The Peg-Perego Si is getting good reviews so far in the borderline lightweight stroller category. Despite the company's claim that it's 13 pounds, expert reviewers say it actually weighs in at closer to 17 pounds (the manufacturer estimate is without the wheels). Owners say that's still light enough to be easily portable, and most say they're happy with the weight-to-features balance. Parents are especially enthusiastic about the extendable handlebars, the one-hand fold and the near-flat recline. The Peg-Perego Si competes head-on with Maclaren's stroller line-up including the bare-bones Volo (*Est. $130) and the fully-reclining Techno XT (*Est. $300). The Techno XT weighs about 15 pounds.

Several professional reviewers have already noticed the Peg-Perego Si. "Baby Bargains" compares it with other contenders in the lightweight 'second stroller' category, and BabyGizmo.com's Holly Schultz devotes a lengthy video review to a detailed analysis of its features. The Si is too new to have generated much user review volume, but we found a few entries at Amazon.com, Epinions.com and ToysRUs.com.

This detailed video review of the Peg Perego Si is posted on YouTube.com and Amazon.com as well as on BabyGizmo.com's own website. There's plenty of detail here, with demonstrations of all the Peg-Perego umbrella stroller's functions and features. There's also a surprising amount of balance: Holly Schultz isn't shy about calling Peg-Perego out for its less-than-accurate weight specifications.
