Brands have been collaborating with designer labels for a long time, so when the legendary British sportscar maker Aston Martin teamed up with luxury pram brand Silver Cross to build the Surf Aston Martin Edition carriage we jumped at the chance to get one. Until we saw the price.
At $5,999 this pram is not cheap although it is advertised as the most ‘exclusive ride in the world’. The Aston Martin pram takes inspiration from the sports car’s technology such as Air-ride suspension, touch perfect handling and an ultra-lightweight magnesium alloy structure. The design of the aluminium alloy wheels is based on the Aston Martin One-77, which retails for £1.2 million ($2.18 million AUD).
It doesn’t skimp on the quality of the fabrics either with Alcantara-lined seat pad and leather-trimmed handle and bumper bar which is matched to hand-stitched black leather handles and bumper bar. Also included with the pram is a 100% cashmere baby blanket.
“For mums and dads who love their luxury cars, we’ve got the most stylish and advanced travel system for parents to be strolling in absolute awe with our car-inspired limited edition pam,” said Stuart Skene, Managing Director, Silver Cross Australia.
Each Surf Aston Martin Edition pram comes with its own certificate of authenticity and an engraved plaque to confirm that it is one of a limited edition models, just in case the other parents at the playground didn’t believe you.
“It’s the perfect choice for parents, including George and Amal Clooney who wanted to experience the very best with their baby right from day one,” said Mr Skene.
Finely etched logos, polished chrome detailing and Aston Martin badges add a final stamp of luxury to this luxurious baby stroller. Worldwide there will only be 800 of these special edition Silver Cross Aston Martin Surf prams so you better get in quick.
The Surf Aston Martin Edition pram is available online from Silver Cross Australia if you too want to keep up with the Clooneys.
