Our verdict on each
Silver Cross
Silver Cross suits parents who want a British name with a documented safety result and a warranty, and who will stretch to the top of the price range for a full-size or travel system. Its lightest pushchair weighs 5.6 kg, which is light for the category.
UPPAbaby
UPPAbaby suits parents who want one brand to cover a newborn through a booster without changing suppliers, and who will buy in a US shaped market. Founded in 2006, it is the only one of these three brands listing jogging in full size, compact and travel.

Pros and cons
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.
UPPAbaby
Pros
- One hand fold and cabin size fold are both listed for the light travel model, so 7.6 kg packs for a flight without a second step.
- A lie flat seat, listed as lie flat seat, covers the newborn stage, and lie flat seats make up 57.1% of the strollers comparison.
- Jogging sits in full size, compact and travel next to full size, compact, travel, double and travel system, a wider spread than full size, compact and travel and full size, compact and travel.
Cons
- The lightest frame is 7.6 kg, which ranks 24 of 42 brands on the site, so it is a mid weight rather than a featherweight.
- There is no live chat line, and support runs on email, phone and help centre only.
- The listed seat standard is fmvss 213a, a US rule, so a shopper buying to another region's standard finds nothing on the list to match it.
Who each suits
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.
UPPAbaby
Who it suits
- Parents building a single brand kit, since the compatible car seat list is Mesa, Aria and Chicco and the frames are not tied to one infant seat.
- Travellers who fold with one hand and need a cabin size pack down, with the light travel model at 7.6 kg.
- Shoppers in the brand's served markets, based in the United States, who can reach a help centre or phone support.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers chasing the lightest frame, since 7.6 kg sits above the 4.1 kg low point across the site.
- Shoppers who need a European or UK seat rule, since the standards list names fmvss 213a only.
- Anyone who wants a second seat built in from the start: Harppa Baby lists double only, while the second seat here is a later conversion.

Questions about each
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.
UPPAbaby
Which stroller types does UPPAbaby make?+
The range covers full size, compact and travel, so one maker supplies full size, compact, travel, double, jogging and travel system frames. The named models are Minu V3, Vista V3, Cruz V3, Minu Duo, and the Minu Duo covers the double side. Compared with Evenflo Company's full size, compact and travel, jogging is the type UPPAbaby adds on top of the shared list.
Does the stroller fold down for cabin travel?+
On both counts. The one hand fold is listed for the light travel model, the cabin size fold is listed too, and the pack down measures 25.4 x 45.7 x 54.6. That frame weighs 7.6 kg, which is heavier than the lightest frames on this site, so the deciding question is whether you carry it rather than check it.
