Why it stands out

Lie-flat newborn recline, one-hand self-standing fold and a 55 lb capacity.

Overview

The Clic is Silver Cross’s compact travel stroller, built around a lie-flat recline the brand says is usable from birth. Silver Cross lists a self-standing one-hand fold and a 55 lb weight capacity - one of the highest here.

Design and comfort

A Magnetic Genius™ buckle secures in three simple steps, and cushioned harness pads add comfort on longer outings. The seat reclines one-handed all the way to fully flat, includes a newborn apron, and the UPF 50+ hood has a pop-out sun visor for extra coverage. The handlebar is styled in vegan leather, and the anti-crease jersey fabric is designed to keep its shape on the road.

Fold and handling

The self-standing fold operates with one hand and freestands on two wheels once collapsed, meeting IATA hand-luggage sizing for the cabin. A pull-out shoulder strap is built in for carrying rather than a separate travel bag, and lockable wheels help with tight city turns.

Newborn use and car seat compatibility

The included newborn apron pairs with the lie-flat recline for genuine from-birth use, and the included bumper bar doubles as a car-seat adapter for the Nuna Pipa RX, Pipa Urbn and Joie Mint.

Warranty

Silver Cross backs the Clic with a 3-year warranty if you register within 28 days of purchase, or 2 years otherwise.

Who the Clic is best for

It’s built for parents who want one stroller that’s genuinely lie-flat from birth and still meets airline cabin-bag sizing, without needing a separate bassinet.

Airline notes & sources

United: United says collapsible strollers can be stored in the cabin. Dimensions, aircraft and available space still apply. Standard strollers can be checked free at the gate; confirm any operating-carrier restrictions. Carry-on sizes ↗ · Traveling with children ↗

Delta: Delta publishes free stroller checking at the gate or counter. The reviewed child-baggage page does not explicitly confirm compact-stroller cabin admission. Ask Delta before relying on overhead storage. Carry-on sizes ↗ · Stroller policy ↗

American Airlines: American’s Conditions of Carriage state that a fully collapsible stroller under 20 lb may be carried into the cabin if it fits in the overhead bin - available space and aircraft type can still affect whether it’s accepted. Heavier or non-collapsible strollers are gate-checked or checked at the ticket counter instead. One stroller and one car seat can be checked free, with only one of them at the gate. Carry-on sizes ↗ · Stroller policy ↗ · Conditions of Carriage ↗

Air Canada: Air Canada also lists a stroller-specific condition: collapsed diameter up to 25.5 cm and length up to 92 cm. This box-size comparison does not establish compliance with that separate rule. Confirm your configuration with Air Canada. Carry-on sizes and stroller condition ↗

Southwest: Southwest’s own stroller policy page only describes checking a stroller - free at the curb, ticket counter or gate - with no mention of cabin or overhead-bin storage at any size. Treat it as check-only unless a Southwest agent tells you otherwise at the airport. Stroller policy ↗

These are the official carry-on box limits each airline publishes, not always a stroller-specific policy. In practice, plenty of parents report fitting slightly larger strollers in the actual overhead bin - but the airline can still require gate-checking if there isn’t room. Reviewed 2026-09-13. Check your operating carrier, aircraft and any bag or accessories.
