The Peg-Perego Si is getting good reviews so far in the borderline lightweight stroller category. Despite the company's claim that it is 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 lineup including the bare-bones Volo (*Est. $125) and the fully reclining Techno XT (*Est. $305). 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.

Authors Denise and Alan Fields include a short review of the Peg-Perego Si in their section on second strollers. There's also a good discussion of the Peg-Perego brand in general, based on performance history and owner feedback.
Review: Strollers, Denise and Alan Fields, Eighth edition
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.

The Stroller Queen -- otherwise known as veteran stroller reviewer Janet McLaughlin -- doesn't go into any negatives in this glowing review of the Peg-Perego Si, but she does do a good job of pointing out its strengths: near-flat recline, extendable leg rests, large storage basket and high-quality wheels.

6. ToysRUs.com
ToysRUs.com had only a few reviews of the Peg-Perego Si umbrella stroller when we last visited, and they are divided among the various colors. Most are overwhelmingly positive, but one reviewer does complain about wobbly wheels and another says the Peg-Perego Si doesn't seem durable.
