Our story began when a young Englishman changed the world - William Wilson invented the world's first baby carriage at his workshop on Silver Cross Street in Leeds.
William Wilson - Founder
His invention was a unique idea that would change parenting forever. His prototype combined spring technology with a reversible hood.
What followed was more than innovation – it made history. It’s a story built on carrying generations with care. For 150 years, families have trusted Silver Cross to support their most precious moments. Our heritage is iconic, but our vision is future facing.
As demand grew, Silver Cross prams became a symbol of quality.
Hand-built with meticulous attention to detail, they earned a reputation for durability, beauty and engineering that stands the test of time.
Our legacy is carried forward by the people behind the brand, whose commitment, craftsmanship and years of service continue to shape Silver Cross today.
For generations, Silver Cross has been chosen by families across the world, including the Royal Family, supplying a Silver Cross baby carriage to George VI and the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, cementing our status as a brand woven into the fabric of British family life.
