Modern Family's Mitch and Cam Push Lily in a Peg Perego

Mitchell and Cam's daughter, Lily, on Modern Family is always pretty in a different pale pink outfit, but she appears to have just one set of wheels: a bright orange Peg Perego stroller.

Mitchell and Cam's daughter, Lily, on Modern Family is always pretty in a different pale pink outfit, but she appears to have just one set of wheels: a bright orange Peg Perego stroller. The infant character has been filmed shopping and traveling to Hawaii in the pictured carriage. Coincidentally, the brand, which has models ranging from $200 to about $700, may be best known for its lightweight travel strollers. We gave the Skate model a review of three and a half out of five stars in 2008. Have you pushed a Perego? What did you think?

Baby Items That Grow With Your Child 2009-08-16 06:00:00

See how far you can stretch that dollar. New parents spend a lot of dough on products that are typically designed to last a matter of months. Some manufacturers are aware of the frustration parents feel when their lil ones outgrow the crib, high chair, or swing that they spent their hard-earned money on, and are designing items that evolve as the children grow. From infant recliners that convert into high chairs to changing tables that turn into homework desks, check out six items that will stay in your home for more than one year and can be used for multiple children.

Strollin': Peg Perego Skate

Last on my list of travel stroller systems is the new Peg Perego Skate.

Last on my list of travel stroller systems is the new Peg Perego Skate. The Italian born Skate is easy on the eyes and a smooth ride, but the $900 price tag will make you flinch.

Like so many of its peers, the Skate can face forward or backward depending on mommy's preference. Only the Skate seat has telescoping capabilities giving tots the option to see the world in varying ways. The Skate also brags,"One Soul, Two Identities" as it stands alone in its ability to transform the bassinet to a toddler seat by simply releasing a few straps. If your child falls asleep in the seated position, you can quickly and easily turn the seat into a comfy napping spot where baby can spread out and relax. Even better, it means that the bassinet and the toddler seat are included in the price.
