EMILY’S TAKE
The folding bassinet is one of my favorite features on the Silver Cross Breez. If you want to use a bassinet but do not have much space to store one, it is a really nice option. You also get a reversible seat, a newborn recline, a large basket, a great push, and a compact fold. This stroller especially shines as a newborn and early years stroller. If you are buying it for an older toddler, I would probably look at a different option.

I have been testing the Breez with my kids, including my one-year-old and very tall four-year-old. We have taken it to parks, on grass and gravel, and I have been using the fold as a suburban mom who is constantly loading a stroller in and out of the trunk.
There are two ways you can purchase the Silver Cross Breez. You can get the stroller with just the seat, which includes a newborn recline so you can use it from birth into toddlerhood, or you can get the bundle that includes the foldable bassinet and the seat.
For the stroller price, you get the frame, a seat with a seat liner, a bumper bar, and a rain cover. If you purchase the bassinet bundle, you get the bassinet as well, and the rain cover works on both. You can also purchase several accessories separately, including a cup holder, car seat adapters, a Silver Cross diaper bag designed to hang on the stroller, and a parent organizer.
The seat on the Breez has all-weather capability. You can unzip the back panel for added breathability, and there is a seat liner with mesh material that you can add as well. This is great because you can just wash the liner. Then in the winter months, you have that extra layer of warmth.
The harness is no-rethread, which makes it easy to adjust as your child grows or if you are like me and switch between multiple aged kids using the stroller. The padding is plush and actually stays in place.
It has a magnetic buckle that I have mixed feelings about, but it is an improvement over the Silver Cross Jet Double buckle.
My kids were very comfortable in this stroller’s seat. However, when I put my very tall four-year-old in it, her head was too tall for the canopy. The seatback is not the tallest, so this is something to keep in mind if you are shopping for an older toddler. The US manual limits use to 55 pounds or four years, whichever comes first.
The canopy on the Breez has a magnetic peekaboo window that stays open, even on windy days. Silver Cross materials just look and feel so luxe, and that is one thing that really sets them apart from other brands.
There is also a zippered canopy extension, plus an additional zippered panel you can add for even more coverage. I did take that extra panel off because my kids are a little older now, and it was blocking their visibility. But it is a good addition, especially when you are using the newborn recline and want maximum sun coverage.
The footrest is large and adjusts with one hand, and I actually found that the extension is much longer than what you typically find on strollers. My one-year-old really loved that extra length. There is also a lower footrest for older children. With the height adjustment on the seat, my four-year-old was able to use the lower footrest comfortably, which is a great add-on.
Speaking of the height adjustment, with the push of a button, you can raise or lower the seat to have your baby closer to you. In midsize strollers, babies tend to sit a little lower because the frame is more compact. Silver Cross thought of that, and you can use this height adjustment in any mode: forward facing, parent facing, bassinet, or car seat. I think that is a really nice feature.
The seat also has memory buttons for switching between parent-facing and forward-facing positions. You can have your baby closer or further away from you, depending on the configuration.

The Breez works with select Nuna, Maxi-Cosi, Cybex and Clek infant car seats using the adapters sold separately. The adapters are easy to attach, the car seat connects easily, and you can fold the stroller with the adapters still on, which is a nice convenience.
This is actually where the Breez really shines. Not only is there a foldable bassinet option, but you also have a newborn recline built right into the seat with multiple recline positions. There is a Newborn Cocoon that snaps under the seat for extra support during those first six months. I love that Silver Cross made this removable. You only need it for the first six months or so, and after that, you can take it off, so it is not attached to your stroller every time you fold it. When you need it, it snaps right back on and secures to the bumper bar.
I love this bassinet. Silver Cross did an amazing job with it. The quality of the materials is really incredible, just like the seat.
One thing I struggled with when using a bassinet with my first baby was not having enough sun coverage. I live in a very warm climate, and so many times we would be walking with the sun behind us, and it would hit the baby right in the face. The Breez bassinet has an extension on the canopy that can cover almost the entire bassinet from the sun, which is a fantastic feature.
There are mesh panels in the bassinet for airflow, and you can also unzip the mesh in the canopy for added ventilation. For colder climates, Silver Cross thought of that too! There is a foot muff extension that even has magnets to keep the panel in place. I have often fought with snaps on other strollers to try to get them to stay. I think the magnets are super innovative and so much easier!
The mattress is plush with a zip-off cover that is easy to wash, which is a really nice detail considering spit-up and baby blowouts that will inevitably happen.
And, the best part? The bassinet is foldable! Put the handlebar in the lower position, pull a button, and the bassinet folds in half so easily. You can do it all with one hand. If you live in a city and need to carry a bassinet upstairs or onto the subway, this is a really cool feature. To open it, just pull it open from the handlebar (there is no latch, which I actually love), push the bassinet down until it clicks, and you are ready to go.
STEERING & TURNING
Great
Ease of turning and navigating tight spaces, compared with other mid-size everyday strollers.
UNEVEN SURFACES
Great
How it pushes over bumps, gravel, and uneven sidewalks, compared with other mid-size everyday strollers.
The Breez has a one-hand adjustable handlebar that reaches a decent height for taller parents, and it also goes to a nice lower setting. I just had a follower comment on TikTok that they were looking for a stroller where the canopy was not too high to see over, and this would be a really good option. That is a nice benefit of the midsize category: you have a smaller frame and chassis, so if you are on the shorter side, this could work really well for you.
I also really like how Silver Cross positioned the brake and the bar on the back a little higher than what you typically see. You still get that good reinforcement in the frame, but you are not going to be kicking it as much while walking.
Silver Cross also sells a diaper bag with straps for the dedicated attachment points on the Breez. I have been testing the diaper bag and think it is a good option overall. There’s not a ton of pockets or storage, but the fact that you can hang it right on the stroller is really cool. They also sell a parent organizer.
The basket holds an impressive 22 pounds and is easy to access from the front and just okay from the back. There is a little magnet pocket in the back that is perfect for your phone. Overall, I found the basket very functional for everyday use.
The brake is flip-flop friendly, which I always test for, and super easy to use! One thing to note: if you have the seat in the fully reclined position or are using the bassinet at its higher setting, you may have to feel around a bit to find the brake with your foot. This is not unique to the Breez, but just something to consider.
We have taken the Breez to parks, gone on grass and gravel, and it has handled all of it really well. Is this an all-terrain stroller? No. But if you are going to be navigating bumpy sidewalks and a variety of terrain, the Breez is going to perform much better than most travel strollers. That is the real benefit of going with a midsize stroller. The suspension is surprisingly good for a stroller this compact.
The wheels on this stroller are super innovative. They feel almost like a soft foam. When I was unboxing and putting the wheels on, I honestly thought I was going to have to inflate them, but you do not.
EASE OF FOLDING
Easy
One-handed fold
One of the standout features of the Breez is how compact it folds. It actually folds better with the seat in the parent-facing position, which is great for new parents because you will likely have your baby facing towards you for that first year. Most strollers you have to world face to fold, so not having to turn the seat around to fold the stroller is so nice.
To fold, you pull the seat up towards the handlebar with a simple lever, then push a button and pull a handle underneath, and the stroller folds in half. For the most compact fold, put the handlebar in its lowest position so the stroller stands on its own. But you can also fold it without adjusting the handlebar first, which is something I honestly did a lot because with three children, getting everyone out of the car is enough work on its own.
The stroller pops open easily and works the same way whether the seat is parent-facing or forward-facing. There is a carry strap for when you need to carry it. Silver Cross lists 22.6 pounds before the bumper bar and seat liner, so your stroller will weigh more with those attached.
You could travel with this stroller, though I would plan to gate-check it. As a suburban mom, I definitely appreciate how much easier this is to load in and out of the trunk compared to many full-size strollers.
