How to fold your Silver Cross Reef for collection

The Reef folds with the seat still on, facing either way, into a compact self-standing fold.

Get it ready

Step 1: Empty the basket and any pockets.
Step 2: Take off the rain cover, footmuff, cup holder and anything else clipped on. They go in the box too if you told us about them.

Step 5: Put the brake on and lock the front wheels so they cannot swivel.
Step 6: Pull the recline handle on the back of the seat and fold the backrest down onto the seat.
Step 7: Press the handlebar adjust button and push the handlebar all the way in.
Step 8: Work the three fold controls on the handlebar together: the safety catch, the fold trigger and the fold button.
Step 9: Push the handlebar down and forward until the frame folds.
Step 10: Check the fold lock has engaged before you lift it.

You can fold it with the seat parent-facing or world-facing, so there is no need to take the seat off.
Folded, the Reef stands on its own wheels, which makes it easy to lower into the box.

Step 11: Put the folded frame in the box first, wheels down.
Step 12: Slide the seat unit or carrycot in beside it, then tuck the small bits into the gaps. A carrier bag keeps them together.
Step 13: Tape the box shut along every seam. There is no label to print: the DPD driver brings it.

Buttons and handles move about a little between production years. If yours looks different, the fold steps in your manual are the ones to follow.
