Peg-Perego Venezia Review

What the reviewers like:
The Peg-Perego Venezia stroller's harness system and comfortable fabric (which is both removable and washable) are high points in reviews. The Venezia stroller's reversible handle allows the baby to face you, and its fully reclining seat is appropriate for newborns.

What the reviewers don’t like:
Several user reports complain of durability issues. In one review, nearly ten percent of parents reported breakdowns. The Peg-Perego Venezia's 18-pound weight is heavier than some others. Folding requires two hands, and even when folded, the Venezia is bulky. Most owners report that the Peg-Perego Venezia stroller works best on smooth surfaces.
