Silver Cross HALO Pushchair
Ease of Use
Versatility
Foldability
Easy Storage
Good for Public Storage
The Silver Cross Halo Travel System is Silver Cross’ latest addition to their range of versatile, stylish, compact and lightweight pushchair range. If you’re looking for a pushchair you can take anywhere and store in the smallest spaces, you’ll love the Halo. It’s suitable from birth to toddler years.
The Pros
Many parents are raving about the Halo’s good looks and unique design. It’s lightweight, easy to fold with one hand, and surprisingly compact that you can even fit it inside the boot of a BMW Mini!
It’s got an adjustable Ultra Violet protective hood with sun visor, making it perfect for when you go on holidays to sunny places.
The extendable leg support makes it a more comfy ride for your child.
Perhaps one of its best features is the security and safety your child will enjoy when it’s used as a pram. The chassis forms a halo of metal around the baby which kinda gives a protective but invisible “hands off” message to strangers who just can’t help themselves when they see an irresistibly gorgeous little princess (or prince) like yours.
It’s available in 4 colours (base colours of blue, green, black and grey) that are rather trendy looking. Be prepared to receive compliments from strangers if you get it.
Other Pros worthy to note:
- Reversible seat liner
- Easy to recline Back Rest
- Easy to manoeuvre
- There’s a useful handle for carrying the folded pushchair
Silver Cross Halo Travel System: The Cons
If you look at the picture you can easily spot where the Halo disappoints: the shopping bag. Or lack thereof.
The HALO doesn’t really have a proper storage basket. For some reason we still haven’t quite figured out, the Halo’s idea of “innovative” storage system is a string of flexible cords you’re supposed to wrap around your belongings. Talk about impractical and dare we say, ridiculous.
On a positive note the chassis is sturdy enough to hold a light enough shopping bag or a changing bag. That said, the Halo seems to have been made for short trips where you don’t need to take the entire house with you save a few nappies and wet wipes.
A few people who own Halo have remarked that while the suspension is quite good for the child (most kids enjoy a bumpy ride anyway), the pusher could find it a bit uncomfortable as the handle vibrates easily when used on bumpy surfaces like cobbles. So if you plan to buy just one all-around pushchair and you are going to use it a lot on rough surfaces you might want to consider an 3-wheeler pushchair instead like the Mountain Buggy or Quinny Speedi SX.

User Reviews
Silver Cross Halo; Sadly we had a faulty one which almost cost our little one the top of a finger! As it is she will most definately lose the nail. Three batches of the mothercare dandelion chairs have been recalled but we had not seen the notice. Both silver cross and mothercare are playing down the seriousness of the fault and are not saying what it is. Silver cross have been both apologetic and generous in trying to deal with us, however I feel strongly that this issue should be addressed in the national press to ensure more people see it including anyone who bought their chair second hand. On mothercare’s site the fault described as “small hazard” and SX call it a “minor hazard” I feel sure if they had seen a baby with a finger caught in the frame they would review this opinion!
