Mamas & Papas Primo Viaggio IP
A perfectly adequate and safe car seat but was too heavy to carry around

Our Review

With an easy click fitting system (when you buy the extra car seat base) the Primo Viaggio IP offers a really easy-to-use, reassuringly safe car seat for your baby. But you’ll need strong arms to be able to carry your tot around in it once he’s a few months old. Without ...  Continue reading

Sturdy car seat for the safety concious, the weight is a minor detail as the seat can be fitted onto a pram chassis for going any distance.

I used the car seat as part of my travel system on a daily basis Continue reading...

It is a very good car seat to have as your first one was very heavy to carry about though but very easy to put in and out of the car and to clip on the pram when was using it on it. Continue reading...

This is a great car seat for those who are ultra safety aware (some call me nerotic.... i call it risk averse). The thick padding provides reassurance when imaging the worst happening. It's easy to fit and fe Continue reading...

a good and secure seat. We choose not to continue using it beyond 6 mths though as the seat alone weighs aprox 8lb's, what with our nearly 9lb baby inc'd it was far to heavy to lug around!
Reccomended if you are strong enough to take the weight and want baby secure but Not if you are a little weak like me and produced a whopper of a baby.
We choose to sale the seat on and use a groco seat for our New baby born May 10.
their are a lot smaller and less heavy seats on the market.
Be sure you want to part with so much cash before you buy this seat because you cant take it back if you decide its not for you and your baby, its only worth £30 on auction sites, even if you have only used it a handful of times. Thats £100 waisted as these retail at £130!!!
