Peg-Pérego Book
The Peg-Pérego Book is a basic model of the Book line, featuring a non-reversible seat. The 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. Another advantage of this stroller is the large shopping basket with easy load system, meaning that the rear part can be folded down.
The padded, ergonomic seat can be reclined flat, including the leg rest. The straps of the 5-point harness are uniquely designed in the form of suspenders, allowing a full range of motion for your child. They can be attached to the backrest as well. 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 hood is positioned quite low and doesn’t offer as much space over the child’s head; therefore, the Book is more suitable for smaller children. The seat comes equipped with the G-Matic system - the integrated attachments points that can be pulled out, enabling you to add the Primo Viaggio car seat without the need for adapters, thus create a travel system that is suitable from birth. If you choose the Classico version of the Book, all the accessories have to be purchased separately. However, the Completo version comes with a rain cover and an apron. Other accessories, such as the mosquito net, the cup holder, the changing bag Borsa, the seat liner/insert, the sibling board or the extension of the handlebar, are available separately.

Your questions about the Peg-Pérego Book
Hello,
do you know if the chassis of the Peg Perego BOOK PLUS is compatible with the upper parts of BOOK 51 ELITE MODULAR SL?
Thank you.
Hey, Eli (funny that we have the same name),
The Book line has the same attachment system, so the parts should be interchangeable, yes. I, however, cannot promise about the seat unit as it may be that the Book 51's may be a bit narrower and look funny. But all other parts should be possible to click on.
