droolicious : Silver Cross

Jennifer Lopez and the British Royal Pram

Chris Ford — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:29:00 GMT

Will somebody please tell Jennifer Lopez she's not a real princess? The new issue of People Magazine has the pictures of J-Lo and her new family, and among the pictures is a shot of the two $3,000 prams ("pram" is fancy English word for stroller) that she's supposedly wheeling her kids around in. The Silver Cross Balmoral Pram is handmade and according to their web site, "trusted by the British Royal family for generations." Ugh.

Look, I don't have any doubt it is beautiful and handles like a dream, but how exactly are you supposed to use this? It doesn't look like one (let alone two) would fit very well in the back of a modest SUV (or modest NYC apartment for that matter), so I suppose it's reserved for long constitutionals around the estate after dinner. And in my experience at least, my kids hated being rolled around in a bassinet-style stroller.

But to each princess her own I guess.

Silver Cross Dazzle Stroller: Not-Black is the New Black

Aaron Burgess — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:03:00 GMT

When last we were going gaga for Silver Cross' Dazzle, the lightweight, celebrity-attracting stroller was only available in black, and pounds sterling seemed to be our only payment option for it. Since then, of course, we've been able to find the Dazzle in everything from standard Cosmic Black to (my personal favorite) Tangerine.

One of the lighter, more minimalist-friendly designs in Silver Cross' arsenal, the Dazzle is still priced a bit steeper ($299) than similarly fashioned garden-variety models, but if you're looking to pair the easy use of an umbrella stroller with the luxury of a standard Silver Cross, this is your happy medium.

Available here and there online, or visit Silver Cross' store locator to find a retailer near you.

If You Can Afford This Silver Cross Doll Carriage, Please Adopt Me

Honestly, I don't understand spending this kind of money even on a proper full-size pram in which to transport your own precious cargo in style. But to see that swanky manufacturer Silver Cross is also offering a pint-size version of their heritage carriages for tots to push their dollies... well, I am in awe. I guess I'll go pay over $3,000 for the regular version, and then $950 for a toy version (at Elegant Child) will seem perfectly reasonable, right?

Also, there seem to be some monkeys flying out of my hindquarters.

Silver is the New Black

Silver Cross' line of strollers would make Mary Poppins burst into song for going black. Celebrities are going gaga over this new trend as well as the slick design of the handles on these babies.

The darkness ends there though. The folding stroller design of the Dazzle is otherwise lightweight and easy on the eyes.

Available for pre-order in the UK at Babyfleet for £250
