Silver Cross - Pop Pushchair

I don't have the Clic but I do have the Pop. The pop is a more traditional strolller than the clic. While the clic is sleaker and folds smaller, I personally feel the pop is superior. The main pros of the pop for me are that it lies completely flat, this is amazing for naps and sleep on holidays. It also has an extendable UV50 hood, and the hood comes all the way right down on the pop, so the baby is completely covered. It also sits super upright, which your little one might prefer as they get older. I've used my pop for holidays since my little one was 3 months old. (It's suitable birth to 4). He's now 2.5, and we still love it. We've taken it on holiday abroad 5 times and it's been great, it does have to go in the hold but we put it into a bag at the gate, then we used a baby carrier while ye was super small until we got it back at baggage collection. I would personally highly recommend going and seeing both in person if you can.

I've travelled a lot with my son and I don't have a cabin friendly stroller. I've always handed mine over at the gate / steps of the plane and then its collected the other side with checked/hold luggage. I also don't use a parent facing one for travelling. But I use the silver cross pop. The main 2 reasons are it lies completely flat so is great for naps and sleeping in the evenings and it has a huge hood that is also UV protective so I've never had to get anything additional to protect from the sun.

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

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.

Yeah we had a Hauck and while it worked fine, once I tried a Silver Cross I realised the difference in quality. I won't go back to cheap ones. The handling is so much better, the folding and assembly is better, the suspension so he can actually sleep in it when we're out. I walk everywhere as I don't drive, and I realised that if this is our main mode of transportation, it should be one that is worth it. I got a secondhand silver cross on FB Marketplace for about the same as the Hauck cost. I couldn't buy a new one as I can't spend £600-1000 on a pushchair, but if you look around online you can find ones in great condition
