Silver Cross - Clic Compact Lightweight Stroller

Just updating for anyone who may be in the market for this in the future, the Silver Cross Clic and Jet 5 do fully recline, including the ones in the US market as well.

The better it is on uneven terrain/inclines the less foldable and heavier it’s going to be. You’ll have to decide if you want to split the difference and get something in the middle or get two. We ended up getting two. We have a silver cross one that barely folds down and is relatively heavy but it’s incredibly sturdy, has great suspension, a massive basket and has been taken on many a countryside walk across mud, gravel, rocks etc. We then also have a yoyo for travel that folds down small enough to go in the overhead compartment in a plane.

I’ve literally never seen them there and I spent many hours there trying to convince myself I needed and could afford a Bugaboo. (Surprise to no one, I didn’t and I couldn’t! Lol) Nuna, Uppababy, Silver Cross, Thule, Doona, Joolz, Cybex, sure. Chicco? Never. Maybe this is a new development? 🤷🏻‍♀️

My youngest is 11 months and we’ve just gotten rid of our big pram and have a Silver Cross Clic now. We live in a terraced house with a small hallway so the big pram was doing my head in! Not missing it at all, the Clic is easy to fold and push.

We got a lot of stuff from buy nothing groups on Facebook and hand me downs. We splashed out on a Silver Cross Stroller and an Owlet monitor. We got a changing table and rocking chair from Ikea, and then went midrange on Philips Avent for bottles and steriliser / warmer. We got a BabyBjorn carrier and bouncer, a Lovevery play mat, Halo Bassinest, Boppy cushions all as hand me downs and Facebook buy nothing. We bought a second hand Nuna car seat from a very trusted friend in an almost new condition. I got my pump through our insurance.

just spent a month researching. my takeaway: Nuna - loved this one the most (mixx or trvl xl) but all of the carseats/accesories make it extra pricey. my fav uber premium option uppababy- i found these all to be kind of rigid and too large. didn't like the vibe but its obvs popular mockingbird - decided on this one and so far love the balance of quality and price point. truly feels strong but also premium, while not being huge, and almost all the features feel obvious instead of buried silver cross - if you really want to go with the most premium it is indeed very nice. graco Modes nest - solid budget option. felt a little on the light/fragile side for me but if lightweight with versatility is important, this one isn't bad at all bugaboo - maybe the one i tried was a janky floor model but i didn't think it was smooth at all. nuna/mock crushed it

I went with the Silver Cross stroller and Clek car seat. I’m not delivering my baby until Monday, so mostly I have just used the stroller for training my dog to walk next to it. But I will say that thing is STURDY and beautiful. The car seat is installed and also seems extremely safe. I’m happy with both so far and love the non toxic materials. The stroller might be a little bulky for errands going in and out of the car a lot, so I may opt to baby wear.

Before you decide on the Uppababy…really play with it in person. I felt it was efficient on how it collapse/opens and was still very bulky. I remember there being pinch points when collapsing as well. I was researched and played with Uppababy, Nuna Triv/Swiv/Mixx, and Silver Cross strollers. Ultimately ended up with the Nuna Swiv with no regrets.

We have the clic, got to second hand on fb and that thing get thrown around!! Very few cabin approved ones go in the cabin as they end up as part of your hand luggage allowance. We hair gate check it and then get it back at baggage reclaim. Take a sling or carrier for passport control as it’s rare you get it back before then, some airport have buggy’s you can borrow but generally not suitable for tiny babies. We don’t take our bugaboo fox as one it’s bulky so a hire car would be a nightmare and two they throw the luggage around and I wouldn’t want it to get damaged. If you take your car seat please put it on a ox and pad it out ( nappies, towels, maybe some clothes you need to take 😉). I’ve seen a number of car seats on the luggage carousel damaged because of airport handlers.

It doesn’t fit in the Ryanair/easyjet/jet2 ones. It does fit just in the BA but we honestly have never taken it on board because we use our hand luggage allowance for bags and have the buggy as one of the 2 baby items under 2s are allowed to take.

Nope. Bugaboo Fox, good for winter (live in cold country) and rugged terrain. Possible to put carseat on it. Our travel stroller is Silvercross Clic
