Best 2 in 1 Prams
This sophisticated pram is easy to maneuver due to its luxurious fabrics, spacious basket and puncture-proof tires. It can be used from birth, because of the lie-flat carrycot. It is also compatible with a car safety seat.
Once you've learned to fold with one hand, it's easy to use. It's easy to hoick onto and off buses and trains.
1. Cybex Gazelle
The Cybex Gazelle is a highly customizable stroller that can be adapted to your family. It comes with more than 20 options that allow you to use it in twin or single mode right from birth. The car seat adaptors have been integrated into the frame, so you don't need to purchase a separate infant seat. This makes it simple to transform it from a mono stroller into a twin one. It is also equipped with a large shopping basket that allows you to easily carry everything you need for both kids.
The seats are very comfortable and both can recline almost flat, meaning your toddler will be able to nap comfortably. The hood of the seat has plenty of space for your child's head, and there are 2 height settings for the canopy, giving you control over how much sunlight they are exposed to. It is also lightweight and compact which makes it easy to maneuver through tight spaces such as hallways. The wheels are durable and puncture-proof, while the handlebars can be adjusted for different heights, allowing you to drive comfortably despite your height.
The Gazelle comes with a variety of accessories, including a footmuff, cup holders, snack tray and a rain cover. The stroller comes with four gorgeous fabrics that complement the sloping contours of the frame, and the taupe-tinted aluminium chassis. The sleek elegant design is perfect for any parent.
The ease of using the Gazelle is among its most appealing features. The directions are clearly laid out on a handy booklet at the base of the shopping basket and the car seat adaptors have been colour coded for clarity. It also comes with a wide variety of seating configurations that makes it ideal for families from the age of birth to preschool. It can be used as a twin stroller by purchasing a second unit separately. It is compatible with many Cybex infant car seats. The only downside to this stroller is its price. However, you are paying for quality and versatility.
2. Maclaren Techno
With the Maclaren Techno, parents can take advantage of a stroller with maximum comfort and compact design. It has a fully-reclining seating and a leg rest that extends and a head hugger to ensure that babies are comfortable during long journeys. A fully-coverage hood that can be extended and a sun visor will protect infants from the elements, and a convenient tray for parents with cup holders and storage pockets offers ample space for all the essentials. Safety features include the linked foot-operated breaks and locking swivel wheels.
The Techno's handlebars can be adjusted in height for taller parents and have an elegant, satin-like finish that feels great against the skin. The chassis is light and compact to make it easy to move and store, particularly when you're using public transport or popping it into the trunk of your car. Its streamlined profile also makes it easier to push across uneven surfaces. The rear-facing seat and the reversible footrest make it easier to access the front door of the shops quickly.
The Maclaren's quick and easy folding is another great feature. It's a little slower than the average in this category but it requires only one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a small pram that fits into tight spaces.
This model is not suitable for infants. However it is suitable for children aged 3 months and over. You can buy one of Maclaren's lighter umbrella strollers if you need a pram for your child at this stage. It's a great choice for older babies and children, as they will be content to sleep on the seat, either at home or on the road.
This two-in-one stroller offers the best combination of style and function. Its sleek design is chic, and the high-quality materials will withstand everyday use. Plus, it's adaptable so you can add a car seat to create an ideal travel system when your baby is ready. A stroller with two wheels like this one will allow you to adapt to your changing needs.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette is a fantastic pram/pushchair combo for new parents and families with two kids. It comes with a carrycot approved for sleep at night and also easily converts to a double pushchair when the timing is appropriate. It's not a budget option but its plush design and features make it worth the cost.
Claire found the pram comfortable to use on different terrain and in confined spaces like narrow shop aisles. The swivel wheel helped her navigate the pram with a precise. Its compact size makes it easy to store at home. The large air-filled tyres ensure a smooth ride and are capable of handling off-road surfaces, too. The hood can easily be adjusted to the baby's foot to shield the sun, or to enjoy the comfort of a cosy snooze.
Another excellent feature is the reversible seat that lets you change the direction your child is facing. The reclining seat also offers great back and head support so your little one can enjoy a comfortable and peaceful nap in the seat or carrycot. Claire loved the large shopping basket that is accessible from the seat or carrycot in any position. It can hold the entire nappies pack and a change bag.
The Xplory X is a premium pram from Stokke and is suitable for babies from birth. It comes with an infant pushchair, a chassis and the carrycot which can be positioned on a flat surface. However, other accessories such as the rain cover need to be purchased separately. It's an excellent choice for those who love the look of a modern Scandinavian-designed pram with a unique and functional frame that lets you interact closely with your baby.
This adorable doll pram from Mamas & Papas is perfect for helping develop role-playing fun and nurture imagination. Its realistic features include a rain hood with a removable design as well as a handy under-seat shopping basket, and a co-ordinated changing bag. It's ideal for whizzing around the house or even taking a stroll in the park! This is a great addition to any toy collection, and could also be an excellent birthday or Christmas gift.
4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller comes from a company known for its cool, practical products. It's one of the lightest prams on the market, and feels solid and robust in your hands despite its simple design. It's also extremely versatile with the capability to be used from birth due to the accessories that come with it that 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, the Shine will not let you down in terms of storage for cargo either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to take everything you need for a day trip without worrying about putting anything in the wrong place.
It's also easy to assemble, with the back wheels being attached to the main frame straight out of the box. The bassinet is also easy to attach and has handles similar to those on a Moses basket. When you're done with it the pram folds down to an elegant and compact size, allowing you to put it in the smallest car.
Thule's canopy air purifier is also a highlight. It comes with an air filter that removes dust, bacteria, viruses pollen, and other unpleasant things. Thule claims it can remove 150 litres per minute of air and can be connected to an app that shows the local air quality.
The only issue is the price - although it's less expensive than other 2 in 1 pram s it still costs over PS1,000 for the complete kit. It's more difficult to swallow when there are cheaper alternatives, like the Thule spring, which is more compact and lighter.
Thule's strollers are known for their durability and I've seen them put through the test of the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from high places and then crash them down slopes, and then run them over a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their performance and durability. They certainly look good!
