1. Cybex Gazelle
The Cybex Gazelle is a highly adjustable stroller that is able to be adjusted to your family. It offers over 20 different combinations that allow you to use it right from birth in single and twin modes. The car seat adaptors have been built into the frame, meaning you don’t need to buy a separate baby seat. This makes it easy to transform it from a mono stroller into a twin one. It comes with a huge basket to carry all the essentials for both children.
The seats are comfortable and can be reclined almost flat. This lets your child nap comfortably. The canopy has two height settings, and plenty of space for your child’s hood. It is also lightweight and compact, making it easy for you to maneuver through tight spaces such as hallways. The wheels are durable and puncture proof, and the handlebar can be adjusted to different sizes so that you can drive comfortably regardless of whether you’re short or tall.
There’s a wide selection of accessories available for the Gazelle which includes a rain cover and cup holders, a snack tray, and footmuff. The stroller rocker 2 in 1 comes in four stunning fabrics that match the sloping contours of the frame, and the taupe-tinted aluminium chassis. The sleek elegant design is perfect for any parent.
One of the most appealing aspects about the Gazelle is its ease of use. The directions are clearly laid out in a leaflet that is located at the bottom of the basket. Car seat adaptors are color-coded to make it easier for you to understand. It also has a vast range of seating options, making it suitable for families with children from the age of birth to preschool. It can be used as twin stroller by purchasing an additional unit. It’s compatible with many Cybex infant car seat models. The only issue is the cost but you’re paying for quality and versatility.
2 in 1 pram and pushchair. Maclaren Techno
With the Maclaren Techno, parents can take advantage of a stroller with maximum comfort and a compact design. It has a fully reclined seat, an extended leg rest and a head hugger for infants to keep them comfy when they travel for longer periods of time. 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 great place to store your essentials. Safety features include the linked foot-operated breaks and lockable swivel wheel.
The Techno’s handlebars are height-adjustable for parents who are taller and have a an elegant, satin-like finish to feel good against your skin. The chassis is lightweight and compact to make it easy to manoeuvre and store, especially if you’re travelling by public transport or popping it into the boot of the car. Its streamlined design makes it easier to push across uneven surfaces. The rear-facing seat, reversible footrest and streamlined profile make it easy to reach the doors of shops.
The Maclaren’s quick and easy folding is another great feature. It’s a little slower than the norm in this category but it requires only one hand to open and close. When closed, it’s a small pram that easily fits into tight spaces.
This model is not suitable for newborns. However it is suitable for children aged 3 months and over. You can purchase one of Maclaren’s lightweight umbrella strollers if you need a pram for your child at this stage. It’s an excellent option for older toddlers and babies because it’s so comfortable that they’ll want to sleep in their seat at home or out and about!
This 2 in 1 travel system with car seat-in-1 stroller is the best combination of design and function. Its sleek design is an attractive design and its top-quality materials mean it’ll stand up to everyday use, too. Plus, it’s adaptable so you can add a carrycot or car seat to make it a travel system when your baby is ready. A stroller with two wheels like this one allows you to adjust to your changing needs.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette is an excellent pram/pushchair combination for first-time parents or families with two children. It comes with a carrycot approved for sleep at night and can easily be converted into a double pushchair at the appropriate moment. It’s not a budget option but its stylish design and features are worth the investment.
Claire found it easy to maneuver the pram on different terrains and in tight areas like narrow store aisles. The swivel wheels helped her steer it with precision. Its compact folding size makes it easy for you to keep at home. The large air-filled tyres provide an easy ride and are capable of handling off-road surfaces, too. The hood can be pulled down right to the baby’s feet to provide sun protection or for a cozy sleep and is very simple to use.
The reversible unit is another excellent feature that lets you change the direction in which your child is facing. The reclining seat offers great back and head support, so your child can have a comfy and peaceful nap in the seat or carrycot. Claire liked the large shopping basket that is easily accessible from the seat or carrycot in any position. It can hold an entire pack of nappies as well as a changing bag.
Lastly, the Xplory X is a top pram from Stokke and is suitable from birth. It comes with an infant pushchair, a chassis and a carrycot that can be positioned in a flat position. Other accessories like 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 made by Mamas & Papas will help to encourage role-playing and imagination. Its realistic features include a removable rain hood and a handy under-seat shopping basket and a matching changing bag. It’s perfect for cruising around the house or even heading out on a stroll to the park! This is a fantastic addition to any child’s collection of toys and is also a thoughtful present for birthdays or Christmas.
4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller is from a brand known for its innovative, stylish products. It’s among the lightest strollers on market, and feels solid and solid in your hands despite its minimal design. It’s also extremely versatile, with the capability to be used from birth due to the accessories that come with it which transform it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest and a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).
The Shine isn’t like other lightweight prams in terms of cargo storage. Its 22-pound capacity allows you to take everything you need for a day out without feeling as if you need to leave everything behind.
It’s also simple to put together with the back wheels clipping on to the main frame straight out of the box. The bassinet is also simple to attach and comes with handles similar to those on a Moses basket. The pram can be folded down to a compact and small size, which means it can be tucked away in the smallest cars.
Thule’s canopy air purifier is also an impressive feature. It comes with an air filter that gets rid of bacteria, viruses, dust, pollen and other nasty things. Thule claims that it will clean up 150 liters of air every minute and can connect to an app that shows 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, a complete set still costs more than PS1,000. This is especially difficult to accept when there are other options like Thule Spring. Thule Spring which is lighter and more compact and costs half the price.
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, then ride them across a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their performance and endurance. They certainly look good!
