Peg Perego took its first steps in 1949, when Giuseppe Pérego built a baby buggy for his son, Lucio. Family, friends and neighbors immediately appreciated Giuseppe’s fine design and craftsmanship and asked him to build them one also. Before long, Giuseppe was officially in the baby business. What started out as one family carriage has evolved into the world-renowned Peg Perego.

Lucio Pérego, who is now president of Peg Perego, attributes the company’s success to staying true to his family’s Italian heritage. “We continue to design and manufacture our baby products in Italy,” he said.

The Skate has “one soul with two identities,” and its adaptability is pure genius. With two-in-one versatility, the Skate quickly and easily transforms from a carriage to a stroller! The best part? It takes less than ten seconds! Simply pull and fasten two straps and adjust the tilt of the seat. Remove the carriage, and it acts as the perfect bassinet, too!

Skate’s bassinet provides 360-degree side protection and three height positions. Switch to stroller mode, and Skate offers a three-position seat adjustment, a removable hinged bumper bar and Peg Perego’s signature five-point “Freedom of Movement” harness. Little travelers can either face the world ahead, or parents can reverse the seat for more bonding time.

The aluminum chassis can be closed with the seat attached, and it’s easy to maneuver and extremely compact when folded. A comfortable new telescoping handle adjusts to several angles and heights. Two adapters allow you to instantly attach a matching Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP car seat directly to the frame.
