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).

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

The program includes workshops, round tables, awards and hundreds of opportunities for families to spend time together and have fun. Dads and children are welcome to the Social Family Day event and they can enjoy a program planned specially for them.

This year a shuttle bus service was organized - #merivaflexmom. How can you adequately shuttle over two hundred blogger moms and their children? 
With our car seats, of course! To ensure safety, a comfortable ride and all the quality of Made in PegPerego products.

The car seats used by the children are Viaggio 2-3 Surefix and Primo Viaggio SL, both in Fleur fabric.

Our Viaggio 1 Duo-Fix K that guarantees quality and is the end result of all our research in the child's car safety, has a new look for 2014. The classic colors are always available and are now joined by modern prints and bright colors to exalt our all-Italian design.

Discover all the fabrics available in the product sheet and remember that Viaggio 1 Duo-Fix K is available in PearlGrey Alcantara, one of the most exquisite and sought-after materials.

However, because the fault may be found in one type of buckle used in child travel systems, we believe it is important to inform you of the problem.
The buckle’s fault may, in an accident, reduce the buckle’s ability to work. The problem affects a number of producers of safety travel systems for children.

Peg Perego have carried out an extensive inspection and control campaign in various countries around the world.
Among our products, the ones that could be affected are:

Peg Perego TRIFIX K car seat (Group 0+),

Peg Perego CULLA AUTO travelcot (Group 0),

Peg Perego YOUNG AUTO travelcot (Group 0),

Peg Perego MARTINELLI AUTO travelcot (Group 0),

Peg Perego Universal Kit Auto (Group 0).

If you own and use one of the above mentioned products, please follow the procedure explained on www.safety.pegperego.com to check if your product is included in the safety campaign. Before beginning, we recommend you have the product close by because you will be asked to check and enter some control numbers written on the product itself.

If you are about to buy one of the above mentioned products, asked your retailer to check if there is a green stamp on the product packaging.

The stamp guarantees that Peg Perego has already checked the item directly during the production process and considered it safe to use and therefore to sell.

You can never take too may precautions when the safety of your child is at risk.

We would like to thank you for cooperating and to apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused.

We are currently the “official supporter” of Aktion Autokidersitz, a German initiative focused on child safety. Although we can record a continuous improvement in car seat safety standards, about 60 percent of children under the age of 12 are not properly secured during car transport. Some studies have also shown that, in addition to children being improperly secured in car seats, even the car seats themselves are often not properly attached to the seats of the vehicle.

Aktion Autokindersitz focuses on the training of sales staff and on explanations to be provided to parents on how to properly install car seats. With "training" being provided all over Germany, the aim is to provide an effective tool throughout the territory, thus reaching the highest possible number of families.

Alongside of associations including ADAC, Deutsche Verkehrswacht, Kinderschutzbund, Peg Perego is also the official sponsor of this initiative. Because for us, safety comes first.

Sometimes, however, it is really hard for those not "inside" the process to imagine all the steps that are followed.
This is why we decided to publish the story of the Engineer Agrati, who went to Munich with his team just before Christmas to do some tests.

“We concluded three days of tests at the ADAC laboratory in Munich, where EuroNCAP tests, which give the famous "stars" to car seats and cars, are performed. These tests, although very expensive for the company, are of absolute importance for the development of new car seats.

Perhaps few people know that when a car seat is launched for the so-called crash test, the collision occurs in about 2 tenths of a second, during which the car seat goes from 70 km/h to zero.

It would be impossible to understand what would happen if these tests were not filmed by means of sophisticated high-speed cameras that allow engineers to see the crashes and understand what to do to reduce the negative consequences.

The modern test dummies, the Crash Test Dummies, which come with the laboratory, are much more sophisticated than the dummies used in European certification today. In fact, they are able to record decelerations sustained by the child in the head, torso and neck, and through these values we can calculate how much energy is absorbed into the child's head, how much force affects the neck, not just in a frontal collision but also in a side collision, a test which is not yet provided in European certifications.

Thanks to these experiences our company is able to design and produce a range of car seats characterized by two aspects, present in all products:

1) a generous headrest that can absorb the force of the collision;

2) the ISOFIX connection, which can significantly reduce the collision force suffered by the baby in the case of an accident.

Particularly in these three days, we have developed some improvements which will be present in the 2012 range of the Viaggio 1 Duofix but most of all we have been able to complete, with superlative results, the certification test for a completely new car seat that will be put on the market next year.

I still cannot tell you what model it is, however I am very pleased that these certification tests have been concluded far ahead of production, so that our youngest customers will already have a well-tested and reliable product available."

The video of the test drive of the new five-door Lancia Ypsilon highlights the model’s most significant features, but also the presence of Isofix attachments, ensuring ease of car seat installation. And guess what? The car seat used is our very own Viaggio 2-3 Surefix, the brand new car seat designed for older children (up to 36 kg, or 12 years of age), which has already received prestigious awards across Europe. Pretty good, right?
