I chose this pram for my little baby boy and I really like it. It is a lovely looking pram and easy to assemble the different pieces, fold down and put up. It is quite large so a big car boot is needed and I had to keep the carry cot on my back seat but not a problem as I only have one child. - Strengths:

Have been very impressed with this pushchair! After having a baby that only really slept if he was outside and on a walk, I have certainly had my usage out of it! My son is nearly two and we still use it most days for dog walks and getting about and apart from obvious wear and tear that you would expect, it has lived up to what I wanted and needed it for and am confident it will see me through a child number 2! - Strengths:

Overall it is an excellent pram, stylish and comfortable. This was an excellent first pram for my daughter who was able to move up into the seat part of the pram from around five months as it supported her well. - Strengths:

I brought the whole package of this pushchair which was over £1000, it is such a beautiful looking parm but really isn’t that practical as it’s really big and also the straps for the pushchair part are so big they don’t even fit my 18month old nephew! I’d definitely change it if I could - Strengths:

It’s a beautiful product, very comfortable and cozy for baby and also for toddler, only problem is it’s size, it’s too bulky and heavy. When I store this in my car boot there’s hardly anything else I can put.

I love my silver cross and glad I bought it for my second baby. It’s easy to push and the carry cot is very comfortable. It’s also large so lasts longer for newborns to around 4-5 months. - Strengths:

Couldn’t be happier, silvercross offer separate colour packs therefore if you ever want to change the colour or reuse for another child this is a great option. Works well on uneven surfaces and the wheels lock with ease. Large basket, not much room to fit items between the gao while bassinet is in use however this is only for short periods of time. Hood comes with additional sun visor, vent and peep hole flap. Adaptors needed to fit the car seat on but is quick and easy to do. Easy to fold and unfold. Large frame therefore must check the boot space if you have a car. The wheels are easy to detach which can save space. I have fit 2 silver cross prams in an suv by removing the wheels. - Strengths:

I had set my heart on this pushchair from the moment I found out I was pregnant as it was one of the few that had a great height adjustable handle as both me and my husband are very tall with that it doesn’t disappoint. There are many good points to this pushchair like it’s sturdy, simple to put together, easy to switch between the carrycot, seat and car seat and while you need both hands to put it down it takes two seconds. The shopping basket is one of the biggest I’ve seen which comes in handy if you don’t drive (it’s not as easily accessible with the carrycot on) and it glides across pavements beautifully. However it isn’t particularly great on anything that isn’t smooth ie grass or uneven paths.
The carrycot is very deep and well padded so could be used as a place for your baby to sleep if you wanted to save money on a Moses basket but my son has already outgrown it and he’s only 16 weeks and the recommended age for the seat is 6 months it’s also not easy to clean and the mattress cover has already got bobbly bits on. The downfalls of this pushchair are that you can’t push it one handed easily which if you’ve got another child or lots of shopping would prove to be annoying and that it’s a very bulky frame which doesn’t fold down that small and when using the carrycot as that also doesn’t fold down it takes up the entire space of my Ford Fiesta boot. As much as I do love this pram I don’t think I would recommend it to a friend purely as I don’t think it’s worth the money it costs for everything. - Strengths:

Absolutely love this pram. We’ve used it since my LO was a newborn and can’t complain. I goes on all sorts of different terrains when walking the dog and handles them all really well. It’s very comfortable for the LO. I love that the baby can recline in 3 positions in forward and rear facing modes. - Strengths:

I loved this buggy when my daughter was in her car seat and I could simply take her seat out of the car and clip onto the adaptors it folds easily.
Now she's older and using the seat I find it more bulky and a bit of a pain as I like her parent facing this means I have to take the seat off then fold the pram and them put both in the boot separately.
I also found that quiet often the wheels buckle when going up curbs. - Strengths:

Great product, I chose this pram knowing I wanted two children close together knowing I could change the colour of the pram rather than have to choose a neutral colour. I love the pioneer I was advised to go with pioneer over the wayfarer for our lifestyle and so glad I went with the advice given. - Strengths:

I was drawn to how comfortable this looked for baby, with the soft edge around the carrycot. It was also ideal as a long lasting pram. The base itself is sturdy. We had a problem with ours when it bent a little, Silver Cross repaired it for free and within 2 days. The basket is enormous, great for making sure you have everything you need with room for your shopping! You can also buy adaptors to add any car seat onto the base. A great all rounder. - Strengths:

I love my slivercross, I have it in the sand colour. As we didn't know what we are having. We have the all the extras that comes with the pram and it's all so easy to use. It's a quilts pram that is very sterdy. It's build to last. - Strengths:

Love this pushchair. Massive basket (can store a weeks worth of shopping!) Easy to use and long lasting. My son is 21months old and we use it everyday and I'm planning on using it with baby no 2. Only issue we had was that the rain over zip broke and silver cross replaced it immediately. - Strengths:

I fall in love with this buggy since i was pregnant with my son and i finally decided to buy it for him. It is very comfortable, i live the little matress that has got for the first months.
I am not a fan of using the car seat when pishing the baby as i think is not very comfortable, especially for long walks.
I love that i can change the colours, for the first 3 months we had the sand pack and then we change it on blue. It also has that padded cushion when using the pushchair.
Large storage basket, which is very useful when you go shopping.
The downfall is the sunshade...the canopy doesn't cover as much as needed.

I’ve enjoyed using this pram, it is definitely made to last with its strong frame and I feel this was very safe for my baby. Very easy to convert the carry cot and car seat. The pram is easy to steer although I did find it quite difficult to tip the pram to go up a kirb etc. The basket is a fantastic size however I found that I needed to take the carry cot off in order to put my belongings in which could be quite difficult when out shopping. I ended up using the car seat when shopping for easier access to the basket. The pram looks beautiful and I felt proud to push it along, the changing bag is a fantastic accessory also. The size of the pram is great although you do need a decent size boot to travel with it. All in all, I absolutely love the Silver Cross Pioneer. - Strengths:

We went to trial out different travel systems and this one caught our eyes straight away because of the quality finish, the price was great too. I found the buggy to be very sturdy and the basket underneath is huge. It is easy to change from car seat, carry cot and pushchair just using the adaptors, although i would have liked one adaptor for all rather the one for the car seat and on for the carrycot. My baby used the carry cot until 6 months as it is nice and spacious and then moved into the pushchair at 6 months, just like advertised. Over all the travel system was beautiful and i was extremely happy with it and so was th baby, she always looked comfortable . - Strengths:

The solver cross pioneer is an excellent product, it is durable, safe, easy to fold, easy to steer and provides sufficient comfort for baby and looks good. The only downfall is that it is very large which makes it difficult to store and is a struggle to get it into most car boots. - Strengths:

I absolutely couldn't recommend this pram anymore. I have had quiet a few prams with my first and never found one I really loved. The pioneer however has not let me down at all. It's easy to put up, easy to fold down and put in the car. My daughter loved it as never had a problem going in to the pram or car chair. It's so easy to just add the adapters and click on the car chair and go, especially on the school run. I can't fault the steering and I've not seen any signs of wear yet. I will 100% be keeping this pram for if I have another baby in the future. - Strengths:

This pushchair is great and easy to use it's pretty basic and my baby seems very comfortable in it. But the carry cot barely lasted for her as it became too small quite quickly. I find it quite heavy in weight also compare to others however you do get used to it. - Strengths:
