ADAC, ÖAMTC and TCS.

How testing assigns the final grade

Tests are carried out according to 4 categories: Safety, Handling, Ergonomics and Pollutants. The 5 assessment grades are:

• Excellent (0,5 - 1,5)
• Highly recommended (1,6 - 2,5)
• Recommended (2,6 - 3,5)
• Recommended with reserve (3,6 - 4,5)
• Not recommended (4,6 - 5,5)

Quality standards are very high; the final grade is the average of the results in the 4 categories, considering that the Safety category has the greatest influence on the result.

ADAC assigns Highly Recommended to Primo Viaggio i-Size

The Primo Viaggio i-Size (Base included) car seat was assigned an overall grade of ‘1.6’, the best in the 0-18 month category, so its overall ranking, according to ADAC 2019, is ‘highly recommended’. Here are the details of each of the assessed criteria:

• Safety: VERY GOOD (1.4)
• Handling: GOOD (1.8)
• Ergonomics: GOOD (1.9)
• Pollutants: GOOD (2.2)

What you need to know about Primo Viaggio i-Size

With Viaggio FF105, it is the winning combination

And after Primo Viaggio i-Size, which car seat should you choose? You already have the i-Size base and you can use it with the Viaggio FF105 car seat, which complies with the new ECE R 129 i-Size standard, from 71 to 105 cm - up to 20 Kg (from 1 to 4 years approximately).

Viaggio FF105 obtained good results in ADAC’s 2019 tests, with a final score of 2 (’Highly recommended’). What does Viaggio FF105 have to offer? Here are its main features:

Give up your favourite bag? Never! And yet... there comes a time when you have to leave your travelling companion in your wardrobe and try out a new kind of bag. It happens when you become a mum and, suddenly, in addition to your keys, mobile phone, books and lipstick, you also have to carry nappies, a bottle of baby milk and spare socks.

The “baby” bag that will become your inseparable companion

Your collection of special bags has one that will become your favourite when your are a mum - a baby changing bag, a true survival kit. More than “your” bag, “his” (or “her”) bag will become your inseparable companion every time you go out. What is the best way of organising it? Here are our tips to be ready for all (or nearly all) events.

The list of what you may need

Essentials:

• Nappies
• Spare dummy with case
• A complete change of clothes (body, socks, dress/suit)

Optionals (which can be very useful):

Stroller travel bag? There’s more to it

When you go out with your baby, you may be on your own or with your partner, but never without your changing bag! Where can you find a large, comfortable bag that meets all your needs? You can find it in all Peg Perego modular systems, with a handy changing mat you can lay down anywhere. This ensures hygienic conditions even in the trickiest situations (public buildings, a bench in a park, a lawn, etc.).

Your motto must be “hygienic and practical”. Do not forget that your changing bag will contain food, toys, dummies and baby bottles, as well as - yes - some dirty clothes or dirty nappies (when there is nowhere to dispose of them).

Remember to disinfect the mat and replace any items you have used.

One bag for you and your child

Essential - this does not mean you have to give up on something attractive. Peg Perego changing bags are made of resistant fabrics with trendy, fashionable colours that match the strollers and the modular systems. We made them bearing in mind the wishes of many mums - large but not cumbersome, with pockets to efficiently arrange and organise everything you need.  Elegant, glamorous, urban… You can choose the “look” of the collection you prefer - the one most suited to your style. Here are the latest collections:

The Breeze collection - a breath of fresh air

Here is Breeze, the collection with soft fabrics in fashionable colours. We designed it to have a ‘sporty glam’ technical cover, which is sporty yet elegant, with a soft effect - dedicated to those of you who like to be always on the move.

Its special characteristic is the Thermore® cover. Your child will be kept warm by the two foot muffs (for bassinet and stroller) with temperature-regulating padding.

A comfortable foot muff, even when not strictly necessary

Convenient in the autumn and in the winter

Don't like staying indoors, not even on very cold days? Use the two foot muffs, for bassinets and strollers, with highly breathable temperature-regulating padding, to protect your baby in a warm but not excessively hot embrace, even when on holiday in the mountains.

Useful in the spring

For longer springtime strolls, the zippable foot muff with windbreaker flap will protect your baby from the wind and sudden changes in temperature!

Handy in the summer

In the summer, you can store the foot muff compactly in the handy case provided. In this way, it does not take up room, and is always at hand as soon as the temperature drops, such as on a cool summer evening.

Glam bassinet that is also special!

The bassinet’s foot muff with Thermore® temperature-regulating padding has a windbreaker flap and a convenient zip for opening and closing. This allows you to uncover your little one when you go in and out of shops or heated settings, so that he or she does not sweat.

The Panorama Hood, with integrated handle bar in eco leather for easier transport, has a ventilation window and UPF 50+ protection against sun rays.
The All Seasons system controls air circulation in the bassinet, so it ensures protection during the winter and fresh ventilation in the summer.

The Comfort System allows you to adjust the back rest and the leg rest at the same time from the outside, so your baby does not slip down and is always in the best position.

The bassinet with EPS padding (for protection against collisions) is suitable for cars from birth (Group 0 - 0 to 10 kg), using the car kit (sold separately).

As your child grows, the modular system transforms into a stroller.

Have you seen the large, wide hood with sun visor? The hood is made with UPF 50+ (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) fabric to guarantee full protection against sun rays when your little one is lying down and napping.

The stroller of the modular system has its dedicated foot muff with Thermore® temperature-regulating padding.

The reversible seat has the Comfort Recline that allows you to adjust the back rest and the leg rest. The back rest tilts back to over 150° and the hood adjusts with it, so your baby can nap comfortably and safely.

Whether in heels or sneakers, you'll always look good with your Breeze

There are no Isofix bandaids, but…

“It’s a bandaid, for athletes, colourful or patterned”. This is one of the answers you might get if you ask someone what Isofix is. In actual fact it is relevant, in a way, because ‘Fix’ suggests something that fixes, that attaches. And this is precisely what Isofix technology does, fix the car seat to the vehicle body. It’s not “an industrial glue”, another opinion you might come across, but you do have a guarantee that once the car seat has been put in place, it becomes one with the car and remains in a safe, stable position even in curves or when driving on a rough road.

It’s a car seat base! And that’s not all

“Isofix is the name of the approved car seat base, the most modern kind”. It’s true, car seat bases were the first to introduce this safe technology. Our Viaggio Isofix System is composed of: Isofix Base 0+ 1 K, the Primo Viaggio SL car seat and the Viaggio1 Duo-Fix K car seat.

All latest generation car seats feature Isofix attachments capable of fixing them to special rings under the rear seats of vehicles registered since 2005.

The stability of Isofix bases can be further increased using a third anchorage point (a Top Tether belt or a supporting foot, called Support leg). Isofix is the name of the anchorage system, not a car seat technology.

It’s better for the health than many medicines

There are pills, bracelets and even chewing gum to prevent car sickness, but Isofix is not one of these; it’s not a medication. And yet some people think the name sounds like a medicine. But no pill can keep your child as safe in the car as this anchorage system.

It’s not just a matter of modern technology; there are other essential features:

1. It reduces the risks involved in incorrect installation of the car seat, an error that can frequently be committed with non-Isofix car seats.
2. It provides a very solid permanent connection between the car seat and the car body.
3. Test results leave no doubt: Isofix car seats are much safer.

It’s a ‘safety certificate’

Isofix is not “a company quality certificate”. Known as LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) in the United States and UAS (Universal Anchorage System) or Canfix in Canada, it is an international standard that has nothing to do with product quality and everything to do with safety. Many new parents have no idea what it’s all about and don’t fully understand the importance of having not only an Isofix car seat, but a vehicle set up for this anchorage system.

There are still a lot of old cars around and if you have a child in a car seat, it’s important to consider your child’s safety when you choose your car.

Attractive on the outside and technological inside: discover all its hidden qualities

A bassinet for newborns must be as welcoming and comfortable as the arms of mum or dad, in addition to being very protective, just like our elegant Navetta Elite bassinet, approved for use in cars.

At a first glance, the Elite Bassinet is striking for its design and elegance, with fashionable inserts and haute couture finishes. The handle is exclusive as well - built-in and in eco leather, patented by Peg Perego, it offers the ideal grip for manual carrying, and the advantage of lowering and raising the hood with just one hand.

There is a lot more to discover inside the bassinet. Here are all its hidden qualities.

Comfort System: what if you lift the backrest? Your child does not slide downwards 

Babies  do not just sleep in bassinets. When they are awake, they enjoy their time, exchanging loving glances with their mums. This means you need to modify the horizontal position (for sleeping) by lifting the backrest,  without causing your little one to slide downwards.

The COMFORT SYSTEM of Elite Bassinet allows you to adjust the position of the backrest and the leg rest at the same time. In this way your little one will always be in the best position. You can do it by simply rotating the knob on the front. Raise and lower - as easy as that!

All Seasons System: not afraid of changing seasons

And what when it is very hot, or very cold? The Navetta Elite bassinet has the All Seasons system that controls air circulation in the bassinet, so it ensures thermal protection inside during the winter and fresh ventilation in the summer.

This means you have everything to ensure sweet dreams in every situation, not least because the bassinet can be used as a rocking cradle, thanks to its extractable feet, or as a cot with the Bassinet Stand accessory. 

It is also a bassinet approved for use in cars

The Navetta Elite bassinet is approved for use in cars (group 0, from birth to 10 kg). It must be used with the attaching Kit Auto car kit (sold separately), and guarantees the highest safety in the case of front and side collisions, with protections for all the sensitive parts of the body.

All Side Impact Protection: super safety

Navetta Elite is made of polypropylene, a rigid, shock-proof material that is also hygienic because it does not absorb humidity. The EPS lining provides ideal thermal and acoustic insulation, which really makes your baby very comfortable inside the bassinet.

The 5 features of the Navetta Elite bassinet that really make the difference:

1. Simultaneous adjustment: using the specific knob, you can adjust the backrest and the leg rest at the same time, preventing your baby from sliding down into an uncomfortable position.
2. All seasons system: it allows you to adjust the internal air circulation from under the base, so no condensation forms. It fears neither heat nor cold - in the summer, for a fresh, ventilated environment, move the four small levers outwards to open the vent-holes. In the winter, to limit incoming air, move the levers inwards.
3. All side Impact protection: high protection against side collisions.
4. At home it becomes a cot to sleep in: the special shape of the base allows you to rock the baby as if in a cradle. Do you need stability while the baby sleeps? By pulling out two extractable feet under the base, the bassinet can no longer be rocked. You can also attach it to the Bassinet Stand (sold separately). 
   
5. It is a bassinet approved for use in cars and protects babies in the most sensitive areas. The Kit Auto car kit is sold separately.
6. And what about going for a walk? Just click it on! Navetta Elite is equipped with G-Matic, the automatic attachment system to fasten products onto the Peg Perego chassis.

The Navetta Elite bassinet is an example of that quintessentially Italian style that all admire and none can imitate. There is the beauty of design, the value of relating, of affectionately embracing a child and caring for his or her needs. Lastly, there is the ability to make every moment special through simple, unique, attractive and functional products.

#ItalyaTasteForLife

Because driving in winter is a whole new ball game

As the weather changes and becomes colder, you should be aware that some of your car features - and even your driving style - should change. First of all, visibility is reduced. Mornings and evenings are darker, and in bad weather (rain, snow, fog, frost) driving safely can be more complicated. These are also times with higher traffic; times when you need to get behind the wheel to take your children to and from school, the nursery or their grandparents', not to mention getting to and from work.

Therefore, the first thing to do is drive more cautiously and reduce your average speed, with or without children on board. Next, you should use winter tyres, that is, tyres with a tread pattern suitable for wet or frozen roads. Alternatively, it is worth having snow chains on board. Your trusted mechanic will be able to suggest other frost protection measures, such as adding anti-freeze. In the boot, always keep some special accessories handy, such as a windscreen de-icer, gloves and boots.

How to travel with small children when it's cold outside

Ok, so you have read the previous section, and you now meet the basic conditions of safety for driving in winter. But what about the kids? While driving carefully and having the car properly equipped clearly increases their safety, there are a number of other issues that relate to them more closely. Before going out into the cold, you will dress your children up nice and warm. You have the lot: the winter clothes, the snowsuits, the gloves and woollen hats... After you've dressed them up to look like the Michelin man, it is time to place them on the car seat and buckle up. And of course, using the car seat has become a habit of yours, as well as a legal obligation...right?!?

Fastening the harness straps may not be as easy as you think. Or rather, you mightn't have too much trouble doing them up, but your child might not actually be buckled up safely. This is because puffy jackets can affect the safety of car seats, even going so far as making them dangerous. You'll have no trouble finding online videos of crash tests revealing the negative effect of winter jackets in the event of collision: they tend to make the child slip, and sometimes be thrown off the seat notwithstanding the buckled straps.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIduv5liC_w

Source: The Car Seat Lady

Therefore, check there is no slack in the harness straps or, better still, do not place your child in the car seat wearing a puffy jacket. Cover him up some other way, say with a Car seat cover or a warm blanket, or turn up the heat in the car. The same goes for adults: do not drive with excessively bulky jackets, as you run the very same danger.

Another thing to remember, although not so important from a safety perspective, is that your child might feel uncomfortable or unwell if excessively covered up.

Travelling by car with children: the winter survival kit

Here is a list of accessories that will help you protect your child from the cold, in and out of the car, without sacrificing on comfort:

• If you are still unsure how best to take your baby on his first drive, in addition to the Primo Viaggio SL or Primo Viaggio i-Size car seat, you may want to think of using the brand new and elegant Navetta Elite and Navetta XL,  both approved for use in the car (only with the car kit, sold separately).

• Choose wellbeing and hygiene on the go with the Clima Cover Car Seat in Tencel, a soft, natural, heat-regulating fibre that maintains the ideal temperature for your baby, adjusting the humidity level in all seasons.

• When it rains, no need to worry... you can make your Primo Viaggio SL or Primo Viaggio i-Size car seat waterproof with the special Peg Perego Rain Cover. It fastens with ease and, when the sun reappears, you can fold it up and store in compactly in the bag provided.

• Long trips? What you need are practical accessories to increase your child's comfort. It can be very helpful to use the Cup Holder Car Seat: just hook it to the compatible Peg Perego car seats and use it to hold a drink, a baby bottle or a bottle of water. To pack away the car seat, you can use the handy Car Seat Travel Bag.

With this short guide, you are sure to find the right accessory or product for you. If instead you still need to get everything and baby is fast on its way, then you could consider a modular system that includes both the bassinet and the car seat, the two most essential tools you will need in those early days to travel by car with you brand new baby.

Travelling means experiencing the pleasure of looking forward to a new experience, whether it’s watching a film at the cinema, going on a voyage or an important change in life like bringing a new baby home from the hospital.

And travelling is the enjoyment of returning home with plenty of new experiences to talk about, aware that no words can fully express what you have experienced.

We’ve always loved travelling.

Travel is what first took you to see what was outside the door of your home when you were a child, and then to see what’s outside the window of your car; as a teenager, it took you to discover distant lands and find your own place in the world; and now, as a parent, it allows you to take your own children along the same path, protecting and guiding them.

You know it’s not easy to travel with children. Going places with young children forces you to address a number of practical and organisational difficulties. It can become a true psychological barrier that you need to go beyond if you are to enjoy all the experiences of life.

To explore the world with your children in perfect serenity, you need the right equipment: safe, practical, comfortable solutions. Peg Perego has been with you ever since you were small and wanted to spend as much time as possible playing. And we continue our experience together with a complete line of travel systems designed to guarantee safety and comfort.

Good reasons: 9 new generation car seats.

Ready to travel with you as an indispensable aid to your trip! Here they are:

Car seats for all ages and categories, from birth to the age of twelve.

The first nest for baby to travel in:

• Navetta XL and Navetta Elite: supplied with a Car Kit with three point belts with shoulder pads (sold separately).

The first true car seat, facing the opposite direction to the direction of travel:

• Primo Viaggio SL: safe connection with a Belted Base and an Isofix Base 0+ 1 K (both sold separately).

Facing the road, now that the child is big enough to look out the window:

• Viaggio 0+1 Switchable: held in place with safety belts in either the direction of travel or the opposite direction.
• Viaggio1 Duo-Fix K: can be held in place with the safety belt or with the Isofix Base 0+ 1 K (sold separately).
• Viaggio1 Duo-Fix K TT: with built-in Isofix attachments and a Top Tether anchorage belt.

Long-lasting multi-group seats:

• Viaggio 1⋅2⋅3 Via: dual certification for use from one to twelve years, with built-in Isofix connectors and a Top Tether anchorage belt.
• Viaggio 2-3 Flex: maximum stability with a built-in Surefix base, it can be folded up and carried away like a suitcase.
• Viaggio 2-3 Surefix: two anchorage methods, with belts and with Surefix hooks.
• Viaggio 2-3 Shuttle: two anchorage methods, with belts and with Isofix hooks.

Thus equipped, you can travel safely with your children as a responsible parent and driver, not just a passenger.

#MoreThanAJourney, #ViaggiareèPegPerego,  because we’ve always loved travelling with children!

For your child, this is the first important right of passage. Abandoning his first car seat (car seat group 0-1), means leaving behind a protective cocoon, and not just metaphorically speaking. So far, the infant car seat had enveloped your baby in an embrace... The very best thing in his first few months. From now on, there’s no looking back... quite literally: the car seat, mounted in the direction of travel, will finally allow him to see the world as you do. Well, almost!

When to change car seat

The right time to change car seat is when your little one reaches 9kg in weight, which could happen before he reaches his first birthday. Not sure how much your child weighs? It happens! Well then, look out for an even more eloquent signal: can you fasten his harness straps? They have probably become too short. Best not to wait till you get to this point. Get yourselves a car seat in the next group well in advance (Group 0+: until 10 Kg; Group 1: 9-18 Kg; Group 2: 15-25 Kg: Group 3: 22-36 Kg). It's a question of your child's safety and comfort. However, don't rush to get rid of his first car seat: if the size of the baby, mainly his height, allows it, you can go on using it for a bit longer.

What car seat to buy

If your car is fitted with Isofix attachments, you really should choose a car seat that connects to these fasteners, which are the best safety device currently available on the market. As regards the model, you should be looking for a product in Group 1 (9-18 Kg).

Have you ever thought of a multi-group seat? In addition to the intermediate group-based solutions that need to be changed as your child grows (aged 0-1, 1-4, 2-3, etc.), you can now choose a new definitive solution: a child seat in Group 1-2-3. You can start using this particular car seat when your child is under one year of age, provided he weighs over 9 kg, and you'll never have to change it again. Like a loyal friend, he'll remain at your side for years.

Viaggio 1•2•3 Via is unique: that's why you'll never want to change it!

For all those moms and dads who don't want to keep changing car seats every two or three years, the solution is the brand new Peg Perego Viaggio 1•2•3 Via. With its double type approval (group 1 universal and group 2-3 semi universal), it meets the needs of everyone in the family: mom, dad, the grandparents... and even the children themselves! On the one hand, you grown ups can rest assured that you have adopted maximum safety in the car for your children (the All Side Impact Protection system protects all sensitive points of the body); on the other, your children will be able to travel on a more comfortable and flexible seat that will accompany them as they grow.

You'll soon fall in love with this car seat:

• Even beginners will be able to install it with ease thanks to the handy colour coding: all you have to do is 'click' the car seat's fasteners onto your vehicle's Isofix attachments.
• Your child's safety is also guaranteed by the Top Tether, an additional anchorage point that secures the child seat using the relevant belt.
• The seat is reinforced with steel tubes, while the headrest and side wings also protect taller children.
• Unexpected release is avoided by the Blind Lock coupling system, which prevents another passenger, such as a brother or sister, from inadvertently unfastening the seat from its tethers.
• The car seat can easily be moved from car to car, and looks attractive on the rear seat of the vehicle thanks to its modernly elegant design.
• If you are a bit of an extrovert, you can choose from a range of colourful versions, and lovers of fine details will appreciate its refined finish.

Viaggio 1•2•3 Via grows with your child

"My child must be comfortable and safe!" This is the most common concern among mothers. No worries, because Viaggio 1•2•3 Via has all it takes to meet your needs. It protects all the sensitive areas of your baby's little body with the 4D Total Adjust system. Moreover, the wraparound headrest adjusts in 6 different positions relative to the backrest, and the width varies by up to 6 cm thanks to special side protections, so as to adapt to your child as he grows.

Sweet dreams on the road: the seat is anatomical and can easily be reclined in 5 different positions using just one hand, to let your child sleep comfortably while travelling, even when he is a little older. This feature is very important when the child is still small and has just switched from a group 0 car seat to his brand new cocoon.

A far-sighted choice that pays off

Choosing a car seat like Viaggio 1•2•3 Via does not just mean investing in the safety and comfort of your children; in the long run, it also means saving money and optimising on space. Purchasing this type of car seat is cheaper than buying two in various progressive groups. Furthermore, having a single car seat means not having a second or third one lying around the house or in the garage if you have more than one child.

A single car seat: a single purchase offering many advantages for the entire family.

How a dad should choose a group 2-3 car seat.

When the time comes to choose something that has to do with technology and cars, then it's a whole new ball game. But the responsibility weighs heavily on the dads’ shoulders, because the moms are there waiting to see if their decision will pass muster. They would not want the choice to be based on:

• price considerations, as cheaper products would not guarantee quality;
• the convenience of friends, who want to get rid of their second-hand car seat regardless of its expiry date (did you even know car seats have one?!); over time, these may no longer meet basic safety requirements due to wear and tear;
• the fact that the colors match the car interior;
• aesthetic factors, without thinking about safety, convenience and comfort.

Any one of these false steps - the last one in particular - would cost the unfortunate dad dearly!

To their rescue, here comes the latest Peg Perego car seat, Viaggio 2-3 Flex. This comprehensive solution keeps children safe when traveling by car, and keeps dads safe against anxious mother hens.

Surefix Base: maximum safety, even with a...shall we say... sporty driving style.

While seated in a Viaggio 2-3 Flex car seat, your child can count on the best possible protection. This is because Peg Perego safeguards all the most sensitive parts of the body, such as the head, back, neck and chest. This new seat protects your little ones against side and rear impacts and against whiplash by means of an aluminum-reinforced backrest. Moreover, the built-in Surefix Base ensures maximum stability when cornering or indulging in a spot of sporty driving (when the wife’s at home, of course).

One seat for every need.

Your friends' garages have become a deposit of childhood items: high chairs, changing tables, toys ... and a variety of car seats for different ages. The flexibility of Viaggio 2-3 Flex makes its the best choice, also from this point of view. Its 4D Total Adjust feature means that it can be adjusted in 4 different ways: headrest (5 positions relative to the backrest), upper part of the backrest (3 heights), side protections (the width increases by up to 10 cm) and anatomic seat (5 positions, adjustable with one hand). In addition, the new Blind Lock coupling system prevents the child seat from being inadvertently released by anyone sitting next to the child.

Viaggio 2-3 Flex, therefore, offers an extremely high level of comfort, as it can be widened and heightened, following your child's growth from 3 to 12 years of age (15 - 36 kg). This is a very important practical aspect, and one that will undoubtedly appeal to your wife for its far-sightedness.

Fold it and take it with you, just like a gym bag.

Here at last is a car seat that folds and is as easy to carry as your gym bag. Viaggio 2-3 Flex folds in on itself, making it handy to carry. Moreover, if you need to leave it folded away in the car, it is less subject to the wear and tear caused by heat as the inside is protected from direct sunlight. Finally, when your child is not with you and you have passengers in the car, you can easily fold your Viaggio 2-3 Flex and store it in the trunk. Fantastic, right?! Handling strollers, infant carriers, bassinets and car seats is usually dad's task, but with the highly versatile Viaggio 2-3 Flex, mom will have no trouble stepping in.

Safe, flexible, practical, and attractive to boot!

Viaggio 2-3 Flex is a car seat that will make you feel a great family man, caring and attentive to the safety of your child. You have made the right choice, as it is almost impossible to find another car seat that can claim to have all these qualities together in one product. You've become a hero in your wife's eyes, because you have thought of both the safety and comfort of your child. From now on, your little tot will be able to enjoy the comfort of a veritable little armchair, which can even be reclined with one hand!

On top of everyone's satisfaction, you can reap the benefits of your own personal gratification: among all the car seats available, you have made the best possible choice, also in terms of aesthetics! With its sporty design, high quality finish and fabric-leather mix, your only regret will be that you were unable to go for a spin in it yourself when you were small, as at that time these latest generation products did not exist. Because Viaggio 2-3 Flex is just like one of those armchairs from which pilots would control their super robots in the Japanese cartoons you used to always watch in the '80s.

So Dads, rest assured that you have made an excellent choice and ensured your children's safety at best. Now, all that's left is to take your family for a spin with Viaggio 2-3 Flex!
