It has more than 20 combinations, allowing you to use it right from birth in single and twin modes.

2. Maclaren Techno
With the Maclaren Techno, parents can enjoy a pram with supreme comfort and compact design. It features a fully reclining seat, a leg rest that extends and head hugger for newborns to ensure they are comfortable on longer trips. A fully-coverage extendable sun visor and hood that covers the entire area will protect your child from the elements. The tray for parents, with its cup holders and storage compartments, is a convenient place to store essentials. The linked foot-operated brakes and lockable swivel wheels make great safety features, too.
The Techno's handlebars are height-adjustable for taller parents and have a soft, satin finish that feels great against the skin. The chassis is lightweight, compact and easy to transport and store. This is especially useful when you travel by public transport or placing it in the trunk of your car. Its slim profile also makes it easier to push on uneven surfaces, and the rear-facing seat and the reversible footrest help you reach the door of shops easily.
Another excellent characteristic of the Maclaren is its speedy and easy fold. It's a bit slower than the average of this class however, it takes only one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a compact pram that easily fits into tight spaces.
This model is not suitable for newborns, but is fine from 3 months and beyond - you can always buy one of Maclaren's umbrella strollers for infants if you need a pram for that stage. It's a great choice for older children and babies as they'll be happy to nap on the seat, either at home or on the road.
If you're looking for a perfect blend of style and practicality this 2-in-1 stroller is the best. Its sleek design is stylish and the premium materials will withstand everyday use. It's also adaptable, so you can include an infant car seat or carrycot once your baby is old enough. A 2-in-1 stroller like this one allows you to adapt to your unpredictable day.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette is a great pushchair/pram combo for families with two kids or first-time parents. It comes with a carrycot approved for overnight sleep and can easily be converted into a double pushchair at the right moment. It's not the cheapest option, but its plush design and features make it worth the cost.
Claire found the pram to be easy to handle on different terrain and in confined areas like narrow aisles in stores. pram 2 in 1 let her navigate it with precision. Furthermore, pushchair 2 in 1 folding size makes it easy to store it at home. The large air-filled tyres provide an enjoyable ride and are able to handle off-road surfaces as well. The hood can be easily lower to the infant's feet for sun protection, or to enjoy a cozy snooze.
Another feature that is great is the reversible seat unit that allows you to change the direction your child is facing. The reclining seat also offers good head and back support so your little one can take a comfortable and relaxing nap in the carrycot or seat. Claire liked the large shopping basket that can be accessed from the seat or carrycot at any angle. It can accommodate the entire nappies pack and a change bag.
The XploryX premium pram is available from Stokke. It is suitable for babies as young as birth. It comes with a chassis, a pushchair and a carrycot that can be positioned flat.

4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller is a company known for its cool, practical products. It's among the lightest strollers available on the market, and it feels sturdy and solid to hold, despite its sleek design. It's also incredibly versatile and can be used from birth due to the accessories that come with it that convert it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).
In contrast to other lightweight strollers 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 bring everything you require on day trips without having to worry about putting everything in the back.
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 can be folded down to a compact and small size, which means it fits in even the tiniest of cars.
Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout too, with an integrated fan that filters the air you breathe to eliminate bacteria, viruses, pollen and other harmful nasties. Thule claims that it will remove 150 litres of air per minute and connects to an app that displays the air quality in your area.
The only downside is the price. Even though it is less than some other 2 in 1 prams it still costs over PS1,000 for the complete kit. This is especially difficult to accept when there are alternatives like Thule Spring. Thule Spring that is lighter and more compact and costs less than 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, crash them down slopes, and then ride them across bumpy trails in the snow to test their durability and strength. They certainly look good!
