Silver Cross - Jet Travel Series

We never used our vista again after babe 2 came. Little got worn and we got a Silver Cross Jet travel for the big. We are heading on our first Disney trip soon and rented the Zoe twin and I’m excited to try it/compare it to how good the silver cross is before committing to the price of the jet double!

The Vista isn’t manageable anywhere except for the garage for stroller walks. It really is the most cumbersome, overhyped stroller on the market. Travel stroller vote here too: we love the jet 5 by silver cross!

Having just purchased a travel stroller, we looked at the stokke yoyo, bugaboo butterfly, uppababy minu v3, silvercross jet 5, and joolz aer -- all comply with most overhead cabin sizing. I would recommend also purchasing the stroller case/carrier so it looks more like a standard carry-on. Some airline staff might make you gate-check regardless of size once they see that it is a stroller. Having the cover/case will reduce that issue.

I have it and I have another travel stroller. It’s mostly good with good wheels but I don’t think it lies down flat enough like the other I have ( silvercross jet ) also the basket is def big enough but I find the seat just to be too short and not long enough.

I got a silver cross jet 5 - light weight (7.5kg), folds up the size of cabin luggage for air travel, I live in a city so I don't really need off roading. Suitable from birth up to 4 years.

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.

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

Doona is soo overrated, dont bother. That thing is just an infant carseat on flimsy wheels and short handle. Its a little convenient, but after 6-12 months (usually before 12), it becomes 100% obsolete, and you still have to go buy a new convertible carseat, AND an actual stroller. The doona money is just evaporated into nothingness and is essentially wasted. Ive gone deep into the rabbit hole of budget mid tier, to high end travel systems, and ended up choosing a high end quality one that can last a long time. Top brands consist of Silvercross, Uppababy, Nuna, Bugaboo, and even Cybex. 1st is the selection of single strollers with all bells and whistles. Heres my top selections. You can go into a research binge into each one to really sort out the minor differences. Nuna mixx next, Uppababy Cruz, Bugaboo Fox5, and Silvercross Reef2. 2nd is single to double strollers..these usually have a bulky frame but many people like these so they can adapt to having 2 different aged children on the stroller, and can be useful for twins too. Uppababy Vista v3, Nuna Demi next, Silvercross Wave3, Bugaboo Donkey 3rd and lastly is the category for very lightweight and easy/small folding which can be used for traveling..the travel stroller. Joolz aer+, Bugaboo Butterfly, uppababy minu3, the babyzen Yoyo3, silvercross Jet5.

Silver cross travel prams are great as they took over microlite which was essentially a purely travel brand. We have tried travel cod and pram. Both great and compact.

I went with the Silver Cross stroller and Clek car seat. I’m not delivering my baby until Monday, so mostly I have just used the stroller for training my dog to walk next to it. But I will say that thing is STURDY and beautiful. The car seat is installed and also seems extremely safe. I’m happy with both so far and love the non toxic materials. The stroller might be a little bulky for errands going in and out of the car a lot, so I may opt to baby wear.

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.
