The Cybex Gazelle is a highly customizable stroller that can be adapted to the needs of your family. It has more than 20 combinations that allow you to use it from birth in both single and twin modes.

It also has a vast variety of seating configurations that makes it suitable for families from the age of birth to preschool. It can be used as a twin stroller by buying a second unit separately.

It features a fully-reclining seat and a leg rest that extends and a head hugger to ensure babies are at ease on long journeys.

The Maclaren's simple and quick folding is another great feature. It's a little slower than other models in this group but it requires only one hand to open and close. It's also a tiny pram when closed, making it a breeze to fit into tight spaces.

3. M&P Pramette

The M&P Pramette is a great pram/pushchair combo for new parents as well as families with two babies. It is equipped with a carrycot that is approved for sleep at night and easily converts into a double pushchair at any moment. It's not a budget option but its stylish design and features make it well worth the investment.

Claire found this pram and pushchair 2 in 1 very easy to handle on different terrain and in confined areas like narrow aisles in stores. The swivel wheel helped her steer the pram with precision. Furthermore, its compact folding size makes it easy to store it at home. The huge air-filled tyres guarantee a smooth ride and are able to handle off-road surfaces as well. The hood can easily be lowered to the baby pram 2 in 1's foot to shield the sun, or to enjoy an engrossing nap.

The reversible option is another great feature, as it lets you change the direction that the child faces. The reclining seat provides both back and head support which means your child can take a peaceful nap in their seat or carrycot. Claire liked the large shopping basket that can be accessed from the seat or carrycot in any position. It can hold an entire pack of nappies as well as a changing bag.

The Xplory X premium stroller is available from Stokke. It is suitable for babies up to birth. It comes with an infant pushchair, a chassis and the carrycot which can be positioned in a flat position. But, other accessories such as the rain cover must be purchased separately.

4. Thule Shine

Thule is a name known for its cool and practical products and the Shine stroller is no different. It's one of the lightest strollers on the market, and it feels sturdy and solid to hold despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile, and can be used from birth due to the accessories included that convert it into a bassinet Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest and a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).

The Shine is not like other prams that are lightweight in terms of cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to bring everything you need on a day trip without having to worry about putting everything in the back.

The wheels are also very easy to attach to the frame. They snap on straight from the box. The bassinet is also easy to put together and has handles similar to those found on the Moses basket. The pram and pushchair 2 in 1 can be folded down to a compact and tidy size, meaning it fits in even the tiniest of cars.

Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout too, with an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe to remove bacteria, viruses, pollen and other harmful nuisances. Thule claims it can remove 150 litres per minute of air and can be connected to an app which shows the air quality in the area.

The only drawback is the cost. While it's cheaper than some other 2 in 1 stroller-in-1 prams, a complete kit still costs more than PS1,000. It's more difficult to swallow when there are cheaper alternatives, such as the Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.

The durability of Thule's strollers is legendary, and I have seen them put to the test at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. To test the durability and quality of their prams, they drop them from heights and then crash them down slopes. They also traverse a bumpy track in the snow. They certainly look nice!
