Best 2 in 1 Prams
With its luxurious fabrics, large shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres, this sophisticated pram is an absolute pleasure to manoeuvre. It can be used right from birth, due to the carrycot that is flat and lie-flat. It also works with a car safety seat.
Once you've mastered the one-hand folding it's a breeze to use. It's also easy to hoick on and off buses and trains.
1. Cybex Gazelle
The Cybex Gazelle is an extremely customizable stroller that is extremely customizable. It can be adapted to the needs of your family. It offers over 20 different combinations which allows you to use it right from birth in single and twin modes. The car seat adaptors have been built 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 to a twin one. It also comes with a large shopping basket, so you can easily carry everything you need for both children.
The seats are comfortable and can be reclined almost flat. This allows your toddler to nap comfortably. The canopy comes with two height settings and plenty of room for your child's hood. It's also compact and lightweight which makes it easy to maneuver in narrow spaces such as 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.
The Gazelle comes with a range of accessories, including a footmuff, cup holders, snack tray and a rain cover. The stroller itself is available in four stunning fabrics that compliment the sloping curves of the frame and the taupe-tinted aluminum chassis. The elegant design features an elegant, sleek look that's ideal for any parent.
The ease of use of 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 color coded to make it easier to understand. It also offers a wide range of seating configurations which makes it ideal for families with children from birth up to the age of preschool. It can be used as a twin stroller by buying an additional unit. It's compatible with many Cybex infant car seat models. The only downside to this stroller is its price. However, you're 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 keep newborns at ease on long journeys. A fully-coverage, extendable sun visor with a full-coverage hood will shield your child from the elements. The tray for parents with cup holders and storage compartments is a convenient 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 taller parents. They also have a satin finish that feels great against the skin. The chassis is lightweight, compact and easy to transport and store. This is particularly useful when you travel by public transportation or in your car's boot. Its streamlined design makes it easier to push through uneven surfaces. The seat that faces the rear and footrest that can be reversible as well as the slim profile allow you to easily reach the door of a shop.
Another great characteristic of the Maclaren is its speedy and easy fold. It's a bit slower than average, but only requires one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a tiny pram that fits into tight spaces.
This model is not suitable for babies. However it is suitable for children 3 months and older. 2 in 1 pushchairs can purchase one of Maclaren's lighter umbrella strollers if your child requires a pram at that stage. It's an excellent option for older babies and toddlers because it's so comfy that they'll love to sleep in the chair at home or out and about!
For a great combination of practicality and style, this two-in-one stroller is the best. Its sleek design is a great look and its top-quality materials ensure it can endure daily use as well. Plus, it's adaptable so you can add a carrycot or car seat to create an ideal travel system when your baby is ready. Parenthood is unpredictable, but a 2-in-1 pram like this will allow you to adapt to the demands of your daily life.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette is a great pram/pushchair combination for first-time parents and families with two children. It comes with a carrycot that's approved for overnight sleeping and also easily converts to a double pushchair when the timing is appropriate. It's not the cheapest option, but its stylish design and features are worth the investment.
Claire found it easy to maneuver this pram over various terrains, and in narrow areas such as narrow aisles in store. The swivel wheels let her steer it with precision. Its compact size makes it easy to store at home. The large air-filled tires offer an easy ride, and are also able to handle off-road surfaces. The hood can be lowered to the baby's feet to provide sun protection or a comfortable snooze and is very easy to use.
The reversible option is another great feature, as it lets you change the direction in which your child faces. The reclining seat offers head and back support which means your child can rest comfortably in their 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 as well as a change bag.
The Xplory X is a top-quality pram from Stokke and is suitable for babies from birth. It comes with a chassis, a pushchair and the carrycot which can be placed flat. Other accessories such as the rain cover must 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 that can be removed as well as a handy under-seat shopping basket and co-ordinating changing bag. It's perfect for cruising around the house or heading out on a stroll in the park! This is a wonderful addition to any toy collection, and could also be a thoughtful birthday or Christmas gift.
4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller is a brand that is known for its cool, practical products. It's among the lightest strollers on the market, and it feels sturdy and solid to hold despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile with the ability to be used right from birth thanks to the included accessories which 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 like the Shine does not disappoint in terms of cargo storage either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine allows you to carry everything you need on day trips without worrying about leaving anything behind.
It's also simple to put together and the back wheels securing to the main frame right out of the box. If you choose to purchase the bassinet that comes with it the frame snaps on with ease too and even comes with carry handles similar to those of a Moses basket. And when you're done, the pram folds down to the perfect size, allowing you to fit it into the smallest of vehicles.
Thule's canopy air purifier is a highlight. It has a built-in air filter that eliminates dust, bacteria, viruses pollen, and other unpleasant things. Thule claims it can remove 150l per minute of air and is able to be connected to an app that displays the quality of the air in your area.
The only issue is the price - although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 pram s, it still costs more than PS1,000 for the full kit. It's even more difficult to take in when there are cheaper alternatives, like the Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.
Thule's strollers are famous for their strength and durability. I've seen them go through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the quality and strength of their prams, they drop them from heights, crash down slopes and run over a bumpy track in the snow. They certainly come out looking nice!
