A fully-coverage sun visor with a full-coverage hood will shield your child from the elements. The parent tray with cup holders and storage compartments is a great place to store essentials.

Its sleek design makes it easier to push across uneven surfaces. The rear-facing seat and footrest that can be reversible as well as the slim profile allow you to easily reach the doors of shops.
Another excellent aspect of the Maclaren is its speedy and easy fold. It's slower than the average of this class however, it takes only one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a tiny pram that can easily fit into tight spaces.
This model isn't suitable for babies however it is suitable from 3 months and up - you can always buy one of Maclaren's umbrella strollers for infants should you require a pram for that stage. It's a great option for older babies and children, as they will be content to sleep on the seat, either at home or while travelling.

The M&P Pramette is a great pram/pushchair combo for first-time parents as well as families with two children. It includes a carrycot-approved for overnight sleep and easily converts into a double pushchair at the appropriate time. It's not cheap, but its plush design and features make it well worth the investment.
Claire found it easy to maneuver this pram over different terrains and in confined areas like narrow store aisles. The swivel wheels made it easier to navigate it with precision. Furthermore, its compact folding size makes it easy to keep it at home. The large air-filled tires provide a smooth ride, and can also handle off-road surfaces. The hood can easily be lowered to the baby's foot to protect against sun rays or for a cozy snooze.
The reversible model is a fantastic feature, since it allows you to change the direction in which your child's face is. The reclining seat offers good head and back support so your little one can have a comfy and relaxing nap in the seat or carrycot.

4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller is a brand that is known for its stylish, practical products. It's one of the lightest strollers on the market and feels sturdy and solid in your hands despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile, with the ability to be used from birth due to the accessories included that convert it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest, as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).
Unlike some other lightweight prams, the Shine will not let you down in terms of storage for cargo either. Its 22-pound capacity allows you to carry everything you need for a day out without having to leave anything behind.
The wheels are easy to attach to the frame. They snap on straight from the box. If you opt for the bassinet that comes with it that is attached, it can be plugged in easily and has handles for carrying similar to those of a Moses basket. When you're done the pram folds down to a neat and compact size, allowing you to fit it in the smallest of cars.
Thule's canopy air purifier is an impressive feature. It is a built-in air filter that eliminates bacteria, viruses, dust pollen, and other unpleasant things. Thule claims that it can clean 150l per minute of air and can be connected to an app that 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 entire kit costs more than PS1,000. This is especially difficult to accept when there are other options like the Thule Spring which is lighter and smaller and costs half as much.
The durability of Thule's strollers is legendary, and I've seen them put to the test at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. They drop prams from a height and then slam them down slopes, then run them over a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their performance and durability. They look fantastic!
