Strollers

Difference between 2005 & 2006 Britax Companion?
Difference between Graco's SnugRide & SnugRide2?
Difference between Graco's SnugRide & SafeSeat?
Difference between Combi Centre EX, DX & ST?
Difference between Peg Perego's Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP?
Difference between 2005 & 2006 Britax Companion?
Nothing except the color! The 2005 frame and base is a white/light gray. The 2006 frame and base is black.
Difference between Graco's SnugRide & SnugRide2?
The weight and height limit was increased on all SnugRides made since 2005. Technically all new SnugRide models are now SnugRide2, although some stores list the product name as "SnugRide2" and some just list "SnugRide". To be sure, look at the model number. Model numbers of the SnugRide2s all end in a "2."
New SnugRide2 models have a weight limit of 22 pounds and height limit of 29 inches. Older SnugRide models have a weight limit of 20 pounds and height limit of 26 inches.
Difference between Graco's SnugRide & SafeSeat?
Graco's new SafeSeat has a higher weight and height limit than the SnugRide (see chart below). It also weighs more and is larger. The SafeSeat also has a few extra features including an EPS energy-absorbing foam liner, 180-degree rotating sun canopy and a height-adjustable stay-in-car base.

Difference between Combi Centre EX, DX & ST?
In Combi world, the ST is a standard, lower price, less feature model. The DX is a deluxe model. And the EX is an exclusive model, identical to the DX except that it is sold only at Babies R Us.
There is no difference between the Combi Centre EX and DX except in color choice.
The Combi Centre ST is a cheaper car seat with the same height and weight limits as the DX/EX, but because it is missing the EPS energy-absorbing foam, it weighs 1.3 pounds less. The only other difference is that the DX/EX has an easier system for adjusting harness height and comes with an infant body pillow.
Difference between Peg Perego's Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP?
The new "SIP" acronym attached the Primo Viaggio models starting in 2006 stands for "Side Impact Protection", the biggest safety feature improvement on the models. As you might guess, Primo Viaggio's from 2001 - 2005 do not have side impact protection.
In fact, Primo Viaggio SIP is a complete redesign of the previous model, so much so that many SIPs don't fit on universal infant car seat adapters for strollers, including the Bugaboos. The Primo Viaggio SIPs won't fit on older Peg Perego strollers either. Primo Viaggios from 2001 - 2005 will fit strollers from that year, but as of 2006, the new Peg Perego strollers were designed for the new Primo Viaggio SIPs.
The Primo Viaggio SIP also has a higher height limit, accommodating babies up to 30 inches, up from 26 inches. All those improvements did make for a larger and heavier seat though. The SIP is 3.3 pounds heavier than its predecessor.
