Another ? regarding the Peg Perego Pliko P3....

[disneygirl1977k]

Hey guys,
Just got home from Babies r us and I am sooooo in love with this stroller, my DS loved it and me and my DH fell in love with it.....the only question I have after playing around with it is......After folding it up do you just push it around like that to get on and off of buses, or is there a carrying strap or something that we missed???? It is lightweight and it pushed like a dream, a little bulkier than the Maclarens, however, it had a lot more room and I really liked how plush the seating was, the only issue is after folding it up, does it stay folded up without coming undone while toting it around (on and off buses)????? Thanks guys.

It hoes have a handle on the side to easily carry it in the folded up position. And yes, it does stay folded up. It is the best stroller I've ever had!!!

I have the "older" version of the Pliko P3 - it's actually the "martinelli" version of the Pliko. I LOVE this stroller - my DD has used it for 4 years and now my 18 month old DS is in it. It travels well (been on numerous plane rides!) and folds easily. It does stand nicely by itself when you lock the wheels. It does have a carrying handle - ours just broke off last week (again, after 5 years of use, I expect that!).

That said, there have been times when my DH (who doesn't very often fold the stroller 'cause he doesn't "get it") forgets to carry the folded stroller by the carrying handle that is located on the SIDE. Or to carry it by the pull handle you use to fold it up that's in BACK of the seat. He often times uses the HANDLES to carry it, which - if you use the two handles at once - will cause it to come unlatched/unfolded (as if you were trying to open it up to use it).

Sounds silly I know but figured I'd pass it along as an FYI.

Enjoy the stroller!

there isn't a carry strap on the P3 but there are the 2 handles that it can be carried from (one on the side, the other is the one you pull up to close the stroller). If you lock the front wheels you can pull by that middle handle and roll the stroller behind you, I prefer that to carrying it when I can.

Yes, it is bigger/heavier than most Maclarens, but you get the plusher seat and that wonderful toddler step.

Another great thing about the P3 is it can stand up on its own. Just turn the front wheels in once its closed and voila, no more propping the stroller against walls, etc. Great for inside the hotel room.

Have I mentioned how much I love my P3????
