Silver Cross Micro V.2 Umbrella Stroller Review

I loved my pink Silver Cross Micro for about six months. At first, it seemed like the perfect umbrella stroller solution for a mom who craved something luxurious, but didn't want the same Maclaren as everyone else. The compact, efficient fold was perfect for travel and quick trips, and the larger than average wheels made it comfortable to push over imperfect sidewalks.

However, as my daughter got older and heavier, I noticed the stroller seeming to strain under her weight. The wheels squeaked, the seat creaked, and I had to wrestle with it to steer. This might be true of many umbrella strollers when children pass the age of two, but I expected a little more out of something that cost over a hundred dollars. Another obnoxious problem was the way the wheels touched the pink canopy when the stroller was folded. This eventually created black stains on my pretty pink fabric. Since this stroller is no longer very functional for me and it isn't even pretty anymore, the Silver Cross Micro is in storage.
