I have the Silvecross Dune 2 in the beige colour and honestly the bit that has got the most dirty is the black storage thing at the bottom of the pram. Literally covered in mud all the time. I have to clean it every damn weekend. The beige part on the rest of it is spotless
We skipped the bucket seat completely. We have used the same car seat from birth until now (almost 2) and will continue using it for years. It’s the baby jogger city turn. As for stroller, we got the silver cross dune because we live in a city and needed something durable but not too large. We got the bassinet attachment for it and whenever baby was in the stroller for months 0-3, he was in that bassinet. It was so great because I’m not a fan of having LO in the car seat for extended periods of time.
We got the silver cross exactly because of the bassinet option, it felt like such premium fabric. I was adamant about not using the car seat out of the car so the bassinet served us well.
We originally had the Silver Cross Dune, but it broke after 6 months and had a nightmare dealing with Silver Cross customer service. Honestly shocking given they're considered the "Rolls Royce" of prams. Eventually we got a refund, and switched to the Joolz Aer+ and have been so impressed with it - very small and light when it's folded, and the best folding mechanism I've come across on a pram. Can go in the overhead locker on a plane, and much easier to fold and more comfortable to push than the Yoyo. Also comes with a 10 year transferable warranty - which we've not had to test yet in the ~8 months we've had it, but gives me confidence that the company stands by their products. Honestly 20/10 pram, I really can't fault it, and unless you need off-road capabilities I honestly can't see why you'd go for anything else!
I also have a Kia picanto and I got a silver cross dune. I can fit the chassis and the nappy bag in the boot and then I have to put the bassinet or seat on the front seat and my boyfriend sits in the back with our daughter. It has small wheels so it is able to fit in the boot but it means it isn't great on rough terrain. When she was 9 months I got a silver cross pop which fits in the boot with the nappy bag as well. I use it in the summer or just for quick trips or rougher ground. My daughter is 21 months and we're still using the dune. I could see us getting a good bit more use out of it but I'm not due baby 2 in March so I have no idea what we're doing but I do know that I need a bigger car before then! 😅
TLDR baby is now 8 months and we've just swapped from a huge Silvercross pram to a lightweight, easy to fold Maxi Cosi pram. We bought a Silvercross travel system on FB marketplace for £100. The seller had barely used it, it had every single accessory you could think of, bassinet, car seat, all the rain covers, etc. It's been brilliant for the last 8 months, but we've been fed up of it taking up the entire boot, so we've picked up a Maxi Cosi Lara 2 (apparently suitable from newborn) new in the prime day sales for £130. I'll resell the Silvercross pram as although the wheels now have some wear, it's in otherwise excellent condition.
I used this for a holiday abroad when my baby was 6 months and he got on really well with it. It was super light yet not flimsy and he napped great in it. I have a Silvercross travel system which I love but I use the Joie from time to time as a lighter option. I think it’s really good for £50 if OP doesn’t want to spend much
We got a second hand Silvercross travel system (I can't remember the exact model) and we used that from birth until our daughter stopped using it at about 2.5y. I think if she was going to use it for longer we would have got a lightweight pushchair.
We have the trvl for keeping in the car and popping out with the baby and the vista for neighborhood walks. I love them both for their different functions! I will say, when I was a nanny and one of the families I was with for a long time had me keep their silver cross travel stroller with me for the baby. It was fine for walking outside but we had to replace the wheels way more frequently than their big stroller because they aren’t meant for too much outdoor walking.
