Introducing the Peg Perego Vivace stroller – a stylish and innovative addition to the world of baby gear that effortlessly combines functionality with a sleek design. This full-featured, but lightweight stroller is designed by the renowned Italian brand Peg Perego and has a smooth and comfortable ride for both parent and child. The Vivace is stocked with features, from its lightweight and compact frame to its amazing maneuverability. In this review, we’ll dive into the key aspects that make the Peg Perego Vivace a standout choice for discerning parents, exploring its design, functionality, and overall performance to help you make an informed decision for your family’s needs.
STROLLER SEAT
The Vivace seat is roomy measuring 12″ wide with a 22″ seat back and a measurement of 24″ from seat to canopy. It accommodates from birth (thanks to the near flat recline!) up to 50 lbs. A reclining seat is key for baby to nap on the go and the Vivace more than delivers is this area. The deep, near flat, one-handed recline is so easy to do and can even be used as an impromptu changing space. The seat sports a padded, adjustable, 5-point harness for safety, although it isn’t the most user-friendly to adjust, and an adjustable leg rest for comfort. The seat is reversible so that your little rider can face parent or out at the world. We love that the swing-away (and removable) baby bumper bar is covered with a durable faux leather instead of foam.
HANDLE BAR
The handlebar on the stroller is not adjustable but it is tall and measures 41″ from ground to handle. It should be good for taller and shorter parents alike, but if you are SUPER tall, you might want to check it out first.
CANOPY
At first look, the two panel canopy is large and features an additional pop-out sun visor, but if you open the 3rd panel that unzips, the canopy is GIANT! It will give your baby complete coverage even when fully reclined as it folds down in front of the baby bumper bar. The mesh peek-a-boo window on the back panel of the canopy is not only great for keeping an eye on your little rider but also allows air to circulate through the stroller seat.
STROLLER BASKET
A big basket on a stroller is key for carrying all the things and the Peg Perego Vivace doesn’t disappoint in this area either. It is accessible from the front and back of the stroller and can accommodate a large diaper bag or a bunch of baby essentials.
WHEELS
The Vivace rolls on 7″ no-flat wheels with all wheel suspension. The one-step brake is flip-flop friendly and very easy to engage.
MANEUVERABILITY
The stroller has great maneuverability (thanks to the lightweight frame and all-wheel suspension) and can tackle all types of mom terrain such as grass, playground mulch and gravel.
STROLLER FOLD
The Peg Perego Vivace fold is SUPER easy to do with just one hand. The stroller locks into place with an automatic lock and ends in a standing fold. It’s a compact package that only weighs in at just over 21 lbs so it is easy to travel with.
ACCESSORIES
There are two great accessories INCLUDED with the Vivace stroller. First, the Vivace comes with infant car seat adapters for use with any of the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 4-35 infant car seats to turn it into a travel system. There is also an INCLUDED, gorgeous all-weather boot that keeps baby warm and comfy in the seat on cold or windy days.
Besides those two included accessories, there are loads of accessories sold separately to enhance your Vivace. Just a few of those accessories are: Bassinet (with stand), Ride with Me Board, Child Snack Tray, Stroller Bag, Rain Cover, Maxi Cosi car seat adapters, Mosquito Cover, cupholder and much more.
PRICE
The Peg Perego Vivace stroller retails for a pricey $699.
