The Peg Pérego® Pop Up Book must have been built to fit small Italian cars. This pram folds up so well it can fit in the back of the smallest car imaginable.
The Book Pop Up is an improved version of Peg Pérego’s® Book Plus. It was named after its unique features and ability to fold up like a book, even with the bassinet attached to the frame. This is one of the only prams we have come across that has this feature. The bassinet folds flat, and with a simple gesture “pops up” to full size. Given how little space it takes up once folded, this pram may be exceptional for someone who lives in a small urban space.
We love that it comes with a big canopy, which opens in the back to reveal a large mesh window allowing for plenty of air to pass through. The canopy looks small, but can be extended with two additional panels providing plenty of shade.
Peg Pérego® Book Pop Up
The Peg Pérego® Book Pop Up compares best to the UPPAbaby®, and on this it wins some points. Besides folding up much easier, is much lighter, and easier to transport, the bassinet also has a softer and more classic look than the UPPAbaby®. However, while the UPPAbaby® material is machine washable, all Peg Pérego® material has to be hand washed.
Additionally, the Peg Pérego® is just a tiny bit shorter than the UPPAbaby®, making the UPPAbaby® more pleasant for tall people.
We are also in love with the eco-leather handle, which gives the stroller a much more luxurious look than when using foam handles (like UPPAbaby®, Bumbleride®, and Bugaboo®).
That being said, the frame and wheels are not impressive. The frame doesn't have the same sleek look of the Stokke® Trailz or the classic look of the ROAN®. The wheels are small and not at all suitable for all-terrain, and some owners have complained that over time they have issues with the front swirwel feature. Owners of this pram have also complained that the suspension does not allow for a smooth ride - even on asphalt every little bump can be felt.
