Lugging a pram around is one of the worst things about kids: they are often bulky, heavy and dirty (the pram, not the kids!). When your baby is small you definitely want something that feels robust, but as they grow and become able to sit up and face out to the world, switching to a lighter pushchair can be a great back-saving option. The Jet is the newest range from Silver Cross aimed primarily at travel. It has swiftly become our ‘car’ pushchair. It folds down to the size of a small case, has a great rain cover and a travel bag too. Light and easy to manoeuvre, it has made trips out to the supermarket and the school pick up a breeze. What’s more, the baby loves it. Sitting facing out to the world has given her a new perspective, and I know the pushchair will quickly replace our bulky pram as she grows. All we need now is a holiday abroad so we can really test it out.
