Silver Cross Sleepover
The Silver Cross Sleepover of the new generation (also known as the Sleepover 3) is a retro stroller with a high weight capacity. The rocking chrome chassis is equipped with fixed, air-filled wheels. The updated 2in1 stroller system from 2016 consists of the foldable carrycot and a seat with a full recline. The hood is shared between the carrycot and the seat, so you have to add it to the component currently in use. Apart from the smaller, solid sun visor, the Sleepover also comes with an additional, enlarged UV sun visor. The stroller comes with a rain cover, a footmuff and a changing bag included. Using the optional Simplicity car seat, the Sleepover can be transformed into a travel system. Car seat adapters are not necessary.

Parent reviews of the Silver Cross Sleepover
Your questions about the Silver Cross Sleepover
I have a tall toddler. We walk quite a distance to nursery and home so I am looking for a pushchair that will provide the headroom.
What is the height between seat unit and top of hood, please?
Heya, there,
Unfortunately, I don't have it measured, so I cannot tell you that. I, however, can tell you that with a tall toddler, a reversible seat is not the best choice for a toddler, not even talking about a tall one, as the space will always be quite limited. For nursery walks with a tall child, I would go for a forward-facing-only pushchair.
But if you insist on this pram, the seat should last fro about 3 years with a normal-sized child.
