4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller comes from a brand known for its stylish, practical products. It's among the lightest strollers on market, and it feels sturdy and sturdy to hold despite its simple design. It's also incredibly versatile and can be used from birth due to the accessories that come with it that transform it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest and a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).
Unlike some other lightweight prams that are lighter, the Shine doesn't let you down in terms of cargo storage, either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine allows you to take everything you require on day trips without having to worry about leaving anything behind.
It's also simple to put together, with the back wheels being attached to the main frame straight out of the box. The bassinet is easy to attach and comes with handles that are similar to those of the Moses basket. The pram folds down to a compact and tidy size, meaning it can be tucked away in the tiniest cars.
Thule's canopy air purifier is an excellent feature. It is a built-in air filter that eliminates bacteria, viruses, dust pollen, and other harmful things. Thule claims that it can clean up 150 liters of air every minute and connects to an app that shows the air quality in your area.
The only issue is the price. Even though it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 prams, it still costs more than PS1,000 for the full kit. It's even more difficult to take in when there are cheaper alternatives, like the Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.
2 in 1 pram and pushchair of Thule's strollers is legendary and I've seen them tested at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. To test the quality and strength of their prams, they drop them from high places and crash down slopes, then run over a bumpy track in the snow. They certainly look great!
