Thule is a name famous for its unique and practical products, and the Shine stroller is no exception. It's one of the lightest prams on the market, and feels solid and sturdy in your hands despite its simple design. It's also extremely versatile with the ability to be used from birth due 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 sold separately).

It's also simple to put together with the back wheels securing to the main frame right out of the box. If you buy the bassinet option that is attached, it can be plugged in with ease too and even has carry handles like those of a Moses basket. The pram can be folded down into a compact and small size, which means it fits in even the tiniest of cars.
Thule's air purifier canopy is a highlight too, with an integrated fan that filters the air you breathe to remove pollen, bacteria, viruses and other harmful nasties. The company claims it can remove 150 litres per minute of air and is compatible with an app which shows the air quality in the area.
The only drawback is the price - although it's cheaper than other
2 in 1 pram s it still costs more than PS1,000 for the entire kit. That's especially hard to swallow when there are other options like Thule Spring. Thule Spring, which is smaller and lighter and costs half the price.
Thule's strollers are renowned for their durability and I've seen them go through the test of the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from high places and then slam them down slopes and take them on a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their performance and strength. They certainly look nice!
