Peg-Pérego Book 51 Elite
The Peg-Pérego Book 51 Elite is a modular stroller system consisting of the Elite seat and the Elite carrycot, combined with the Book 51 chassis. The name Elite is derived from the name of the carrycot and it is also corresponding with the style of the fabrics on both the carrycot and the seat. The Navetta Elite is an elegant carrycot that can also be used in the car instead of a Group 0+ car seat. The Book 51 Elite is also available as a part of the modular stroller system Pop Up with the foldable Navetta Pop Up carrycot and the XL with the popular carrycot/car seat hybrid Navetta XL.
The lightweight aluminum chassis is equipped with a suspension system as well as a shaped handlebar. Thanks to the wheels with suspension and 12 ball bearings, the steering is by 30% easier compared to similar strollers. The stroller can be folded one-handedly the way a book does, hence the name. Compared to the basic Book Plus chassis, the 51 chassis is only 51 cm wide. It also features a front wheel locking mechanism located on the side, so you don’t need to bend to do so. Another advantage of this stroller is the large shopping basket with easy load system, meaning that the rear part can be folded down.
The Peg-Pérego Book 51 Elite features elegant, haute couture fabrics either in denim, melange or as the designer Manri collection. The Pop Up seat can be reclined flat, including the leg rest. The hood features a strap for attaching a favorite toy. It is quite short in its basic form, but it can be extended by opening another panel, and can also be used as a follow-the-sun shield. The Peg-Pérego Book 51 Elite set is only available as the 3in1 stroller system; however, the individual components of the stroller system are also sold separately.

Parent reviews of the Peg-Pérego Book 51 Elite
Your questions about the Peg-Pérego Book 51 Elite
Does this stroller convert into a double stroller like the Ypsi does?
Hey, Samantha,
No, this stroller cannot be converted from single to double, the frame gets much too loose over time anyway - it would not sustain the strain.
How can I take the basket off of the stroller?
Hello there!
I will suggest consulting this video, I think that might clarify the removing of the basket of the Peg-Pérego Book series strollers.
