Which Silver Cross pieces hold their value
- Coach-built prams such as the Balmoral and Kensington, which are restored and collected and sit well outside the ordinary pushchair market
- The Wave, which converts to a tandem and is the modern model second-time parents search for
- Original chrome and coachwork in sound condition on the heritage prams, since restoration is skilled work and is what most of the value rests on
- Complete modern systems with the carrycot, adapters and rain cover, which are costly to assemble piece by piece
And what pulls the price down
- Pitted chrome and rusted springs on coach-built prams, which is the standard way they deteriorate in a damp garage and is expensive to put right
- Perished tyres on the heritage models, which are a specialist size and not simply bought off a shelf
- Any car seat that has been in a collision or is past the date moulded into its shell, which should be disposed of rather than sold
- Sun-faded and stained fabrics on the modern systems, which buyers inspect closely because the seat is where the child sits
Identifying and dating yours
These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:
- Heritage prams carry the maker’s name on the body and a plate or transfer giving the model — photograph the coachwork and the chrome separately
- Modern chassis carry a serial on the frame near the fold, alongside the model name
- For a coach-built pram, photograph the underside of the body and the spring gear, because that is where corrosion starts and where buyers look first
WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions
Is used Silver Cross worth buying?
It depends far more on the line than the label. Silver Cross covers two quite separate markets: modern travel systems, and the coach-built prams that have been made since 1877. The second are collected as objects and are valued on entirely different terms. Each guide below says which Silver Cross lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.
How do I check a piece is genuine Silver Cross?
Heritage prams carry the maker’s name on the body and a plate or transfer giving the model — photograph the coachwork and the chrome separately. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
