Lightweight, compact and travel-system ready? Yes, please!!

It’s easy to say “yes!” to our easy-going Sì stroller. At just 15.8 pounds, the compact, lightweight Sì makes travel a breeze.

You’ll have peace of mind with the Sì’s brawny construction, five–point safety harness and hinged front bar. And the Sì’s large canopy—with ventilated window and sun shield—keeps baby protected and comfortable.

But the best part has to be that the Sì is travel-system compatible. In fact, it’s one of the few compact strollers that also takes a car seat. Our Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 (sold separately) attaches easily to the Sì stroller with included straps.

You’ll love these other great features too:

• Slim design that closes compactly with one hand and stands alone
• Adjustable handles and large storage basket
• Wheels with 12 ball bearings and suspension that allow for 360-degree agility
• Included detachable adult cup holder

The Sì is a perfect fit for on-the-go families looking for a lightweight, travel system-compatible stroller.

Now we know we shouldn’t play favorites, but we just can’t help ourselves. We have to tell you all about one amazing toy (yep, we make toys too!) from our 2012 Toy Collection—the Peg Perego John Deere Gator XUV 550.

With all-new 2012 styling, the 12-volt Peg Perego John Deere Gator XUV 550 is the perfect “work vehicle” for little helpers ages 3 to 8. Your child will love tooling around the yard in this authentic John Deere, hauling anything and everything in their huge working dump bed with opening tailgate.

A multi-position SmartPedal accelerator provides for a smooth ride, automatic brakes and for a longer (up to 27 percent) riding time. And the two-speed shifter, with reverse, allows your little adventurer to drive at 2¼ or 4½ mph on grass, dirt, gravel or hard surfaces. And as a parent, you’ll appreciate the second-gear lockout that prevents beginners from going too fast.

A 12–volt rechargeable, high-capacity battery and charger are included. And like all of our John Deere toys, the Peg Perego John Deere Gator XUV 550 is made right here in the USA.

What are you waiting for? Go outside and play!

Every baby deserves the style, safety and comfort of our celebrated Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30. That’s why this beloved infant car seat is once again a centerpiece of our new collection.

The 2012 Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 is the ideal solution for transporting infants and young toddlers who are between 5 and 30 pounds or up to 30 inches. It’s the car seat we recommend to every new mom, and it’s the one all of us here at Peg Perego use with our own babies.

The thoughtfully designed car seat, which doubles as an infant carrier, exceeds the most stringent safety standards in the world, including Euro NCAP Side Impact Protection tests. Plus, it features:

• A quick-release five-point safety harness with shoulder pads and fail-safe buckle
• Adjustable Side Impact Protection (SIP) that adjusts in five vertical positions
• A headrest and upholstery made of our soft “Confort Dry” microfiber cloth, which stays comfortably dry and allows for proper ventilation
• An additional removable cushion for newborns
• One LATCH system base (additional bases are sold separately)

And, it’s one good-looking car seat! (Don’t believe us? Ask stylist-to-the-stars Rachel Zoe. She and baby Skyler Morrison were recently spotted out and about with the Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30.)

For 2012, the Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 comes in a wide variety of fashionable colors that coordinate with our strollers. And, with new colors like classic Zaffiro navy, trendy Denim and cool Southpole, it looks like 2012 with the 30-30 will be quite a stylish year.

Yes, it’s coming back! The Skate, the defining luxury stroller that has quickly become a style icon, is again part of our collection for 2012.

And this year, we’re kicking it up a notch with a new classic-meets-chic color offering—Denim. And it looks good. Really good.

Ever so stylish, the three-piece Skate System is the ultimate in luxury. It easily converts from an ultra-comfortable carriage to a reversible, fully functional stroller.

The bassinet can stand alone and features a three-position height adjustment, plus an adjustable backrest. Updated wheels with 12 ball bearings and suspensions allow for 360-degree agility and effortless pushing and maneuverability.

And, as if that’s not enough, consider this long list of thoughtful features that make the Skate System truly special:

• Travel system compatible with included car seat adapters
• Multi-position adjustable handlebar
• Included foot muff, rain cover, removable basket/carry-all and adult cup holder
• Removable front bar that can be swapped out for a snack tray (sold separately)
• The available Skate Jumper Seat (sold separately), which turns the Skate into a head-turning double stroller for two

Stylish, luxurious and easy to maneuver and configure, the Skate System is perfect for any on-the-go lifestyle.

We are all so excited about the New Year, especially our 2012 Collection, that we just had to give you an inside look at what’s to come. This month, through our authorized retailers, we’ll be launching our newest (and coolest!) collection for baby. So what’s in store for 2012?

On the Go with Peg Perego
First, we have a little confession. We have been swooning, yes swooning, over the 2012 color swatch book. We just love seeing all of our beloved strollers in the new colors, like classic Zaffiro navy, trendy Denim and the ever-so-cool Regata blue.

As for strollers, we have a great lineup for 2012: two travel systems—the luxurious Skate System and the complete (and updated for 2012!) Switch Four Modular System, and six strollers—the reversible Uno, the versatile (and redesigned for 2012!) Switch Four, the full-featured (also redesigned for 2012!) Pliko Four, the lightweight Si, the oh-so-easy Vela Easy Drive and the compact Pliko Mini.

For siblings, we have the convenient side-by-side double stroller, the Aria Twin 60-40, and the travel system-ready Duette SW and Triplette SW.

At Home with Peg Perego
With chic designs, innovative engineering and some of the prettiest colors and fabrics we’ve ever seen on baby gear, we are over the moon for our 2012 high chair collection.

With four amazing chairs— our new-for-2012 Siesta (which can be used as a recliner or as a high chair for feeding, playing or resting), our upscale Prima Pappa Best, our classic and colorful Prima Pappa Diner and the multifunctional Tatamia, we know you’ll find one that strikes your fancy.

As will our sleek musical bouncer, the Sdraietta Melodia. With cool colors and features (like an MP3 player input), it’s our go-to baby shower gift.

Traveling with Peg Perego
Perhaps what we’re most proud of in our 2012 Collection is our complete lineup of car seats. For years, parents across the world (especially here in the U.S.) have been clamoring for the celebrated safety and design of our beloved Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 infant car seat for their older children.

This year, our collection includes the Primo Viaggio SIP 5-70 Convertible car seat and our brand new Viaggio HBB 120 booster seat. Like all of our products, these seats were a true labor of love, and we can’t wait to share them with all of you (and yes, install a few in our very own backseats; we’re parents too after all!)

So that’s the inside scoop, but stay tuned because we might just have a few more surprises in store for 2012!

Happy New Year!
