Frequently Asked Questions - Kensington Silver Cross

How do I assemble the Silver Cross Kensington pram?

Start by checking all parts: chassis, two front wheels, two rear wheels, shopping tray, pram body, liner, mattress, and apron.
Attach the wheels by tilting the chassis, pulling the metal tab on the wheel, and sliding onto the axles (small wheels at front).
Unfold the chassis: ensure the metal locking ring is clear, pull the handle up, engage secondary safety catch, and slide locking rings down.
Attach the pram body: apply brake, unlock body locks, lift body by handles, lower onto chassis until it clicks into locks, then lock the clips.
Fit the shopping tray by positioning between the 'C' frames and clicking into place.
Attach the hood by lifting into position and pushing down levers on both sides. Finally, secure the apron with press studs.

How do I fold the Kensington chassis?

First remove the pram body from the chassis (never with child inside).
Release the catches on both sides of the pram, then lift the body clear.
Slide the metal rings up the handle, pull back the secondary safety catch, and allow the handle to travel forward until it rests on the chassis.
For even more compact storage, remove the wheels by pulling the tab and sliding them off.

What is the maximum weight limit for a child?

The Silver Cross Kensington pram is suitable for a child up to 9 kg. It is intended for use from birth up to approximately 6 months, or until the child can sit up by itself, roll over, or push up on hands and knees.

How do I attach the pram body to the chassis?

Never attempt this with a child inside. Apply the brake, ensure the metal body locks are in the unlocked position.
With two people, lift the body by the lifting handles, lower it gently onto the chassis so that it locates into the metal body locks on both sides.
Then lock the metal clips by lifting them up and pushing downwards. Always check both sides are securely fastened.

How do I use the brake?

To apply the brake, push down on the pedal with your foot. To release, lift the pedal up with your foot.
Always apply the brake when the pram is stationary. Never force the brake pedal downwards; always lift to release.

How do I clean the liner and mattress?

Refer to the wash care label on the fabric parts for specific instructions. The liner has elasticated corners and press studs; it can be removed for cleaning. The mattress cover is also removable. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.

What additional accessories are available for the Kensington?

Silver Cross offers a range of optional accessories including a Sun Canopy, Bedding Set, Dust Cover, Rain Shield, and Changing Bag. The changing bag can be attached to the handle but must not exceed 1 kg load.

What safety standards does the Kensington pram meet?

The Kensington pram conforms to BS EN 1888:2012 (with the exemption of clauses 8.10.3, 8.10.4, 8.10.6). It includes a parking brake, safety catches, and warnings about stability and load limits.

How do I adjust the mattress support board?

The support board 'A' can be fixed in either a flat or angled position. Ensure the support board is placed firmly against the stops 'B'. The head rest part of the mattress should be nearest the hood.

What should I do if a part of my Kensington pram breaks?

Contact your Silver Cross retailer for assistance. The pram comes with a 12-month guarantee against manufacturing faults; you can extend to 5 years by registering. Spare parts are available online at heritage-prams.co.uk.
