best 2 In 1 Pram 2 in 1 Prams

This stylish pram is easy to maneuver due to its luxurious fabrics, spacious basket and puncture-proof tires. It can be used right from birth because of the carrycot that lies flat. It also works with a car safety seat.

Its unusual format takes some time to become accustomed to, but it's easy once you master the one-hand fold. It's easy to hoick on and off trains and busses.

1. Cybex Gazelle

The Cybex Gazelle is a highly customizable stroller rocker 2 in 1 that can be adapted to the needs of your family. It has more than 20 combinations that allow you to use it right from birth in single or twin modes. The car seat adaptors are integrated into the frame, meaning there is no requirement to purchase a separate car seat for babies, making it simple to change it from a single pushchair into a twin stroller. It also comes with a huge shopping basket that allows you to easily carry everything you need for both kids.

The seats are comfortable and can be reclined to almost flat. This allows your toddler to nap comfortably. The canopy of the seat offers plenty of room for your child's head and there are two height settings for the canopy, which gives you the option of adjusting the amount of sunlight they are exposed to. It is also light and compact making it easy for you to maneuver around tight spaces like hallways. The wheels are durable and puncture-proof, and the handlebars are adjustable for different heights so that you are able to drive comfortably despite your height.

There's a broad selection of accessories available for the Gazelle which includes a rain cover, cup holders, snack tray and footmuff. The stroller itself is made of 4 beautiful fabrics that complement the sloping curves that define the frame and taupe-tinted aluminum chassis. The sleek elegant design is ideal for any parent.

One of the most appealing aspects about the Gazelle is its simplicity of use. The instructions are clearly explained in a leaflet that is located at the bottom of the basket. Car seat adaptors are color-coded to make it easier for you to understand. It also comes with a broad range of seating configurations that make it suitable for families with children from birth up to preschool age. It can even be used as a twin stroller by using a second unit purchased separately and is compatible with a range of Cybex infant car seats. The only drawback to this stroller is the price. However, you are paying for quality and flexibility.

2. Maclaren Techno

The Maclaren Techno is a compact and comfortable pram for parents. It features a fully reclining seat, a leg rest that extends and a head-hugger for newborns to ensure their comfort during longer journeys. A fully-coverage extendable sun visor and full-coverage hood will protect your child from the elements. The tray for parents with cup holders and storage compartments, is a great place to store essentials. The foot-operated brakes that are linked to the lockable swivel wheels are great safety features, too.

The Techno's handlebars are height-adjustable for taller parents and have an elegant, satin-like finish that feels great against the skin. The chassis is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry and store. This is especially useful if you are travelling by public transportation or in the trunk of your car. The sleek design makes it easier to push across uneven surfaces. The rear-facing seat, reversible footrest and streamlined profile allow you to easily reach the door of a shop.

Another wonderful characteristic of the Maclaren is its speedy and easy fold. It is a little slower than average, but only requires one hand to open or close. When closed, it's a compact pram that easily fits into 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 lightweight umbrella strollers for babies should you require a pram for that stage. It's an excellent option for older toddlers and babies because it's so comfy that they'll love to nap in the chair at home or while on the move!

For a fantastic combination of style and practicality this 2 in 1 pram pushchair-in-1 pram is the best. Its sleek design is chic, and the high-quality materials can withstand daily use. Plus, it's adaptable so you can include a carrycot or car seat to create a travel system once your baby pushchair 2 in 1 is ready. Parenthood isn't always predictable, but a 2 in 1 stroller and car seat-in-1 pram like this one will allow you to adapt to the demands of your daily life.

3. M&P Pramette

The M&P Pramette is a great pram/pushchair combo for new parents or families with two kids. It includes a carrycot that's suitable for sleeping at night and also easily converts to a double pushchair when the timing is right. It's not the cheapest choice but its gorgeous design and features make it well worth the money.

Claire found the pram easy to handle on different terrains and in tight spaces such as narrow aisles in shops. The swivel wheels made it easier to steer the pram with precision. Moreover, its compact fold size makes it easy to store at home. The large air-filled tires provide an easy ride, and can also handle off-road surfaces. The hood can be lowered right to the baby's feet for sun protection or for a cozy nap and is easy to use.

The reversible unit is another great feature, as it allows you to change the direction in which the child is facing. The reclining seat also offers good head and back support so your little one can take a comfortable and peaceful nap in the carrycot or seat. Claire loved the large shopping basket that is available when you use the seat or carrycot unit in all positions. It can accommodate a large amount of nappies and a changing bag!

The Xplory X premium stroller is available from Stokke. It is suitable for babies up to birth. It includes 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 sweet doll pram from Mamas & Papas is perfect to help develop role-playing skills and fostering imagination. Its realistic features include a rain hood with a removable design and a handy under-seat shopping basket and co-ordinating changing bag. Perfect for whizzing around the home or taking a stroll in the park it's the perfect toy! This is a lovely addition to any child's toy collection and would also make a thoughtful birthday or Christmas gift.

4. Thule Shine

The Shine stroller comes from a brand known for its stylish, practical products. It's one of the lightest strollers available on the market, and it feels sturdy and solid to hold despite its minimalist design. It is also extremely versatile, allowing it to be used as a bassinet, or Newborn Inlay from birth, as well as an Maxi Cosi car adapter.

The Shine is not like other prams that are lightweight when it comes to cargo storage. Its 22-pound capacity allows you to carry everything you require for a trip without feeling like you have to leave anything behind.

It's also easy to assemble with the back wheels being attached to the main frame right out of the box. If you opt for the optional bassinet the frame snaps on easily and has handles for carrying similar to those of the Moses basket. The pram folds down into a compact and small size, which means it can fit in even the tiniest of cars.

Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout also, as it has a built-in fan that filters the air you breathe to remove pollen, bacteria, viruses, and other nasty contaminants. Thule claims that it will remove 150 litres of air per minute and can connect to an app that displays your local air quality.

The only issue is the price - although it is less than some other 2 in 1 stroller and car seat in 1 prams, it still costs over PS1,000 for the complete kit. This is especially difficult to accept when you have alternatives such as the Thule Spring, which is lighter and smaller and costs less than half as much.

Thule's strollers are renowned for their durability and I've seen them go through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. They drop prams from a height and then slam them down slopes, then take them on bumpy tracks in the snow to test their performance and endurance. They certainly come out looking good!
