Awesome Stroller I LOVE IT,
I bought this stroller because I wanted a stroller that can be adjustable for a newborn and adjust to a toddler. This stroller does the job. It can be switched to face you or face outwards which not many strollers can do.I like the idea when I am pushing the stroller , the baby is facing me.
The seat can recline to a full bassinet style which is perfect for a newborn. The seat can fully become detached from the stroller . The wheels glide perfect and is easy to push ..no complaints. I bought this stroller at Babies R Us but wanted to leave a review how great this stroller is.A t first glance the stroller did not stand out to me till a sales person from Babies R Us showed me how the stroller seat flips and can fully lounge.The basket under the stroller has a decent amount of storage for bags and personal items.
I was so impressed I bought it right away. Had I known Amazon had this stroller I would have bought it from them because Amazons price is much cheaper then Babies R Us. The company who makes this stroller should put pictures of the different positions this stroller can do … This stroller is very easy to fold and unfold and does not take up to much room in the trunk of a car.

|I like it,
I like this stroller, but I don’t love it.
Pros:
-You can remove the stroller seat completely and snap the car seat in. Very convenient while baby is still using infant car seat, and removing the seat makes the stroller part much lighter and easier to fold.
-You can have the seat or car seat facing either way, which (I think) my son enjoys.
-Umbrella fold makes it fairly easy to maneuver when folded up, and it can stand upright when folded.
-Basket is a good size. True there are bars in the way, but if you pull the side of the basket, it’s pretty easy to get things in and out.
-Seat can recline fully so you can put an infant in it.
-Nice fabric, comfy seat.
-There’s a little platform for toddlers to stand on. I only have one child, but if I have another in the future I think this would come in handy.
Cons:
-The footprint is pretty large so it’s cumbersome getting around things.
-Does not steer well. I find myself knocking into things all the time. The front wheels don’t turn very well.
-The stroller with the seat attached is QUITE heavy (probably close to 25 lbs?). If I had known this stroller would be so heavy, I probably would’ve purchased the Pliko P3 or the UppaBaby Vista instead.
-The stroller with the seat attached is also much more difficult to fold (the seat doesn’t fold as easily as the frame itself, which is what I’ve been using since my son is still in the infant car seat). The folding mechanism itself is simple; it’s just it’s hard to do.
Overall, it isn’t a bad stroller, but if I were to do it all over again, I probably wouldn’t buy this stroller. But it isn’t awful enough that I would actually toss this one and get a new one. I would recommend using a Snap-n-go with an infant seat, then purchasing an umbrella stroller.

|Some great features, but not the best stroller,
Every stroller has its pros and cons, the Pliko Switch being no exception. I’m writing this review after having this stroller (the 2010 version) for a full year, and using it as an infant and toddler stroller.
Pros:
**I liked this stroller as an infant stroller. The peg perego primo viaggio car seat snaps on really securely – no extra snaps, straps, or components needed.
**As an infant seat stroller, the frame folds up easily, somewhat compactly, and can stand upright on its own.
**Basket does hold alot (although it’s difficult to access)
**The infant seat and toddler seat can snap on forward or rear facing, which is wonderful
**The handles can be extended or shortened very easily, which is great when my husband and I switch off pushing it
**The toddler seat reclines to 180 degrees (or near that)
**The toddler snack tray is included in the price
**You can hang a pretty heavy diaper bag off the handles and it doesn’t get in your way or tip the stroller over
Cons:
**The worst thing about this stroller is how it handles. Ours is like an out-of-alignment car – it always seems to veer to the right. I’m constantly running into things because it’s almost impossible to control. We’ve subsequently purchased a Baby Jogger and it handles SO MUCH BETTER. This is my primary annoyance with this stroller and the reason that I only gave it 3 stars. If the stroller handled better, it would be the perfect stroller.
**Impossible to steer with one hand
**REALLY difficult to fold with the toddler seat attached
**The toddler seat recline mechanism is somewhat sticky. It always seems to recline the left half of the seat only
**The parent cup holder is pathetic, and it barely attaches to the frame. Ours got lost in transit somewhere when it snagged on something without us realizing it. You can’t just order a generic replacement because they hinder the folding mechanism. I ordered a replacement from peg perego for $35 (!) that still didn’t fit properly on the frame.
The bottom line:
It works well as an infant stroller, but the $60 snap-n-go works just as well, has a better basket and cupholder, and is easier to fold! As the mother of a toddler, I would not take this stroller anywhere that I had to push for significant periods of time or over any rough terrain, because it’s just takes too much effort to push.
One last thing. We got the Java color, because I wanted something neutral. It’s very boring. I wish I would’ve purchased a flashier color. AND because you never use the stroller seat and the infant seat at the same time, they don’t need to be the same color.
