Peg-Perego 2010 Skate Stroller System, Tropical

 (16 customer reviews)

I really wanted to love this stroller. It met all of my needs. We live in an appartment with no storage so I wanted a stroller that only had one piece that would take us from newborn to toddler and would take the car seat without adding any other equiptment. My husband is also 6'5" and I am 5'4" so the stroller needed hight adjustment. This stroller met all my demands with the addition that it could be used facing out and in (towards the person pushing and also has the largest canopy and really can keep the sun off my son. I love this stroller for all of thoes reasons but it has some major faults that make it not worth the giganitc price tag. The breaking system on our stroller was broken on arrival. The adjustable handle broke after about 6 months use. I need to use this stroller every day as we are out all the time and don't have a car. It seems unreasonable that it should break after so little use. The next thing that broke was the latch that keeps the stroller from...Read more

Just bought the Peg Perego Skate system in Tropical. I will give it a 5 star for many reasons. We were torn between the Bugaboo Chameleon, UPPA baby vista, and Britax B-Ready and I must say that the skate is the best investment ever! More bells and whistles for you $$$ it's expensive but well worth it. Took it to the mall yesterday, and it just SKATES not GLIDE... the bearing is awesome on the wheels, the fabric is not cheap, its thick and comfortable, it came with accessories. The Bassinet is NOT flimsy! it is sturdy and the matress reclines, only difference with the 2010-2011 is the fabric, which you can buy different ones from Peg Perego for $150-300.00 I was also told by CS that they are releasing new fabrics in the fall so I cant wait. Its a click and go system! UNLIKE the Bugaboo, you must remove wheels here and there to make it an "all terrain" stroller as with the skate you just press a button and you can use the stroller on grass, cobblestone etc. Very happy with that,...Read more

i liked it a lot when i got it. in four months the suspension started making a very loud noise. so loud that it woke my son on several occasions. my cousin has the same stroller and hers started squeaking at about the same time (our kids are two weeks apart). i contacted customer service and they suggested to send the stroller so that they can inspect it. it would take over a week. and how do u go without a stroller for a week? the service center is really far, so we got no service.
after another couple of months the frame got crooked to the point that the bassinet tipped over and my very curious baby fell out. again, we were offered to ship the stroller ( a huge heavy thing with the bassinet that wouldn't come of) to them or take to a very far service location. my husband fixed the frame somehow. the bassinet came of and wee were able to install the seat instead. but it still looks slightly crooked. we had the worst experience with peg perego customer service. i am not buying...Read more
