Silver Cross Kensington

Whoever says size does not matter is telling lies! If you have the room then always go for the bigger option (pram). I bought a more modern M&P carrycot type pram for my last baby - by the time we added all the bits and pieces on it came to £650.00 so no saving really, compared to a Silver Cross coachbuilt - you can now pick up brand new ones for £600-£650 on ebay. We used our M&P carrycot until my daughter was totally cramped - only about 8 months old and then gave in and bought a second hand silver cross coachbuilt pram (on ebay) - everyone loved it - the baby was comfortable, granny loved taking her for big long walks and everyone at the shops commented on ...  Read the complete review

SILVER CROSS KENSINGTON INTRODUCTION This is one of the range of coach built prams from the Silver Cross Heritage Range and it really is, as Silver Cross say, “the Rolls Royce of prams.” The Kensington is not the largest model with the big wheels. I am told by my mother that those were called High coachbuilt, whereas the Kensington is a Medium coachbuilt. With a new addition due to the family, a new pram was high on our “new baby” shopping list and as it was going to be bought as a gift cost did not matter! Call me old fashioned but I do not like these modern, fabric covered prams so it had to be a Silver Cross. I wanted something that ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant with my first child, my Mum kindly said that she would buy me my pram. I happily agreed, unaware that she had in mind a coach built Silver Cross pram....... Silver Cross have been making prams since 1877 - they pride themselves on great quality and elegance. The "Kensington" is handmade - something that cannot be said very often nowadays! We went to the local "babywear" shop to look at prams, and the owner had a Silver Cross Kensington pram, just like the one in the picture above, that she was prepared to reduce because it took up too much room in her stockroom. So having done the deal, my Mum arranged to ...  Read the complete review

I live very close to where the prams were manufactured. My daughters are adult now, one married, one sitting her final year at university. We women can all remember the very weak/fragile days after the birth, yet one can walk for miles with a coach built pram. It smoothly travels along giving support and is so easy to manouver. The todler can be strapped to the seat on top when she does not insist upon pushing the pram! Eldest daughter let the break off when I turned my back once and the pram carreered into oncoming traffic. It does not bear thinking about what could have happened with the silly modern cloth and frame prams if a ...  Read the complete review
