The Maclaren Techno is a compact and comfortable stroller for parents. It has a fully reclined seat, a leg rest that extends and a head-hugger for newborns to keep them comfy on longer trips. A hood with full-coverage and an adjustable sun visor protects children from the elements, and a convenient tray for parents with cup holders and storage pockets provides ample space for all the essentials. The foot-operated brakes that are linked to the locking swivel wheels are excellent safety features, too.

The Techno's handlebars have a height adjustment for taller parents and have smooth, satin-like finishes to feel good against your skin. The chassis is lightpproved for overnight sleep and easily converts into a double pushchair at any time. It's not cheap 2 in 1 prams, but its plush design and features make it worth the cost.

4. Thule Shine

Thule is a brand famous for its unique and practical products, and the Shine stroller is no exception. It's among the lightest strollers on market and feels sturdy and solid in your hands despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile, with the capability to be used from birth thanks to the accessories that come with it that transform it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest, as well as a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories are sold separately).

Contrary to other lightweight strollers like the Shine does not disappoint in terms of cargo storage either. Its 22-pound capacity allows you to carry everything you require for a day of travel without having to leave anything behind.

The wheels are also easy to attach to the frame. They snap on straight from the box. The bassinet is also simple to attach and comes with handles similar to those found on the Moses basket. The pram folds down to a compact and tidy size, meaning it can fit in even the smallest cars.

Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout too, with an inbuilt fan that purifies 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 can be connected to an app which shows the local air quality.

The only downside is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 pushchair with car seat-in-1 prams complete kit still costs more than PS1,000. That's especially hard to swallow when there are alternatives like the Thule Spring that is lighter and more compact and costs less than half as much.

Thule's strollers are known for their strength and durability. 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 heights and crash down slopes, then run over a bumpy track in the snow. They look great!
