silver cross pop!

Advantages: folds easily, comfortable
Disadvantages: brake is not the best, rain cover also not too great

...When I first had my baby I bought a huge travel system which came with the car seat, a pram and a pushchair. The wheels were huge and so it was always awkward getting through small spaces on pavements and negotiating shops. They were also really heavy so I decided it was time to start looking for a pushchair, or a stroller as they seem to be called now thanks to the American influence. I had always been told that Silver Cross is a name that you can trust and that it is reliable and the best on the market. My parents recalled a time when you were 'someone' if you had Silver Cross, however the market is much more competitive now with the likes of Maclaren and Mamas and Papas having some really decent push chairs too. I didn't really know where to start looking, all I knew was that I wanted something that was simple to use, much...

Review of Silver Cross Pop Single Pushchair

Silver Cross Linear Freeway

Advantages: Good design, comfortable, reliable, 3 in 1 travel system
Disadvantages: Can be heavy, need a big boot to store chassis

...Please not: my review is for the Silver Cross Linear FREEWAY When I was about 6 1/2 months pregnant, I knew it was time to search out a buggy. However, for me this was not going to be an easy task. I am only 4' 6'' tall so I knew I would have to find a pram which would be able to cater for someone of my height, and also my partners average height. So my partner, my parents and I decided to set aside a whole day just to go pram shopping, but little did we know the perfect pram was just around the corner... My dad, being an engineer had been researching different prams for me, working out if he would be able to adjust the height for me. But he also found that in Mothercare, they did a basic chassis with a height adjustable handle. Only problem was, the pram was ugly! So we carried on our search and went into John Lewis. The first...

Review of Silver Cross (UK) Limited Linear Sleepover

Silver Cross Ventura

Advantages: Attaches onto silver cross chassis', compact, easy to fit
Disadvantages: Quickly outgrown, No Isofix version available

...I purchased the Silver Cross Ventura Car Seat whilst pregnant after noticing one being pushed around a shop attached to a chassis. I considered this to be an excellent idea for short shopping trips in busy stores without having to lug around a huge heavy pram. Fantastic for those clothes stores that never seem to give you enough space to get past displays! Design - Modern Sleek and Stylish design and available in 6 different designs and colours: Salsa - This is a dark grey and red colour with red stiching around the co-ordinated footmuff - this was the one I purchased and feel the colours compliment each other well. Unisex Colours. Jet Sport - This is their basic black version, still stylish and ideal for those not knowing the gender of their baby. Apollo - This is a light blue and grey patterned design, easy on the eye...

Review of Silver Cross Ventura

Silver Cross Pop Duo

Advantages: Narrow, compact umbrella fold, UV viewing windows in hood. Value for money
Disadvantages: Small shopping baskets, no middle handle

...I bought this on impulse 3 days after the birth of my second son when my eldest was just eighteen months old. I had spent hours trawling the net and several shops looking for the "perfect" double without success and intended this as a stop gap but actually it met my needs for many months. With a stylish black and silver colour scheme it is very smart to look at and at 76cm quite narrow for a side by side pushchair, it fitted easily through most shop doors and fitted through my front door but only just! At around 10kg it is not too heavy to lift in and out of a car boot and the umbrella fold is surprisingly compact, it has locking clips to keep it in place once folded. The shopping baskets are on the small side especially if you use one to stow the raincover but I found I was able to hang a change bag from the handles without any...

Review of Silver Cross Pop Duo Pushchair

Silver Cross 3D for Dissapointed.

Advantages: Fits in the boot.
Disadvantages: Doesn't fit baby for long though!

...I bought this pram because I wanted a pram and pushchair in one that would last until my baby was walking that would fit in my car boot. I thought silver cross would be top quality being a well known brand having years of experience and knowledge of what works. It seems that this pram is just made to look good and hasn't had much practical testing done on it. It looks really stylish but that doesn't actually count for much. At first it takes a bit of studying the instructions and fiddling about to work out how to transform it into the different positions. It folds up and down okay after a bit of practise. The process of turning it from a pram to a pushchair is not quick though. So far it has fit into all the car boots I have put it in. I would only buy this if you can tell that you are going to have a really small child...

Review of Silver Cross (UK) Limited 3D Pram System

Silver Cross Freeway

Advantages: Elegant with lightweight chassis unit.
Disadvantages: Compatible car seat does not fit onto any base

...My wife & I decided to purchase the Freeway (in pistachio) because of it's sleek design and the large, comfortable & snug sleeping area for baby. Silver Cross is of a name historically admired and trusted in the pram world. The classic large wheeled model is the one that generally springs to mind when this famous brand name is mentioned. However, Silver Cross have now entered the modern age. The chassis element of this system is just that - a chassis, & is useless in itself without the pram body element. The reason I mention this is that the body is totally detachable from the chassis for transportation. This is unlike some other travel systems, where the pram and chassis are part of the same unit and fold together when not in use. The chassis is also built specifically to hold a car seat designed in this range, namely...

Review of Silver Cross (UK) Limited Linear Freeway

Silver Cross Linear Sleepover

Advantages: Converts from pram to pushchair easily.
Disadvantages: Heavy, not good for someone recovering from caesarean.

...one! Stockists - This was difficult, I found that the main baby stores didnt tend to stock Silver Cross products, and those that did only seemed to have one style available which was the 3D system, not the one I wanted. I searched online and found that John Lewis stocked them, I immediately went to my nearest John Lewis but was disappointed to find that they sell absolutely everything as separates rather than a complete system, so what should cost about £300 ends up amounting to about £500 with all the extras like raincover and moses basket stand. Again it was back to the internet and I found that Boots sold it however it was out of stock and after checking with my local store they confirmed it was only available to buy online and they were unsure when more stock would be available. If you can get it from Boots whilst in stock I would...

Review of Silver Cross Junior Ranger Pram

Silver Cross Freeway Classis Chassis-Great for baby's comfort

Advantages: Very sturdy, very comfortable for baby, big enough for toddlers
Disadvantages: Static wheels, bulky in the car

...large * Solid wheels - no punctures * Good cosy toes * We were able to buy a matress from Silver Cross to fit this pram * Spare parts are easy to pruchase, but only from independant retailers, not available direct * Comfortable handle to push on, different height positions for different people, easy to change * Good pram body height in relation to parent * Nice to be able to reverse the pram body, toddlers like looking forward and at parent. Also, good additional sun protection as can face away from sun. * Sold pram base means toddler can sit up on flat surface and play with toys. Good suspension makes this more feasible. My toddler prefers this to sitting against a back rest * Good brakes Cons: * Bulky in the car, although the ability to take the wheels off is an advantage and an easy feature to manage. (We have a ford mondeo...
