Peg Perego Ypsi vs Peg Perego Switch

Folded, the Peg Perego Switch makes a 5.37 cu ft box to the Peg Perego Ypsi's 9.05 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Peg Perego Ypsi misses by 11.3 in and the Peg Perego Switch by 7 in. The Peg Perego Switch is 2 lb lighter by its maker's figure (24 lb to 26 lb). The Peg Perego Switch is newborn-ready as sold; the Peg Perego Ypsi needs a bassinet, insert or infant car seat for the first months.
