SilverCross Strollers

I live in the middle of a city, but I spend most of the weekends visiting my parents at their farm in Vermont, so I bought the Silver Cross S4 Stroller because it could go from city to country without giving me any grief. The S4 stroller is a three wheel deign. At first, I was doubtful that the Silver Cross S4 would be sturdy enough, but I ended up liking the 3 wheel chassis a lot. Three wheels mean the Silver Cross S4 is very agile and easy to maneuver through busy streets. I can usually push the S4 stroller with one hand, leaving my other arm free for a drink or chatting on the phone.

The Silver Cross S4 performs equally well at my parent’s place. My mom and dad love to take me son for long walks along the dirt road that runs the perimeter of their property. I was concerned at first because the road can be quite bumpy, but the Silver Cross S4 has great suspension, and my son actually slept through his first ride around the farm. Unlike some other all-terrain strollers I have seen, the Silver Cross S4 has puncture proof tires so I don’t have to worry about broken glass in the city or barbed wire at the farm.

Since I spend a lot of time traveling with my son, I opted to get the Silver Cross Ventura Plus car seat to go with the S4 stroller. Oftentimes I need to run errands while my son is napping, so I appreciate being able to push him around in the Silver Cross S4 without waking him up. When my son was very young, I also used the Ventura Plus car seat to turn the S4 stroller into a makeshift pram.

I have found Silver Cross to be a great company. The S4 stroller came with a lot of extras I didn’t expect like a foot muff, a ventilated rain cover, and a diaper bag/changing mat combo that matches the stroller. The foot muff and the rain cover are both great for pushing the S4 stroller around in cold and wet weather. My son is usually warmer than I am when we come in during the winter.

The only flaw with the Silver Cross S4 is that it can be tricky to fold in the beginning, and I don’t think it would fit easily in the trunk of a very small car. Overall, I recommend the Silver Cross S4 to anyone that wants a stroller that can go anywhere.
