Product Description
With one soul and two identities, Skate transforms from the perfect carriage to the perfect stroller: the pinnacle of style, function, safety and versatility.The Skate has one soul with two identities. The perfect carriage. The perfect stroller. The pinnacle of style and function, Peg Perego's innovative new Skate offers two-in-one versatility with quick and easy transformation from a carriage to a stroller. The bassinet provides 360-degree side protection and three height positions. While in stroller mode, the Skate offers a three-position height adjustment, as well as a unique "Tilt-in-Space" feature (offering three positions), a removable hinged bumper bar, and Peg Perego's signature five-point "Freedom of Movement" harness. Little travelers can either face the world ahead, or parents can reverse the seat for bonding time with baby. The aluminum frame closes with the seat attached, is easy to maneuver and is extremely compact. Two adapters allow parents to instantly attach a Peg Perego car seat directly to the frame. Made in Italy. Why stroll when you can Skate? Peg Perego Skate Adapts to You and Your Baby The flexibility of Skate's frame is truly amazing. Initially, it safely holds the convertible bassinet or an optional car seat. But later, the bassinet transforms into a stroller seat, held securely by the same frame. Three different height positions allow you the freedom to adjust your closeness to baby. And this versatile frame also allows the stroller seat to face you (for more bonding time!) or to reverse, allowing your child to "face the world ahead."

Great stroller... July 29, 2009
Mom2Lainy (Ann Arbor, MI)
I started using this stroller as a carriage when our daughter was about 5 days old and after I had a C-section, so it is a dream to push. I also like how easily it can be transformed from different positions and best of all our daughter still loves it (we have had it about a year).
Many people complain about the weight and size of this stroller, but I really don't find this to be a problem. The wheels and seat pop off really easily if necessary and the few extra pounds are not noticiable. I find it easier to lift out than a friends Graco, as the weight is more balanced on this stroller for me.
Here is my overall thought:
Pros:
Lots of adjustments... you can make this stroller comfortable for both of you, and FAST! I love the strap adjustments... quick and easy... and safe... no cheap plactic clip to break.
Carriage and stroller in one for the price of a nice stroller AND you can use it with a car seat as well (and air travel with the car seat was super easy, even by myself)
I love the bungee-style open basket... I can fit more under there and it is more accessable (this was great while traveling as well!!!)
Cons:
Assembly directions and directions for stroller were picture-based and I found them to be fairly useless. Just try things out..
Spot cleaning the fabric is quite convenient, but when a blow-out occurs and washing is necessary, it's a bit of a pain (I realize this is the same for most strollers, but I can still complain... maybe it will change?!)
Instead of the handle rotating, you have to rotate the seat... without the child in it and that can be cumbersome... so have it set the way you want it before you stroll.. oh and folding it with the seat, the seat has to be face-out... so I just have to always swap it for my little one.

All in all, if I had to do it again, I'd buy this stroller. I've been happy with it over the past year and it has held up well, even with some occasional stroller abuse (and gate checks!).
