Silver Cross - Wave 3

We have the Wave from 2022 and absolutely love it. We now have a 2.5 year old and a 12 week old and use it regularly. Love the high weight limit as well. Only complaint is when you have it set up with 2 kiddos, the bassinet can’t sit in the top position with the adaptors we have. The only work around is to buy another seat, whereas the new version allows this. Definitely worth every penny though!

Also - want to add we use the bassinet/bassinet stand a ton in the first few weeks with our babies!! Another complaint I remembered is the bassinet doesn’t fold down for travel. Their new travel stroller does though

We went with the Vista V3. I was so keen on the silver cross wave, for the same reason being the bassinet at the top and double configuration. when I saw it in person the fold is terrible, I also live in Queensland and the silver Cross just seemed way too warm and padded for our weather, remembering that it really is built for European weather. Weight of the prams wasn’t really an issue for me. I haven’t found any of them overly heavy. The only challenge I had was post C-section. They are heavy other than anything you were supposed to be lifting but that would’ve been an issue with pretty much any pram.

I’m not sure stroller compatible + 360 + used lasts while toddler exists. We went for the first two of those three. We got the maxi-cosi pebble 360 with the isofix base. It not only swivels but also pulls out towards you to make it extra easy to access. We then got the extra adapters for the silver cross wave and could use them together. Was really nice when he was younger to be able to buckle him in while in the house and then just lock the entire seat in instead of me having to bend over post c-section to strap him in. We’ll need a different seat once my son is over 13kg but it uses the same isofix base.

We did something similar. I have a silver cross wave as our every day buggy for cobblestone streets or going out into the country and then have a Babyzen yoyo for travel

I’d absolutely get a compact stroller for travel as well. We got a similar stroller to you (the silver cross wave) as it’s sturdy and good for all terrain but it barely folds down. We can take it on vacations where we drive but no way we’d do it by plane. We got a Babyzen yoyo secondhand at half price to use when travelling and it’s been brilliant being able to take it onboard the plane with us.

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.

Just had our first (5mo). Got a silver cross wave and whilst it’s a nice pram I regret it, wish we got a single. I’m a tall, big guy so the weight isn’t that much of a problem but it is for my wife. Aside from that, in our x trail this thing takes up so much space it’s a bit ridiculous. Finally, they’ve discontinued our colour so I can’t even buy a matching second seat when it’s needed. Wish we got a single to begin with. 100% would change.

The Silver Cross Wave has been a great stroller for us! Easy to steer with a heavy toddler on the front and has a bassinet option for baby

You're going to have trouble with this for multiple reasons. 1. Budget - $500 is pretty low for a durable stroller. Most will be closer to $700-$1200. Although I did see that Thule Urban Glide 2 is on sale at Amazon right now for under $500 2. Purpose - jogging, travel, compact, all terrain, newborn-toddler, single, double, tandem... there are a million types of strollers that all serve a different purpose. Those purposes may seem silly now, but they do matter. 3. Kids' preferences - your kid may HATE whatever stroller you choose making it a total waste of money. Like I got a single stroller that could be converted into a double (SilverCross Wave). My first loved it. Used it everywhere, then my second came and they DESPISED being front/back. We had to buy a side-by-side stroller so they could see each other (Zoe Twin) - -Another note is that a lot of jogging strollers (which is what you should look at if you want all-terrain), are meant to only be used from 6-9+ months. You may be able to find one with a car seat adapter, but not a newborn bassinet. Jogging strollers will also be heavier, bulkier, and not fold as compactly - so make sure it will fit in your car or home storage. The good news is there are always a ton of jogging strollers available used on FB marketplace. I've gone through 5 strollers and wagons in three years (SilverCross Wave, SilverCross Jet, Wagonfold W4, Zoe Twin, and a jogging stroller) My recommendation would be to get a travel stroller that has a lay-flat seat and is compatible with your newborn car seat, get through postpartum, let baby develop some head control, and THEN get a jogging stroller. I also recommend going to a local baby store and actually try pushing whichever stroller you get in person before purchasing!

Silver cross wave. We have an uppababy vista and while I love it I don't love that I HAVE to buy a $300 rumble seat to have two kids sitting in it. It's infuriating that I can't put the toddler seat on the bottom and a newborn on the top!

I just commented in favour of the Wave but yes this is true… not an easy lift into the boot

We wanted a single to double option, and ended up with the silver cross wave 3 with the clek liing infant seat. The silver cross wave is sturdy and perfect for walks, but it takes up tons of space in the trunk. So we’re buying a silver cross travel stroller to allow us to be more mobile. Of all the single to double options, the wave has the most reasonable option of toddler up front and baby closer to the parent up top.

Silver cross wave 3 for daily driver (planning on having 3 and we never fold it), silver cross clic for travel (airplanes, subway and cars). Car seat is nuna pipa rx. Stellar all around so far, no complaints
