Summary: Awesome seat...! 2008-06-06
Comment: This is a great seat. It's stylish but most importantly, it's one of the safest infant's seat there is. It offers the SIP, and the base level indicator which assists with getting a proper installations. Given that 80 something percent of seats are installed wrong, this is a huge bonus for me as a mom...it offers no worries in that arena.

Summary: We LOVED this carseat! 2007-08-21
Comment: Hmm, I am surprised at the low rating this carseat has received. We have never had any problems with it, and my son LOVED it before he got too big for it. I'll add that he didn't get too big for it until he was over 8 months old and 23 lbs. I don't have a small child, and he was comfortable in the infant carrier for a long time. We never had any problems with the canopy, it always seemed to cover him just fine, and after heavy use (two different cars, every day and our son occasionally playing with the seat at home) our seat looks brand spanking new. Nothing has ever broken or rubbed off. Yes, the carseat is heavy, but I honestly don't remember the last time I actually CARRIED it somewhere. The longest I ever carried it was to and from the cart corral at shopping centers, or into the house from our driveway. What carseat isn't heavy? Believe me, since I have a bad back, I tried them all when I was pregnant, and this one was the only one that didn't hurt my back. Granted, I think they could improve it with an ergonomic handle, but that's about it. I truly loved this infant seat. Another poster has said that why bother getting an infant carrier when you'll just upgrade to the convertable seat later, and I will say that keeping your newborn asleep getting in and out of the car is all the reason I'll ever need to have an infant carrier. He was a light sleeper, so taking him in and out of a seat everytime we stopped somewhere would have been brutal on us all. We have the PP Pilko 3 stroller too....they're both fabulous!

Summary: Good product, has drawbacks 2006-07-14
Comment: We bought this to go with the P3 stroller. The seat is rated well and works fine, but if I had my way I would fix a few things. 1) The seat is heavy, add to it an 18 lb baby and you have yourself a backache. 2) the visor stinks.. it barely covers the baby or shades him in anyway so I had to constantly use blankets and other props to keep him shaded. From what I hear other seats have much better ones. 3)Handle. Most seats are like this but it would be so much better if it had that turned handle so you could actually carry it without twisting your arm. 4)It doesnt recline hardly at all in the car so the babys head slumps more than I'd like. It isnt cheap either so, its not worth the price tag. Some of these are minor gripes but the amount of use this thing gets, its worth knowing.
It works fine and it's served us for 6 months, but next time I'll know what to look for and this isn't it. The p3 stroller on the other hand is terrific.

Summary: Serves the purpose 2006-05-23
Comment: I got this as a gift off of my baby registry. Although it is quit heavy to carry, I haven't had any major problems with this seat. I like the look and quality of the product. My son doesn't mind the straps and I hope that as he grows it won't be a problem for him. We are happy about this gift and plan to buy the stroller to match soon.

Summary: Go look at this in store before buying! 2006-04-17
Comment: I strongly encourage anyone interested in this seat to go look and test it out in store before buying. It is a very attractive seat and we really wanted to purchase it to go with our Pliko stroller. The 2006 model has some much improved features over the older versions, including the SIP and that it can be used without a base. But the seat has some major drawbacks that lead me to return the seat. The canopy barely covers the baby and can't adjusted to many angles like other seats, thus leaving the sun in your baby's eyes. Another draw back is the way the fabric covers the SIP panels. It's hard to explain, but basically, the SIP panels are EPS foam that are cut into three pieces covered with fabric, at least sort of. The cover has an elastic edge and only partially covers the back of the foam so it is visible when you look behind the panels and as the foam is moved or the cover is adjusted, it breaks down and gets all over the seat. When we returned our seat, we looked at the store model and they too had little foam crumbs in the seat. (A previous reviewer also said that a Babies-R-Us staff person said some of the panels broke in the store samples.) I was worried that the pieces could break off in pieces big enough for the baby to grab an put into her mouth when she gets a bit older. Other things to consider ~ the cost is high and the seat is heavy for the relatively low weight and seat limits. Also important to note that while the older model of the viaggio was tested among Consumer Report's safest seats, this one has not yet been reviewed. Just some things to keep in mind when you make your purchase. We ended up getting the Graco SafeSeat (which we can also use with our Pliko although it doesn't snap in it fits in place and feels very sturdy in the stroller) and are much happier with it. The canopy rotates 180 degrees, keeping the sun off the baby, it feels like a rock in our car, and was simple to install, and we will be able to use it for a lot longer than the viaggio. Happy Shopping!
