Height of the handle was very important for us. If you're tall, it's hard to find one that suits. We went for Cossato Wow XL and loved it. Had a Silvercross Wayfarer and that worked too
We got a cheap silver cross travel pram off fb. We’ve had it nearly 2 years and it was probably 2 years old when we got it. It’s been on probably 10 trips and it’s just this week sustained its first damage on a jet 2 flight.
Will 100% be doing the same thing again and buying on fb to replace it.
I would not take our expensive and large bugaboo on a flight for fear it would get damaged.
If you take your car seat make sure it is well wrapped
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.
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.
Cx3 and using a redsbaby skip 3. Although I should mention that’s our secondary pram and only for indoor use eg at the shops, main pram is a silver cross that goes in my partner’s car
I've been using a silver cross pram and we've took that thing up on mountain hikes with crap paths, through swampy grass and all sorts. We bought it second hand as well so it had already been well used. I'm not even sure how it's still standing and yet it continues to surprise us. It comes with different bits likes a moses basket style, then transfers into a buggy and has a car seat and there's different types for lightness. Couldn't recommend enough, I'm pretty sure at this point if my house set fire, it would survive 😂
