Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 360 EVO Multi-Stage Car Seat

The Peg Perego Primo Viaggio 360 EVO Multi-Stage Car Seat is a rotating i-Size car seat, made in Italy, that takes your child from birth all the way to 150 cm (around 12 years). It starts as a rear-facing baby seat, becomes a forward-facing harnessed toddler seat, and finally a high-back booster, so it can be the only car seat you buy.

Its integrated base rotates 360 degrees, so you can turn the seat towards the open car door to lift your baby in and out, then turn it back to travel. It installs with ISOFIX and a support leg, and it's certified to UN R129/03 (i-Size).

What's in the box

• Primo Viaggio 360 EVO car seat: With an integrated rotating ISOFIX base, support leg, anti-rebound bar and dual-stage newborn cushion.

Three stages in one

• Rear-facing (40 to 105 cm): From birth, with the built-in 5-point harness. i-Size requires rear-facing until at least 15 months, and this seat lets your child stay rear-facing until 105 cm (around 4 years), which is widely recommended as the safest way to travel.
• Forward-facing with harness (76 to 105 cm): From 15 months at the earliest, you can turn the seat to face forward, still using the 5-point harness.
• High-back booster (100 to 150 cm): From around 4 years, your child uses the car's 3-point seat belt, guided by the seat's belt guides, with the ISOFIX base keeping the seat stable.

Safety features

• i-Size (UN R129/03) certified: Tested to the latest European standard, including side impact testing.
• ISOFIX and support leg: The integrated base locks into your car's ISOFIX points, and the support leg reduces forward rotation in a crash.
• Anti-rebound bar: Reduces the rebound movement of the seat in a crash when rear-facing.
• Kinetic Pods: Side protectors that help direct crash forces away from your child in a side impact.
• Adjustable side impact protection: The side protection adjusts with the headrest, so it stays at your child's head height as they grow.
• EPS shell and headrest: Energy-absorbing foam in the shell and headrest.
• Chest clip: Keeps the harness straps in the right position on your child's shoulders.
• Blind Lock: An anti-release system that helps stop the seat being released by accident, for example by an older sibling.

Comfort and everyday use

• 360-degree rotation: Turn the seat towards the door to buckle your child in, without leaning and twisting into the car.
• 5 recline positions: So your child can rest comfortably at every stage.
• Height-adjustable headrest: Grows with your child, and adjusts the harness height at the same time.
• Dual-stage cushion: Memory foam padding that supports newborns and adjusts as your child grows.
• Removable cover: Zips off for cleaning.

Specifications

Good to know

• Your car needs ISOFIX: The seat installs with ISOFIX and a support leg only. Check that your car has ISOFIX points, and that the floor in front of the seat is suitable for a support leg (some cars have under-floor storage compartments). It can't be installed with a seat belt alone.
• It's designed to stay in the car: Like most rotating multi-stage seats, it's large and heavy, so it's best for a car you use every day rather than moving between cars.
• It isn't a carry seat: Your baby can't be carried in it or clicked onto a pram. If you want a travel system for the newborn months, an infant carrier like the Primo Viaggio SLK or Lounge is the better fit, and you can move to the 360 EVO later.
• Front seat airbags: Never use the seat rear-facing in a front passenger seat with an active airbag.
• Turning forward-facing: Only turn the seat to face forward once your child is at least 15 months old and 76 cm tall. Keeping them rear-facing for longer is safer.

How to care for it

• Unzip and remove the cover, and wash it following the care label (usually by hand, in cool water with a mild detergent). Air dry it.
• Wipe the shell and base with a damp cloth and mild soap.
• Don't use bleach or harsh cleaners on the harness. Wipe it with a damp cloth.
• Replace the seat after any car accident, even if it looks undamaged.

Safe use

• Always follow the manual and the seat's labels for each stage and installation.
• Check the ISOFIX indicators and support leg indicator are green before every trip.
• Always make sure the seat is locked in its travel position (not turned towards the door) before you drive.
• Keep the harness snug, with the chest clip at armpit level.
• Remove thick jackets and padded snowsuits before buckling your child in. Tuck a blanket over the harness instead.
• Car seats are for travel, not for sleep. Take your baby out once you reach your destination, and take regular breaks on long journeys.
• Never leave your child alone in the car.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Keep your child rear-facing for as long as the seat allows (up to 105 cm). It's tempting to turn them around once they reach 15 months, but rear-facing spreads crash forces across the whole back, head and neck, so it's safer for longer.
