The Silver Cross 3D Pram stands out for being convertible. First of all it is remarkably lightweight and just with a few clicks and swivels, this system can be converted from a pram into a pushchair in a few mere seconds. The 3D Pram folds down to a compact profile making it easy to store in small areas, such as your car’s boot or a closet at home. This baby travel system is designed in a way to be suitable for all stages of infanthood with its fully padded mattress and infant pram liner. And if that is not enough you can also complement your luxury pram with a wide variety of accessories that Silver Cross offers, such as car seats and carrycots. With all these features packed into one sleek and elegant package, it’s no wonder why the Silver Cross 3D is a best-selling pram system.

Silver Cross Surf Pushchair and Pram Review

The Silver Cross Surf
The Silver Cross Surf pushchair and pram is a baby travel system that’s been favoured by many parents in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. The Surf underwent a long development stage to ensure the highest quality; the development stage took 2 years and it was finally released on March of 2010. Silver Cross Surf eventually became one of the company’s most notable bestsellers. According to Phil Taylor, design director of Silver Cross, the Surf was meant to be a new take on pram and pushchair design after questioning the look and feel of traditional transport systems.

However, the real question is, is the Silver Cross Surf any different?

If there’s one thing one notices after removing the Surf from its box and packaging, it’s that it’s remarkably sturdy despite its compact size. Right from there, the Surf exudes quality and class, from its construction, fabrics and overall look. 

Features
As far as features are concerned, the Surf does not disappoint. It comes with a myriad of functions and perks. For starters, there is a baby nest insert for baby’s maximum protection and comfort, a reclining seat unit making it suitable from birth, thick lining for comfort, and forks in the front and back for unimpeded movement and more. The Surf gets its name from its air-sprung suspension system designed to ensure a smooth ride on varying terrain—whether its sand, grass or concrete, this system will “surf” through it all. 

Add-ons
The Surf is also compatible with a number of accessories to make it more mobile and versatile. The Silver Cross Ventura Plus, a thickly lined universal car seat, can be easily clipped to the Surf’s chassis to make it a full travel system. An optional Silver Cross carrycot functions the same way. 

Chassis
The Silver Cross Surf also stands out for its ultra-lightweight chassis, which weighs in at a mere 7.5 kilograms. As a full buggy system, it tips the scales at 11.3 kilograms, while the addition of the beefy car seat increases its weight to 12.2 kilograms. The secret for the Surf’s lightness is its magnesium alloy construction, which is even lighter than aluminium. The material is commonly used on the bodies of airplanes and luxury sports cars—a fitting connection considering the Surf’s space age design. Despite being light, the magnesium alloy is strong and durable, capable of withstanding bumps and frequent travel. Finally, the chassis folds down to a small footprint and can be fitted into a small boot. 

Verdict 
The Silver Cross Surf is a modern travel system that’s a joy to manoeuvre and comfortable for your baby. It’s a little pricey compared to other strollers on the market, but quality is assured when it comes to Silver Cross, so parents are really going to get their money’s worth.
