Peg Perego Ypsi Review: A Single-to-Double for Peg Perego Car Seats?
Short answer: The Peg Perego Ypsi is worth it for families who want one stroller that can later carry two children. Peg Perego lists it at $899.99 and 26 lb, rated to 50 lb. Mommyhood101 rates it 4.5 out of 5 for ride and build, but the basket holds only 15.4 lb and extras add up quickly.

The Peg Perego Ypsi is a solid pick if a second baby may come along and you like Peg Perego's car seats. It costs $899.99 and weighs 26 lb, with a reversible seat rated to 50 lb and a $59.99 double adapter. Mommyhood101 found it easy to push and stable over bumps. The basket is rated to only 15.4 lb, though, newborns need a $399.99 bassinet or a car seat, and the instructions draw complaints. Rivals offer bigger baskets for similar money.
Who is the Peg Perego Ypsi for?
The Peg Perego Ypsi is for families who want a premium stroller now and room for a second child later. Peg Perego lists it at $899.99, or from $1,299.99 as the Ypsi Travel System, and says it goes from single to double for twins or two children. The double adapter costs $59.99. At 26 lb it is a car-and-sidewalk stroller rather than one you carry up stairs every day. It pairs naturally with Peg Perego's Primo Viaggio infant car seats, which click on with $19.99 links, and other brands need a $49.99 adapter. Mommyhood101 calls it a strong pick for buyers who want a high-quality stroller with room to grow. If you only ever need one seat, the lighter Peg Perego Vivace costs $100 less.
How does the Ypsi ride and steer?
The Peg Perego Ypsi rolls on 10.6 in rear wheels and 7 in front wheels, by Peg Perego's spec. Mommyhood101 reports a small spring suspension on each wheel and found the stroller extremely easy to push and maneuver, comfortable over bumps and stable thanks to a low center of gravity. The reviewer also found the brakes and front wheel locks effective, and notes an adjustable handlebar. That review did not try the double setup, so how it handles with two children is not confirmed. Peg Perego's manual says the Ypsi is not suitable for running or skating. One owner on Strollberry wished for air-filled tires. Peg Perego lists the wheel sizes but gives no suspension details of its own. For sidewalks, parks and packed paths, reviewers are happy with it.

How big is the Ypsi when folded?
Peg Perego lists the Ypsi at 26 lb (11.8 kg). Folded, Peg Perego gives 19.9 x 23.6 x 33.3 in (50.5 x 60 x 84.5 cm). Mommyhood101 measured about 20 in wide, 32.25 in tall and 15.25 in deep, and said it is about 5 in narrower than the Mockingbird. The reviewer found the fold unusual and said it takes more upper-body strength than many strollers. It folds with the seat and bumper bar attached and locks on its own, though a slow fold may need the lock engaged by hand. When folded, it stands on its handlebar and two rubber feet. It fits most trunks, but it is not a carry-on stroller.
Is the Ypsi comfortable and safe?
The Peg Perego Ypsi seat is reversible, and Peg Perego's US manual rates it to 50 lb and 43 in. Mommyhood101 reports a multi-position recline, a footrest that lifts for naps, a large canopy with a window and a five-point harness. The reviewer says an 8-month-old rode comfortably. Peg Perego's US page lists birth to 50 lb, but its international manual rates the seat from 6 months. For a newborn, the safer route is the $399.99 Ypsi bassinet, rated to 19.8 lb, or a Primo Viaggio infant car seat, rated to 22 lb on the frame. Peg Perego lists ASTM F833-21 in its declaration of conformity.
How much storage does the Ypsi have?
Peg Perego's US manual rates the Peg Perego Ypsi basket to 15.4 lb (7 kg). Mommyhood101 describes the basket as large, but notes there are no storage pockets or cup holders built in. Peg Perego sells a $24.99 cup holder and a $59.99 child tray with a cup holder and snack container. A diaper bag and a jacket will fit easily, but the weight limit is about half of what many full-size rivals allow, so heavy grocery runs are not its strength.

How does the Ypsi go from single to double?
Peg Perego says the Peg Perego Ypsi goes from single to double to carry twins or two children, and it sells a $59.99 Double Adapter for Ypsi and Z4 on the Ypsi page. Peg Perego's page does not spell out which second seat, bassinet or car seat combinations are allowed, so check the manual or ask a retailer before you buy. Mommyhood101 did not try the double setup. If your older child would rather stand, Peg Perego also sells a Ride with me board. Keep in mind that each seat is rated to 50 lb, and the basket stays at 15.4 lb even with two children aboard. For many families, the single-to-double option is the main reason to choose the Ypsi over the Vivace.
