Silver Cross Wave pushchair review

Johanna Hewitson and her three-month-old daughter put the Silver Cross Wave pushchair to the test. 

If you're looking for a highly robust but seriously luxurious pram that can cope with not one but two newborn babies, look no further. The Silver Cross Wave pushchair is one of the best prams you can buy for a newborn (opens in new tab).

Design

Weighs: 17.7kg | Suitable for: birth - 25kg (approx. 6 years)

The Silver Cross Wave is a pram in a league of its own. Every detail is beautiful and luxurious and although it's expensive, you really feel that you're buying the very best quality for your baby. The Wave is thoughtfully designed with stylish attention to detail. The patented seat elevation brings your baby that little bit closer to you, and the huge number of possible seating configurations makes this impressively versatile, whether you're planning to use it for siblings, twins, or just one little bundle of joy. We particularly like the naturally anti-bacterial bamboo fabrics inside the carrycot and on the reversible seat liner.

Features

Prams don't get more versatile than the Silver Cross Wave. The carrycot is suitable for overnight sleeping and comes with a carrycot stand, so it's perfect for overnight trips away from home. The Silver Cross Wave is compatible with the Silver Cross Simplicity or Dream car seats, and the pram's seat unit has multiple recline positions and can be rearward-facing or parent-facing, The handlebar is height adjustable – brilliant if you and your partner aren't the same height – and the adjustable leg rest makes this extra comfy for naps on the go. The lockable front swivel wheels and dual wheel suspension make light work of any terrain.

Value for money

The price of the Silver Cross Wave reflects the craftsmanship and quality of the materials used. Yes, it's an expensive pram, but it's a true investment.

"As a mum to a toddler and a baby, the Silver Cross Wave certainly ticks all the boxes for me," says our tester Johanna Hewitson, mum to Georgia, three months. "The fact you can use the stroller seat and carrycot together gives this the edge over other prams. It's such good quality and the finishing touches are very impressive."
