A crucial factor leading you to make a choice is how the chassis folds, which can be a book-fold or an umbrella-fold.
All our chassis have a book-fold, with the exception of Easy Drive, which has an umbrella-fold and is available in the Switch Easy Drive Completo Modular and Switch Easy Drive Sportivo Modular versions.  

Book Plus, Book Plus S, Book Plus 51 have a book-fold but the features listed below make them different.

Book Plus S is the top of the range and its distinguishing features are the faux-leather handlebar, the Soft-Ride wheels and the side command, which allows you to switch from locked to swiveling wheels without bending down. It stands out for its elegant design. It is available in two colors (Jet or White-Black) in the Completo, Sportivo and PopUp versions.

Book Plus 51  - as the name says - is only 51 centimeters wide and moves easily, fits everywhere (even in the narrowest of lifts) and takes up less room in the boot of the car. Its compactness is its winning feature and it is available in the Completo, Sportivo and PopUp versions. The available chassis colors are Jet and White-Black.

Book Plus is the innovative chassis that marked the “Book” era in the Peg Perego mansion. It comes in two colors, Silver-Black or Total-Black. This super-maneuverable compact stroller can be opened, folded and steered with just one hand. It is available in the Completo, Sportivo and PopUp versions.

As the picture clearly shows, these three chassis can be fitted with two bassinets, Navetta XL  (suitable in cars for newborns or up to 10 kg, Group 0) or Navetta PopUp (which does not need to be removed from the chassis to fold). The kind of set and the available colors and fabric depend on which bassinet you choose.

We have two more modular systems to talk to you about, the ones we define "Special edition".

Book Plus 500 is the travel system signed by FIAT - a dynamic system with lots of different accessories all tuned to the unique Fiat 500 car.

Book Pure Modular is one of the new items in the 2015 collection. Its total-white look and faux-leather details make it a truly "glamorous strolling" modular system.
The available fabrics and colors are part of the Glamour Collection, in which trendy colors and faux-leather are harmoniously combined.

Free to choose is our philosophy  :-)

Her review of our Book Plus  - which you can read here – is detailed and well-structured and includes a video we would like you to see. The review is last year's and meanwhile our Book has evolved to become the favorite PegPerego product among moms all round the world. Janet was long-sighted, was she not?

The video concentrates on how easy our stroller is to fold, on how compact it is when folded and on the fact that it is free-standing. These features have won over many parents, but they are not the only reasons our Book Plus is so widely appreciated.

In Janet's post many other details are skillfully shown, such as the stroller's maneuverability guaranteed by the adjustable handlebar and the wheels with ball bearings.

You have no idea how proud we are to have satisfied the Stroller Queen

As Amy explains in the post, it is difficult to decide on a travel system because you are not actually sure yet about what you will need. There are no criteria, which makes it even more difficult to decide. Amy and her husband started by choosing the car seat. For this American family, everything rotates around the car seat and how easy it is to use with the stroller’s chassis. This kind of lifestyle is original, interesting and not really very like our Italian lifestyle.

Read the full review and follow TheShoppingMama: Amy has promised to write about her “practical” adventures with our Book Plus as soon as… she has given birth! Best wishes

Our

The Book Plus Modular 500 is made up of:

Book Plus chassis: this innovative book-fold chassis can be closed with just one hand. Central handle for collapsing the stroller and moving it comfortably on 2 wheels, like a trolley.

Reversible coordinated seat that can be used on the chassis, with hood, rain cover and leg cover.

Navetta XL, a bassinet approved for cars and that can be mounted on the chassis.

Primo Viaggio SL, a car seat that can be attached to the Book Plus chassis as well.

Bag: a large bag with a mat to change the baby on.

For more details please read the product information sheet on our web site.

The 500 edition has details and inserts that match those of the FIAT 500 world. The seat cover is made of two soft and resistant pieces of jersey fabric with soft padding.

The “customized” one-piece handle is lined with eco-leather – just like the real steering wheel of the FIAT 500.

The car seat is our newest Primo Viaggio SL.

Tips, recipes, reviews and giveaways form the basis of this website that has conquered the trust of many American moms. Our Book Plus has also raised their interest to such an extent that they have tested and described it in a post rich in details, pictures and practical information.

While, of course, we invite you to read the post, we would also like to outline some of the main reasons why Shannon has judged our Book Plus “pretty fabulous”:

- A solid handle bar makes this stroller so easy to move about that one hand is all it takes, even by Shannon’s 3 and 6 year old girls.
- The handle is adjustable: perfect for the different heights of mom and dad.
- The basket under the stroller is not only easily accessible, it’s huge.
- The seat is adjustable and reversible.
- It has a really compact fold.
- The canopy is huge and there is UV protection.

For all the other (many) reasons, we suggest you visit TheSimpleMoms . Thanks Shannon for your enthusiastic review!

Out thanks, therefore, go to KidsGo.de, a portal of reference for German parents, for this new acknowledgment, that awards our brand new Book Plus and fills us with pride.

A car can also be useful when hunting out the unusual and entertaining (an at times essential) aspects of life, and there too it is important to be properly equipped to ensure the passengers' safety.

Do you recognize it? It's our Viaggio 2-3 Surefix, which Mari describes in the post on her blog. Yes, her blog is in German, and yes, you need to speak the language. But if you don't, you can always enjoy Mari's beautiful photographs, a universal language understood by all. We must admit: for us, discovering these reviews around the globe, and entering these virtual homes “inhabited” by our products, is truly exciting.

So don't be put off by the language: I bet you can learn to make pom-poms from Mari, even if you don't speak a word of German!

PS: all the pictures belong to Mari and are published in her blog

You're just one step ahead of us: the parasol will soon be on sale, probably in early May. These last few months we've been working to “complete” our offerings connected with our latest “family jewel”. Just a little more patience, and then you can turn to your local dealer.

In the meantime, you could just open the hood.

If you have bought a Book stroller, you can open it up completely, including the rear section (see figure 11 on the instruction sheet)

The video on the features sheet, at around minute 0:50, might also be useful.

If, instead, you have chosen a Book Plus stroller, detach the buttons fastening the hood to the rear of the backrest and free the last section of the hood, folding it inwards. In this way you can create a sort of sunroof that you can move back and forwards as needed

You can follow this “transformation” step by step at minute 2:46 of the video on our website.

Because, as we aimed at broadening our range of lightweight strollers, we thought not of a new model but of an “accessory” to complete a set that families had already bought. We could have created a new stroller but we preferred to make a seat that could be mounted onto an available chassis, the Book Plus.

Pratico is the element that will allow your Book Plus to “evolve” as your child grows. Parents often buy modular sets (especially for the birth of a first child) that provide – in one solution - everything needed for moving with a child.
However, when the child grows, learns to walk and rhythms change, a lighter and more maneuverable stroller is required.
This means carefully storing away the modular set and buying or borrowing a lightweight stroller. Thanks to Pratico, this scenario is completely changed.

By changing the seat unit the Book Plus chassis can be used for longer, getting the highest return on the investment made and reducing the space used for storage at home (or in the garage, in the loft, storeroom, grandparents’ house…).

With safety straps of adjustable height, reclinable backrest and foldable hood, Pratico expresses the quality of made in PegPerego at its best, taking into consideration the needs of modern families. This seat is more flexible, suitable for a growing child, wide and just as safe.
Pratico comes with a handy travel bag, so if you have a second child and have to start all over again, you can store it away safely
