We are getting the Britax B-Ready stroller, but I can’t decide between 2 infant car seats. The Peg Perego Primo Viaggio SIP 30/30 vs. the Britax Chaperone! I know Graco, and the Chicco have good car seats as well, but these are just the 2 we feel are going to be the safest and most comfortable for our baby! Please Give me your opinion on which of the 2 you have had an experience with or heard about!! Thank you!!

I selected Graco. However, I recommend you to choose the Rear facing type car seat as it is safer than front facing car seat.
As I know, there was a new recommendation about using car seat as parent shall use rear facing car seat for their kid until 2 years old not 1 year old as stated previously.
I have heard both are heavy to lug around. I never did the ‘infant bucket’, went straight for a convertible and a stroller that reclined for newborns (or just used a baby sling). I couldn’t see paying that much money for a car seat that I would use for only about a year. Our neighbors have the Britax, stopped taking that seat in and out of the car after 4 months of use. That seat should last to abut 18 months. At that time, you will still need to get another RF seat. Evenflo Triumph 65 is a great top-rated convertible, and is great for newborns and according to my LO’s VERY comfy. Just can’t take it in and out of the car, but the seat will last you for about 5 years. Paying top dollar doesn’t mean getting the top-rated set. If you do go for a pricey travel system, try before you buy. Another reason we skipped the infant bucket, was that many travel systems felt like crap moving around. We tried them in the store, found some heavy toys to plop in the seat ‘like a baby’, and many were just awful with any weight in them.
I don’t know that much about the Britax Chaperone, but I know several people who have the Peg Perego and all say that it’s so ridiculously heavy that they stopped even taking it out of the car. My cousin and her husband (who is a 6’2" firefighter) both said that it feels like lead… especially once their daughter hit the 14-15lb range.
I’m sure the weight is related to its safety features, but the whole point of an infant seat is that you can take it out of the car and cart it around with you. If it’s not easy or convenient to do that, then you might as well just get a convertible seat right off the bat! I found online reviews on target.com and babiesrus.com very helpful when picking out my baby gear!
