 WARNING to anyone with this car seat!!! November 6, 2008

WARNING to all owners newer model Peg Perego SIP 30/30 Infant Seats. It has two major defects.
1> Defective part causes cuts on baby's heels and legs.
2> Defective latch can cause seat to fall out of Pliko P3 stroller and have baby land on ground.
Peg Perego's SIP 30/30 Infant seat is defective and they have not made registered customers aware of it. They are not taking responsibility for the safety of the children using this seat. They have been aware of the first issue since the beginning of summer 2008.
The first issue with the seat causes cuts. We discovered lacerations on our son's ankles for over a month but could not figure out what was causing them. On a road trip we discovered a large bleeding gash on the back of his ankle about the size of a DIME. We traced the source to the SIP 30/30 car seat's plastic strap cover near the feet. There was blood on the cover and the edges were sharp enough to cut my finger. When I called Peg Perego, it took over an hour to get through to their customer service. Once I did, I discovered over 50 children have already been injured and they anticipate FOUR THOUSAND seats could have this issue. DO NOT follow their instructions to remove the plastic cover until receiving the replacement. The metal latch further cut up the back of our son's legs while waiting for the part. It took almost 4 DAYS to get the part from them instead of shipping it priority overnight.
It is Peg Perego's RESPONSIBILITY to inform registered seat users of this dangerous issue, yet they have done NOTHING to warn people. Not even an e-mail. They plan to ship the parts when they have replacement. It has been almost 5 months since they first learned about the issue. How many more children will be injured before they make the public aware of this defect. Since discovering this issue, I have told every parent I see with this car seat about this issue. Their response is normally "I was wondering where those cuts where coming from."
The second issue with the seat is latching into Peg Perego's Pliko P3 stroller. The infant seat has two possible latch points. We attached the seat to the stroller using the outside latch. We heard both sides of the seat "click" as explained. While pushing the cart the infant seat fell off the stroller and landed on the sidewalk with our son head down and screaming. We were lucky the stroller wasn't stopped by a street where it could have fallen in front of a car. The fact it can even latch to something that will not hold the seat, much less EASILY latch, is a SERIOUS design defect that is extremely dangerous to children. It could be fatal.
Peg Perego needs to take responsibility for their poorly designed products and let people know about these issues. Hopefully as a buyer you will review this and evaluate if their products are safe for your children before buying and they are injured.
Will never recommend this to anyone. August 31, 2008

I hate this car seat.
First of all, the side protection pads are good but my daughter gets too hot in it because it wraps her head and face. Also the usage warning sign that was placed on the inside the side pad rubbed my 3 month old baby's face and she got a red rash and scar for a long time and it sure did look so painful!! The warning sign was sawed into the side protection cover but it got so loose and eventually we needed to remove it.
For washing, you have to remove the screws to remove the cover. Not too much work but it can be improved.
The cover on top does not come down all the way (like Graco's does) to block the sunlight so when it's bright outside, it's painful on my daughter's eyes.
Yes, it's the prettiest car seat out there but not the best car seat to me.
It can be improved in many ways.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND OTHER CAR SEAT for your babies.
Hope this review can save other moms, dads, and babies from the nightmares that we experienced!
 Wonderful quality and so easy to use. June 27, 2008

This is a very expensive carseat, but well worth the money. The straps are very easy to use. The height adjustment could not have been easier to use. I love how much of the carseat the sun shade covers. The handle is easy to raise and lower, the installation in cars is very easy. The fabric quality is wonderful, the padding is great. The wings were a little big for us at first, but we grew into them. I like that the weight and most importantly the length of the baby is larger than in many other carseats so that we will be able to use this longer. I don't find this heavier than other seats or harder to use. My only cons are the price and the shoulder strap pads. Our pads keep leaving pills from the velcro, but they are removable.
