Silver Cross - Breez Compact Stroller

I just pre ordered the breez! I was SO overwhelmed with stroller research and I didn’t know what we needed. I ended up getting the silver cross wave second hand on marketplace. I love the wave - it’s a beautiful stroller and we used the bassinet feature almost exclusively until he grew out of it. I started looking into more compact strollers because the wave is so big, and the fold is just not practical. The bassinet and the seat don’t fold so storage for the wave is a nightmare. The breez looks PERFECT - a gorgeous stroller, bassinet compatible for the next baby, and compact. Oh also - I got a Thule second hand for more rugged adventures. But I’m so excited for this stroller! I’m

I tried Breez in John Lewis and really liked it. I can’t decide between Nuna Triv NeXT and Breez. Read some reviews of Nuna breaking down the line and the poor customer service. The only thing I’m cautious about Breez is that it’s fairly new and there are not much reviews from parents.

I got the Breez after trying out Nuna and Uppababy strollers in store and realizing they’re just too heavy for my needs (in-and-out of the car a lot) or too light and lack features. The breez seems lighter and easier to carry and has most features the heavier options have and a folding bassinet which looks great plus lots of storage at the bottom.

I recommend checking out the Silver Cross Nia and Breez. Both have bassinets that fold neatly with the stroller, which is a really smart design. If you don’t want a separate bassinet, both seats also fully recline to lay flat and are 0+ months compatible. We live in a walkable city and will be traveling a lot to Europe and Asia (I’m from Europe, currently living in the US), so we’re leaning toward the Breez because it handles rougher terrain better. We also personally don’t want to get two strollers because we’re limited on storage and don’t want to spend money on something we won’t use much. Two other big pluses: the Breez seat can parent-face (which is often recommended when they’re very young), and you can adjust both the handle height and the seat or bassinet height. That’s been huge for us since my husband is 6'4" and I’m 5'4". We don’t need overhead-bin compatibility, but if you do, the Nia actually fits in the overhead compartment even with the bassinet on, which is kind of wild.

Due in august so I’ll be following this post for updates! First time mom so unsure of what I should be looking for in a stroller 😅 But I’m between the Nuna swiv and the Silver cross breeze! I did take a peek at the breeze in person and I liked that the handle is super adjustable and that the height of the bassinet/seat is adjustable as well since I’m 5’1 and my husband is 5’11.

I've just ordered this too - I'm a small person and I travel by public transport so really needed something lightweight and foldable. I realise this doesn't replace your own real life experience but I spent AGES in the shop folding and unfolding the pram with its various setup options, and rolling it around (including over obstacles lol) and I was really impressed with it! I compared it to several other similar prams as well as some more "all terrain" options (I also liked the Silver Cross Cove but the frame was just a bit too heavy) so I really put it through its paces. I'm in the UK and Silver Cross prams are very popular here, I see them everywhere.

I went to the Prego Expo in NYC this past weekend, and I was able to try out the Breez. I really enjoyed the fact that the bassinet is sleep approved, but it still folds down. Even though the bassinet is not used that long, being able to use it when traveling really appealed to me. It also looked really well made. The only other stroller I enjoyed was the Nuna Swiv, and even then the Breez is my top choice.

I preordered the Breez a couple of weeks & I am here on this post because of it LOL. I am SO excited. What sold me was the foldable bassinet. My obsessive stroller research had me really wanting a bassinet attachment over a carseat adapter, but hated how bulky it is to carry them around, especially the ones that are overnight sleep safe. My inlaws are out of state, so the sleep safe bassinet is going to be super convenient for when we travel. I also love how ventilated it is considering I live somewhere very hot in summer & I am due in July. It's also newborn safe without the bassinet so I feel like it's going to get great use for at least 3 years. My first born is almost 6 & I did not have the luxury to be this particular when I had him, so I splurged a little since a stroller is something you will use more often than other baby items!

I was set on the Venicci Tila until I saw the Silver Cross Nia and then very shortly after, the Breez. I'm pretty set on the Breez now. I don't have space to have a pram just sitting ready to go, so being able to fold it down even with the bassinet is probably the biggest selling point for me. Also it being sleep safe and compatible with a stand will be great for visiting family. It seems to be compatible with a fair few car seats (I'm thinking of going with the Cybex Cloud G for the 'lie flat' feature) The bag is lovely too 🤣

I think I might have watched the same video yesterday haha. They seem to be pretty similar in price, but this is very likely to be my only baby, so I'm thinking resale value 3 years down the line and I think Silver Cross is probably going to hold more value. That's what I'm going to tell my dad anyway because he's paying and that's the kind of thing that will sway him. I'm going to look at the Breez on Tuesday, I just need to see how it feels in person, but I'm pretty set on it.

I really loved the Breez — design, fold, features, all amazing. The only issue for me is the handle height 😭 I’m 5’11 and it feels a bit too short, so I can see it getting uncomfortable on longer walks. I might go with the Reef 2 mainly for the taller handlebar, but I’m honestly sad about it because I REALLY like the Breez otherwise.

The Breez is a mid-size stroller, so it’s lighter and has the folding bassinet feature (which is cool, but you only use the bassinet for about 5 months anyway). The Reef 2 is a full-size stroller, so it’s heavier, but it has bigger wheels, better suspension, and overall felt really well made when I tried it in store. The bassinet also collapses for storage. So the main difference seems to be the weight — the Reef is heavier but feels more durable (just my opinion). I’d definitely suggest trying them yourself! I researched strollers for about 5 months 😭 and once I tried them in person my list went from 6 to 2, and I realized I personally need a full-size stroller to be comfortable, so I stopped even looking at mid-size/travel ones.
