Excellent fold up stroller! – Perfect for running errands and travel. It is light weight and easy to manoeuvre. Love the lay back function, perfect for 6 month olds right up to toddlers. I found it to be easily clean ends with a damp sponge and looks tidy with the darn fabric colour. Highly recommend!

Disappointed – We brought this stroller after recommendations and reviews from people. However after only seven months the brake mechanism snapped and this only aloud one brake to be placed on at a time making it dangerous for our child. I have contacted the manufacture and have received no response and wouldn't recommend this brand or stroller to anyone.

Good Cheap Stroller – We brought this stroller mainly for travelling. Didn't want to spend a lot so didn't expect too much. This stroller served its purpose well for our 11 month old. Lovely big sunshade which is perfect if you are travelling to warm places. Quite sturdy and easy to move around and fold up. Only negatives so far is that the handles are quite low (ok… Read more

for me but my husband found it low- he is 6 foot), and the clip that the straps go into is quite low so can sometimes dig into my son's crutch a bit when he slides down.

So disappointed with this stroller – It really looked the part in the shop, I was impressed how easily it folded and the cup holder was also a nice touch but now that I've owned it for 2 months, I absolutely hate it. My kid always slides down in it and has the strap digging in her crotch (another friend also had the same problem with this same stroller). I was also sucked in by the… Read more

British design (being a Brit myself) but I was totally sucked in with this product. I also noticed that when you walk too quickly the wheels shudder. Not much to like other than the cup holder and ease of folding. Everything else. Such a disappointment.

Great stroller - worth every cent! – This is a great stroller for all year round. The unique feature on the Pop Air is that it comes with removable sides which allows for better air flow in the hotter months. My son loves riding in this stroller - it's comfortable and can be inclined at various levels. The footrest can be positioned up when he's asleep or down when he's awake to have… Read more

his legs dangling off the edge. Great for everyday use and I'm sure we'll get plenty of years out this one. Can be used from birth and will last for plenty of years. The mesh sides allows for good airflow all year round. Should come with more colour options.

Amazing Stroller! – I had the old Silver Cross Pop, but now I have just purchased the new Pop Air, and it is SO much better. The seat is so much deeper and the brake bar is closer to the pram so I can now drag it up my apartment steps without hassle. But my favourite part is that it has removable 'wings' on the side of the stroller to allow more air flow when it's… Read more

hot! My son loves it as well, which is the most important part.

I highly recommend the new Pop Air Reliable, inexpensive, the side 'Air Wings', brake bar is easy and reliable, deep seat it's only available in black :( - but you can buy seat liners to change it up, which is a start! :-)

Terrible – Bought this stroller thinking Silver Cross is a sturdy brand, how wrong we were. First problem is with the instructions. Instead of having one instruction book there are two, one with the diagrams in, and one with the descriptions (instructions) in, so you have to reference two instruction books to assemble, quite ridiculous. On first assembly… Read more

the mesh over the sun visor was starting to come away and we were happy to live with that minor problem however things quickly got worse. Firstly, the belt from the sides (horizontal/lap belt) is so short that you cannot have the soft padding seat in even if your child isn't that big. Ours is 15 months and is not a large toddler yet the horizontal belt even extended fully was too tight. The belt also does not have that nice looking round locking mechanism as shown on the Silver Cross website but is a cheap, horrible thing. Then there's the slippage problem. The seat and backrest are so poorly designed our child would continually slip down and the force of the belt between his legs would cause him great discomfort so we had to continually adjust him in the seat. This would happen regardless of what incline you had on the backrest.

The next (and probably worse) problem was the front wheels. Regardless of what surface, the front wheels would randomly spin around (chatter) as if the weight balance of the stroller had too much bias to the rear. We tried different backrest inclines, nothing worked. After a few days it got worse and was absolutely horrible to push. The front wheels would chatter continuously as they tried to get purchase on the surface. Pushing this was a nightmare.

And then there are the brakes. You push down solidly on the rear brake thinking it’s locked but you have to rock it backwards and forwards gently until it's fully locked in otherwise it’s not really braked. And then one time the brake just gave way. The useless front wheels would also randomly lock too making the already hopeless steering worse.

The handles on the stroller also had a loose feel rounding off the cheap build quality.

The only positive was it's not too heavy, however overall it is such an awful product. Luckily for us Toys R Us were great to deal with and we got a refund. On reading reviews of this product afterwards on UK and US websites, it's obvious we're not the only ones completely dissatisfied. It is such a bad stroller and I wish I’d done a bit more research first.

To sum up, it's garbage and avoid at all costs. It's a shame I have to rate this a minimum one star because it really deserves zero. Not too heavy Build quality

Excellent – A good lightweight stroller that is easy to drive around the shops. not so good on rough surfaces or boggy terrain. A great, compact, lightweight design and from a good trusted brand. Lightweight, layback, good to use from birth to toddler, fits in boot of car easily, pocket at back of stroller to put things in. I purchased this stroller for baby… Read more

no 3 as I needed a compact stroller I can fit in my car because my pram is too big.

So far it has been great and I have purchased a sun shade as an accessory. It does the job. A bit more expensive than some other strollers, but well worth it as it seems a bit better made than others. Price could be a turn off for some. So lightweight that if you have a small baby it could blow away from you. not many cons so far.

Good – the stroller served our purpose for buying it. our first was 14 kls - we didn't realize how heavt it was til our baby came home and started using the pram. we bought the silver cross pop as a second stroller: it is very easy to use - we live in the 2nd floor so having a very lightweight stroller is just what we need. lightweight, excellent for… Read more

going out by public transport, spacesaver on your boot, love the colors, brake automatically release when the tires move so one needs to hold stroller firmly to avoid accidents. not advisable to use when it is windy as it could be blown away
