This model is not suitable for infants, but is fine from 3 months and above - you can always buy one of Maclaren's lighter umbrella strollers for infants in case you require a pram for that stage.

4. Thule Shine
The Shine egg stroller 2 in 1 is from a brand that is known for its stylish, practical products. It is one of the lightest strollers on market, and it feels sturdy and robust to hold despite its simple design. It's also extremely versatile that it can be used as a bassinet or Newborn Inlay from birth, as well as a Maxi Cosi car adapter.
The Shine isn't like other lightweight prams when it comes to cargo storage. Its 22-pound capacity lets you to carry everything you need for a day out without feeling like you have to leave anything behind.
The wheels are easy to attach to the frame. They snap on straight from the box. The bassinet is also simple to put together and has handles similar to those on a Moses basket. The pram folds down to a compact, tidy size, meaning it fits in even the tiniest of cars.
Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher too, with an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe to eliminate pollen, bacteria, viruses, and other nasty nuisances. The company claims it can remove 150 liters of air per minute and is able to be connected to an app which shows the air quality in the area.
The only issue is the price. Even though it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 prams it still costs more than PS1,000 for the complete kit. It's even more difficult to swallow when there are cheaper alternatives, like the Thule spring, which is more compact and lighter.
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 heights and then crash them down slopes and run them over bumpy trails in the snow to test their performance and strength. They look amazing!
