Graco Snugride or Peg Perego Viaggio
Help me choose an infant carrier!!! I'm getting the bugaboo and those are the only two carseats that are compatible.
Originally I ordered the peg perego but I'm reading such great reviews on the snugride and a few not so great reviews on the perego that I may switch. Just comparing the quality of the two, I think the perego seems like a better seat, but I'm starting to doubt my own judgment. Any advice/experience will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

I went with the snugride based on the reviews and recommendations from family/friends.
Have you checked each one out in person? Was there a difference in weight or ease of use? That would help me decide. Good Luck

I have a bugaboo frog and I am registered for the Graco snugride. It got really good reviews plus I also have a snap and go for my sister so if I don't feel like using the bugaboo frame I can use the snap 'n go. I like having options

Yes, the snugride is 3 pounds lighter and easier to use. The peg perego seems to have more padding and head padding, but I'm not sure if it is necessary.

Re: Graco Snugride or Peg Perego Viaggio
I had the Peg and if it wasn't that my kids were 15 months apart I would have bought a snugride. I HATED the Peg. You couldn't clean the fabric at all and the material was terrible. My kids were always sweating in it. I thought it was just me but my SIL who had her DS in 2007 got one and she also hated it.
I would get the Graco or the Maxi- Cosi.

Re: Graco Snugride or Peg Perego Viaggio
Get the snugride! I almost went with the Peg Perego but decided it was just too heavy and didn't get good reviews. I have a Graco safe seat which is about 2-3 pounds heavier then the snugride and about 1lb lighter then the Peg Perego. All I can say is that seat is soo heavy and bulky. I wish I would of went with the snugride instead.

We registered for a Snugride after reading many good reviews online & even in Baby Bargains. Plus all our family/friends have used them with no complaints.

I had the perego with my DS... It was a good seat, but really heavy. I'm not using it with #2, I'm going with the snugride.

Re: Graco Snugride or Peg Perego Viaggio
We went with the snugride and got the snap and go portion for it, I heard great reviews. But we also bought the Peg Perego Stroller for our good stroller.

Re: Graco Snugride or Peg Perego Viaggio
I have the Peg. My only complaint is that it is really heavy. It was the only car seat I could find that had the SIP, and that was important to me. If there is a lighter, safe car seat with SIP, I would get that one.

it's got good safety ratings and lots of padding. it is a little heavy (not as heavy as I expected though, from reviews like this) but I could use some work on my biceps anyway

Re: Graco Snugride or Peg Perego Viaggio
I had both and hands down the Graco Snugride was much better. The weight & the handle contour make the Snugride much easier to manuver. As far as the Viaggio holding a bigger baby. It just got too heavy for me to carry so I switched out at about 6.5-7 months to my convertible. The same time I switched from my Snugride with my first child
ETA: I broke my Snugride when my 2nd was 4 months old so I borrowed my friends PP to get me through and couldn't wait to give it back....
