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.
I like the added accessories and that you can choose the colour you want but I dont think it's worth the price. - Strengths:

Looks lovely and easy to fold.
Baby looks and is comfortable in both the carry cot and pushchair. Carry cot c an also be used for occasional over night sleeping. Nice big basket buy can struggle to access when the carry cot is attached.
Bumper bar is easy to use and adds a nice touch and nice large hood.
Smaller wheels have caused to get stuck easily and stop suddenly and not great for a dog walk. - Strengths:

I absolutely love this pram it's so easy to use and stylish. I feel silver cross will always be around so I can put it away for our next baby in years to come. It has such smooth steering and my baby is comfortable inside. The only problem I've come across now is that my baby is sitting up and wanting to look around so I've set up his chair part as he is coming up 6 months anyways but I'm having difficulty with the straps. The straps around his waist part in particular, I can't get them tight enough to fit snug around his waist and my baby is quite a chunky one! However the straps that go over his shoulders and between his legs are perfect! I've looked in the manual, googled etc but not much information given so I'm currently in 2 minds at the minute as I've had such a great experience so far. The fold on this pram is also quite bulky so probably not the best for a small car. - Strengths:

The best pram I’ve had.
Lasted 3 years before I sadly had to rehome.
Had a few scratches but hardly anything for 3 years.
If I ever had another baby I would definitely be having another.
Lots of colour packs to change the colour if you wanted
Love how you can have front and rear view, I love being able to see my little one while pushing them.

The basket storage is such a convenient and perfect feature of this pram as well as the easy folding
- Weaknesses:

I love this pram. It’s so easy to use and switch from carrycot to car seat and back and forth. The folding is so simple to do which makes a busy life just that little bit easier. I would always prefer it to be slightly lighter but that’s just my bad back doing the talking. The only downside is I personally prefer bigger wheels which give a smoother ride and more suspension. Maybe actual tyres would benefit this pram? But the pushing of the pram is easy enough with one hand I’m pretty happy with it.

So happy with the look of the pushchair, people commented on it often. Bought whilst on offer so got a free car seat which was great. It goes up and down easily, is sturdy and could be taken on any journey. Yet because it’s sturdy it can be quite heavy in comparison to other pushchairs. Used for all ages and my child is big yet had plenty of space. - Strengths:

I bought this after seeing it at the baby shop and comparing it to other brands and models. To me, it feels lovely to push and feels very sturdy which is what you need in a pram. It comes in a variety of colours however I chose a classic black. The shopping basket underneath is a great size and I can manage to fit plenty of the food shop there so I don't have to struggle with the bags and the pushchair at the same time.
My only advice if you are considering this pram, is to check that it will fit in your boot. It is quite large and if you need to fit other stuff in there too then you might struggle. - Strengths:

This is my first buggy and I have loved it. It's been great from birth, up until toddlers. It's very easy to change between the trave systems. It is easy to push, the wheels are durable and go over anything. The only struggle I have is if I am holding my child I cannot open up the buggy with one hand. I have to put my little one down and then release the latch and pull it up. Apart from that I have loved using it. Would definitely recommend silver cross. It's a fantastic buggy - 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!! - Strengths:

The Pioneer is a fantastic system with plenty of room for a growing baby. The pram is soft and the sheets are easy to wash and put on. The buggy system has 3 positions so a sleepy baby can lay back and and then sit up to look around. The system is easy to steer but sometimes the front wheel hits the kerb and it’s difficult to get it over the step. If the cup holder is attached then doorways can be an issue. That said this is the best system I tried and the little niggles are far outweighed by the positives. The car seat is lightweight and attaches easily to the chassis. I would only use the isofix base with it though! - Strengths:

I brought this pram for my second daughter from new. I absolutely love it! It’s well made and lovely size and style. The only thing I would say which is slightly negative is the size and shape it folds down to. Apart from that I couldn’t fault it! - Strengths:

The pram looks beautiful and has many great details that make it such an amazing pram in my opinion. We used the carrycot up to about 4 months and then started using the seat in laying position. The carrycot is very nice, soft and well protected, however, it is rather small and my daughter outgrew it by 4 months. It is easy to take the units off the frame and to fold the frame. All though the frame is still quite big. Found it hard to store it in the flat. However it does fit in the cast boot even with the seat unit. The pram is comfortable to push. I did find it hard to get up the curb in the beginning but then realised once the handle is pulled out fully, it's actually very easy. I love the big shopping basket and the shape of it is quite closed so things don't fly off too easily. The seat unit is also very easy to attach to the frame and quick to switch between 3 reclining positions. I like the sitting position is fully up and the baby has an opportunity to look around (with our old pram the seat wasn't fully up). The hood is big and has an extension to make sure baby is protected from the sun when needed. It has a 5point harness that is easy to use and adjust. I like that the hood and covers can be switched from carrycot to the seat, less things to store away. The handle extends to comfortable length for me, easy to push and steer. The pram is quite light to push. I love the pram and an happy that I purchased it. Overall the quality is very nice. - Strengths:

I love this pram, it’s so nice to push, the turning circle is amazing and it goes up and down curbs well. I love the huge basket underneath and all of the lovely finishing touches, it feels like it’s built to last. I’m very tall so I like the fact that I can make the handle really high so I don’t arch my back when pushing. It folds down really easily and isn’t too bulky to store considering it’s a big travel system. Downside is that it is quite heavy to lift and there’s no suspension so quite hard and bumpy for my baby to lay in sometimes. Overall an excellent pram!

This is by far.my favourite pram. I played with soo many and researched a ridiculous amount before buying this one. I love the look of the pram, it is easy to steer and I find it easy to fold. It is a bit difficult to reach the basket when in pram mode. My husband bought me some clips so I can attach bags to the handle. The carrycot is one of the few that have a soft cosy lining. I like that the carrycot is included in the price and not separate to buy.

On the whole I would 100% recommend the pioneer to all my friends and family. It feels so smooth to push, the handle height adjusts for even the tallest of users, and the basket is huge!
My daughter doesn’t seem to mind at all no matter how rickety the pavement is, as the suspension feels quite solid. I’ve never used the wheels in straight mode, but the steering is so easy. The only con I have on the use of the pushchair is that sometimes the wheels get a little caught going up kerbs. It’s nothing major, it’s just if you hit it at a wrong angle. Folding the pushchair is really easy, just a case of pulling up levers and pushing down. The only issue is the size of the base unit, you do need a good sized boot to fit it into your car.
I really do rate the pioneer. So much so that I’ve kept it for our newest addition. Both girls have settled straight away as soon as they’ve been put in the carrycot (and my first had reflux!), and I honestly just love this pushchair. - Strengths:

My first pram for my first born. Great colour selection with a lovely selection of matching products. The basket at the bottom is so big it hold so much in, perfect for a family day out. The carrycot wasn’t very big so my daughter wasn’t in it for long. - Strengths:

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 carrycot - Strengths:

Love this pram, it’s a lovely design and is easy to assemble. I do struggle to fit the carry cot in my boot of car without damaging pram so usually goes in the back seat. I’ve found moving around shops and town it has been easy to manoeuvre up and down the curbs and roads. - Strengths:

I absolutely love this pram.
I have used it for 13 months now and it’s so easy to use.
I have had so many compliments about how it looks and easy to steer etc.
My little girl loves being in it which says a lot as she is fussy in certain prams. - Strengths:

We love our Silvercross Travel System and love how it can be used from birth through to toddler age. My little boy always looked comfy in the carrycot due to the cushioned mattress base and now enjoys that he can forward face or rearward face in his seat attachment. I love how the car seat, carrycot and seat all clip into place so easily and how the pushchair it’s self is so easy to collapse down and assemble. The pushchair is well built and very sturdy which gave me comfort as a first time mum that my baby was safe. Would definitely recommend this travel system to all.
