Silver Cross Pram

Silver Cross is a name to reckon with among the manufacturers of baby prams. A pram is a lightweight and sturdy product used to transport infants from one location to another. With more than one and a quarter century of experience in this line of business, Silver Cross prams are designed for comfort and durability. Besides their functional value, the company claims that each of its prams is a work of art. The pram, short for perambulator, has been in use in British families right from Victorian times. Generally, these mini vehicles incorporate a metal frame mounted on four large wheels. The size and orientation of these wheels as well as the weight distribution lowers the pram’s centre of gravity and increases stability.

Silver Cross prams sometimes have English leather over the metal body which may have as many as three coats of high shine lacquer providing resistance to rust and corrosion. Kids up to the age of 3 to 4 years can be carried in prams. A handle at the rear of the pram allows the mother to comfortably push the pram. The pram’s upper portion has a crib-like resemblance, within which the baby can be placed. A small soft mattress with foam keeps the baby safe, secure and comfortable. The baby can either sit or sleep in the pram.

During rains or excessive sunshine, the foldable hood can be drawn over the baby protecting its delicate body. When the pram is kept in the house, it can be folded to save space. Manufacturers have intentionally kept the weight of the prams down to increase manoeuvrability. Most prams weigh around 15 to 25 pounds and have efficient suspensions to minimise bumps and jerks.
