Be My Baby.

Pregnancy is an exciting time for any expecting parent; all those "first" moments to look forward to; the first smile, the first tooth, the first steps, the first dirty nappy - they're all such exciting and precious moments, well maybe not the latter. Yet, for us shopaholics and sentimental hoarders, the "first" purchases are just as important, and perhaps one of the most significant "first" purchases is the pram. Whether you're buying blue for a boy, or purchasing pink for a girl, every baby needs a pram, and there is one name which stands out amongst the countless brands available: Silver Cross. Founded on Silver Cross Street in Leeds back in 1877, Silver Cross grew from humble roots to being the biggest pram manufacturer in the world, and we're delighted to have some vintage Silver Cross prams for sale.

So, what is it that makes the Silver Cross such a household name and worthy investment?What's that? You want another of my fun filled vintage history lessons? Oh, if you insist. After it's humble establishment in 1877, Silver Cross grew rapidly and was dubbed as the "Rolls Royce" of prams. It became such a prestigious brand, that even the Royal family used them for their little princes and princesses and in 1948, Prince Charles was presented with a specially developed Silver Cross pram. Fancy, ey?

Our collection of Silver Cross prams are available here

Silver Cross was revolutionary in its designs back in 1877, the founder,William Wilson, was an innovative inventor and engineer; it was he who developed the spring system and reversible hood which is recognisable in the modern pram that we know today. Nowadays, Silver Cross prides itself on being loved and trusted worldwide by their many customers whilst still pushing engineering boundaries, yet their original prams remain to be beautiful, practical and iconic. The metal frame, the shabby-chic colour scheme of navy and white is highly prolific of the brand, and looks undeniably chic. One question remains: would it be socially acceptable for me to buy a doll just so I could prance around the streets pretending to be a mother for the sole purpose of needing that pram?
