Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while but wanted to let you all know that my buybuy Baby has the Peg Perego Convertible in-stock. I took some measurements today but didn't get any pictures. I work again tomorrow and will try and take some if you're interested.

The main points I noticed were:
- rear faces to 45lbs, can not start forward facing until 22lbs
- the lower infant padding must be used until the child is 22lbs
- the seat can be between 40-45* rear facing
- it expires 7 years from the date of manufacture
- if your vehicle doesn't state any LATCH limits and tells you to refer to the CR manufacturer, Peg has a limit of 30lbs
- highest harness position without lower padding is 17in

There wasn't a Peg convertible in 2011? It's just been released for the first time. I think when they first talked about though it was going to be 35# but that changed back in the fall maybe? When it was at the Expo it was 45# anyway.

I am needing measurements for that seat for the Measurements/Data Spreadsheets. If you have time, would you mind submitting some of your data to the spreadsheet?

You can use this link for submitting the info:

It's 45 for the US, 35 for Canada, I believe. But I'm 100% certain it's 45 in the US. My friend was considering it, but it's not any taller than the Britaxes, so the 45 pound limit would really only work for short, stocky kids.

It's 45# in both countries. There are pics on the blog from the Expo I'm sure. I'll go find them.

I keep waiting for this seat to surface. I'm hoping it's the poor man's equivalent to Foonf.

Canadian versions even offer an ARB....

If it's 17" harness that's a lot more room.

Looks nice, but not too skinny at 21.17 inches wide!! Maybe it will puzzle well.

Did you get a measurement on internal seating height for RF??

Oh, I wish we had a BBB around here!

I'd be happy to. I was actually filling out the spreadsheet at work today. We also have the Evenflo Secure Kid Combination seat, I'll measure that one as well.

Wow! I just looked at the description of it on Albee Baby and their info is way off. It appears that some of their bullets were taken from Peg's website, but I'm not sure where the rest of the info is from.

The info that they got from they expo didn't change much. The price however did. We have the black fabric and it's retailing for $349.99. Also, the photos on-line show it with rear and forward facing lock-offs but they do only have a forward facing lock-off.
