2019 Silver Cross Wave and 2018 Silver Cross Wave Comparison

The luxurious Silver Cross Wave received upgrades both fashionable and functional in 2019.

The main update for the 2019 Wave: It's 3 pounds lighter than the previous model, addressing one of the top complaints about this sturdy, well-built stroller. Colors, accessories, and the Wave's included bassinet are changing for 2019, too.

(And the Wave isn't the only new Silver Cross stroller for 2019: The British manufacturer also launched the Coast, a competing convertible stroller that's lighter and less detailed than the Wave. Learn more in this Silver Cross Coast vs. Silver Cross Wave comparison.) Please note the Coast has since been discontinued.

Looking at newer models? Silver Cross upgraded the Silver Cross Wave again in mid 2024. The Wave 3 now has everything you need right from the start! The tandem sibling seat is included with purchase, and with optional accessories can even offer up to 30 modes in total!

2019 Silver Cross Wave vs. 2018 Silver Cross Wave Weight

The 2019 Silver Cross Wave is 3 pounds lighter than before, thanks to a slightly reduced wheel size with a redesigned inner foam structure. 

The total weight of the stroller chassis and toddler seat is 30.8 pounds for the 2019 model, compared to 33.3 pounds for the previous model—making the 2019 Wave easier to maneuver and lift into your car.

See below for the weights of each component of the 2019 Wave.

• Chassis only: 24.2 pounds
• Toddler seat: 6.6 pounds
• Bassinet: 7.3 pounds
• Total weight with chassis and toddler seat: 30.8 pounds
• Total weight with chassis and bassinet: 31.5 pounds

2019 Silver Cross Wave vs. 2018 Silver Cross Wave Colors

For 2019, Silver Cross is streamlining the color palette of the Wave by continuing its two most popular colors, Granite and Sable, and introducing one new color, Slate.

All three colors are gray-hued, with Granite being a true dark gray, Sable blending gray with brown tones, and Slate adding a hint of blue to its gray.

The Granite and Sable colors come with saddle tan leather details, while the leather details on the Slate stroller are a darker cocoa brown.

The 2018 Wave is available in four colors: Slate, Granite, Midnight Blue and Linen. If you love Midnight Blue or Linen, shop now—these colors have been discontinued for 2019.

2019 Silver Cross Wave vs. 2018 Silver Cross Wave Bassinet

The bassinet included with the Silver Cross Wave is deeper for the 2019 model, providing a little extra wiggle room for your growing baby. 

Approved for overnight sleeping, the Silver Cross Wave bassinet includes a quilted interior made with bamboo, a natural fiber that's antibacterial and helps control your baby's body temperature.

2019 Silver Cross Wave vs. 2018 Silver Cross Wave Accessories

For the 2018 Silver Cross Wave, car seat adapters for Cybex, Maxi-Cosi and Nuna car seats are included with purchase.

For the 2019 stroller, the same adapters are available but are now sold separately for $49.

Also new for 2019: a stand that elevates the Silver Cross Wave or Coast bassinet, making it safe and convenient for overnight sleeping in your home.

Otherwise, the 2019 Wave comes with all of the same included accessories as the previous model, including a bassinet, rain and bug covers, seat liner, lightweight footmuff and more.

2019 Silver Cross Wave vs. 2018 Silver Cross Wave Configurations

The 2018 Silver Cross Wave was advertised as offering 16 configurations that provide flexibility as your family grows. Now, Silver Cross showcases the 2019 Wave with nearly twice as many configurations as before.

But good news for parents buying either model: There are no functional differences between the models, so both the 2018 and 2019 strollers offer the same 30 configurations.

Silver Cross is simply advertising more options for the stroller, like adding the ride-along toddler board or positioning the toddler seat or bassinet higher onto the frame by flipping up the Wave's integrated upper adapters.

The Wave offers seven configurations out of the box, including a double stroller option with the toddler seat on the upper position and bassinet on the lower position.
