Silver Cross Pioneer
The Silver Cross Pioneer is a variable, lightweight stroller system with a high weight capacity. Thanks to the elegant, chrome chassis equipped with rubber wheels with suspension, the Pioneer can even handle a bit of off-road - and of course, all of the urban surfaces.
The simple-to-use brake can be activated by pushing one side and deactivated by pushing the other. When shopping, you will appreciate the massive shopping basket. The Base Pack you get when buying the Pioneer consists of a chassis, a reversible bucket-type seat unit, a foldable carrycot, the Simplicity car seat adapters, and a rain cover. To complete the set, you have to get the color-coordinated hood and apron set available separately. By swapping the set for a different color and/or reversing the seat liner, you can customize your Pioneer.
The hood with an additional pop-out sun visor, the bumper bar, and the apron are shared between the carrycot and the seat unit, the same as with the Wayfarer model. Premium editions, such as the Pioneer Special Edition Eton Grey, the Pioneer Special Edition Expedition, and the Pioneer Special Edition Henley, already come with the hood, apron, seat liner, and changing bag included.

Best Deals for Silver Cross Pioneer
Parent reviews of the Silver Cross Pioneer
- Sturdy frame
- Large basket
- Easy folding system
- Double sun visor
- Very very hard to lift up, bad center of gravity
- Smaller-in-size bassinet as well as seat unit
- Rattly wheels
- Almost no suspension
It didn't fit us... I went for this because of the original design, but the driving characteristics were weak. I couldn't get up a curb, and the almost-no suspension.
