Look at this picture posted by Yulya Ryding: the highchair's color matches the tone of the kitchen wall. How chic is that?

Browsing through the pictures published on Instagram with the #pegperego tag we discovered that lots of you have bought green versions of our highchairs. Can you recognize Siestaand Tatamia?

Aren't these pictures lovely? And did you notice? How cute is the kitten settling down on the base? Tatamia really conquers all!

It has to be said, though, that there exists a "generational taste" that interprets fashions, ages and periods.

Let us look at our 1993 fabrics catalogue.

catalogo_1993 catalogo1993_2

Most fabrics have cheerful patterns, with flowers, little animals, stripes, abstract drawings. There may be no accounting for taste, and we can certainly say that these fabrics - which were very popular at the time - are very different from the bright, single-color fabrics that parents prefer today. After all, twenty years have passed!

One thing we do have to say - even back in 1993 our fabrics were treated to make them waterproof and anti-stain. It’s obviously worth it, isn’t it?

What makes it special? Its brightness brings a wave of cheerful color to your cars - which little girls will probably really love :)

In the 2014 collection car seats take on new colors and patterns, such as Camouflage. You can be creative even if the child seat is designed for safe travelling in cars, can't you?
Little girls might see this Fleur car seat as a charming armchair for princesses...

If you want it all, a Fleur version of our multiple award-winning Primo Viaggio SL is available. It can be combined with Booklet or it can be bought with the Book PopUp modular set.

A good start...

We really like it, but of course it's not the only option available for the Book PopUp.
It's just that the pictures we've published almost always feature a Tulip. Are you interested in finding out about the other fabrics available? Have a look!

However, the Martindale test is based on continuous dry abrasion. What happens if the fabric is wet?

A further test measures the effect of abrasion on fabric that is expressly wet.

Here is a short video that shows the effect of abrasion on wet fabric.

Our testing never ends, even for the fabrics that we choose for our products :)

Of course we can't allow them to let the rain in! For this reason we have developed an impermeability test for sample fabric. Here is how it works.

At the end of the test the results are compared with the reference effects for this procedure.
Thanks to this comparison we can check the fabric's actual resistance to liquid.

The test is carried out with distilled water but of course the results are also valid for rain :)

These two new bright and modern colors will allow you to choose from an even broader range of our Book Plus Sportivo & Modular styles. There are “technical” changes as well, because the innovative group 0+ car seat model, Primo Viaggio SL, will be available for Book Plus Sportivo & Modular at the very time the two new fabrics are launched.

Which do you prefer? Perhaps you should start thinking about it…
