Features of Peg Perego Car Seats
The purpose of this article is to answer the popular question of whether Peg Perego car seats are suitable for everyday use. To look at this properly, we think it’s essential to highlight the various features of these travel accessories as this highlights what considerations have been made.
Peg Perego offers a broad selection of car seats, making them ideal for supporting children as they grow and transition to different styles. To ensure all phases of growth are accounted for, a wide selection of seats is available. This ranges from the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 360 Group 0+/1 i-Size Car Seat, which is suitable from birth to around four years of age, to the Peg Perego Viaggio Shuttle Booster Seat, which is ideal for children up to the maximum age of when a seat is legally required.
Throughout the product range are a selection of innovative features, which are as follows:
Adjustable Positions
A key consideration that parents must make when choosing an everyday car seat is how it can be fitted in terms of position. In the UK, it’s a legal requirement that all children are rear facing until 15 months of age³ meaning any car seat that doesn’t meet this configuration is not suitable for daily use.
Adjustable positions and orientations are included throughout the Peg Perego car seat collection, allowing parents to select a model that suits their child’s current phase of growth. Not only are multiple positions available, but some seats even include 360 rotation which makes it even easier to transition between both rear and forward facing. Additionally, extended rear-facing is also available from some products meaning children up to the age of 4 can be seated in reverse to improve safety for even longer.
Finally, the adjustable positions and seat styles mean that they are versatile in how they are used, proving ideal for everything from cars to air travel (Always check airline regulations before travelling).
ISOFIX Connectors
Another feature available across the car seat collections is ISOFIX installation. While this is not a legally required fitting method in the UK, it offers parents complete peace of mind that seats are safe to use on a daily basis. Available to purchase are both ISOFIX bases and i-Size solutions to ensure seats can be correctly fitted in a range of vehicles. These bases are simple to install, extremely durable and safety tested.
Safety Protection
Another important set of features to highlight from the Peg Perego collection of seats are the safety considerations. This includes 3-point harnesses, side impact protection cushions, shock absorbing pads and kinetic pods to move forces away from the tiny passenger.
These features are not only safety tested in line with official regulations but also ensure that both safety and comfort can be guaranteed for every journey. These features also ensure that recommended time frames for how long a baby can be placed in a car seat can be adhered to, allowing parents to relax knowing their children are being properly cared for at all times.
Comfort Ensured
If you have ever travelled with a child, you know that keeping them comfortable during long car journeys relies on the seat and accessories you select. As we touched upon, the safety features included throughout the products are known for improving comfort, but there are also some additional design choices that enhance this even further.
Features such as cushioned shoulder pads, breathable mesh for ventilation and hoods to provide UPF 50+ all ensure that a child can travel comfortably no matter the external conditions. Whether you are looking to keep a child warm on chilly days or ensure they are cool during the warmer months, these car seats offer the perfect solution for year-round comfort.

Not only is safety and comfort ensured, but these seats are also lightweight to transport around, compatible with a range of travel systems and offer timeless designs. This means you can easily source anything from an infant car seat to an all-stages model when you explore the collection.

Methods to Ensure Ongoing Safety if Using a Peg Perego Car Seat Everyday
As with any car seat, parents must always ensure some essential checks have taken place to allow safety features to work as intended. Peg Perego products are no exception to this rule, which is why we recommend the following:
- Always keep Peg Perego car seats clean and free from debris, as this allows all safety features to work uninterrupted. Also, by taking the time to clean and check the car seat regularly, parents can see if any damage has occurred, which could lead to incorrect performance.
- Be sure to check the safety features, such as connection to the base, before every journey. If seats are being moved around it could mean that the intended position is not always achieved.
- As children grow, car seats should also be adjusted to suit their current height and weight. This means adjusting areas such as harnesses and orientation of seating to ensure complete protection is always being offered.
- Be sure that any vehicle is compatible with ISOFIX and/or i-Size fitting to ensure the seat can be correctly installed. If not available, you should look for a more fitting and suitable car seat for your car to eliminate this issue.
- Remove any loose objects from the seat before travel such as spare clothing or toys. This can interfere with the safety features.
- Ideally, car seats should be placed in the middle of the back seat for ultimate protection. Also ensure that any airbags are not turned on to ensure that the seat is not pushed out of place.
- Lastly, always ensure any thick outer layers of clothing are removed before a child travels.
