Summary: clarification 2006-07-21
Comment: We have had a Venezia for 3 years. Great durability and excellent features.
We live in a small city in Italy where cobblestone is the norm, and we haven't had any problems with the wheels or driving. It is easy to fold and fits in the trunk of even the smallest cars--just heavy if you have to carry it on the bus.
As for the boot, please note that IT IS COMPLETELY DETACHABLE!!!! Other reviewers have criticized the stroller because the boot is supposedly not detachable, but we leave it in the garage all summer and put it back on in the winter. In order to detach it, unsnap all of the snaps, release the handle so that it is not locked into any position, and remove. Then relock the handle into the desired position. Simple as that.
We love this stroller, but remember that it is a large stroller. If you travel by bus often, get something smaller as backup or pick up a front baby carrier.

Summary: Great Stroller, not for rough roads 2006-07-07
Comment: I researched many many strollers when I was creating a baby registry, and Peg Perego Venezia came up as a winner because of the following key features:
1. Reversible handle. I didn't realize how important and convenient this is until I actually used it - to shield the child from wind/rain/sun and to enable the baby to face you when he's sleeping.
2. Reclines completely flat. Most strollers claim to be infant-friendly with a full recline, but few truly are. Most still have a small angle. But since I was looking for an infant-to-toddler stroller, I wanted the stroller to recline completely like a pram. This stroller does that.
3. HUGE basket. I do some shopping while I'm walking the baby to save time, and this basket is very convenient.
4. Boot. It's nice and cozy and is made of thick fabric.
5. Bar handle, as opposed to two handles for each hand. This makes steering with one hand much easier.
6. Maneuverability - it's quite responsive, turns well and fits well in the shopping isles of a store or supermarket.
7. Folds upright - I did not want a stroller that I'd have to put on the ground to fold, especially in a bad weather. But this stroller folds upright, and can stand on its own in the folded position. It has handles on each side to carry it.
8. Fits well into the trunk of my car. I tried it with Mazda Protege and Toyota Corolla, and had no problems.
This stroller has a few inconveniences:
1. The boot cannot be completely detached from the stroller, and when not in use, has to be stored in the basket. It's a pity, because it it will take quite a lot of space in the basket, and the large basket on this stroller is one of the nice features.
2. Yes, the cup holder is useless. I wish it would have some kind of a tray like the Gracos do. But the cup holder hooks are great for hanging small-medium sized bags on, increasing your shopping capacity.
In addition, there's one major disappointment - the wheels. They will get stuck on any bump/crack that's over 1/2 an inch, and will barely move on grass, gravel, snow, etc. I'm a city dweller, so I mostly walk on paved sidewalks and it's not that big of an issue. However, now that the winter's here, I'm finding strolling through the ice/snow very frustrating.
In conclusion, I love the features, not too bothered by the inconveniences, but very frustrated with the wheels. But everything is a compromise. I was looking for an infant-to-toddler stroller that's reasonably compact and comfortable for both mom and baby. This stroller almost has it. I would recommend it only if you live in a city, though. If you're planning to walk anywhere where there are unpaved/cracked/bumpy roads, don't get it.

Summary: A wonderful Stroller 2006-06-26
Comment: I researched strollers for a very long time and decided to buy both the Venezia and the Aria. The Venezia is a full size stroller, but I am able to get it in and out of my SUV rather easily. It folds up quite easily and is comfortable to push around the mall. My child is now ready to move from her Peg car seat, which is also very nice, and sit like a big girl in the stroller. The material is beautiful and the entire stroller is well made and very stylish. I also purchased the Aria as a light weight stroller for the grandma's to use.
I highly reccomend the Venezia and the Aria stroller. I would never think of purchasing anything else. Pegs last for years to come. Don't think twice about spending extra money for the Peg. Enjoy!

Summary: A very good stroller... 2006-06-25
Comment: We are very pleased with our peg venezia. In as much as it has a few shortcommings, (as discussed by the review about the boot) It does have many positive atributes which make the cost feel like value. We would really give it 4 1/2 stars but that was not an option... the only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star stroller is that it has plastic wheels.
Great Features: The stroller just looks great (ours isn't the newport but the Toffee color BabiesRus sells) It works great with the peg car seat (snaps right in) and is very easy to take in and out of the car for errands (it's not a heavy stroller and folds rather flat). It is very easy to manuver, as soon as you figure out how to lock the right set of wheels for which direction you have the stroller facing...it's like butter at the mall... Which brings me to the adjustable handle! Baby can face you or baby can face out to the world (none of the graco's have this and I was very happy to be able to face my baby) I noticed it's not as "supersized" as the graco's it's a rather compact and streamlined stroller. The pram feature is super, baby can lay down and nap in the stroller, comfy and cozy. The fabric is very soft, and an added bonus is it's not covered with silly cartoon characters. It's has a very sophisticated, clean look. This stroller comes with a convenient kiddie tray, so when baby is old enough you can just pop the tray in.
The shortcommings: This is not an all terrain stroller...if you can accept this and know this going into it you will be fine. The tires are not rubber, they are plastic. The stoller is great for walking around the neighborhood, sidewalks, city streets, malls, etc. The cupholder is worthless, though it does fit a small bottle of water, or soda or a baby bottle...
Overall, we are very pleased with our peg venezia!

Summary: Very good stroller 2006-06-23
Comment: I agree with the previous poster that it is unfortunate that the boot does not come off and has to be stored in the basket underneath. That aside, it is a very nice stroller. I bought this stroller almost a year ago for my son and it's been wonderful. It was great when he was an infant and I could use it like an old fashioned baby carriage with him fully reclined. Now that he's older (10 months) he can sit upright and has lots of room. The best thing about this stroller, in my opinion, is that it is full size with lots of features but it is not as bulky as some of the full size Graco strollers. I would highly recommend this stroller.
