Silver Cross Dune vs Reef: This or That?

Silver Cross Dune vs Reef: This or That?

By Bamby Babi

Enelio Ortega



We first presented the concepts of Dune and Reef in September 2019 at Cologne. Of course, you may remember that room. We've listened to your feedback since then, talked to families and over the past two years we've been working really hard to refine both concepts to what you're about to see today. These amazing new products take our core travel systems to a completely new level of sophistication, both functionally and aesthetically. Dune is our most compact urban travel system which is perfect for city living. Meanwhile, the Reef stroller will match any modern parent’s taste and style while providing the baby with a safe, comfortable ride, always. This ultimate multi-terrain system offers premium comfort while remaining practical and stylish.
