Silver Cross Pop 2
The Silver Cross Pop 2 is the second generation of the original Pop from 2015. Despite its low weight, this umbrella stroller has a high weight capacity and can handle even an older child. Thanks to the ventilation system, the Pop is excellent for hot summer days.
Suitable from birth, the seat offers a flat recline. The Pop 2 is, therefore, a suitable alternative or an addition to bulkier strollers that are usually a part of the stroller system. By unzipping the ventilation/peek-a-boo panel, you'll allow airflow while extending the hood to extra-large size. The Pop 2 was also released in special editions with patterns.

Parent reviews of the Silver Cross Pop 2
Your questions about the Silver Cross Pop 2
Does the Pop2 have the same backrest length as the original Pop? I have a tall toddler and I remember the original worked well with my tall firstborn
Hi, Simmone,
The length is pretty much the same, and if you were happy with it, you will, I believe, be happy about the newer Pop, too.
Where can I still find this type of stroller? (Pop2). It seems they are out of stock everywhere I looked!
Hello, Diana,
It might just as well be true, they might be sold out at the moment or even not made at the time being. At these times, even a part missing in the factory can cause a stop in the production, and I know there has been a problem with some types of plastic. This all is 100 % up to the manufacturer, in this case, the Silver Cross brand, and it is up to them if they will stock this again when possible, or even discontinue this model.
Only time will tell, but if you need an umbrella buggy, I would probably look at some other models at this time, if this one is nowhere to be found. My own suggestion would be something in the likes of a Maclaren Techno XT, a Baby Jogger Vue if you can find one, or even browsing classifieds for the type you want.
P.S. I saw a few on eBay in a good pre-owned state, and even a new one(s) here ;-)
