Peg-Pérego Aria
The Peg-Pérego Aria is a simple, ultra-lightweight stroller with a huge shopping basket. Four double wheels provide the Aria with better stability. The stroller is suitable for less demanding urban surfaces, where you can fully appreciate Aria’s easy maneuverability. When folded, the telescopic handlebar enables the stroller to stand independently, so it will not take up much storage space. It also allows you to fold the stroller without the risk of getting the fabric dirty.
The non-reversible seat’s backrest is reclinable, but it only offers a semi-reclined position. The stroller is therefore suitable for older children who are able to sit independently. The top parts of the 5-point harness are uniquely designed in the form of suspenders, which allows your child full range of motion while holding it securely in the seat. A strap for a favorite toy can be found on the short sun hood. The seat features Ganciomatic system consisting of integrated attachment points that can be pushed out, enabling you to add the Primo Viaggio car seat without the need for any additional adapters. With it, you can create a travel system suitable from birth. Older models, such as the Aria OH (the name derived from the One-Handed push) can be recognized by the plastic clasps on both sides of the hood. In 2016, the newer model Aria Shopper replaced the Aria.

Parent reviews of the Peg-Pérego Aria
- Pleasant steering
- Small for the car
- Compact
- The basket was too low and rubbed on the floor at times
The buggy was excellent, but the shopping basket was too low and after filling it was rubbing off on all curbs. Otherwise light and nice.
