How to fold your Silver Cross Wave for collection

Seat or carrycot off, then the frame folds flat with the handlebar and is held shut by the fold lock strap.

Get it ready

  1. Step 1: Empty the basket and any pockets.

  2. 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.

Take it apart

  1. Step 3: Close the canopy.

  2. Step 4: Pull the release buttons on both sides of the seat and lift the seat off.

  3. Step 5: If the carrycot is fitted instead, press its release buttons on both sides and lift it off.

  4. Step 6: Take off the cup holder and any car seat or tandem adaptors.

Fold the frame

  1. Step 7: Lock the front wheels so they cannot swivel.

  2. Step 8: Put the brake on.

  3. Step 9: Press and hold the fold release button on the handlebar.

  4. Step 10: Pull the fold release triggers on both sides of the handlebar towards you.

  5. Step 11: Push the handlebar down gently until the frame folds flat.

  6. Step 12: Close the fold lock strap on the side of the frame until it clicks.

Good to know

  • The rear wheels come off: press the button in the middle of the wheel hub and lift the wheel off. Handy if the box is tight.
  • The same fold works on the Wave 3 (2024) and the earlier Wave travel system.

Pack the box

  1. Step 13: Put the folded frame in the box first, wheels down.

  2. Step 14: Slide the seat unit or carrycot in beside it, then tuck the small bits into the gaps. A carrier bag keeps them together.

  3. Step 15: 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.
