After much research and contemplation about buying a stroller that could accommodate a nearly 5 year old, I bought the Peg Perego Pliko 3 stroller. It is perfect for a 2 year old and 4-5 year old.
Since we plan to walk alot around New Haven, I wanted a stroller that WBoy, almost 5, could stand on if he got tired walking. But I didn’t want to be saddled with a 2-er or Sit n Stand for the 80% of the time I am alone with WGirl.
Nor did I want to have a step thing hanging off the back of a stroller. Two reasons for that:
- Cost: Those things cost $65-80. Add that to even a used stroller and you are looking at $150+
- Comfort: They are a pain to take on and off so I would be hampered by it when out with just WGirl.
Then I stumbled upon Peg Perego’s Pliko P3. It has the step for WBoy built into a great, light, well-thought out stroller for WGirl. It collapses easily, handles smoothly, has adjustable handles for taller people and a HUGE sunshade. It feels much sturdier than other umbrella type strollers I have tried. Very European.
WBoy loves the ride-on feature and hasn’t asked to sit. WGirl too seems to like her new wheels. I think, it would be great for travel or for city living with slightly older kids.
Tip: I got the 2008 from Albee Baby in Mocha for $209.00. The new 2010 ones range from $329-379. Not sure about new features but I can’t think of anything missing on this one.
