Bought Aria OH for my 4months old.
Happy with the stroller with only 2 complaint

1) The freedom of movement harness is a completely useless features. It keep detach by itself and my 4 months who are learning to sit up keep falling front.

Solution: I DIY sold it tightly so it wont detach anymore.. Think I will remove the stitches once he is much older and like the 'freedom of movement' whille in stroller!

2) Basket, look big but hard to reach, only can store small items.. diaper bag have to have hook at the handle

Overall i am happy with this stroller very very lightweight!

Do not buy this stroller!
By Elaine from Pennington, NJ on 9/10/2009
Cons:
Baby can slide out, Complicated harness strap, Very difficult to fold
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this stroller because of Peg Perego good reputation. What a mistake! its very difficult to fold and unfold, the harness straps do not stay hooked to the seat, and the hooking clamps do not clamp correctly! Half the time I have it hooked incorrectly and my son can slide out the bottom! There are no parent cup holders, (the attachable one that came with it actually kept popping off, eventually it got lost). I wish I saved the box and receipt to return this stroller.
