Silver Cross Surf
The Silver Cross Surf is a luxurious stroller featuring a unique designer chassis made from magnesium alloy. It was released in 2010. The name of the stroller is inspired by the nature of the ride. Thanks to the pneumatic suspension, the child is comfortable and feels like riding on the waves. The smaller-in-size shopping basket can be found behind the dual front axle. You can add another optional shopping basket, which will be placed underneath the seat unit - or you can carry it in your hand.
The chassis offers a relatively compact fold, but only without the seat and the additional basket attached. Two smaller front wheels can be exchanged for the optional front axle with a single, fixed Trekking wheel. Thus, the urban Surf transforms into an all-terrain three-wheeler suitable even for a light sport.
The reversible bucket type seat can be tilted to a fully reclined position. By adding the newborn insert, the Surf seat will become suitable from birth. The reversible, all-season seat liner, and a matching apron are included with the seat unit. The Surf comes with a parasol, and a rain cover included. A wide range of other related accessories is available to buy separately. A carrycot (in black color only) is available for your newborn, creating a full-featured system. Alternatively, the Silver Cross or other popular brands of car seats can be added.

Parent reviews of the Silver Cross Surf
- Comfortable
- Looks good
- Most parts washable
- Apron over footrest
- All terrain wheels available
- Big when folded
Got it second hand from my sister. Still works well and works as new even though it’s 6+ year old. Would be perfect if it could fold with the stroller seat attached as it takes a bit of space separately. Good in the snow with all terrain wheels.
- lightweight
- easy folding
- easy reversing of the seat unit
- looks great
- good wheel material
A good-looking, elegant stroller for me. Very lightweight and easy to fold. Great overall manipulation.
- Easy to push with one hand
- Lightweight chassis
- I had a limited edition - sooo beautiful, the design
An amazing stroller both for the city and for milder terrain. Huge selection of accessories - loving the double-sided summer-winter liner.
We bought it second-hand. It's great - easy to push. You can easily hold the door with one hand and turn the stroller fully with the other hand. Everything, except the hood, can be washed.
Huge selection of accessories. The seat unit andthe bassinet share the canopy. Besides, there is a net, a winter pack with footmuff and gloves, and an apron. There is also a seat liner insert for a baby who is not yet able to sit independently, and also a changing mat. I certainly did not mention all as there was a lot of it. I am extremely satisfied. Just to point out, this pushchair is not for tall mummies. It is just the right height for me, and I'm only 160cm. So I definitely recommend it, even though a new one is quite expensive...
Your questions about the Silver Cross Surf
Can you help please wanting to identify which car seat would be compatible with the Silver Cross Surf? Which isofix base I might require?
Many thank Victoria
Hello, Victoria,
Finding a compatible car seat and finding an Isofix base are two very different things. A base is not for the pram, it is only for the car seat type, and has nothing to do with the choice of a stroller.
To attach a car seat to this model, you will need car seat adapters. Either you have them, or need to search for those, however, this is an older model, so it may take some checking in classifieds or contacting the customer service to be sure you have the right ones. The adapters are for Maxi-Cosi/Cybex car seats, and for that (kind of U-shaped) attachment, you will be able to attach a Maxi-Cosi, Cybex, Joie, Kiddy, Recaro 0+ car seat.
Based on which brand and model of the car seat you pick, you have to google (or ask in the shop you buy it in) the right Isofix based meant for that car seat model. You won't be able to mix & match car seat and base, you have to get the base for the particular car seat.
