 "Good Stroller but Plastic" | 2009-10-09 |

At first I thought of buying the Peg Perego Pliko P3, I couldnt push myself getting one because it is pricey at [...] and i am paying for a stroller that mainly made of strong plastic! so I decided on getting something cheaper. I was window shopping at babiesRus.. accidently, i found this 2008 model Aria OH in green bubble on clearance at [...]after sale tax!! what a super bargain!!!
What I LOVE:
* is pushes smoothly with 1 hand
* 1 hand closing and folds compactly
* My 9 yr old can lift the stroller without problem, so lightweight at 10lbs!
* Large hood and huge peek a poop window
* Multiple reclining position
What I HATE:
* Basket is small, hard to reach
* peek a poop is huge but sun goes thru the window
* The harness.. freedom of movement is useless.. my 4months old's head was resting of the bucket, so uncomfortable.. I have to roll up a cloth to put on the back of the head
* Useless and firmsy parent cupholder
* The carseat is hard to attach to the seat, needs practise, alot!
i would recommend this stroller to anyone.. but for 2008 model only.. the present model (2009) the safety button is located at the back of the opening button, so it is real hard to press back and below at the same time.. The 2008 model is locate all together.
Thoug i may have some dislike about this stroller, but overall i am happy and especially for the price I paid.. I shouldnt be complaining too much! hey is a Peg Perego, where to find a USD95 Peg Perego! |

 "A perfect compromise" | 2009-09-28 |

This stroller is remarkably light weight. It's only a little bit heavier than an umbrella stroller.
It folds (and unfolds) in under a second using only one hand.
It maneuvers very easily in tight spaces and despite the small wheels can roll over any reasonable terrain.
There is adequate storage underneath, a substantial tray table, and side hooks for cup holders, bags, or other small items.
If you just want an umbrella stroller then you can buy one for a bit less. It will be a bit lighter and probably nowhere near as sturdy or comfortable for your child. If you want a full sized stroller then you will have to spend a bunch more or sacrifice on comfort, convenience, of both.
If you want one stroller that you can use for walks around the neighborhood as well as trips to the mall and trips to other countries then the Pet Perego Aria is an excellent choice. |

 "not so "happymother"" | 2009-09-02 |

the seller Happymother's inconvenienced me greatly when they never alerted me to the fact that they over sold the item...so it didn't come in the estimated time (as they were out of stock.)
While the price was good, the stroller looks nice, and is light weight there are 2 major design flaws with this stroller...
1. the seat is set too low, and my child's feet are able to get caught in the front wheels.
2. the breaks stick out from the back wheels making it impossible for me to get the stroller up stairs by walking backwards and backing it up (as i did with my metrolite greco stroller) so i have to actually pick it up and struggle with it to get it up my front stoop, or any other stairs i encounter on my daily walks.
i like the snack tray, the under-storage, and the more narrow width, but being unable to back up stairs, and my child's feet getting caught in the wheels are a bit of a deal breaker! also the seat belt is a confusing mess of straps and hooks. the metrolite seat belt system was much better.

| "Try it first if you have small hands!" | 2009-06-11 |

I don't own this stroller, but wanted to share a word of caution after trying it in the store. My husband tried it first and LOVED how it folded and unfolded and how light it was. I was convinced I wanted it - until I tried it myself. It operates by squeezing two buttons on the handle, placed for thumb and fingers. My hands were simply too small to squeeze both buttons at once, and I could not get the knack of doing it two-handed. That completely took it out of consideration for us. This probably applies to a small percentage of parents, but is a good reason to try it in store before ordering.
Based on my husband's liking it so much, we were also surprised to see that Consumer Reports gave it a low rating as well. |

| "Great stroller but Moka is not brown! It's black." | 2009-04-18 |

This company really needs to update their photo of the Moka color in the Peg Perego Aria stroller that's used on every website and even in their own literature. It is NOT brown. It's black with sort of grey taupey parts. Not a bit of the stroller is the brown color shown in the photos you see everywhere for "Moka". If I knew I were getting a black color stroller I would have selected another color entirely because I really didn't want black. But it would be a pain to return so I'm stuck with a boring goth black stroller.

We bought this stroller for a trip overseas when my baby was 4 months old. Our primary stroller was a bulky travel system from Evenflo, which I hate it now.
This Peg Perego model in particular did the job well. It's very lightweight, which was a main factor for buying it. I also like the fact that it has a kid tray, something that most lightweight strollers don't have. The canopy is probably the largest I have seen in any stroller. It blocks all sun coming down on my baby girl. The padding is very cushy and my daughter seems to be very comfy in it. The seat inclines enough for her to get a nap, which is nice.
The cons I have with this model is the handle bar; for the price of this stroller, you'd think they would put a cushioned handle, but it's a bare piece of plastic. The parent drink holder is pretty much useless, but I didn't buy this for a cup holder. Also this stroller doesn't handle well on rough surfaces. There's no suspension.
In all, I think this is a very good stroller and also stylish. I hardly use my bulky travel system these days after purchasing this one. It makes more sense being practical.
just a note on the color of this stroller. It looks a lot lighter in the picture than in real life. The dark brown in the picture is actually black and the light brown in the picture is actually dark brown. |
