It's not the most affordable option, but its luxurious design and features make it well worth the cost.

4. Thule Shine
Thule is a brand well-known for its stylish and practical products, and the Shine stroller is no different. It is one of the lightest strollers available on the market and feels solid and solid to hold despite its simple design. It's also extremely versatile and can be used as a bassinet, or Newborn Inlay from birth, and also as a Maxi Cosi car adapter.
Unlike 2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller like the Shine does not disappoint when it comes to cargo storage, either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to take everything you require on day trips without having to worry about putting everything in the back.
It's also easy to put together with the back wheels securing to the main frame straight out of the box. 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair is easy to attach and comes with handles similar to those on the Moses basket. When you're done with it the pram folds to a neat and compact size that you can put it in the smallest of cars.
Thule's canopy air purifier is also an excellent feature. It has a built-in air filter that eliminates dust, bacteria, viruses, pollen and other nasty things. Thule claims that it will filter 150l of air every minute, and it can be connected to an app that shows your local air quality.
The only downside is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 prams it still costs more than PS1,000 for the complete kit. That's especially hard to swallow when you have alternatives such as the Thule Spring that is smaller and lighter and costs less than half the price.
The durability of Thule's strollers is legendary and I have seen them put to the test at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. To test the strength and quality of their strollers they drop them from high places and crash down slopes, then traverse a bumpy track in the snow. They certainly look good!
