The Maclaren's fast and simple folding is a fantastic feature. It's a bit slower than other models 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 fit in tight spaces.

This model is not recommended for babies. However, it is suitable for children aged 3 months or older.

The M&P Pramette is a great pram/pushchair combo for first-time parents and families with two babies. It is equipped with a carrycot that is approved for sleep at night and can easily be converted into a double pushchair at the appropriate time. It's not cheap 2 in 1 prams, but its plush design and features are worth the cost.

Claire found this pram very comfortable to use on different terrain and in confined areas like narrow aisles in stores. The swivel wheel made it easier for her to steer the pram with precision. Moreover, its compact fold size makes it easy to keep it at home. The large air-filled tyres ensure 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 a cosy snooze and is very easy to use.

Another feature that is great is the reversible seat unit that lets you alter the direction that your child faces. The reclining seat offers support for the back and head and allows your child to take a peaceful nap in their seat or carrycot. Claire liked the large shopping basket that is easily accessible from the seat or carrycot at any angle. It can accommodate an entire pack of nappies as well as a change bag.

4. Thule Shine

The Shine stroller comes from a brand known for its innovative, stylish products. It's one of the lightest prams on the market, and feels solid and sturdy in your hands despite its minimalist design. It is also extremely versatile and can be used as a bassinet or Newborn Inlay from birth, as well as a Maxi Cosi car adapter.

The Shine isn't like other lightweight prams in the area of cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to take everything you require on a day trip without having to worry about putting anything in the wrong place.

It's also simple to put together, with the back wheels securing to the main frame right out of the box. If you choose to purchase the bassinet option the frame snaps on with ease and has carry handles like those of the Moses basket. When you're done the pram folds to an elegant and compact size that you can put it in the smallest of cars.

Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher also, as it has an integrated fan that filters the air you breathe to remove pollen, bacteria, viruses and other contaminants. Thule claims that it will remove 150 litres of air per minute, and it can be connected to an app that shows the air quality in your area.

The only downside is the price - although it is less than some other 2 in 1 stroller car seat in 1 prams it still costs more than PS1,000 for the entire kit. That's especially hard to swallow when there are other options like the Thule Spring which is lighter and smaller and costs less than half as much.

Thule's strollers are known for their durability, and I've seen them put through the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the quality and strength of their prams they drop them from high places and crash down slopes, then traverse a bumpy track in the snow. They look fantastic!
