This model is not recommended for infants. However, it is suitable for children aged 3 months and over. You can purchase one of Maclaren's lightweight umbrella strollers if you need a pram at that stage. It's an excellent choice for older children and babies as they'll be content to sleep on the seat, either at home or when traveling.

The M&P Pramette is a fantastic pram/pushchair combination for first-time parents as well as families with two babies. It includes a carrycot that's approved for sleep at night and can easily be converted to a double pushchair when the timing is right. It's not a budget option but its luxurious design and features are worth the cost.
Claire found the pram comfortable to use on different terrain and in confined areas like narrow aisles in stores. The swivel wheel helped her guide the pram with precision. Its compact size makes it easy for you to store at home. The large air-filled tyres ensure an enjoyable ride and are able of handling off-road surfaces, too. The hood is easily lower to the infant's feet to protect against sun rays or for the comfort of a cosy snooze.
The reversible model is a fantastic feature, since it allows you to change the direction that the child's face is. The reclining seat also offers good head and back support, so that your child can enjoy a comfortable and peaceful nap in the seat or carrycot. Claire loved the large shopping basket that is accessible from the seat or carrycot at any angle. It can hold a full pack of nappies as well as a change bag.

Thule is a brand that's famous for its unique and practical products and the Shine stroller is no different. It's among the lightest prams on the market and feels sturdy and sturdy in your hands despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile, and can be used from birth thanks to the accessories included that convert it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest and a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).
In contrast to other lightweight strollers that are lighter, the Shine doesn't let you down in terms of cargo storage, either. Its 22-pound capacity lets you to take everything you require for a day of travel without feeling as if you need to leave everything behind.
It's also simple to put together with the back wheels securing to the main frame right out of the box. If you choose to purchase the bassinet that comes with it, it clicks on with ease too and even comes with carry handles similar to those of a Moses basket. The pram can be folded down to a compact, small size, which means it fits in even the smallest cars.
Thule's canopy air purifier is an impressive feature. It comes with an air filter that gets rid of dust, bacteria, viruses, pollen and other nasty things. The company claims it can remove 150 litres of air per minute and connects to an app that shows the quality of your air in your area.
The only issue is the price. While it's cheaper than other 2-in-1 prams complete set still costs more than PS1,000. It's more difficult to accept when there are less expensive alternatives, like the Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.
The durability of Thule's strollers is legendary and I've seen them tested at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. They drop prams from heights and then crash them down slopes, and then ride them across bumpy trails in the snow to test their quality and endurance. They look amazing!
