Another great feature of the Maclaren is its speedy and easy fold. It's a bit slower than the average however, it only requires one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a small pram that can easily fit into tight spaces.
This model is not recommended for infants. However, it is suitable for children aged 3 months and older. You can purchase one of Maclaren's lighter umbrella strollers if your child requires a pram for your child at this stage. It's a great choice for older children and babies, as they will be content to sleep on the seat, either at home or on the road.

The M&P Pramette is a fantastic pram/pushchair combo for first-time parents as well as families with two children. It includes a carrycot that's approved for sleep at night and easily converts into a double pushchair when the timing is appropriate. It's not the most affordable option, but its luxurious design and features make it well worth the cost.
Claire was able to maneuver this pram on different terrains and in confined areas like narrow store aisles. The swivel wheel helped her steer the pram with precision. Moreover, its compact fold size makes it easy to store at home. The huge air-filled tyres guarantee an enjoyable ride and are capable of handling off-road surfaces, too. The hood can be lowered to the baby's feet for sun protection or for a cozy sleep and is very simple to use.
Another great feature is the reversible seat that allows you to change the direction your child faces. The reclining seat also provides good head and back support, so that your child can have a comfy and relaxing nap in the seat or carrycot. Claire liked the large shopping basket that is easily accessible from the seat or carrycot at any angle. It can accommodate an entire pack of nappies as well as a change bag.

It comes with the chassis, a seat for the pushchair and a lie-flat carrycot but other accessories such as the rain cover need to be purchased separately.

4. Thule Shine
Thule is a brand well-known for its stylish and practical products and the Shine stroller is no different. It's one of the lightest prams on the market and feels sturdy and solid in your hands despite its simple design. It's also extremely versatile, with the capability to be used right from birth thanks to the included accessories that convert it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).
The Shine is not like other prams that are lightweight in the area of cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to carry everything you require on an excursion without having to worry about putting everything in the back.
The wheels are also easy to attach to the frame. They simply clip on from the box. If you choose to purchase the optional bassinet that is attached, it can be plugged in with ease and comes with carry handles similar to those of a Moses basket. The pram folds down to a compact and small size, which means it can be tucked away in the smallest cars.
Thule's air purifier canopy is a highlight as well, with an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe to eliminate pollen, bacteria, viruses and other harmful contaminants. Thule claims that it can clean 150 litres per minute of air and is compatible with an app which shows the quality of the air in your area.
The only downside is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2-in-1 prams complete kit still costs more than PS1,000. That's especially hard to swallow when there are alternatives like the Thule Spring that is smaller and lighter and costs less than half as much.
Thule's strollers are known for their durability, and I've seen them through the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the durability and quality of their prams they drop them from high places and then crash them down slopes. They also traverse a bumpy track in the snow. They look amazing!
