4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller comes from a brand known for its stylish, practical products. It's one of the lightest strollers on market and feels solid and robust to hold despite its minimalist design. It's also incredibly versatile with the ability to be used right from birth thanks to the accessories that come with it which transform it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest and a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).
The Shine is not like other lightweight prams when it comes to cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to bring everything you need on an excursion without worrying about leaving anything behind.
The wheels are also easy to attach to the frame. They snap on straight from the box. If you buy the bassinet that comes with it the frame snaps on easily and has handles for carrying similar to those of a Moses basket. The pram folds down to a compact and neat size, so it can be tucked away in the smallest cars.
Thule's canopy air purifier is an excellent feature. It has a built-in air filter that gets rid of dust, bacteria, viruses pollen, and other harmful things. Thule claims that it can remove 150 litres of air per minute and connects to an app that shows the air quality in your area.
The only downside is the price. Even though it's less expensive than other 2 in 1 prams it still costs more than PS1,000 for the full kit. It's even harder to accept when there are less expensive alternatives, like the Thule spring which is smaller and lighter.
The durability of Thule's strollers is legendary, and I have seen them tested at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. They drop prams from a height and then slam them down slopes and ride them across bumpy tracks in the snow to test their performance and strength. They certainly come out looking good!
