1. Cybex Gazelle
The Cybex Gazelle is a highly adjustable stroller that is able to be adjusted to your family. It has over 20 combinations that let you use it in single or twin mode from the moment of birth. The car seat adaptors have been integrated into the frame, which means you don't have to purchase a separate infant seat. This makes it simple to change it from a mono stroller into a twin one. It also comes with a large shopping basket that allows you to easily carry everything you need for both children.
The seats are very comfortable and both reclining to almost flat, meaning that your toddler can nap comfortably. The canopy has two height settings and plenty of space for your child's hood. It's also compact and lightweight making it easy to maneuver in tight spaces like hallways. The wheels are tough and puncture-proof, while the handlebars are adjustable for different heights to allow you to drive comfortably no matter your height.
There's a broad selection of accessories available for the Gazelle which includes rain covers and cup holders, a footmuff and snack tray. The stroller itself is available in 4 beautiful fabrics that complement the sloping curves of the frame and the taupe-tinted aluminum chassis. The elegant design features a sleek, elegant look that's ideal for any parent.
One of the great things about the Gazelle is its user-friendliness. The instructions are clearly displayed in a leaflet that is located at the bottom of the basket. Car seat adaptors are colour-coded to make it easier to understand. It's also got a huge range of seating options, making it suitable for families from the age of birth to preschool. It can also be used as a twin stroller when combined with an additional unit that is purchased separately and is compatible with a wide range of Cybex infant car seats.

2. Maclaren Techno
The Maclaren Techno is a compact and comfortable pram for parents. It has a fully-reclining seating and a leg rest that extends and a head rest to ensure that babies are comfortable on long trips. A fully-coverage sun visor and full-coverage hood will shield your child from the elements. The tray for parents, with its cup holders and storage compartments, is a great place to store essentials. Safety features include the connected foot-operated breaks as well as the locking swivel wheels.
The Techno's handlebars can be adjusted to fit parents who are taller. They also feature a satin-like finish that is comfortable against the skin. The chassis is lightweight and compact to make it easy to move and store, especially when you're using public transport or popping it into the boot of your car. The sleek design makes it easier to push through uneven surfaces. The seat that faces the rear with a reversible footrest, as well as the streamlined profile make it easy to reach the doors of shops.
The Maclaren's fast and simple folding is a great feature. It's slower than the norm of this class but it requires only one hand to open and close. It's also a tiny pram when closed, making it easy to squeeze into tight spaces.
This model is not suitable for babies. However it is suitable for children aged 3 months and over. You can purchase one of Maclaren’s lighter umbrella strollers if you require an infant stroller at this point. It's an excellent choice for older babies and children because they'll be content to lay down on the seat, whether at home or when traveling.
If you're looking for a perfect blend of style and practicality, this 2-in-1 pram is the ideal. Its sleek design is stylish and the high-quality materials will stand up to everyday use and abuse. It's also adaptable, meaning you can include an infant car seat or carrycot to it when your baby is old enough. Parenthood isn't always predictable and a two-in-one pram like this one will allow you to adapt to the changing needs of your family.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette makes a great pram/pushchair combo for families with two kids or for parents who are new to the world of parenting. It includes a carrycot that's suitable for sleeping at night and also easily converts to a double pushchair when the timing is appropriate. It's not the cheapest option but its gorgeous design and features make it well worth the investment.
Claire found the pram easy to maneuver on various terrains and in tight spaces like narrow shop aisles. The swivel wheel helped her guide the pram with precision. Its compact size makes it easy to store it at home. The large air-filled tires offer a smooth ride, and can also be used on off-road surfaces. The hood can be pulled down right to the baby's feet to provide sun protection or a comfortable snooze and is very easy to use.
The reversible unit is another excellent feature that allows you to switch the direction that the child faces. The reclining seat offers head and back support and allows your child to relax in their carrycot or seat. Claire also liked the spacious shopping basket which is accessible with the carrycot or seat unit in all positions and can accommodate a large amount of nappies and a change bag!
The Xplory X premium pram is available from Stokke. It is suitable for babies up to birth. It comes with a chassis, a pushchair and the carrycot which can be set flat. Other accessories, like the rain cover need to be purchased separately.

4. Thule Shine
Thule is a brand known for its cool and practical products, and the Shine stroller is no different. It's among the lightest strollers on market and feels solid and sturdy to hold, despite its sleek design. It's also extremely versatile with the capability to be used right from birth thanks to the accessories included that transform it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest, as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).
In contrast to other lightweight strollers like the Shine doesn't let you down when it comes to cargo storage either. Its 22-pound capacity lets you to take everything you require for a trip without feeling like you have to leave anything behind.
It's also simple to put together and the back wheels securing to the main frame right out of the box. The bassinet is easy to attach and comes with handles similar to those found on a Moses basket. And when you're done, the pram folds down to the perfect size so you can fit it into the smallest car.
Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher too, with an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe, removing bacteria, viruses, pollen, and other nasty contaminants. Thule claims that it can filter 150l of air every minute, and it can be connected to an app that will show the air quality in your area.
The only drawback is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 prams it still costs more than PS1,000 for the entire kit. That's especially hard to swallow when you have alternatives such as the Thule Spring which is smaller and lighter and costs half the price.
Thule's strollers are famous for their durability, and I've seen them through the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. They drop prams from high places and then crash them down slopes, and then run them over bumpy trails in the snow to test their performance and durability. They look fantastic!
