Who is the Primo Viaggio Lounge for?

The Primo Viaggio Lounge is a rear-facing infant car seat for babies from 4 to 30 lb and up to 32 inches. It comes with a base that has a load leg and anti-rebound bar, can be belted in without the base, and reclines in 3 positions on a stroller. It expires 7 years after purchase.

Reasons to consider it

  • A base with a load leg, an anti-rebound bar and a Right Tight lock-off clip
  • A 3-position backrest recline for use on a stroller chassis
  • A 6-position sliding harness plate, with no rethreading
  • Aircraft use without the base

Things to weigh up

  • The backrest must be in the most upright position whenever the seat is in a vehicle
  • Peg Perego lists the carrier at 10.4 lb without hood and inserts, and the base at 11 lb
  • The Dual Stage Cushion System is only for babies up to about 8 lb
  • An older Lounge manual states 4 to 35 lb; the current page and manual both say 4 to 30 lb

My take on the Primo Viaggio Lounge

The Lounge suits parents who will use the carrier on a Peg Perego stroller and want a flatter position there. The trade-off is weight: Peg Perego lists the carrier at 10.4 lb without hood and inserts, and the recline must be fully upright in the car. The Primo Viaggio Nido shares the load-leg base but lists its carrier at 8.2 lb, without the stroller recline.

Who the Primo Viaggio Lounge fits

This seat covers one stage. Peg Perego gives it a 7-year life from the date of manufacture, so check the date label before using a hand-me-down.

How the Primo Viaggio Lounge installs

Recline
Comfort recline handle. The recline angle is what keeps a young baby’s airway open, so set it before tightening the install.

Every install is a fit between one seat and one vehicle. Read both manuals, and use a free inspection station if anything is unclear.

Will it fit your car?

Peg Perego does not publish a width for this seat, so measure your back seat and compare it with the seat in a store before buying. It weighs 10.4 lb, which matters if you will move it between cars or carry it through an airport.

  • Check your vehicle manual for lower anchor positions and any head-restraint rules.
  • Rear-facing seats need front-seat room: try the install behind the driver before you commit.
  • Certified for aircraft use, so it can travel as a seat rather than checked baggage.

What features does the Primo Viaggio Lounge have?

  • Load leg (base)
  • Anti-rebound bar (base)
  • Base included
  • Baseless install with vehicle belt
  • Comfort recline handle

Where Peg Perego’s page and manual disagree

  • Older Lounge manual linked from the Lounge on Wheels bundle page states 4-35 lb; the Lounge page and its current manual state 4-30 lb.

When they differ, follow the manual and the labels on your seat.

What to know before you live with it

Installing the base

You deploy the load leg until it clicks, level the base with the angle knob, then install it with the LATCH strap or a lap or lap and shoulder belt through the color-coded slots. The Right Tight lock-off clip closes over the strap or belt; with an emergency locking lap and shoulder belt, the manual says to leave it in that mode and use the lock-off. The load leg's foot must touch the floor. If it cannot, leave the leg tucked under the base. Peg Perego does not allow borrowing lower anchors from another seat. The base should move no more than 1 inch.

Using it without the base

The Lounge is certified with or without the base, but the manual recommends the base and says to go without it only if needed. Without it, the line on the carrier must be horizontal, using rolled towels or pool noodles at the seat crease. The lap belt runs through slots on the shell and the shoulder belt wraps around the back of the seat into a rear slot. The handle must be in the forward-most position; the manual says any other position may injure the baby in a crash. A locking clip may be needed with an emergency locking belt. Do not use it without the base with an inflatable belt.

Recline, harness and side pods

The Comfort Recline handle sits at the top of the shell. On a Peg Perego chassis the carrier can face either direction in any of its 3 positions. In the car it must be fully upright, with or without the base. A sliding harness plate behind the rear door gives 6 shoulder positions, and the straps should sit just below the shoulders. The head must stay at least 1 inch below the top of the seat back. The Dual Stage Cushion System is for babies up to about 8 lb. Pull out the Kinetic Pod on the door side fully, and never the one facing the vehicle's center.

Is the Primo Viaggio Lounge recalled?

No campaign in the current NHTSA child-restraint data names this model family, and I have not run a separate review for it. Check your seat’s model number and date of manufacture before use.

Answers refer to the model and manual version on this page. Check the instructions supplied with your seat.

Before you buy

  1. Weigh and measure your child. The limits above are the manufacturer’s, and a child has to meet all of them for the mode they will use.
  2. Confirm the exact version. Colors, retail exclusives and model numbers change limits more often than you would expect; Peg Perego lists 6 colors of this seat.
  3. Read the manual before you buy, not after. It is linked above and holds the fit rules, the install methods and the expiry.
  4. Check recalls by model number and date of manufacture, and register the seat with Peg Perego so you hear about the next one.
