After I realised Peg Peregos were worth it I fell in love with the Milano, it and a wicker Peg Perego pram were the 2 strollers I have fallen in love with at 1st site. At $300 I just couldn't justify the purchase to myself. With my 1st b/c I had 2 Peg Peregos and she was not a tiny baby anymore. With my 2nd I wasn't sure if I would need a double later so couldn't justify it either. My 3rd was after a 5 yr gap though. Sisters both in school full time. I figured if I didnt buy my Milano I would keep having kids till I got one :-) So I stalked ebay. I was looking for a newer XL for under $100 but when I saw this original in green just like my Pliko I couldn't resist. Starting bid of only $25 I thought it might go low since it was pickup only. Little did I know how low it would go. I actually felt really bad even bidding. You see it was pickup only in Palm Beach and during the auction one of the hurricanes hit, knocking out power and for many even phone and cable so there really wasn't anyone to bid against me. I could bid b/c I wasn't in Palm Beach but my family was and though they were without power for a week they did have cell phones that worked the whole time. So I won the Milano at starting bid. I justified it as, I would pay more for it if someone had bid and really wanted it, what if they didn't relist, besides there was no reserve and they started the bid there so it must be the minimum they want for it. When I needed to get doubles I needed to purge singles per my husbands orders. I could not get rid of this, it went to my moms house instead though is currently at my sisters waiting for her new baby. I am hoping to fix the fold on my other sisters Milano XL and swap it out to have this one back. My guess is this is mid 90s Milano since it has the smaller removable basket plus I think that is the only time they made a green chassis

this was a beautiful pram, I had the green check and only one in Australia. It had a great fold system a removable basket and can go from stroller to pram very easily. I absolutely loved the handle. But, my husband made me sell it and I sold it to a grandma not far from me in the area and she was very thankful for the condition of it as I am a fastidious cleaner and look after my stuff. My daughter is now 20 and I long to find that pram, but I know I never will as it was a very limited edition and who knows has it? and how it was looked after. I just wish I had never sold it! Now I collect big silver cross prams.
