Silver Cross Cove 2 All-Terrain Stroller
Silver Cross — Babesta Pick: Best All Terrain Stroller for City Weekends Away
The Cove 2 all-terrain stroller by Silver Cross is built to rise to every occasion: town, mountains, sand, and every adventure between and beyond. Oversized RideTech wheels and an all-terrain suspension system deliver premium push quality in a full-size package that still folds down small, with the bassinet or seat left attached.
From a beachside stroll to open trails, the Cove 2 handles it without breaking a sweat, and folds away in seconds when it's time to head back to the car, the train, or the front door.

Best For/Not For
Best For
-
Families who split time between city sidewalks and weekend trips to the mountains, beach, or trails: the oversized RideTech wheels and all-terrain suspension handle it all
-
Parents who want to fold the stroller one-handed without removing the bassinet or seat first
-
Newborn-to-toddler families who want every mode in one stroller: bassinet, rear-facing, forward-facing, and full travel system
-
Parents who want to bring baby closer for interaction, thanks to the 2-height elevation system
-
Households that want the most advanced harness safety in the line, with the Magnetic Genius 2™ buckle and no-rethread harness
-
Parents who need a genuinely large storage basket, up to 22 lbs
-
Anyone who wants a full-size stroller they can still carry up stairs or through a subway turnstile, thanks to the shoulder carry strap
Not Ideal for
-
Families who want the lightest possible everyday stroller: at 25.48 lbs for the chassis and seat (excluding bumper bar and canopy), this is a full-size stroller, not an ultra-lightweight one
-
Parents who want a bassinet included at purchase: the bassinet and additional accessories are sold separately
-
Very tight apartment storage: assembled height reaches nearly 43 inches
Is It Suitable for My Baby's Age?
Newborn (0–6 months)
The Cove 2 strolls with the separately sold bassinet or with the reversible seat's lie-flat recline, making it a genuine newborn option in either configuration. The 2-height elevation system also lets you bring a newborn closer for interaction rather than leaving them at a fixed distance.
Infant (6–12 months)
The reversible seat, adjustable hood height, and UPF 50+ protection keep a more upright, alert baby comfortable and shaded as they take in more of the world around them.
Toddler (1–4 years)
With a 55 lb weight capacity and all-terrain suspension built for rougher ground, the Cove 2 keeps pace with a toddler who's ready for trails and beach days, not just sidewalks.
Is It Good for NYC/City Use?
The RideTech wheels and all-terrain suspension smooth out potholes and cobblestones just as well as they handle a dirt trail upstate, and the one-hand Genius™ Fold, which works with the bassinet or seat still attached, plus the shoulder carry strap, make this a full-size stroller you can actually manage on a subway staircase.
Compared to Babesta's own Silver Cross Reef 2, which weighs 26.5 lbs and folds to 19"L x 23.5"W x 29"H, the Cove 2 is a touch lighter at 25.48 lbs and folds dramatically more compact at 12.01"L x 24.02"W x 27.95"H, while matching the Reef 2's 55 lb weight capacity. Compared to the Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew, which weighs 26.45 lbs and is rated to 50 lbs, the Cove 2 is about the same weight, carries a child to a higher weight limit, and folds notably shorter.

Why Babesta Carries It
We carry the Cove 2 for families who genuinely need a stroller to do double duty: composed on a Tribeca sidewalk during the week, and just as capable on a beach boardwalk or a dirt path the following weekend. The all-terrain wheels and suspension aren't a marketing flourish here, they're the reason this stroller earns its spot for families who actually leave the five boroughs.
It's also the most advanced stroller in the Silver Cross line we carry: the Magnetic Genius 2™ buckle, the 2-height elevation system, and a fold compact enough to make a full-size, all-terrain stroller live in a city apartment. That combination is hard to find at this size.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Cove 2 be used as my only stroller from birth?
Yes. The Cove 2 strolls from birth using either the separately sold bassinet or the reversible seat's lie-flat recline, so it works as a single stroller through the newborn stage and beyond.
Does the Cove 2 include a bassinet?
No. The bassinet, along with additional accessories, is sold separately from the stroller itself.
Can the Cove 2 be used as a travel system with a car seat?
Yes, the Cove 2 can be used as a travel system. Specific compatible car seat brands aren't listed in the manufacturer information we have on file, so we'd recommend confirming compatibility with your specific seat in-store.
Is the Cove 2 suitable for rough terrain?
Yes. The oversized RideTech wheels and all-terrain suspension are built to handle everything from city sidewalks to sand and trails.
Can I fold the Cove 2 without removing the bassinet or seat?
Yes. The one-hand Genius™ Fold is a space-saving design that folds with the bassinet or seat still attached.
Is the Cove 2 suitable for a toddler?
Yes. It's rated from birth to 55 lbs, so it comfortably keeps up with a growing toddler.
Can I see or test the Cove 2 in person before buying?
Yes. You can test drive the Cove 2 in our store with a properly weighted test baby to get a real feel for it on the road.
Does the Cove 2 work for a baby registry?
Yes. You can build a baby registry with us on the Cove 2 and any other items, and our services apply automatically. If you already have a registry elsewhere, let us know and we can apply our services there too.
