4. Thule Shine

Thule is a brand known for its cool and practical products and the Shine stroller is no different. It's among the lightest strollers on the market, and feels solid and solid in your hands despite its minimal design. It's also incredibly versatile and can be used from birth due to the included accessories which transform it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest, as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).

Contrary 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 carry everything you require for a trip without having to leave everything behind.

It's also simple to put together and the back wheels clipping on to the main frame straight out of the box. If you buy the bassinet option, it clicks on with ease too and even has carry handles like those of the Moses basket. And when you're done, the pram folds down to a neat and compact size so you can put it in the smallest of cars.

Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout too, with an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe to remove pollen, bacteria, viruses, and other nasty nuisances. The company claims it can remove 150 litres of air per minute and can connect to an app that displays your local air quality.

The only drawback is the cost. Although it's cheaper than some other 2 in 1 stroller and car seat-in-1 prams, a complete kit still costs more than PS1,000. That's especially hard to swallow when you have alternatives such as the Thule Spring which is lighter and smaller and costs half as much.

Thule's strollers are known for their durability and I've seen them through the test of the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the quality and strength of their prams they drop them from high places, crash down slopes and run on a bumpy path in the snow. They certainly come out looking good!
