The Cybex Gazelle is an extremely configurable stroller that can be incredibly flexible. It adapts to the requirements 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 built into the frame so there is no requirement to purchase a separate baby car seat, making it simple to change it from a single pushchair into a twin stroller. It comes with a large basket that can hold all the essentials for both children.

Additionally, there are two height settings for the canopy, giving you the ability to control how much sunlight exposure they get. It is also light and compact which makes it easy for you to maneuver around narrow spaces such as hallways.

The stroller itself comes in four gorgeous fabrics that match the sloping curves that define the frame and taupe-tinted aluminum chassis. The sleek elegant design is perfect for any parent.
One of the best things about the Gazelle is its simplicity of use. The instructions are clearly displayed in a handy leaflet at the base of the basket and the car seat adaptors have been colored to ensure clarity. It's also got a huge 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 buying an additional unit. It's compatible with a variety of Cybex infant car seat models. The only downside to this stroller is the price. However, you are paying for quality and versatility.

Its sleek design makes it easier to push over uneven surfaces. The seat that faces the rear, reversible footrest and streamlined profile make it easy to reach the doors of shops.
Another excellent aspect of the Maclaren is its quick and easy fold. It's a bit slower than other models of this class but it requires only one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a compact pram that easily fits into tight spaces.
This model is not recommended for babies. However, it is suitable for children aged 3 months or older. You can purchase one of Maclaren’s lighter umbrella strollers if you require 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 be happy to sleep in their seat at home or while on the move!
For a great combination of style and practicality this two-in-one stroller is the ideal. Its sleek design is chic, and the high-quality materials are built to withstand the rigors of daily use. It's also adaptable, meaning you can add an infant car seat or carrycot once your baby is old enough. Parenthood isn't always predictable however a 2-in-1 stroller like this will allow you to adapt to the changing needs of your family.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette is a perfect pram/pushchair combination for families with two children or for parents who are new to the world of parenting. It is equipped with a carrycot that is approved to sleep for the night and easily converts into a double pushchair at the appropriate time. It's not a budget option but its luxurious design and features are worth the cost.
Claire found this pram very comfortable to use on different terrain and in confined spaces like narrow shop aisles. The swivel wheels helped her navigate it with precision. Moreover, its compact fold size makes it easy to store at home. The large air-filled tyres provide an easy ride and are able to handle off-road surfaces too. The hood can easily be lowered to the baby's foot to protect against sun rays or for the comfort of a cosy snooze.
Another great feature is the reversible seat unit, which allows you to alter the direction that your child is facing. The reclining seat offers support for the back and head and allows your child to rest comfortably in their seat or carrycot. Claire liked the large shopping basket that is easily accessible from the seat or carrycot in any position. It can accommodate an entire pack of nappies and a change bag.

4. Thule Shine
Thule is a brand that's famous for its unique and practical products, and the Shine stroller is no different. It's one of the lightest prams on the market and feels sturdy and solid in your hands despite its minimal 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.
Unlike some other lightweight prams like the Shine will not let you down in terms of cargo storage, either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine allows you to bring everything you need on an excursion without having to worry about putting anything in the wrong place.
The wheels are also easy to attach to the frame. They clip on straight from the box. The bassinet is easy to attach and has handles that are similar to those of a Moses basket. And when you're done the pram folds down to a neat and compact size that you can fit it into the smallest of vehicles.
Thule's canopy air purifier is an impressive feature. It is a built-in air filter that removes bacteria, viruses, dust pollen, and other harmful things. Thule claims that it can filter 150 litres per minute of air and is compatible with an app that displays the quality of the air in your area.
The only drawback is the cost. While it's cheaper than some other 2-in-1 prams, the complete set still costs more than PS1,000. That's especially hard to swallow when you have alternatives such as the Thule Spring that is lighter and more compact 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, crash them down slopes and take them on bumpy trails in the snow to test their performance and durability. They certainly look great!
