Do you remember the old Maclaren blue and white stripped seat buggies ? |

Unless anybody knows differently Sylvia, it would appear that the Silver Cross pushchairs don't really resemble the type that we have in mind. They are just a modern-type stroller. It's a bit sad really and a shame that there isn't the choice available. Hope I'm wrong! |

My silver cross pram was bottle green,with a child seat on it when our second one arrived. My sister also used it later for her daughter, and then it went to a friend who used it for her 3 children. |

I had a second-hand Silver Cross pram for my children when babies, I was even able to purchase the correct braid which was available in those days. |

I had a Silver Cross coach built . Bottle Green pram with the same colour interior. It was supposed to be better for the babies eyes. Bought it in 1968 and it was beautiful. |

I wish they would, Princess Diana was not happy about buggies apparently and said they would cause problems with babies, and it's a thought I have long held too |

A few years ago there was a documentary where they put a film camera in a buggy and walked round as a normal day a sort of" Babies eye view " |

Wish I had never sold the one I had - it had carried four babies for a work colleague who sold it to me very cheaply when I was expecting my daughter in 1974, sadly she never got to use it but it was put in my Mum and Dad's loft and brought down when I had my son in 1982. It was cream and brown, a Silver Cross, and was a joy to use. Luckily I had a sort of conservatory on the back of the house so I was able to wheel it in, park it there, and not worry about dirt on the wheels going through the house. |

My uncle and aunt moved into a new,purpose built farm cottage in 1948. One totally innovative part of the design was a particularly spacious hallway to accommodate a pram. |

In 1958 I had a black Silver Cross and a cream canopy. Used to wash and polish it every week. End of 1959 sold it to a young mum in Cyprus desperate for a pram. Then I returned to UK and found I was pregnant - this time it was a Pedigree - cream with maroon hood/apron/bag. Big prams were great if you had loads of shopping just lift the mattress up and release a section of pram and chuck everything in bottom of pram! |
