The Silver Cross Wayfarer is a reversible-seat pushchair system that can be used from birth with its carrycot, then with its seat unit from 6 months. Its strengths, according to MadeForMums reviewer Rykesha Hudson, include smooth pushing and easy maneuvering; the practical trade-off is a bulky folded package, and the basket is harder to reach with the carrycot fitted. Before buying one—particularly a used or remaining-stock model—check its condition, included parts, exact folded size and compatibility with any car seat you plan to use.
What is the Wayfarer suitable for?
Silver Cross’s Wayfarer instructions state that the pushchair is suitable from birth to 9 kg with the carrycot, and from 6 months to 25 kg with the seat unit. The seat is reversible, so it can face either direction. Follow the manual for setup and use; the two configurations have different age and weight limits.

The Wayfarer is a system built around a chassis, seat unit and separate carrycot. The manual’s listed parts include a harness, bumper bar, front wheels, rain cover, cup holder, carrycot outer, liner and mattress. Package contents can vary, so verify the exact components before purchasing, especially for a second-hand stroller.
How does it perform in everyday use?
MadeForMums reviewer Rykesha Hudson rated the Wayfarer 4.5/5 and described it as stylish and sturdy, with smooth pushing and easy maneuverability. Hudson wrote, “It’s such a pleasure to push and steer this buggy, even in tight spots like a crowded supermarket aisle.” Those are the reviewer’s impressions, not a controlled comparison with other pushchairs.

- Read Before You Buy — No Video Output: These adapters support charging and USB 2.0 data transfer, but cannot transmit video signals. Except for standard USB webcams (which use USB data only), they are not compatible with HDMI/DisplayPort cables, video-capable USB-C hubs, or docking stations with video output.
- Convert USB-A Ports to USB-C: Designed to connect USB-C earphones, cables, flash drives, card readers, and other USB-C accessories to standard USB-A ports. Plug-and-play with no drivers or software required.
- Aluminum Alloy Housing: Built with a sturdy aluminum alloy shell that aids in heat dissipation and protects against daily wear and scratches. Designed to maintain a stable and secure connection.
- Compact & Travel-Friendly: The ultra-compact design allows the adapter to stay plugged into your device without blocking adjacent ports or adding bulk, reducing wear and tear on your original USB ports.
- 12-Month Warranty: Backed by a 12-month manufacturer warranty for peace of mind. Designed to meet strict quality control standards for reliable everyday performance.
The review’s main practical drawback is basket access: it can be difficult to reach the basket while the carrycot is installed. That may matter if you expect to use the basket frequently during newborn mode.
How do you fold the Silver Cross Wayfarer?
The seat unit can stay attached for folding only when it is forward-facing and upright. Remove the carrycot or car seat before folding. Never fold the pushchair with a child seated. For the complete procedure and safety instructions, consult the official Wayfarer manual.

How compact and lightweight is it?
The MadeForMums reviewer found the folded stroller bulky. A separate listing from John Lewis gives one Orkney package’s weight as 10 kg and its dimensions as follows. These figures apply to that listing and package; other trims or bundles may differ.

Can the Wayfarer be used with a car seat?
Silver Cross’s manual specifies the Simplicity Car Seat as a supported option, sold separately. MadeForMums also reported compatibility with that seat and said adaptors were included in the package its reviewer used. Confirm the exact car-seat model and adaptor for the Wayfarer you have; the available evidence does not establish compatibility with other seats or the current availability of the Simplicity seat.

The Wayfarer is an older model, so listings may be for used products or remaining stock. Check the frame, wheels, harness, seat and carrycot condition, and make sure the advertised package includes the parts you need. If you need replacement parts or accessories, Silver Cross says to use only its approved items and to confirm compatibility with the specific Wayfarer component.
