Babies may be teeny tiny, but they sure do need a lot of stuff! Of all the things a newborn needs, three pieces of gear top our list: a car seat, stroller and high chair. So what should you look for when deciding which pieces to add to your registry? We’re so glad you asked …

1. Car Seat
When selecting a car seat, the most important consideration has to be safety. Our celebrated Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 infant car seat exceeds the most stringent safety tests in the world. Designed for infants from 5 to 30 pounds (or up to 30 inches), the Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 features a Side Impact Protection (SIP) head panel that protects a child’s head, neck and spine. This SIP protection easily adjusts to 10 different positions, ensuring a perfect — and safe — fit. The Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 also has energy-absorbing foam in the shell and head panel that absorbs crash forces, resulting in less force transferred directly to child and minimizing injuries in the event of a crash. Plus, a Shock Absorbing Foam Element device located below the shell crumples upon impact, reducing stress on child’s neck and shoulders in the event of a crash. There’s also a five-point safety harness and a special removable cushion just for newborns.

2. Stroller
If you’re searching for a stroller with a newborn in mind, there are some important considerations. First, you’ll need a stroller that offers either a full recline and/or the option of attaching a car seat or bassinet. Most of our strollers are travel-system compatible with our own Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 infant car seat. And our newest stroller, the Book Plus, accommodates both our infant car seat and our newborn-ready bassinet.

3. High Chair
Since it will be months before your new baby will try solid foods, you may think it’s too early to think about a high chair, but a high chair can be a great place for baby at family mealtimes. All of our high chairs have a tilt-in-space reclining seat that’s perfect for young babies, even newborns. Our multifunction Tatamia is especially great for newborns because it transforms from a baby recliner to a high chair to a baby swing.

One of the things we’re known for at Peg Perego is our high chairs. Modern in design, and in function, we like to think we have one for every lifestyle. Which one of our five designs is right for your family? We’re so glad you asked …

Introduced just last year, our Siesta is quickly becoming a beloved favorite, especially among new parents who are looking to give baby a seat at the table right from the start.  Truly multifunctional, the Siesta can be used from birth as a recliner and then, as baby grows, as a high chair for feeding, playing and resting. A removable tray and multiple height settings allow it to be pulled right up to the table too, which is perfect for growing toddlers!

The Prima Pappa Zero 3 is the latest addition to our high chair family. With a full recline, it serves as a comfortable recliner for newborn and then easily transforms into a traditional high chair. Plus with height adjustments and a tray that completely removes, you can pull the Prima Pappa Zero 3 right up to the kitchen table too.

Another high chair with multiple uses is our celebrated Tatamia. This versatile baby seat transforms from a recliner to a swing and then to high chair! And its space-saving footprint makes it easy to roll throughout the house. New parents looking to simplify their home will love the Tatamia.

Our version of the classic high chair, the Prima Pappa Best has a finely tailored, buttery-soft (and stain-resistant!) “Prima Classe” upholstered seat. Plus, it has all the little extras Peg Perego high chairs are known for, like adjustable height, Tilt-N-Space recline and a removable, dishwasher-safe tray.

Another forever-favorite, the Prima Pappa Diner is the original Peg Perego high chair. (Fun fact: The Prima Pappa was the very first high chair on the market to introduce a reclining seat feature!) We’ve kept it up to date with great upgrades like  super-chic, colorful designs and modern must-haves like our dishwasher-safe double tray.

So, which one looks good to you? Let us know. We love hearing your feedback!

The Santa Monica Pier. Venice Beach. Looking for stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Shopping at the Grove. You know what they say… when duty calls!

We just returned from the Big City Moms’ Biggest Baby Shower Ever – Los Angeles, and while we had an amazing time, the best part had to be meeting so many of you! We loved chatting with new moms and mommies-to-be and hearing such great feedback. (What topped our L.A. fans’ wish lists? The new Book Plus stroller, followed by our yet-to-be released Rialto booster and our celebrated Primo Viaggio SIP 5-70 Convertible car seat. The moms also couldn’t get enough of our new colorways — especially Fucsia.)

Thank you to our hosts, Big City Moms! We had an amazing time! In the last few months, we’ve been to New York, Toronto and then Los Angeles. Where should we head next?

We’re expecting! The newest addition to the Peg Perego family, the Prima Pappa Zero 3 high chair, is expected to arrive stateside (direct from Italy!) later this week, and we couldn’t be more excited.

The Prima Pappa Zero 3 is one of the only high chairs on the market (in addition to our very own Tatamia and Siesta) that can be used from birth. With a full recline, it serves as a comfortable recliner for newborn and then easily transforms into a traditional high chair.

And the Prima Pappa Zero 3 continues to grow with your child. With seven different height adjustments and a tray that completely removes, you can pull the Prima Pappa Zero 3 right up to the kitchen table. With its four non-scratching rubber wheels and super-compact fold, it’s very easy to maneuver and surprisingly compact.

The Prima Pappa Zero 3 is available in four colorways: sophisticated Savanna Cacao and Savanna Beige and the more whimsical Giraffa Glicine and Giraffa Verde, which both feature a super-fun giraffe illustration.

Pronti per la pappa? (Ready to eat?) The Prima Pappa Zero 3 will be available in select stores soon. To find a Peg Perego retailer near you, use our online Store Locator.
