I love my pram, the storage space is excellent, I can fit my whole weeks shopping in the base and more if you’re really good at Tetris. The folding of the pram is super easy and surprisingly good at fitting in boots. The only problem is the wheels, for being designed for city centres, I can stuck on the tiniest of stones on the pavement and it’s not just because I still have my L plates on! The wheels get jammed super easy making going up curbs or getting in and out the house difficult. I’m theyre always twisting in on themselves and buckling up which often takes away from the joy of pram, and devalues it in my opinions. After paying all that money for what I thought was going to be the best pram going I’d like to be able to get out the street without tripping up!Read more - Strengths:

I would highly recommend this travel system, it looks stylish, easy to collapse. when pushing its very smooth and the handle is easily gripped but very comfy. its easy to change from carrycot/seat to car seat as long as you remember the car seat adaptors. Only complaints are that when the carrycot is on the frame it leaves very little room to put items in the huge basket underneath. - Strengths:

Looks fantastic to push. Classic yet modern! Love the interchangeable colour packs! Huge basket!

Overall, great value for money, looks fantastic, I do wish it had chest pads for the pushchair style seat, and the clip was a bit easier to do up I love the huge basket, all the changeable colour packs and the fact there are so many add ons eg the squishy seat liner which looks so comfortable, the cup holder, parasol etc. If I’d known better, I would have bought a maxi cosi car seat or similar. The silver cross one is too vertical and my baby’s head lolls about and has done since birth, especially in the car. The straps only have two levels, and the headrest moves with them. Not good for bigger babies when born who need a lower headrest but longer straps.Read more

I was bought this pram as a gift when we heard our little one was on the way. It was very expensive but we were bought various accessories eg parasol, cold weather liner, isofix base. As a little girl I had a silver cross pram for my dolls and this pram allowed me to still have a silver cross but one that’s much more versatile than the traditional. We opted for the pioneer as reviews of the Wayfair all mentioned the smaller front wheels causing issues. We have had no issues but it would be nice if it came with a rain cover for the carrycotRead more - Strengths:

Its a good pushchair. Annoyed that I didnt check my boot first to make sure it all fit properly. The carrycot is big but no bigger than other pushchairs. On occasion the wheels are like a supermarket trolley. The basket has plenty of space for shopping - Strengths:

I do love this pram. I love how it fully reclines so baby can sleep. The carrycot is quite narrow so my boy didn't fit in it for long but he was fine in the reclined seat. It has an amazing huge basket which is so handy. - Strengths:

Really adore the look of the wayfarer I bought the Henley special addition (navy quilted effect!) but didn’t pre test the buggy before purchase, I went by the brand name and look! I find it feels very flimsy when trying to manoeuvre up curbs or on rough terrain feels like the part which attaches to the front wheels will snap, also really struggle folding in / out, was stuck in the rain last week trying to get it to fold back down, also the frame with the Moses basket bit is massive so luckily I have a large car but now I have it I would advise people to go and test before buying and make sure it fits in your car!!Read more - Strengths:

Bought this silver cross travel system as my mum had a silver cross when I was little and it looked great. However I hardly use it, it’s too heavy, bulky and doesn’t hold much in the basket. - Strengths:

I love this pram a great purchase. Isn’t the easiest to unfold though and I personally would have preferred the bar to go at the top for my baby as it’s too low when used for the buggy part. - Strengths:

Comfy for baby, feels sturdy however struggles on kerbs and cobbles and difficult to lift in and out of car. Found the pram easy to clean though and plenty of room if baby was bigger. Worth getting a liner for pushchair to help comfort as the seat doesn’t feel cushioned for a 6 month old. Instructions for the foot muff attachment were a bit confusing but on the whole a good pram. Not sure I will use when little one is heavier though due to weight. - Strengths:

We purchased this as our first pram but after 8 weeks, we bought another. We walked down a slight stoney pathway by our house and the wheels could not cope. My 6 weeks old who was in the carry cot was nearly pinged out to the point I had to carry him.Read more
Also the carrycot didn't last past 8weeks (he was only on the 25th centile) as it wasn't long enough however the seat is bucketed.
You can change the whole seat angle but unfortunately you can't change the leg angle as it's static. The back and the bottom of the seat is at quiet an angle for a 8week old. The NHS recommend not to put babies in deep bucketed seats until 6m due to thier hips. Therefore we had to buy another pushchair.
On the occasion we did use it post 6m the seat looked really comfortable. The basket is huge and easy to access, which is great for food shopping. - Strengths:

When I first brought this product I loved it, it's has all the things you want in a pram/pushchair and the style of its beautiful and it looks really snug and comfortable, however I did have more than a few issues with it one being the the front wheels would lock straight at the slightest knock making steering difficult also I found it quite heavy and bulky even when folded, If you have a small car boot it's a nightmare to fit and theres no suspension what's so ever so I cant imagine it being a smooth ride.Read more
I like the added accessories and that you can choose the colour you want but I dont think it's worth the price. - Strengths:
