Our verdict in one sentence
The most accessible Silver Cross — it gets you the brand’s build quality and 3-year warranty at around £295 RRP, with a lie-flat seat from birth included, but understand the cabin travel question before you buy.
Quick answer: Buy it if you want Silver Cross build quality and heritage at their most accessible price — from birth with a lie-flat seat included, a one-hand fold, and 6.5kg weight. Don’t assume it’s cabin approved: Silver Cross’s own FAQ confirms it is not IATA cabin compatible.

Compare the Silver Cross Clic 2
The Silver Cross Clic 2 is the most accessible entry point into the Silver Cross range. At around £295 RRP, it brings the brand’s heritage, build standards, and 3-year warranty to parents who prefer not to spend £500+ on a pushchair. Janette and I assessed it alongside the Stokke YOYO³ at John Lewis Leeds — the direct comparison most parents in this market are evaluating.

✅ What I liked
- Silver Cross build quality — the chassis feels sturdy and well-engineered for its weight
- From birth lie-flat seat included — no extra newborn packs or accessories required
- One-hand fold — simple collapse mechanism with an integrated pop-out shoulder strap
- 6.5kg total weight — easy to carry and handle on public transport
- 3-year warranty — reassuring long-term brand backing
- Multi-position recline — smooth adjustment for sleeping infants
- Adjustable handlebar — comfortable range for different walking heights
- Brand heritage — established name with a recognised aftermarket presence
⚠️ What to watch
- Not IATA cabin approved — Silver Cross confirms it does not meet IATA cabin guidelines. Always check with your airline before travelling
- Priced close to the Stokke YOYO³ (£299) — the YOYO³ is lighter at 6.2kg and holds strong resale value
- Compact limits — designed for light urban use rather than rough off-road terrain

| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Seat & versatility | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 7/10 (forward-facing with multi-position lie-flat recline — suitable from birth out of the box, no parent-facing) |
| Terrain capability | ⭐⭐⭐ 5/10 (urban compact — city pavements, parks and light paths. Not designed for rough terrain or countryside) |
| Fold | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10 (one-hand fold with integrated shoulder strap — one of the Clic 2’s genuine daily strengths) |
| Build quality & finish | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10 (Silver Cross standards evident — chassis feels solid and well-finished for its weight) |
| Value | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 7/10 (around £295 RRP is fair for Silver Cross quality — though the YOYO³ at £299 is worth evaluating at the same price) |
| Weight & practicality | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 9/10 (6.5kg with integrated shoulder strap — excellent for public transport, city use, and regular lifting) |
| Overall | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 7.5/10 |
Overall score: 7.5/10. The Clic 2 earns its score through solid build quality and a complete from-birth package at around £295 RRP — including a lie-flat recline, one-hand fold with integrated shoulder strap, and 3-year warranty. Terrain capability is honestly scored at 5/10 — this is an urban compact, not designed for countryside or rough terrain. The lack of formal cabin approval and the proximity of the YOYO³ at £299 are the honest reasons value sits at 7/10 rather than higher.
The cabin approval question — get this right before buying
The Clic 2 folds to 54 × 46.5 × 25cm. Silver Cross’s own official FAQ explicitly confirms that the Clic 2 is not IATA cabin approved. Airline cabin size rules vary by carrier — some are stricter than the IATA guideline, some less so — so always check with your specific airline before travelling.
⚠️ Important before buying
If airline cabin travel is critical to your routine: do not purchase the Clic 2 assuming it will be allowed as overhead cabin luggage. Always check your specific airline rules prior to travel. If cabin compatibility is a firm requirement, the Stokke YOYO³ or Mamas & Papas Airo are worth evaluating instead.
How it compares with the Stokke YOYO³
At around £295 versus £299, the Clic 2 and YOYO³ sit at essentially the same price point. The YOYO³ is lighter at 6.2kg (versus 6.5kg), is designed to meet IATA cabin size guidelines (though individual airline rules vary), and holds strong resale value. However, using the YOYO³ from birth requires purchasing a separate newborn set.
The Clic 2’s key advantage is that its lie-flat seat is built-in and suitable from birth out of the box, combined with Silver Cross’s 3-year warranty. If brand heritage, out-of-the-box newborn use, and warranty coverage matter most, the Clic 2 holds strong appeal. Read our full head-to-head: Silver Cross Clic 2 vs Stokke YOYO³ →
Does the Clic 2 genuinely feel like a Silver Cross?
It’s a fair question — and worth answering honestly. When Janette and I spent time with the Clic 2 at John Lewis Leeds, our overall read was that it delivers Silver Cross build standards at this price point, but it doesn’t feel as convincingly Silver Cross as the Reef 2, Breez, or Pop. The chassis is solid and the fold mechanism feels well-engineered, but you’re aware that this is the entry-level product in the range. The materials and finishes are appropriate for £295 — they simply don’t carry the premium weight of the higher models.
That’s not necessarily a reason not to buy it — it’s the trade-off you’re making for getting into Silver Cross at this price. The Reef 2 at twice the price feels like a different category of product. What the Clic 2 does deliver is the Silver Cross warranty, the Silver Cross fold engineering, and build quality that earns its price point. If you’re drawn to this end of the market partly because of what the Silver Cross name stands for, the Clic 2 makes good on the functional side of that promise — the materials and silhouette just tell you it’s the accessible tier.
Would I choose it?
For an urban parent who wants Silver Cross quality at an accessible price, with from-birth capability included from day one and no need for airline cabin travel — yes. The build quality is evident, the fold is genuinely practical with that integrated shoulder strap, and 6.5kg is a weight that works for city life. The warranty backing matters too: three years from Silver Cross is solid for a compact at this price.
For a parent who needs cabin-compatible dimensions — no. The YOYO³ or the Airo are the right tools. And if I were evaluating both at the same time, as Janette and I did, I’d want to spend time with the YOYO³ before committing either way.
💬 If this were my money…
If I wanted Silver Cross quality at an accessible price and cabin travel wasn’t a routine requirement, I’d buy the Clic 2 and feel confident in it — the build is right, the fold is practical, and the warranty is genuinely reassuring. But at around £295 vs £299, I would go and try the Stokke YOYO³ alongside it before deciding. Both are worth the assessment. The YOYO³ wins on weight and is designed for cabin travel; the Clic 2 wins on from-birth readiness and Silver Cross heritage.
Is the Silver Cross Clic 2 right for you?
A good choice if:
- Silver Cross build quality and British heritage matter to you
- You want from-birth lie-flat capability without buying extra newborn attachments
- City, park, and public transport use form your primary routine
- A 3-year warranty offers reassuring peace of mind
Think carefully if:
- Airline cabin travel is essential — the Clic 2 is not IATA approved. The Stokke YOYO³ or Mamas & Papas Airo are designed to meet IATA cabin size guidelines (though always verify with your airline)
- You haven’t evaluated the YOYO³ — read our comparison before making a final decision
- Every gram counts — the YOYO³ at 6.2kg is 0.3kg lighter than the Clic 2

Verdict
The Silver Cross Clic 2 achieves what it sets out to do: a well-built lightweight compact that delivers recognisable Silver Cross engineering at an accessible price. From birth with a lie-flat seat included, a simple one-hand fold, 6.5kg weight, and a 3-year warranty, it provides a solid package at around £295 RRP.
The main caveats are straightforward: it does not hold official IATA cabin approval, and the Stokke YOYO³ sits at a nearly identical price while offering a lighter chassis and cabin-compatible dimensions. Evaluate your priorities regarding travel and brand preference before buying.
Bottom line: The Clic 2 is the right pick if Silver Cross quality and 3-year warranty backing matter to you and cabin overhead storage isn’t required. If airline travel or maximum weight savings are your drivers, compare it with the YOYO³ first.

Frequently asked questions
No — Silver Cross’s official FAQ confirms the Clic 2 does not meet IATA cabin baggage guidelines. The folded dimensions are 54 × 46.5 × 25cm. Airline cabin size rules also vary by carrier, so always verify with your specific airline before travelling. For options designed to meet IATA cabin size guidelines, evaluate the Stokke YOYO³ or Mamas & Papas Airo.
Both cost around £295–£299. The YOYO³ is lighter at 6.2kg (vs 6.5kg), is designed to meet IATA cabin size guidelines (though individual airline rules vary), and holds strong resale value. The Clic 2 offers Silver Cross heritage, a 3-year warranty, and from-birth usability with the lie-flat seat included out of the box — no separate newborn set required. Read our full comparison →
Yes — the seat reclines fully lie-flat out of the box, requiring no separate newborn carrycot or pack attachments. This is one of the Clic 2’s genuine advantages over the Stokke YOYO³ at a similar price, which requires a separate newborn set for use from birth.
3 years — Silver Cross’s standard warranty. This offers solid reassurance compared to shorter warranties common among budget compacts and alternatives in this price bracket.
6.5kg — light enough for daily city use, public transport, and regular lifting. The integrated pop-out shoulder strap makes it practical to carry folded. The Stokke YOYO³ is lighter at 6.2kg if every gram matters; the Clic 2 is the better choice if from-birth readiness and Silver Cross heritage matter more than that 0.3kg difference.
Direct from Silver Cross at silvercrossbaby.com is usually the best place for current pricing, colour options, and bundles. Also available on Amazon and at John Lewis — check all three for current pricing and availability.
