Its slim profile also makes it easier to push across uneven surfaces. The rear-facing seat and the reversible footrest help you reach the door of the shops quickly.

The Maclaren's fast and simple folding is another great feature. It's a bit slower than average however, it only requires one hand to open and close. It's also a small pram when closed which makes it easy to fit in tight spaces.

This model isn't suitable for infants however it is suitable from 3 months and up It is possible to purchase one of Maclaren's umbrella strollers for infants should you require an infant stroller for this stage. It's a great choice for older babies and children, as they will be happy to nap on the seat, either at home or while travelling.

3. M&P Pramette

The M&P Pramette is a fantastic pram/pushchair combo for new parents as well as families with two kids. It comes with a carrycot suitable for sleeping at night and can easily be converted to a double pushchair 2 in 1 when the timing is appropriate. It's not the most affordable option but its gorgeous design and features make it well worth the cost.

Claire found it easy to maneuver the pram on different terrains and in confined areas such as narrow aisles in store. The swivel wheels let her steer the pram with precision.

The hood can be lowered to the baby's feet for sun protection or a cosy nap and is easy to use.

Another great feature is the reversible seating unit that allows you to alter the direction that your child faces. The reclining seat also offers excellent back and head support so your little one can enjoy a comfortable and peaceful nap in the carrycot or seat.

4. Thule Shine

Thule is a brand that's known for its cool and practical products and the Shine stroller is no different. It's one of the lightest prams on the market, and feels solid and sturdy in your hands despite its minimal design. It's also extremely versatile, with the ability to be used from birth thanks to the accessories included which transform it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest, as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).

The Shine is not like other lightweight prams when it comes to cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to take everything you require on day trips without worrying about leaving anything behind.

It's also easy to assemble, with the back wheels clipping on to the main frame straight out of the box. The bassinet is also easy to attach and comes with handles that are similar to those of the Moses basket. The pram can be folded down to a compact and tidy size, meaning it fits in even the tiniest cars.

Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher as well, with a built-in fan that filters the air you breathe, removing bacteria, viruses, pollen, and other nasty contaminants. Thule claims that it will clean up 150 liters of air every minute and can connect to an app that shows your local air quality.

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

Thule's strollers are renowned for their durability, and I've seen them put through the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the durability and quality of their prams they drop them from heights and crash down slopes, then run on a bumpy path in the snow. They look fantastic!
