Silvercross zest

Has anyone had one of these?

I am contemplating buying one for use at nursery and on public transport as my big pram is quite bulky?

Dd is five months, zest says suitable from 3 months

I'm interested in how far it lies back mainly?

Hi, i have the zest. Its a nice buggy but doesnt lie flat, i would say about 45 degrees. Fine for a 5 month plus baby but i personally wouldnt use it for a 3 month old. My ds always slept very well in it though. You do need 2 hands to fold it too so while it is compact for public transport it is a bit tricky to fold while carrying a baby. Depends if you will need to fold it or you will just use the buggy space. Hth

I have it, it lies back further than a lot of the other strollers I've seen. I like it! I'm quite short and bought it because the handles were quite low, I have no complaints so far!

That's good to know

I'm short too lol

Is it nice quality?

Found a shop with pushchair and footmuff for £100

Hi op, it is definitely good quality for an umbrella fold type and that does sound like a good price. My sis has a cheaper umbrella fold and while it is fine it is definitely flimsy compared to the silver cross

I agree, better quality than my MIL's Babies R Us cheapy. The only complaint I have is that it's very narrow, and at the moment I have the footrest up as my boy's only 11 months, and he sticks his legs out the sides all the time. But narrow is generally good as it's easy to get around shops etc. Another benefit is that he seems secure in the harness and doesn't slip around or wriggle out like some I've seen.

Dd is only just five months and this Won't be main pushchair so I'm not too bothered about it being narrow, by the time she's big enough for that to be an issue I will prob be looking for an excuse for another anyway!

Which versions do you have?

I am looking at the Aubergine?
