Where to Buy
 

The Peg Perego Pliko Switch Classico is also available as the Peg Perego Pliko Switch Classico travel system, which includes a Peg Perego infant car seat, car seat base and diaper bag. The Peg Perego Switch Classico features a 4-position seat recline, including a nearly flat position suitable for newborns. Reviewers say that, unlike similar models, the Pliko Switch Classico can be folded easily without removing the seat. Height-adjustable, telescoping handles make pushing this stroller comfortable for parents of all heights.

The seat is also reversible, so your child can face toward you or outwards, although some reviews say switching the position of the seat is a pain. The Switch Classico has a wide wheel base, so it won't fit through some tight spaces, and some owners complain that steering is cumbersome. In addition, we found several complaints that the wheels become squeaky after just a few months of use. The Peg Perego Pliko Switch Classico comes in four colors, including Tropical (orange), Kiwi (green), Java (brown) and Gala (grey/black).

We found few reviews covering this specific Peg Perego model, but "Baby Bargains" does cover the brand in depth in its 2010 edition. We also found a detailed review on StrollerLife.com, where editors rate strollers on a variety of criteria, such as safety, mobility and durability. Amazon.com and ToysRUs.com each have a handful of owner-written reviews, which are useful for determining the Pliko Switch Classico's durability under real-world conditions.

More than a dozen owners contribute to the Pliko Switch Classico's average rating of 3.1 stars (out of a possible 5). Many of the reviews are thorough, offering details on assembly, use, features and functionality. Opinions are mixed on the usefulness of the cargo pod; some think it's a handy innovation, while others would prefer a standard open storage basket.

Just over 10 owners weigh in with feedback on the Pliko Switch Classico, which has an overall average rating of 3.4 stars out of 5. Parents say the Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 car seat snaps easily in and out of this stroller, but there are several complaints of squeaky wheels and difficult steering after just a few months of use.
