In the beginning
Silver Cross started producing their world first prams in 1877, right up to the present day, parents have trusted them to help give their babies the best start in life.
The Silver Cross USA Collection features a range of handmade coach-built prams and dolls prams. These masterpieces of design are still made in England to the same exacting standards that they have been for 136 years.
From the very first Silver Cross pram built by William Wilson in 1877 to the latest Balmoral pram, nothing but the utmost care and quality has gone into every one. Quite simply, the ultimate baby carriage.
The Silver Cross story began in 1877 when British inventor and engineer William Wilson developed an innovative spring system and reversible hood, which he combined into a design for the first modern pram that we all know today. William was a prolific inventor and by the turn of the century had many patents and designs in production.
The Rolls Royce of Prams
By the middle part of the 1900s Silver Cross was regarded as the ‘Rolls Royce’ of prams and in 1948 Prince Charles was presented with a specially developed pram. At this time, Silver Cross had developed a wide range of convertible prams and was already exporting prams worldwide.
A household name
By the 1960s Silver Cross was established as Britain’s premier pram manufacturer and new designs were launched to meet the changing demands of modern families. Silver Cross was now a household name loved and trusted by parents around the globe.
Record Breaking Wayfarer
In the 1980s Silver Cross was one of Europe’s largest manufacturers and the launch of the original Wayfarer resulted in sales of over 1 million units in the decade.
