4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller comes from a brand that is known for its stylish, practical products. It is one of the lightest strollers available on the market, and it feels sturdy and robust to hold, despite its sleek design. It's also extremely versatile with the capability to be used from birth thanks to the included accessories that convert it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).
The Shine is not like other prams that are lightweight when it comes to cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine allows you to carry everything you need for an excursion without worrying about leaving anything behind.
It's also easy to assemble and the back wheels clipping on to the main frame right out of the box. The bassinet is also easy to attach and has handles that are similar to those of a Moses basket. And when you're done the pram folds down to an elegant and compact size, allowing you to fit it in the smallest of cars.
Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout as well, with an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe to eliminate bacteria, viruses, pollen and other nasties. Thule claims that it can filter 150 litres per minute of air and is able to be connected to an app that shows the local air quality.
The only drawback is the cost. While it's less expensive than some other 2-in-1 prams, the entire kit costs more than PS1,000. This is especially difficult to accept when there are alternatives like Thule Spring. Thule Spring which is lighter and smaller and costs half the price.
Thule's strollers are known for their strength and durability. I've seen them put through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from heights, crash them down slopes and ride them across a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their durability and durability. They look great!
