STROLLER: Silver Cross Reflex Aston Martin Edition

Say hello to the latest Silver Cross collaboration with the iconic Aston Martin. Is this stroller the peak of pushchair luxury? We think it is. The wheels were inspired by the Aston Martin DB11, while luxury and comfort are synonymous with the Silver Cross brand. The pushchair is lightweight (55kg) and suitable from birth to 25kg. If this isn’t a first-class ride for baby, we don’t know what is.
