Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 Achieves NHTSA Four-Star Ease of Use Rating

Peg Perego has once again been recognized for their tradition of making fashionable, functional products while also achieving the highest level of safety and protection for baby. In addition to exceeding the most stringent safety standards in the world, the Italian-based company’s Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 car seat is also easy to install and use.

This is evidenced by the high marks the Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 received from the new NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Association) five star rating system on car seat ease-of-use. The new system evaluates car seats in four categories: securing the child, vehicle installation features, labeling and instructions (five stars representing the highest grade and one star signifying the lowest).

The Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 received four stars in ease-of-use, which is the highest rating achieved by any infant car seat. All seats rated by NHTSA meet Federal Safety Standards & strict crash performance standards. While all rated seats are safe, they do differ in their ease of use in the four, newly-rated categories.

Peg Perego has a long history of developing and manufacturing products that surpass safety standards. In fact, the Primo Viaggio was recently redesigned with improved Side Impact Protection (SIP) to offer additional safeguards for baby’s head and body. The frame was also strengthened for added safety.

Designed for transporting a baby or child weighing five to thirty pounds or up to thirty inches long, the Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 includes a removable plush pad for newborns and exclusive Confort-Dry™ microfiber upholstery that is breathable and ultra-soft on baby’s skin. The Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 instantly attaches to any Peg Perego stroller and conveniently features one-hand unlatching from stroller, chassis or car seat base.

NHTSA data indicates that seven out of 10 child safety seats are either the wrong size for the child or seriously misused, reducing their effectiveness in a crash. When properly used, child restraint systems reduce fatal injuries by 71% for infants and 54% for toddlers in passenger cars. In light trucks, injuries were reduced by 58% for infants and 59% for toddlers.

For the safety of your baby, Peg Perego urges parents to use only NHTSA-approved car seats and to read instructions carefully. For more information on Peg Perego’s Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 car seat, please visit http://primoviaggio.pegperegousa.com/.
