A fully-coverage extendable sun visor and hood that covers the entire area will protect your child from the elements.

The chassis is lightweight compact and easy to transport and store. This is especially useful for those who travel on public transportation or putting it in the boot of your car. Its slim profile also makes it easier to push on uneven surfaces, while the rear-facing footrest and reversible seat help you reach the door of shops quickly.
The Maclaren's simple and quick folding is another great feature. It's a little slower than the norm in this category however, it takes only one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a tiny pram that fits into tight spaces.
This model isn't suitable for infants however, it is suitable for children 3 months and beyond - you can always buy one of Maclaren's lightweight umbrella strollers for newborns should you require a pram for that stage. It's a great option for older babies and children as they'll be content to sleep on the seat, either at home or while travelling.
For a great combination of style and practicality this 2-in-1 pram is the ideal.

Parenthood isn't always predictable, but a 2-in-1 pram such as this will give you the ability to adapt to the changing needs of your family.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette is a great pushchair/pram combo for families with two children or for parents who are new to the world of parenting. It is equipped with a carrycot that is approved to sleep for the night and can easily be converted into a double pushchair at the appropriate moment. It's not the most affordable option but its gorgeous design and features make it worth the investment.
Claire was able to maneuver the pram on various terrains, and in narrow areas like narrow store aisles. The swivel wheels helped her steer it with precision. The compact size of the folding makes it easy to keep at home. The large air-filled tyres provide an enjoyable ride and are able of handling off-road surfaces as well. The hood can be lowered to the baby's feet for sun protection or a comfortable sleep and is very simple to use.
The reversible unit is another excellent feature that allows you to switch the direction in which your child is facing. The reclining seat offers good head and back support so your little one can take a comfortable and peaceful nap in the carrycot or seat. Claire also loved the spacious shopping basket that can be accessed from the seat or carrycot unit in all positions. It can hold a whole packet of nappies and a change bag!

4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller is from a brand that is known for its stylish, practical products. It's among the lightest strollers available on the market, and it feels sturdy and solid to hold despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile with the ability to be used from birth due to the accessories included which transform it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest, as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).
The Shine is not like other prams that are lightweight in terms of cargo storage. 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, with the back wheels being attached to the main frame straight out of the box. 2 in 1 stroller is also simple to attach and comes with handles similar to those on the Moses basket. The pram folds down into a compact and neat size, so it can be tucked away in the tiniest cars.
Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher too, with an integrated fan that filters the air you breathe to eliminate bacteria, viruses, pollen and other nuisances. The company claims it can remove 150 litres of air per minute and connects to an app that will show the quality of your air in your area.
The only issue is the price. While it's less expensive than other 2-in-1 prams complete set still costs more than PS1,000. That's especially hard to swallow when you have alternatives such as the Thule Spring that is lighter and more compact and costs half the price.
Thule's strollers are famous for their durability, and I've seen them go through the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. They drop prams from high places and then slam them down slopes, then ride them across a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their performance and endurance. They look amazing!
