1. Cybex Gazelle
The Cybex Gazelle is a highly configurable stroller that adapts to your family. It comes with more than 20 options that allow you to use it in single or twin mode right from birth. The car seat adaptors are integrated into the frame which means you don't have to buy a separate baby seat. This makes it simple to transform it from a mono stroller to a twin one. It is also equipped with a large shopping basket so you can easily carry everything you need for both kids.
The seats are comfortable and can be reclined to almost flat. This allows your child to sleep 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 tight spaces like hallways. The wheels are tough and puncture-proof. The handlebars can be adjusted for different heights so that you are able to drive comfortably regardless of your height.
The Gazelle comes with a variety of accessories, including a footmuff, cup holders, snack tray and rain cover. The stroller itself is available in four stunning fabrics that compliment the sloping curves of its frame and taupe-tinted aluminum chassis. The stylish design has an elegant, sleek style that's perfect for any parent.
The ease of use of the Gazelle is among its best features. The directions are clearly written on a handy booklet at the base of the shopping basket and the car seat adaptors are colored to ensure clarity. It also comes with a wide variety of seating configurations which makes it ideal for families from birth to preschool age. It can also be used as a twin stroller by buying a second unit separately. It is compatible with a variety of Cybex infant car seat models. The only downside to this stroller is its cost. But, you're paying for quality and versatility.
2. Maclaren Techno
The Maclaren Techno is a compact and comfortable stroller for parents. It features a fully reclining seat, a leg rest that extends and a head hugger for infants to ensure their comfort on longer trips. A fully-coverage hood that can be extended and a sun visor protects infants from the elements, and a handy parent tray with cup holders and storage pockets gives ample space for all the essentials. Safety features include connected foot-operated breaks as well as the lockable swivel wheel.
The Techno's handlebars have a height adjustment for taller parents and have a soft, satin finish to feel good against your skin. The chassis is lightweight and compact, making it easy to transport and store. This is particularly useful when you travel by public transport or placing it in your car's boot. The sleek design makes it easier to push over uneven surfaces. The seat that faces the rear and footrest that can be reversible as well as the slim profile make it easy to get to the doors of shops.
The Maclaren's simple and quick folding is a great feature. It's slower than the average in this category, but it only takes one hand to open and close. When closed, it's a compact pram that can easily fit into tight spaces.
This model isn't suitable for infants however it is suitable from 3 months and beyond You can always purchase one of Maclaren's lighter umbrella strollers for babies in case you require an infant stroller for this stage. However, it's a fantastic option for older babies and toddlers, as it's so comfortable that they'll want to nap in their seat at home or on the go!
For a fantastic combination of style and practicality this 2-in-1 stroller is the ideal. Its sleek silhouette is stylish and its top-quality materials mean it'll endure daily use and abuse. It's also able to be adapted, so you can include an infant car seat or carrycot once your baby is old enough. A stroller with two wheels like this one will allow you to adjust to your changing needs.
3. M&P Pramette
The M&P Pramette is a great pram/pushchair combo for new parents or families with two babies. It comes with a carrycot that's approved for overnight sleeping and can easily be converted to a double pushchair when the timing is appropriate. It's not a budget option but its stylish design and features make it well worth the investment.
Claire was able to maneuver the pram on different terrains and in tight areas such as narrow aisles in store. The swivel wheels let her steer the pram with precision. Its compact folding size makes it easy for you 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 be lowered to the baby's feet for sun protection or a comfortable sleep and is very simple to use.
Another excellent feature is the reversible seat that lets you change the direction the child faces. The reclining seat offers great back and head support, so your child can take a comfortable and relaxing nap in the carrycot or seat. Claire also loved the spacious shopping basket that can be accessed when you use the seat or carrycot unit in all positions. It can hold a whole packet of nappies and a change bag!
The Xplory X premium pram is available from Stokke. It is suitable for babies as young as birth. It comes with the chassis, a pushchair seat and a lie-flat carrycot but other accessories like the rain cover will have to 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 to help develop role-playing skills and nurture imagination.

It's great for cruising around the house or taking a stroll in the park!

4. Thule Shine
The Shine stroller comes from a brand known for its cool, practical products. It's among the lightest strollers on market, and feels solid and sturdy in your hands despite its simple design. It's also incredibly versatile and can 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).
The Shine is not like other lightweight strollers in the area of cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine allows you to bring everything you need on a day trip without worrying about leaving anything behind.
It's also easy to assemble with the back wheels being attached to the main frame straight out of the box. If you buy the bassinet that comes with it, it clicks on easily and comes with carry handles similar to those of the Moses basket. When you're done with it, the pram folds down to the perfect size that you can put it in the smallest of cars.
Thule's canopy air purifier is also an excellent feature. It has a built-in air filter that gets rid of bacteria, viruses, dust, pollen and other nasty things. The company claims it can remove 150 litres of air per minute and connects to an app that displays your local air quality.
The only downside is the price - although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 pram s, it still costs over PS1,000 for the entire kit. It's more difficult to swallow when there are cheaper alternatives, such as the Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.
Thule's strollers are famous for their durability and I've seen them go through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. To test the quality and strength of their strollers, they drop them from heights and then crash them down slopes. They also run over a bumpy track in the snow. They certainly come out looking good!
