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

I have a Silvercross Wave. Pros: similar price range to Uppababy vista but you get everything (2 seats, 1 bassinet) so it works out cheaper, double pram, bassinet can go up top, seats are full size so toddlers won't grow out of them so fast, massive basket, it's sturdy and I never feel like it's going to tip over, so many seat configurations, seats can recline if you're blessed with a baby that sleeps in the pram, there is a skateboard attachment you can buy, brake is solid Cons: it's heavy but I was ok with that because of how sturdy it is, two handed fold down but I do find it easy enough, you don't have to but I take the seat off to fold down so it's not so heavy lifting into the car, sun shades aren't long enough and we do lots of walking in the Qld sun so I feel like the sun is always getting in, after sales service is almost non existent. Overall I love it and would recommend it, but I am looking at a side by side double for walks only. I love the Bugaboo sun shades and I like the idea of babies side by side but I don't want a big side by side pram when I'm out shopping.

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.

Never been happy with Silvercross. We’ve had the Silvercross full bundle - car seat was rubbish and the pram was heavy and impractical. Rucksack and hand warmers were a nice touch. I would avoid any Silvercross products based on my experience. We’ve had the Bugaboo double (side by side, called donkey I think?!) - it’s good but a bit unwieldy, Doona one that converts to a car seat (useful but heavy and uncomfortable for child), Babyzen yo-yo (useful for travel but limited) and the Joolz aer which is great for travel (can get on a plane) and more versatile than the Babyzen so it can be used more like a normal pram - it’s been my favourite travel pram. On a side note, the Cybex car seats that rotate are amazing.

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 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

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.
