4. Thule Shine

The Shine stroller is from a brand that is known for its stylish, practical products. It's among the lightest strollers on market, and feels solid and robust in your hands despite its simple design. It's also extremely versatile, with the capability to be used from birth due to the accessories included that transform it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).

Unlike some other lightweight prams like the Shine does not disappoint in terms of storage for cargo either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to take everything you require on a day trip without worrying about leaving anything behind.

The wheels are also easy to attach to the frame. They simply clip on from the box. The bassinet is easy to put together and has handles that are similar to those of the Moses basket. The pram can be folded down to a compact, neat size, so it can fit in even the tiniest of cars.

Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout too, with a built-in fan that filters the air you breathe to remove bacteria, viruses, pollen, and other nasty contaminants. Thule claims that it can filter 150l per minute of air and is compatible with an app which shows the local air quality.

The only issue is the price. While it's less expensive than some other 2-in-1 prams, the entire kit costs more than PS1,000. This is especially difficult to accept when there are alternatives like the Thule Spring which is smaller and lighter and costs half the price.

Thule's strollers are renowned for their durability and I've seen them go through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. To test the quality and strength of their strollers they drop them from heights and crash down slopes, then traverse a bumpy track in the snow. They certainly look great!
