with my son this is the 5th pram iv had and its the worst of them all

cup holder footmuff and rain cover
the weels and the squeeky noises from them. hard to push.
the silver cross pop is hard to push it wants to go the other way than you do weels squeek every time thay move. i got a silver cross pram thinking thay are the best you can get and i am not happy at all with it the cost was £135. i could have got 2 cheep prams for that and i would have been better doing that. i got it thinking that it would last till my son was walking full time with out taking a pram with me and now i think i might need to get an other one for the next year mine is only 10 months old and its ready for the bin. so unhappy with silver cross. if you get one take out the free extra year guarantee and a can of wd40 you will need them.

does the job but has faults

It lies right back and has view window.
the worst for me is the breaks scrape upstairs (i have 3 flights)and you need both hands to fold it.the cozy toes doesnt fit right,the basket is pretty useless,the rain cover is a struggle to put on and is to small and it is not a smooth push.
I wouldn't buy it again i was really dissapointed,I had a mclaren with my first and it was the best buggy ever (wish id kept it).It's really difficult to steer in windy weather you need to really hold on to it or it blows about and you feel every bump on the pavment.It does look pretty and baby seems comfortable.The foot rest can also be adjusted so baby can have feet up.

im not entirly happy with this product

solid frame
nice big wheels
you cant bump the pram down the steps as the brakes get in the way, the handles aren't extendable, the hood always seems lobsided from the veiw of the person pushing it..my little 1 always seems to slip dwn i have to keep sitting er up
i wouldnt of really of bought this pram but i got a great deal, now i know why i got such a good deal. i prefer the maclarens as i had 1 for my eldest daughter..

It's Silver Cross, but it's disappointing!!

It folds down to a reasonable size,
it is made from durable material,
and it has multi position reclining.
You can't bump it down steps as the brake is in the way,
the handles are way too high and can't be adjusted,
the seat/foot rest is very flimsy and does not allow your child to sit comfortably in any position,
the wheels wear quickly and
the 5 point harness continually slips and needs tightening.
I really wanted a Silver Cross stroller as I have always heard how good their products are, but I was so disappointed with this stroller. I ended up selling it and buying a Quinny Zapp, which I could not be happier with and my daughter loves it so much she cries when I try to take her out!!
I would sadly not recommend this to anyone.

NOT THE BEST FOR THE MONEY

Not too heavy and folds up easily. Comfortable for toddler and lies back almost flat.
Brakes stick out past back of wheels so catches every itme you go up/down steps. Rain cover coes not cover feet of toddler and can be kicked off as only held at bottom by velcro.
Mine had a fundamental flaw in manufacturing and was repaired twice at factory only to be written off!! Not reliable and wheels wear easily and axles break at the slightest bump!!
