4 Stars Safe Secure and Trustworthy
I like this car seat . But It is Heavier than any of the other 2 infant seats I have had .I will only probably carry for first 4 months . After that I will carry baby minus seat. Most of weight is however in base that stays in car. It is like 2 pds maybe heavier than a graco or evenflo .
But I do Like the shade . It goes up until 30 pds . And It is really comfy and cushiony. and it locks into a pliko .
I would recommend if you are safety concious and have extra money to spend. You will use it for 1 yr. I will use it around the home to .Or while I shower.
1 Star Painful
I bought this product in 2008 to fit my BOB stroller. It was more expensive than the top rated car seat but my sister-in-law recommended it so we got it. If it wasn’t so expensive I would have thrown it in a lake. For the first months of my daughters life she had cuts on her heels and we could not figure out why. It wasn’t until I was searching for a new car seat (due to other issues) that I read some reviews on this car seat which other parents were dealing with the same issue. The company did send me a replacement part for the piece that had been cutting her but at that point she was already to big for the car seat. Also the first month the car seat was in use the cover ripped and the chest buckle broke so the company had to send me new parts. Hopefully they have corrected these issues with there 2009 model. Their customer service was good but I will never purchase another one of their over priced defective products.
3 Stars IMO, overrated
I went on reviews when purchasing this as we have no local stores that sell Peg products. After i received it, I returned it a day later. I have a couple peg strollers that I am pretty happy with so I thought I’d get the car seat for compatibility. As far as pros go, the fabric on this is gorgeous and the overall appearance is very contemporary. The strap height is very easy to adjust and the strap length appears to have plenty of room for growth. It is a bit heavy but that is to be expected for a seat with the 30 lb weight limit. As for the cons, it’s supposedly highly rated for safety due to the extended side protectors around the head. These side impact protectors, that have a long flap that extends all the way down the back of the seat is not removable so my 3 month old son, who is in the 90th percentile for wt/ht, looked bunched up and uncomfortable. They would be great for when he is very young, but when he gets bigger and older, I don’t see him tolerating these big “wings” on either side of his head that look like horse blinders. Also, I can just see how hot and stuffy they would become this summer. They seem to take up so much room in the seat and would probably make things a bit cramped as he grew. The pictures of this seat make it appear there is a lot of room in between those “wings” but when I put my son it the seat, the sides of his head nearly touched them both. The back of the seat didn’t have much padding as it was only covered by that black flap (refer to the picture of this seat above) which isn’t that thick. I lifted it up to see if it was removable and realized that it was all there was between hard plastic and my son’s back. The buckle was a bit tricky to do but I think with practice, it would be manageable (as with our britax roundabout buckle). And these car seats do not even come with the winter boots anymore. I really wanted to like this car seat but couldn’t find anything about this seat that makes it at least $100 more than other car seats rated to 30 lbs. There are other safe car seats on the market that are much less expensive. I think after seeing this in person, I feel it’s just overpriced for what it offers and you may just be paying for the Peg name.
