Reviewers say the Peg Perego A3 offers an ample storage basket and a large sun canopy. The seat is reversible and can be used as a bassinet, offering added versatility for infants. The 7.5-inch wheels and sturdy chassis make for a smooth ride, and a five-point harness system adds security. Owners say the A3 is easy to steer and maneuver. At 23 pounds, it's a bit heavy, but most owners say the larger wheels and large, easily accessible storage basket make up for the added weight in convenience. On the downside, the handle isn't adjustable, and a few reviewers say it's too short. There are two adult cupholders, but no child cupholders or snack tray. The Peg Perego A3 has a book-fold mechanism, meaning it folds down to the floor instead of standing upright, although when folded it can be stored in an upright position.

The Peg Perego A3 is a discontinued stroller with few reviews and little customer feedback. The most detailed review of the Peg Perego A3 is found on Strollers.Baby-Gaga.com, where editors mention parent feedback, although it's not clear where this feedback was obtained.
