Silver Cross 3D
The Silver Cross 3D is a rather robust umbrella stroller. The newborn insert that comes with the stroller can be attached to the seat in a lie-flat recline and forward-facing mode and allows to use the 3D from birth. The comfort the 3D in this mode offers is comparable to a conventional carrycot, and the stroller can be comfortably used in this "pram mode" until the baby is two to four months old. The Ventura car seat is also compatible, and there is no need to use any adapters. The name is inspired by its 3D telescopic folding system, which allows you to fold the buggy relatively compactly. The stroller can also be folded in the newborn 'pram' mode - with the seat (and all that is to it) still attached. Once folded, the stroller is able to stand by itself for better storage or transport. The stroller comes with a rain cover and a footmuff included. By unzipping the apron, the footmuff can be converted to a seat liner. The 3D was available in the basic 3D Classic version, and the modern 3D Vogue edition full of patterns.

Parent reviews of the Silver Cross 3D
- Folds compactly, even with the carrycot attached
- Lays flat
- Sturdy
- Warm apron included
- High-quality materials
- Higher price
- Small carrycot
- Higher weight
An umbrella stroller suitable from birth - probably the only one that folds (compactly) even with the 'carrycot' still attached. It's great to have in the car or for occasional use/trips - I wouldn't recommend it to have as an only stroller (at least not from birth). The carrycot extension is (for practical reasons) very small (up to 4 months maximum), but the stroller lays flat. So - when the baby grows out of the carrycot, it can lay flat in the seat - only drawback being, it will only face the world. The seat part is just right, size-wise.
I really liked the apron - we used it for both the carrycot and the seat configuration. Even the changing bag that hangs on the handlebars is nice - pretty and adequately sized. The shopping basket is large. Quality materials were used; the wheels are larger than those of conventional umbrella strollers, and gravel doesn't get in the foam at all.
Your questions about the Silver Cross 3D
Hi,
Can you tell me if the bumper bar comes off to wash the bumper cover, please?
Hey, Jenn,
Yes, the belly bar does come off, and the cover on it should come off, too, though not totally easily - so you should be able to slide it off for washing.
