Great stoller

This stoller is great, especially if you travel by car a lot. We go away a lot for weekend trips and the compact size of this stroller folded up saves a lot of space in the back of the minivan. It's also great if you go shopping and don't want to take the stroller out of the car/minivan. It is light weight and easy to manuver. The 5 pt. harness is a lifesaver, no matter how crazy my 2 yr. old gets, he stays strapped in. It is very expensive, but it's worth it.
Beautiful Ride

We bought this stroller after returning our GRACO Delancy Metrolite system. We had no intention of buying the expensive Peg Perego system, but gave in after being dissatisfied with the quality of the GRACO. This stroller is light and easy to use. It opens and closes simply and fits well in both the trunk of our car and the back of our SUV. We have three road trips planned this year and are happy we'll be able to take the Peg Perego, instead of an umbrella-type stroller. It closes that compactly, there's no need to have a back-up stroller for travel.

br /We looked at Britax and Chicco but were taken with the Italian design, beautiful fabric, user-friendly convenience of this stroller. I highly recommend this stoller (and Primo Viaggio infant seat).

I researched the dozens of strollers out there when getting my registry ready and decided on this one. My baby is now 3 months old and I have to say that it has been one of the best gifts I got. The stroller is very lightweight and extremely easy to move around, fold up, and carry. I have the matching Peg Perego SIP infant carrier and it's a great match...she just clicks right in, not problem, no fuss. The basket on the bottom is big enough to fit my diaper bag. I do have to admit access is not the easiest thing but it's not rocket science either. All of the other aspects of this great stroller and infant seat combo more than compensates for this. I was looking for a travel system that was lightweight, easy to take in and out of the car, and shopping and travel friendly. I am VERY satisfied.

I just bought this stroller for my 4th child. He is 7 weeks old and I wanted a stroller that the car seat would fit in, but still be light weight. I LOVE this stroller. I didn't have any problems locking the car seat into it. It just locks right in. Also, I can actually hoist the stroller up in my SUV. It doesn't take up near the amount of room that my other stroller did. Very manuverable. I took it into a small shop and had no problems. It also has a stand on the back for my 2 year old after the baby is sitting up. I just wish they made a double stroller like this one where you can use the car seat. You won't be disappointed with this stroller. I have had a TON of strollers and like this one the best.

We purchased this stroller a month ago and already it is easily one of the better purchases I have made. At one year old our daughter is securely and safely snuggled in. The five point harness is key. I had a Graco before that only had a lap belt and I was always concerned that she would flop over. The Pliko P3's agility is wonderful; its quick smooth ride in any of the five seat positions is great. I especially like how light weight and sturdy it is. I've had no trouble with its assembly either. I love the padded seat and back and the tray is the perfect size for smaller toys, snacks and juice. There appears to be enough room for her to grow too. I have found that it is a great stroller for multiple in and out of the car excursions and traveling.
Smaller than Graco but fewer features

We purchased an older model of this stroller because my husband hated our Graco Quattro Tour and its large size. If you are in the market, a word to the wise - hold out if you can for when the current models are clearanced to allow for new colors next year - same features, better price! Plusses of this stroller - it is lighter and narrower than the Graco. Also the sunshade can be stretched all the way to the snack tray so you truly can shade your child from the sun (the Graco's only goes overhead). However: While folding takes up less net space, it is longer - it must be diagonal in my Jeep trunk and is too long for trunk-to-backseat. I used to be able to have my Graco all the way to one side and carry a lot of cargo, but now I have to bury my stroller if I need to do it. Also as many have said, the storage basket is hard to access...what were the designers thinking? In the next update I'd love some accessible storage for things like change, napkins, etc. at hand-level like the Graco's had. The cupholder is horrible, it won't hold a cell phone or keys without the danger of them slipping through. Again not sure what they were thinking.
br /
br /Overall I would love to merge the features of the Graco with the lightness and maneuverability of the Peg Perego.

good stroller but not perfect

Obviously no stroller is going to be perfect. I bought this stroller because my sister had the same one and she said it was easy to manuever while shopping. It doesn't have the large, bulky wheels that the Graco strollers have. And she was right, this stroller is smaller than the Gracos and does manuever very well. If that's your top priority for a stroller, then buy this stroller. However, for some reason, we had problems getting the infant carrier to snap in place. My husband and I have both fought with it many times and it was frustrating. The stroller cannot be folded with one hand but isn't that difficult to fold or unfold. I agree with other reviews that say that the cup holder is crappy. It's not very deep and doesn't fit some cups. I've spilled a lot of drinks because of the bad cup holder. Also, the basket is small and very hard to access. I've found myself just using the stroller handles for my diaper bag and shopping bags. But like I said, if you're looking for a stroller that isn't so huge, this is a good stroller.
Worth the money!

After heavily researching strollers I decided on the pliko. This is my third child and I have had many gracos, evenflos and even peg peregos but this one is great! I love the way it pushes and the adjustable handlebars. I took it out for a walk last night and it steered so easy that my other kids could do it. It has a large hood which is great for a sunny day (that is why I picked this over the aria). It is easy to transport, lightweight and the child tray is a must have for a little one.
br /There are a few things I don't like about it-the cup holder is worthless. Especially in this day of starbucks-you could never put a hot drink in there. Also, the basket is pretty inaccessible from the back. You have to access it from the front. Also, I tried the peg perego car seat and was very disappointed. It is big, heavy and hard to get into the stroller. I ended up getting a graco and using the universal strap and it is much easier but not as nice looking.
br /Overall, I would highly recommend this stroller.

Well, we first used a graco travel system stroller which was a bargain. And frankly, I don't know why they get such a bad wrap: it was solid, appealing and user friendly-with a couple design issues. After using it for a while we realized we wanted something lighter and more compact (plus my wife was never keen on the print). So, knowing what we wanted we searched for that perfect stroller. We want the best for our little one, but the Bugaboo seemed over priced and overly cumbersome. So we finally found the Pliko 3 and Zippy strollers. They are very similar, so this was a toss-up. We were leaning towards the Inglesia Zippy stroller because it seemed to fold easier. But, our final decision was the Pliko 3 in toffee color-it's sharp and the nuetral colors don't distract from all the time she spends dressing up our little focul point. Before buying it, we learned the trick to make it close more easily, and we also already have the Peg Perego car seat which snaps right in the stroller (didn't fit as well in the other stroller). So, now that I've had time to study it and walk with it I think it was a good choice. The adjustable height on the grips makes us both happy. Not much to complain about. You can hang a diaper bag from loops under the handles (they make one specifically for it). The stroller performs as well as they advertise, so I won't go into the pros. My only wish is that it had more enclosures or accessories for small items like keys, and phones. There's a jeep stoller that has speakers and is designed to work with and mp3 player. Now that is cool! I'll have to figure out how to make that work on our stroller. I also wish someone came out with...never mind. Maybe I'll do it myself and make millions.
So Far So Good!

I have this stroller in the mint color. We've had it for alittle over a week now. I originally wanted a maclaren but thought it would not be enough support for my 4 month old. The P3 looked comfortable and is a nice looking stroller. So far I like the stroller but the best judge is my baby boy. The first time I sat him in it he hated it, I felt horrible I thought I made the wrong choice, but as the days went by he liked it more and more. I guess the change from a car seat travel system to a spacious stroller took some getting used to. It's not as light weight as I would have liked it to be but for the size of the stroller itself it closes up pretty compact. The wheels started to squeak alittle, I used WD40 and that did the trick. The ride is nice and smooth and the stroller is easy to manover even with one hand. Closing it was alittle of a challenge until I got the hang of it, closing it with one hand it not easy but not impossible. I guess there isn't the perfect stroller out there the important thing is that your baby is safe and comfortable. I feel that with the P3. When he's older and stronger I will get something lighter and compact.
great but..

Love the stroller. It is lightweight and easy to use. The problem is with the car seat! Attaching the car seat to the stroller is impossible!! And it takes forever!!! It does not easily hook in and when you are by yourself with a baby and need to go somewhere fighting with a car seat and stroller is the last thing you want to do!
br /If you are just buying to use the stroller...go for it! But if you want to use your stroller with the car seat, this is not the stroller for you!

Love it for my baby that is starting to sit up. If you have a newborn and want to use a carrier, get a Graco w/ the snap and go or something compact, like the Graco Mosaic travel system- if you do the Mosaic travel system the cost is the same as a Peg-Perego infant carrier and you get an extra stroller for a "just-in-case". When baby is too big for the infant carrier splurge and get this! So easy to put together! It reclines really well and has the foot thingy that goes up so baby doesn't slide. The cup holder is awful and the basket is a nice size but difficult to access but I use a messenger-style diaper bag from Skip Hop (love!) so that isn't an issue for me. I am really happy with this stroller and am thinking of also getting the matching diaper bag that clips directly onto the stroller.
Before you Buy a Pliko -- Look at a KidCo

I was a tried-and-true Peg Perego fan with my first child, who used her Pliko until she was 4. The stroller was so used and abused that it literally "fell apart" in the middle of the National Mall in Washington DC. I continued my "brand loyalty" and bought another Pliko the day after my 2nd child was born. However, my son was MUCH larger than my daughter, and by the age of 1 1/2, the seat cover had already ripped to shreds due to his weight. I bought a replacement seat cover ($50), however, it only lasted a year. Plus, he has such broad shoulders that he no could no longer fit comfortably in it.
br /
br /My son is now 2 1/2 and 35 pounds, and because our family travels extensively and abuses the heck out of our strollers, I started researching strollers that could accommodate heavier and larger children. I only found two -- the KidCo Lifestyle stroller and the MacLaren. The MacLaren was, in my opinion, a joke because all of their models that were less than $200 had very limited functionality. Since my son enjoys sitting erect and leaning on the bar towards the front of the stroller rather than laying back, none of the MacLarens really worked for me. So I got the Kidco...
br /
br /OH MY GOSH! If I had only found this thing sooner. It is of much better quality at half the price. My large son has SOOOOOO much more room in the Kidco for his broad shoulders than he did in the very narrow Pliko, plus it is much more maneuverable. The basket is at least twice the size and a lot studier than the Pliko. The stroller is much easier to fold and open, and it even included a free boot and rain cover. AND, BEST OF ALL, IT IS EVEN LIGHTER THAN THE PLIKO. The only negative I have found is that it doesn't stand upright by itself in the closed position, so I have to actually lean it up against the wall if leaving it at the front of a restaurant or store. And at only $140, this was truly my buy of the year.
br /
br /Unfortunately, I think Kidco has discontinued their stroller production (they are best know for their child safety products), but you can still find this stroller on clearance at Babies R Us, other baby stores or on ebay. I cannot say enough good things about it. If you like the functionality and quality of a Pliko and are not a brand-snob, you really should consider the KidCo.

Even though we still have a few months before it will be used, I already love my Pliko P3. After doing a lot of comparison shopping and looking at the Graco, we decided to get something that is light and easy to use is well worth it. We also purchased the Primo Viaggio SIP infant seat, which is also well worth the money-since talking with a coworker, his son would still fit in the Peg infant seat and not in the Graco. People have said it is hard to latch the car seat on may not have the latches in the proper position, because it is very easy after the first time. I am hoping our little guy will like it as much as we do!

AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND DOING TRIAL RUNS IN BABIES R US OF STROLLERS, I DECIDED TO PURCHASE THE PLIKO P3. WE LOVE THE STROLLER AND THE EASE AT WHICH IT FOLDS UP. MY HUSBAND LOVES THE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT ON THE HANDLES. THE STROLLER STEERS WITH EASE AND IS EASY TO MANAGE WITH A BABY ON THE HIP. I WISH THE STORAGE WAS LARGER OR THE BARS DIDN'T GO ACROSS THE STORAGE AREA. A PIECE OF THE HOOD CAME OFF THE SECOND DAY BUT AFTER CALLING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY SENT ME A REPLACEMENT HOOD 4 DAYS LATER. I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE THIS STROLLER BUT AM ONLY GIVING IT FOUR STARS BASED ON THE STORAGE AREA. ONCE YOU GET THE PECULIARS FIGURED OUT, YOU'LL LOVE THE STROLLER

I have had several brands of strollers and this is one of the worst. The storage is accessed from the front which is blocked by my son's feet and it is ridiculously small--I cannot even fit my diaper bag. It is really hard to fold up and the lock which is supposed to hold the stroller together so that it can be lifted broke after a few weeks and now when I lift the stroller into my car it starts to spring open. The front piece is so awkward--the little button that needs to be pressed to spring it open is so small and hard to find my husband cannot even operate it. Forget about the so called drink holder--it falls off every time the stroller is closed and it is extremely unstable when it is attached. All in all this stroller is junk--I think a lot of people buy Peg Perego because they think it is a status thing or something but the quality is not there--also, when I was in Italy Peg Perego was everywhere--it is literally the Graco of Italy--nothing special there and nothing special here. I had heard this from others and it is true--save your money.

I have the toffee color and it is gorgeous. The color is really a greyish silver tan with black, cream and a tiny bit of red detail. The matching car seat was very expensive ($230 - yikes) but my husband loves that it matches the stroller and it has the Side Impact Protection. The stroller handles very well. I love how easy it is to fold up and store in the back of my SUV. My only complaint is that the hood doesn't cover enough and sometimes it does take a little while to attach the car seat. By the way, the car seat is VERY heavy by itself and I don't recommend hauling it around very much without attaching it to the stroller.

This stroller was the biggest waste of money. Crappy cup holder, no wear to put your keys. The basket has no access and is not even big enough for a diaper bag. It is not a one hand folding stroller, it takes 3! The positives... It looks good and thats about it. I had to get over that and think more practical. I bought Graco instead. It's not nearly as actractive but I would much rather have something functunal.
