Best Baby Strollers

One of the few features the Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico doesn’t have is a pram mode. Now, with the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette, even that feature is addressed. The Peg Perego Pliko Pramette is essentially a Pliko P3 Classico with addition of Peg Perego’s “pramette” upholstery, an easy to use zippered attachment that converts the Pliko P3 Classico into a comfortable and safe pram.

Peg Perego’s other convertible pram to stroller systems have their fair share of drawbacks. The Peg Perego Uno, while stylish and smooth-riding, is bulky and wide. The Peg Perego Venezia, the company’s first venture in the convertible stroller market, is plagued by quality issues. Rather than design yet another convertible model, Peg Perego made a smart move in creating an accessory that transforms their most popular and full featured stroller, the Pliko P3 Classico, into a pram.

The Peg Perego Pliko Pramette upholstery is a little tricky to master at first, but if you keep in mind the name Peg Perego has given the feature, “zip, fold, zip,” the process is fairly simple. To convert from stroller to pram, unzip the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette upholstery and attach it to the Pliko P3 Classico stroller seat. Next, you fully reline the Pliko P3 Classico stroller seat and pop the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette into shape. By zipping on the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette’s foot muff, you complete the transformation and have a snug but spacious pram. To return the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette back to the Pliko P3 Classico form, you simply reverse the process.

Because the body of the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette is a Pliko P3 Classico, you know you’ll be getting a load of handy features. The Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico and the Pliko Pramette have a chassis with full wheel suspension, adjustable handles, built-in car seat adaptors, and cable brakes. One of the best features of the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette and Pliko P3 Classico is the included footrest that serves as a riding spot for toddlers. Convenient features like a cup holder, shopping basket, sunshade, and child snack tray are all included with the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette.

The price difference between the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette (about $430) and the Pliko P3 Classico (about $330) is roughly $100, so you’ll be paying more for the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette than you would for the Peg Perego Uno or Venezia, but in return you get a stroller that is higher quality and less prone to problems. Thanks to the universal car seat adaptor, the Peg Perego Pliko Pramette really covers all the bases of a travel system that can be used from birth to toddler. That being said, the Peg Perego Pliko P3 Classico does have a fully reclining seat, so if you don’t mind having your baby face away from you and not being fully enclosed, simply buying the Pliko P3 Completo is the most affordable option.
