Silver Cross Motion 2 All-Size 360 Car Seat

4.6 (72)
The BubsNest Verdict

This is a proper investment piece that grows with your child for over a decade and keeps them rear-facing until age 4, which is brilliant for safety. Perfect for parents who want one seat to rule them all and don't mind the bulk, but skip it if you frequently move car seats between vehicles or need something lightweight.

⚠️The weight (around 15kg) makes this a nightmare to transfer between cars—treat it as a permanent installation in one vehicle.

BubsNest expert analysis of 6 parenting forum discussions

“Praised for safety, comfort and 360-degree rotation, but heavy and bulky”

7.6

Solid Choice

The Silver Cross Motion All Size 2 i-Size Car Seat is a well-reviewed premium car seat that parents find safe, comfortable and convenient thanks to its 360-degree rotating base. However, many note it is quite heavy and bulky, making it difficult to move between vehicles. Overall, it seems like a great choice for families who can accommodate its size, but may not work as well for those needing to frequently transfer the seat.

What parents love

Safety featuresParents highlight the Motion's i-Size approval, side impact protection, and extended rear-facing capabilities as key safety benefits.
Comfort and adjustabilityThe well-padded seat, adjustable headrest, and multiple recline positions help keep little ones cosy and supported.
Rotating baseThe 360-degree rotating base makes it easy to get babies in and out of the seat, a feature many find very convenient.

Worth knowing

Size and weightSeveral parents note the Motion is quite large and heavy, making it challenging to move between cars or carry long distances.
PriceAt £350, the Motion is one of the more expensive car seats on the market, though some feel it's worth the investment.

Best for

  • Families with a single primary vehicle
  • Parents who don't need to frequently transfer the seat

May not suit

  • Frequent car swappers or those with limited boot space
  • Smaller vehicles where the size may be restrictive
