Silver Cross Prams

Wow that's pretty cool (just watched the demo on their site - bit of a stroller addict here!). Can you buy them in NZ? I saw a lady with one of the huge old school ones a while back and was so curious as to the practicalities of the beast! But this one just looks like a cool, practical pram (although why bassinettes need to have hoods is beyond me). Sorry i'm not much help!

Mummyof2ofeach, do you find it hard to fold down and move around shops? I think I will go for htis pram however there are none in the south Island for me to try out I dont think, so will have to purchase sight unseen..... I have heard people complain about having to fold it down, and taking the main bassinet part off.

Yup you can get it through babyonthemove.co.nz :)

I dont find it hard to fold down. It is very light. You can take the bassinet/seat off to make is lighter when putting it into your car. You will need a bigger boot. I love having my babies faceing me. And i also love having them laying down in a bassinet when they are little.

I do not like the idea of tiny babies sitting up in carseats in those pram wheels. And i also dont like babies in a pram that only faces out and has hardly any padding. But thats just me.

I believe you get what you pay for. I like Quality.

Im sure there is babyonthemove in chch?? so they should be able to order one in for you to look at or try if they dont already have one?

Was not at all amed at you. The explore is a fantastic pram choice with the great option of being made a double and can also add a bassinet if someone would like that option. So sorry if i upset you

thanks for tips/words of wisdom ladies..I wasnt offended at all

Im on my 3rd baby
so well aware of all the warnings etc about capsules thats why I got the happi insert which fits under the capsule fabric and a prem head/body support from plunket as baby is expected to be between 6lb & 6lb6. The base also has 3 incline levels for small babies to keep them on the safest angle.

The Only reason I hired this time (as brought brand new both times for other children for safety reasosn) was because they were also brand new straight out of the boxes at the Plunket hire centre and the safety 1st click wheels - it is specially designed for the safety 1st designer brand new capsule they also gave me so its nice and reclined not upright position it "cliks/snaps" into the wheels very safely (without using a strap) just like it "clicks/snaps"into the base in the car.

I live in a small town 3-4min drive from the main street and usually you can get a park right outside the shop/bank you go into, so baby is not in the capsule for hours and hours like if you live in Auckland and have to drive across to a mall/shopping centre etc.

I also have the P&T & Coocoon basinette for longer trips/sleeps/walks

The silvercross looks beautiful, my main comment is that its alot of money to spend sight unseen and if I was buying it I would definately want to see it / have a play before I brought it, so it sounds great if you can.

this is a cute pram for the price, nothing on the silver cross but it lyes back beautifully / faces mum / adapts capsule

I have a P & T E3v2 with the doubles seat which I used for Miss 5 & Miss 3 combined when they were little.
I also brought a double side by side stroller (2nd hand) lay back for when they were 20m & newborn (P&T cocoon fitted snuggly as in newborn side and toddler could sit up) and I also had a snap & go for when older DD was at preschool and I juts had baby.

I did a lot of walking from home so liked to have the P&T at the front door ready to go at anytime and the side by side in the boot, I like the convience of options and not having to transfer prams in and out of car all the time.   Time is precious when you have little ones!

I have a five month old and started off with a Urban mountain buggy decided to sell it as it took up my entire boot. I bought online a silver cross surf, had never seen one in real life just videos and pictures on the net i am so happy i got it is the best purchase yet. It is one awesome pram it is so light and compact anyone who buys one I'm sure will not be disappointed. and you can buy accessory packs to change the color too
