The beautiful Silver Cross Surf 2 has all the high quality trademarks we have come to expect from a Silver Cross product. To start with it was easy to put together, taking us less than 15 minutes (I say us but it was more like me and a spectator), the chassis is made from a strong but extraordinarily light magnesium alloy and the hood and apron are available in 5 bold colours or a more reserved black or grey. The Surf 2 is designed to tackle any terrain with its large foam-filled (puncture proof) pneumatic tyres and air-sprung suspension it really is a pleasure to push, we had no problem confronting curbs and it glided smoothly over the bumpy footpath across the park, the whole time baby slept soundly. The pushchair is suitable from birth as the fully lined carrycot with deep padded mattress (lined with 100% natural bamboo fabric, which helps to wick away moisture from baby's skin) can be used as a lie-flat pram or for overnight sleeping and as the baby grows you can switch to the seat unit which can be set up as a forward facing or rear facing pushchair. The soft leatherette handle can be adjusted to 4 heights, importantly the manoeuvrability is great for example you can comfortably steer with one hand on the handle whilst using the other to open a door. I really like the adjustability of the surf 2 making it suitable for many different ages, positions and personal preferences of both parent and baby, the seat can be reclined in 3 different positions and features a 5-point harness keeping baby safe and comfortable at all times. The chassis folds down to a small compact size so it can easily fit in the boot, the wheels also come off to make it even more compact but the seat does have to be removed which can make packing up a bit of a hassle. As well as the chassis, new born carry cot, pushchair unit and the hood and apron, the surf 2 also comes with a rain cover, cup holder, shopping basket and two attachments that can be used to incorporate the Simplicity car seat (bought separately) onto the chassis. The rain cover attaches quickly for protection against the ever unpredictable English weather and can be unzipped to allow baby to see out again without removing the whole thing. The shopping basket is a little on the small side but it definitely isn’t a big enough deal to put you off this stylish and practical travel system, suitable from birth the surf 2 can be adjusted again and again to suit the needs of both parent and child.
