Choosing the right pram can feel like navigating a maze of features and bundles. Silver Cross makes two of the most capable all‑terrain travel systems on the market — the Reef 2 and the Cove — but they’re built for slightly different lifestyles. This guide breaks down the real‑world differences so parents can confidently choose the model that fits their day‑to‑day life.

Silver Cross Reef 2: Built for Adventure

The Reef 2 is Silver Cross’s multi‑terrain powerhouse — ideal for families who split their time between pavements, parks, woodland paths, and everything in between.

What Makes the Reef 2 Unique

• Large, puncture‑proof multi‑terrain wheels designed for stability and grip on uneven ground.
• Strong, robust frame built to handle countryside footpaths as easily as suburban streets.
• First Bed Folding Carrycot — a standout feature. It folds completely flat into its base, making it perfect for small homes or car boots. It’s also approved for overnight sleeping.
• Reversible lie‑flat seat suitable from birth, with a magnetic Genius™ buckle and adjustable calf support.
• Anti‑crease recycled fabrics inspired by luxury sportswear.
• One‑hand fold with built‑in carry handle — quick, compact, and practical.
• 5kg storage basket — smaller than Cove’s but still generous.
• Compatible with multiple car seats, including Silver Cross Glide Plus 360, Maxi‑Cosi Pebble 360, and Cybex Cloud T.

Who the Reef 2 Is Best For

• Families who walk long distances or regularly tackle mixed terrain
• Parents who want a pram that feels sturdy, planted, and durable
• Homes with limited storage (thanks to the folding carrycot)
• Anyone who values premium fabrics and a high‑end finish
  

Silver Cross Cove: The Smoothest Ride, Elevated

The Cove is designed for parents who want the smoothest, most ergonomic everyday experience — with standout comfort features for both baby and parent.

What Makes the Cove Unique

• RideTech wheels with bump‑absorbing suspension for an ultra‑smooth ride.
• Integrated elevation system — raise the carrycot, seat, or car seat to three different heights. This improves interaction, reduces bending, and even helps at cafés or picnic benches.
• Supersized 10kg storage basket — one of the largest Silver Cross offers.
• Adjustable hood height to give growing toddlers more space.
• Reversible reclining seat with memory buttons for quick switching.
• Overnight‑sleep‑approved carrycot with panoramic ventilation and a bamboo‑lined mattress.
• One‑hand fold with pull‑out shoulder strap — great for public transport or stairs.
• Removable, machine‑washable fabrics (30°C).
• Lightweight chassis at 7.9kg — noticeably lighter than Reef’s more rugged frame.

Who the Cove Is Best For

• Parents who want the smoothest possible push
• Families who split time between city and countryside
• Anyone who wants a lighter, more agile pram
• Parents who love the idea of elevated seating for easier access
• Those who need maximum storage capacity
