Peg Perego Vivace SLK 5 Piece Modular Travel System

The Peg Perego Vivace SLK 5 Piece Modular Travel System is a complete, Italian-made pram system built around one of Peg Perego's lightest full-size frames. One compact aluminium chassis carries a newborn bassinet (with a home stand), a reversible toddler seat and the Primo Viaggio SLK infant car seat, and a matching nappy bag finishes the set.

At just 9.4 kg and 51 cm wide, the Vivace is easy to lift into the boot, steer through busy shopping centres and fit into lifts, and it's suitable from birth to 22 kg (around 3 to 4 years).

What's in the box

• Vivace chassis: A lightweight aluminium frame with an eco-leather handlebar, Soft-Ride wheels, 4-wheel suspension and a one-hand, self-standing fold.
• Toddler seat with foot muff: Reversible, usable from birth to 22 kg, with a lie-flat recline, 5-point harness and extendable UPF 50+ hood.
• Culla Belvedere bassinet: A spacious newborn bassinet with a mattress, built-in mosquito net and a cold-weather apron.
• Bassinet stand: A freestanding home stand that holds the Culla Belvedere at a convenient height, so you can keep your baby close in the living room or next to your bed.
• Primo Viaggio SLK infant car seat: A rear-facing infant car seat from birth to 13 kg / 87 cm, which clicks straight onto the Vivace frame.
• Matching nappy bag: With a changing mat.

The Vivace frame and seat

The Vivace is Peg Perego's lightweight everyday pram. Its aluminium frame weighs 9.4 kg and is 51 cm wide, and it folds flat with one hand into a self-standing package. You can fold it with the seat attached, in either direction.

• Reversible seat from birth: The seat faces you or faces the world. The backrest has 4 positions and reclines with one hand to lie-flat (about 150 degrees), so it's suitable from birth up to 22 kg.
• 5-point harness: Padded and height-adjustable, with adjustable side impact protection.
• Swing-away bumper bar: Opens like a gate, making it easier to lift your toddler in and out.
• Large UPF 50+ hood: Extendable, with a sun visor, a ventilation panel and a quiet magnetic peek-a-boo window, so you can check on a sleeping baby without waking them.
• Suspension and wheels: Spring suspension on all four wheels and 17.8 cm Soft-Ride EVA wheels with ball bearings, which are quiet, smooth and puncture-proof. The front wheels swivel and lock.
• Brake: A one-step rocker pedal that's easy to use in sandals.
• Shopping basket: An under-seat basket that holds up to 5 kg.
• Handlebar: Eco-leather, at a fixed height of about 105 cm.

The Culla Belvedere bassinet and stand

For the newborn months, the Culla Belvedere gives your baby a flat, spacious place to lie, on the pram or at home on its stand.

• Roomy interior: 39 cm wide and 79 cm long inside.
• Breathable lining: The mattress and interior lining are made from breathable Fresco jersey fabric.
• Built-in mosquito net: The Ombra net lets air circulate, and has a UPF 50+ shade panel that tucks into a pocket when you don't need it.
• Hood with panoramic visor: UPF 50+, lowers with one hand, and has a rear "Belvedere" window so you can check on your baby.
• Cold-weather apron: Included, for chilly mornings.
• Carry handle: A faux-leather handle for carrying the bassinet when it's off the frame.
• Home stand: Weighs 1.8 kg and folds flat (54 x 70 x 26 cm) for storage. The bassinet clicks onto it, and you can adjust the supports so it sits level.
• Who it's for: From birth up to 9 kg, or until your baby can roll over, sit up unaided or push up on their hands and knees, whichever comes first (usually around 6 months).

The Primo Viaggio SLK infant car seat

• From birth to 13 kg / 87 cm: Usually to around 15 to 18 months.
• Rear-facing only: The safest way for babies to travel.
• Two ways to install: With your car's 3-point seat belt, or on a Peg Perego base (the 360 Twist Base or i-Size Base, sold separately).
• Side impact protection: Kinetic Pods on the sides and an energy-absorbing EPS insert in the shell.
• Grows with your baby: A 6-position headrest and harness adjust together, with a newborn reducer and a memory-foam, dual-stage cushion for tiny babies.
• Canopy: UPF 50+, retractable, with a toy hook.
• Click-on travel system: It clicks straight onto the Vivace frame, so you can move a sleeping baby from car to pram without unbuckling.
• Lightweight carrier: About 4 kg, with a tilting carry handle.
• Independent testing: The i-Size version of the Primo Viaggio SLK scored "good" (1.9) in the 2022 consumer crash tests by Stiftung Warentest, ADAC, ÖAMTC and TCS.

Specifications

How long you'll use each part

Vivace or Veloce?

Both are compact, 51 cm-wide, Italian-made Peg Perego prams, and they take the same Culla Belvedere bassinet and Primo Viaggio SLK car seat.

• Choose the Vivace if light weight matters most. It's 1.3 kg lighter (9.4 kg vs 10.7 kg) and folds smaller, which makes a real difference when you're lifting it in and out of the car every day.
• Choose the Veloce if you'd like bigger rear wheels (25 cm), a pivoting handlebar and a fold you can pull along like luggage.

Good to know

• Car seat base: The base isn't included. The car seat fits securely with your car's seat belt, or you can add the Peg Perego 360 Twist Base or i-Size Base for quicker click-in installation.
• Terrain: The Vivace is at its best on pavements, shopping centres, tiled floors and smooth park paths. The suspension is firm and the wheels are compact, so it's not designed for rough trails, cobblestones or sand.
• Handlebar: The handlebar height is fixed at about 105 cm, which suits most parents but may feel low if you're very tall.
• Optional extras: A rain cover, Ride with Me board, child tray, cup holder and travel bag are sold separately.

How to care for it

• The seat and bassinet fabrics are removable. Follow the care label on each part.
• Wipe the frame, wheels and car seat shell with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry them.
• Clear sand and grit from the wheels and fold joints regularly to keep the fold smooth.
• Store the pram folded in a dry place, out of direct sun.

Safe use

• Always use the 5-point harness in the seat, and never leave your child unattended.
• For sleep in the bassinet, place your baby on their back on the mattress provided only, with no pillows, bumpers, extra padding or loose bedding.
• Always use the bassinet stand on a flat, stable floor, and check that the bassinet is properly latched before placing your baby inside.
• Stop using the bassinet once your baby reaches 9 kg, or can roll over, sit up unaided or push up on their hands and knees.
• Car seats are for travel, not for sleep. Take your baby out once you reach your destination and move them to a flat sleep surface.
• Always use the car seat rear-facing, and never in a seat with an active front airbag.
