Silver Cross has been synonymous with luxury baby gear for almost 150 years, and the Wave 3 is no exception. It’s designed to future-proof your strolls, offering an impressive 12 configurations right out of the box (yes, 12!) and up to 30 different modes with optional accessories. 

So, whether you're strolling solo with your newborn, pushing two kids at once, or adding a third little rider with an optional ride-on board, the Wave 3 has got you covered. 

Ready to dive in? Let’s break it down! 
 

Unboxing the Wave 3

The Wave 3 is an instant single-to-double transformer that comes loaded with everything you need! 

Right out of the box, you get a robust chassis with smooth-riding suspension and puncture-proof wheels, along with a bassinet lined with breathable bamboo fabric that’s also approved for overnight sleeping.  

You get a reversible main seat unit that features a three-position recline and has an adjustable calf support to keep your child comfortable at all times.  

Unlike the Wave 2023 model, Silver Cross includes a tandem seat with the Wave 3, allowing you to instantly switch to a double stroller when needed. To make setup even easier, Wave tandem adapters are also provided, so you can get rolling with two passengers right away. We also love that both the main seat and tandem seat have an extended weight capacity of 55 lbs, one of the highest we’ve seen on a convertible stroller. 

Additional accessories include two bumper bars (one for the bassinet and one for the seat), a rain cover and bug net to protect your little one from the elements, a spacious shopping basket for all your essentials, and a cup holder that attaches to either side to keep your coffee within reach! 
 

From One Kid to Three 

 Silver Cross wasn’t messing around when they designed the Wave 3. Right out of the box, you get 12 single and double riding configurations. 

But if you're looking to customize even more, adding extra accessories unlocks 30 different ways to set up your ride! Want to attach an infant car seat and turn it into a bonafide travel system? You got it. Need space for a third passenger? Silver Cross makes a ride-on board for just that reason! 
 

Luxury Meets Comfort 

 Silver Cross has nailed the details with the Wave 3’s refined British tailoring and premium vegan leather accents. 

It comes in two stylish colours: 

Licorice: Classic all-black, sleek and sophisticated. 

Caramel: A warm, natural hue that feels modern and fresh. (Baby brands are all about earthy tones in 2025!) 

Plus, let’s not forget the bamboo fabric lining inside the bassinet — it’s naturally antibacterial and helps regulate temperature. If you pair it with the Wave Bassinet Stand, you get an overnight sleeping solution that’s perfect for home or travel. 
 

Built for Every Terrain 

The Wave 3 is designed to glide effortlessly over any surface, whether you're navigating city sidewalks, rough trails, or uneven pavement.  

Its four-way independent suspension absorbs shocks and bumps, ensuring a smooth ride for your little one. The puncture-proof, multi-terrain tires are built to handle everything from cobblestones to dirt paths without breaking a sweat. Plus, its multi-height handlebar offers five adjustable positions, making it easy for parents of any height to push comfortably without hunching or straining. 
 

Safety & Storage 

If strapping in your wiggly baby feels like wrestling a tiny octopus, the Genius Harness System in the Wave 3 will be your new best friend. Featuring magnetic buckles that snap into place effortlessly and backpack-style strap adjustments, this system makes securing your little one quick, easy, and foolproof — no more digging around for straps while your baby tries to make a great escape! 

When it comes to storage, the Wave 3 truly understands the parent struggle. Its extra-large storage basket gives you plenty of room for everything from diaper bags and toys to snacks and that impromptu shopping spree.  

Need your hands free for wrangling the kiddies? No problem! The included cup holder keeps your coffee (or hydration of choice) within reach. After all, a well-caffeinated parent is a happy parent!

Wave 3 vs. Wave 2023 

Silver Cross has taken everything parents loved about the Wave 2023 and made it even better with the Wave 3. From added value to fresh design choices, this updated model includes key upgrades that make strolling easier, sleeker, and more budget-friendly.  

Here’s a quick list of the upgrades: 

• Tandem seat now included — no extra purchase required! 
  
  
• Streamlined accessories — one rain cover and one bug net instead of two. 
  
  
• New Caramel colour — trendy, natural, and oh-so-chic! 
  
  
• More value — more upgrades and the Wave 3 is still $80 cheaper than the Wave 2023 was at launch.
