Best Baby Strollers

The Pliko Switch pushchair is a brand new Peg Pergo model (available in 2008) that takes all of the features of Peg Perego’s popular Pliko line and adds one that mums in the UK have been clamoring for over the past few years. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair is reversible, so it can be forward facing or rearward facing. The ability to keep your eye on baby has long been lacking in Peg Perego strollers, so the Pliko Switch is a welcome addition to the excellent Peg Perego line.

The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair is umbrella folding both with the seat facing the mother and with the seat facing forwards, a big plus in my book. Too many reversible pushchairs either require the seat to be removed before folding or returned to one position of the other. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch is extremely compact when closed and can even stand up alone, making it a space-saving pushchair for family’s without a lot of extra room. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair also features a centralized handle to make folding and carrying easy, even while holding baby.

Height adjustable handles, large shopping basket, cup holders, and hinged front bumper/baby tray make the Peg Perego Pliko Switch convenient for mum. A plush, padded seat with a five-point freedom of movement harness and multiple position recline makes the Peg Perego Switch Pushchair cozy and comfy for baby. Currently, there are only 3 colour combinations available for the Peg Perego Pliko Switch (red and gray “Tango,” chocolate and tan “Mocha,” and Dark brown and green “Bambu”), but all of them are tasteful and modern. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch features removable upholstery that is machine washable. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch’s large hood unzips into a summery sun canopy.

One of the most popular features of the Peg Perego Pliko line is the included footboard for transporting older children on the back of the pushchair. Although I have yet to see or read how this feature will work with the Pliko Switch’s rearward facing seat, I imagine it will be fun for an older child to ride while looking down at his baby brother or sister. Time will tell whether the Peg Perego Pliko Switch still allows the footboard to be used in a practical way.

For those who want a travel system, the Pliko Switch, like all Peg Perego models, includes built in car seat adaptors for the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio car seat. All the other Peg Perego Pliko models have made excellent use of this feature, and parents often claim it to be their favorite thing about the pushchair.

The Peg Perego Pliko Switch pushchair really only has one negative factor at this point: it’s brand new. Because the Pliko Switch has yet to be widely used, there is no guarantee that it will perform as promised. However, based on the excellent quality of the rest of the Peg Perego Pliko line, I’m guessing that if you are looking for a reversible pushchair, the Peg Perego Pliko Switch is a safe bet.
