How It Ranks

Traveling with the Silver Cross Jet 3

At the airport

The Silver Cross Jet 3 is impressively light at 5.9 kg and folds to 55x30x20 cm. The fold is compact and the stroller includes a carry handle that makes it easy to lug through security and along jetways. Under 5.9 kg, it is one of the lightest full-function travel strollers you can buy. The slim profile when folded means it fits easily on the X-ray conveyor belt.

On the plane

The Jet 3 fits in overhead bins on many airlines, though the 55 cm length is at the limit for some carriers with strict size policies. Parents report reliable success on wide-body aircraft and major international airlines. On smaller regional planes, gate checking is sometimes necessary. The included travel bag protects it during gate check and doubles as a convenient carrying case.

Good to know

The Silver Cross Jet series has a loyal following among British and Australian traveling families. The Jet 3 rides well for its weight and has a decent recline for naps. The canopy is adequate but not class-leading. It is less well-known in North America than the YOYO2 or Cybex alternatives, which can actually be an advantage since it is often available at a lower price. A solid choice for families who prioritize light weight.
