I love my Silver Cross Wave Stroller set. After endless comparing of strollers, travel systems and car seats, I decided the Silver Cross Wave set was the best choice for my new family, and I was right!
The bassinet is the real reason I picked the Silver Cross Wave. It's approved for overnight sleeping, which has come in handy so much.
But it's so much more than a place for my baby to snooze!
We absolutely love taking the baby for a stroll in the bassinet around our neighborhood, or the local parks. I like that my baby isn't strapped in her car seat, which is very confining, when we walk around. She has room to stretch out, and even take a nap if she wants.
The basket underneath is enormous, it's got plenty of room for my purse, her diaper bag, and there's pockets in the basket for the car seat attachments .
We get lots of compliments on it when we're out, which feels very validating. It's such a darling and unique way to get around.
We bought the matching bassinet stand and She still naps in the bassinet every day at almost 5 months old. It's extremely handy to have a bassinet on each floor of our house.
Our baby is too small for the stroller seat yet, but it looks so comfortable, I'm sure she will love facing the world in her big girl seat!
When we're ready to expand our family, we will already have a sturdy, stylish bassinet for a newborn, and a seat for first born. We'll be ready to hit the town!
Pros-
It's gorgeous and stylish! The tires and suspension are what won my husband over. It's 100% smooth sailing when we stroll around. The basket is enormous, I think it holds up to 30lbs of gear. The bassinet is not only cute, but multifunctional, the baby can stretch out and is comfier on walks that being in the car seat. Be ready for lots of compliments and admiring looks from other Mommies 🙂
A skateboard can be added for a bigger kid who's outgrown the stroller seat, so this is a fantastic choice for growing families.
Cons-
It's HEAVY, weighing in at over 30lbs! And it's bulky. I'm not sure how well everything will fit in a standard car, as opposed to an SUV. We have a Honda CRV, and the bassinet and stroller chassis take up the entire trunk area. You need lots of attachments to add a car seat, for the lower and upper positions.
The hardest part of picking out this travel system was finding a compatible car seat. We ended up picking the Cybex Aton M car seat, because that car seat works with Maxi-Cosi car seat adapters. But once we settled on the Wave, and the Aton M, everything works extremely well together.
Best for growing families! After your kid outgrows the stroller seat, you can add a skateboard that attaches
Best bassinet for looking and feeling great while strolling.
