Pros and cons
Ergobaby
Pros
- Returns run for 30 days, long enough to test a carrier across a full week of wear and washes.
- The stroller folds down to 56 x 44 x 23 cm and has a cabin size fold, so it fits a small boot and an aeroplane locker.
- Ships across AT, BE and BG, so one brand covers most of Europe and North America.
Cons
- The stroller range is limited to compact and travel types, so there is no full-size or double option in the line.
- Carriers are built for 3.2-20.4 kg, a lower ceiling than the stroller's 22.7 kg.
- There is no ring sling in the range: carrier types are soft structured, wrap and hip seat, while MOBY lists soft structured, wrap and ring sling.
Silver Cross
Pros
- Lightest listed pushchair weight is 5.6 kg, among the lighter figures on the comparison.
- The Nia folds with one hand and to a cabin-friendly size, with folded dimensions of 54 x 45 x 23.
- Seat range covers infant, convertible and all in one, so a newborn setup through to a booster can come from one maker.
Cons
- The top of the range reaches £3,715, so a full travel system pushes the outlay well beyond the entry point of £149.
- Pushchair types cover full size, compact and travel, and the pram and double formats sit at the rarer end of what the comparison lists.
- Support runs on phone and help centre only, with no live chat or email contact listed.
Who each suits
Ergobaby
Who it suits
- Parents who want a newborn carry without an insert and a hip healthy fit as the child grows.
- Travellers who need a single hand fold and a cabin size fold on the stroller.
- Shoppers inside AT, BE and BG, where delivery and support are already set up.
Who should look elsewhere
- MOBY, if a ring sling or a hip-seat carry has to sit alongside a wrap, since soft structured, wrap and ring sling covers all three.
- Evenflo, if a single buckle carrier is all you need, since soft structured covers just that.
- Boba, if the ring sling in soft structured, wrap and ring sling is on your shortlist, since Ergobaby's soft structured, wrap and hip seat does not list one.
Silver Cross
Who it suits
- Parents starting from birth who want a lie-flat seat, since the Nia lists lie flat seat.
- Families who want pushchair, car seat and sleep space from one maker, with cots and a bedside crib in cot, bedside crib and mattress.
- Travellers who want a fold that meets cabin size and a warranty behind the pushchair.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone on a tight budget, since the range runs to £3,715 and Evenflo Company covers a similar set of stroller types at full size, compact and travel.
- Shoppers wanting a live chat or email route, because support runs on phone and help centre.
- Buyers outside GB and IN, where Kids2Shop lists a comparable stroller spread of full size, compact and travel.

Questions about each
Ergobaby
How much does an Ergobaby carrier or stroller cost?+
The lowest Ergobaby price is €59.90 and the top of the stroller range is €375, so a baby carrier sits at the accessible end. That entry figure is below the €79 across the carriers listed here. Both figures are in euro and the amount you meet is the price of the product itself, with no renewal payment later.
Can I use an Ergobaby carrier with a newborn?+
Yes. A newborn can be carried without an insert, and the carrier takes a child across 3.2-20.4 kg with 4 carry positions. That covers the early months and the toddler stage in the same carrier, so an insert is not something you have to add on before an early outing.
Silver Cross
What does a Silver Cross pushchair cost at the entry point and at the top?+
The pushchair and stroller range starts at £149 and reaches £3,715. That is a broad spread, so the entry price is only a guide to the cheapest single pushchair. A full travel system with a car seat and a cot will sit well above the entry figure.
Which Silver Cross pushchair is the lightest to carry?+
The lightest listed pushchair weight is 5.6 kg, and that model places among the lighter options in our comparison. The Nia also folds with one hand and folds to a cabin-friendly size, measuring 54 x 45 x 23 folded.
