What’s new from Peg Perego? Boosters Boosters Boosters!
Viaggio Flex Highback Booster
Peg will be introducing a new highback FOLDING booster called the Viaggio Flex. It has–wait for it–no armrests! Great for those 3-across situations and tight installations where it’s hard to get your hand, or your child’s hand, down in to buckle. They’re guessing the weight limit might be 40-100 lbs, but everything is preliminary at this point. The Viaggio Flex adjusts in height in 2 steps: at the head rest and at the torso (dual height adjustment zones). ETA: May 2016 $299 Rejoice Canada! You’ll see this booster too.
Shuttle Backless Booster
The Shuttle backless booster goes from 40-100 lbs. and has rigid LATCH. It has a seat pan of EPS foam for the child to sit on, plus another layer of comfort cushioning–just as you’d expect from Peg. There’s a retractable shoulder belt guide using a standard harness release to extend it (a-lock, for those in-the-know), so it won’t be flopping in the way when you carry it. We measured it at 15″ deep and 16″ wide. Peg is expecting a May 2016 release date with at $99. Canada, Peg Perego loves you again 🙂 .
New Primo Viaggio convertible fashions: Camo and Techo Viaggio (evidently camo is big in Europe—who knew?!!)
Is that highback really only 18-19″ tall?
Well now .. I hope they bring both of the new boosters to Europe, too. Cause this far their Euro seats are meh to say the least.
Alleluia!!! This might solve my 3 across! Do you have the high back measurements? Mostly the width of the base?
No, unfortunately – we didn’t have time to measure everything.
Nice to see another skinny booster coming to market!
