The Cybex Gazelle is an extremely adaptable stroller. It adapts to the needs of your family. It offers over 20 different combinations that allow you to use it from birth in single and twin modes. The car seat adaptors are integrated into the frame which means you don't have to buy a separate baby seat. This makes it easy to transform it from a mono stroller into a twin stroller.

The stroller itself comes in four gorgeous fabrics that match the sloping curves of the frame and the taupe-tinted aluminum chassis.

The sleek design makes it easier to push across uneven surfaces. The seat that faces the rear, reversible footrest and streamlined profile allow you to easily reach the door of a shop.
The Maclaren's fast and simple folding is a fantastic feature. It is a little slower than the average however, it only requires one hand to open and close. It's also a tiny pram when closed which makes it easy to squeeze into tight spaces.
This model is not recommended for infants. However, it is suitable for children aged 3 months and older. 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 option for older children and babies because they'll be content to sleep on the seat, whether at home or on the road.

It comes with a carrycot that's approved for sleep at night and can easily be converted to a double pushchair when the time is appropriate.

Claire found the pram to be comfortable to use on different terrains and in tight spaces such as narrow aisles in shops. The swivel wheels helped her steer the pram with precision. Moreover, its compact fold size makes it easy to keep it at home. The large air-filled tyres provide an enjoyable ride and are able of handling off-road surfaces too.

Another excellent feature is the reversible seating unit, which allows you to alter the direction that your child's face is.

4. Thule Shine
Thule is a name known for its cool and practical products, and the Shine stroller is no exception. It's one of the lightest strollers on the market and feels solid and sturdy to hold, despite its sleek design. It's also extremely versatile and can be used from birth thanks to the accessories that come with it that convert it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest and a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).
The Shine isn't like other prams that are lightweight when it comes to cargo storage. Its 22-pound capacity allows you to carry everything you need for a day out without having to leave anything behind.
It's also easy to put together with the back wheels securing to the main frame right out of the box. If you opt for the bassinet that comes with it, it clicks on with ease too and even has carry handles like those of a Moses basket. And when you're done, the pram folds down to an elegant and compact size, allowing you to fit it into the smallest of cars.
Thule's canopy air purifier is an impressive feature. It has a built-in air filter that removes bacteria, viruses, dust pollen, and other harmful things. The company claims it can remove 150l per minute of air and is able to be connected to an app which shows the air quality in the area.
The only issue is the price. While it's less expensive than other 2-in-1 prams entire kit costs more than PS1,000. That's especially hard to swallow when there are other options like Thule Spring. Thule Spring which is smaller and lighter and costs less than half as much.
2 in 1 stroller are known for their strength and durability. I've seen them through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from heights and then crash them down slopes, and then run them over a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their performance and strength. They look amazing!
