Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 4-35 Nido - Rear Facing Infant Car Seat - Includes Base with Load Leg & Anti-Rebound Bar - for Babies 4 to 35 lbs - Made in Italy - Merino Grey

This is one of my favorite things our baby owns. I. Love. This. Carseat. We use it in a BOB stroller, as well. The material and stitching looks super posh, the neck support and newborn insert are comfortable, the harness retainers make slipping baby in and out a breeze, and the strap adjustments are simple. I live where its very hot and sunny and the hood is great--coverage, but breathable. I get compliments on this thing everywhere I go. Plus I really love that it is so safe. (And also seriously, that stitching. Swooooon.)

This is the Cadillac is car seats, not only is it rated very highly in the safety category, it’s so stylish. I’ve gotten so many compliments on the color and the fact that the hood can go all the way to their feet. The upgraded base is amazing and there is virtually no movement when the seat is in the car. Others complained about removing the car seat cover but I was able to do it easily and put it back on easily as well!

We have had this for two months now and love it. Easy in and out of car seat dock. Super comfortable material and soo easy to clean. We had a bigger baby so we didn’t really use stage 1, but had my baby been smaller (under 9 lbs) I’m sure we would have. Only thing I don’t love is when you move the shade thing up and down it clicks and I wish that was quiet. I looked at all the reviews and it was top rated for safety. Why skimp on that? Awesome car seat and would buy again.

I really like almost everything about this car seat but as others have mentioned, it tips backwards super easily which is my reasoning for 4 stars. The handle can serve as a “kickstand” of sorts if you position it all the way back behind the seat but when setting the seat down, we are extra cautious to be sure we do not set it on an elevated surface (chair, table, couch etc.). At a doctor’s appointment, I brought my baby in, placed the car seat on a chair to get her out more easily (not having to bend down to the ground postpartum) and once I took her out and moved, the seat immediately flipped backwards. I understand the nature of the seat and did then but I was still shocked at how “back heavy” it is. Obviously, it tipping back while a baby is in it on the floor won’t hurt them, just scare them if anything, but off any other surface, there is actual danger.
