The car seat adaptors are built into the frame, so you don't need to buy a separate baby seat. This makes it simple to convert it from a mono stroller to a twin one.

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 space to accommodate your child's head. Additionally, there are 2 in 1 pram system height settings for the canopy, which gives you the option of adjusting the amount of sunlight they are exposed to.

The ease of using the Gazelle is among its most appealing features. The directions are clearly written in a handy leaflet at the base of the shopping basket, and the car seat adaptors are colour coded for clarity. It also has a vast range of seating options which makes it ideal for families from the age of birth to preschool. It can be used as a twin stroller by purchasing a second unit separately. It's compatible with many Cybex infant car seat pushchair 2 in 1 seats. The only drawback to this stroller is its price. However, you are paying for quality and flexibility.

2. Maclaren Techno

With the Maclaren Techno, parents can enjoy a pram with supreme comfort and compact design. It features a fully reclining seat, extended leg rest and a head-hugger for newborns to ensure they are comfortable on longer trips. A hood with full-coverage and an adjustable sun visor protects little ones from the elements, while a convenient tray for parents with cup holders and storage pockets gives ample space for essentials. The foot-operated brakes that are linked to the locking swivel wheels are excellent security features, too.

The Techno's handlebars are adjusted to accommodate taller parents. They also feature a satin-like finish that feels good against the skin. The chassis is light and compact, making it easy to manoeuvre and store, especially if you're travelling by public transport or putting it into the boot of your car. Its streamlined design makes it easier to push over uneven surfaces. The seat that faces the rear with a reversible footrest, as well as the streamlined profile make it easy to get to the doors of shops.

Another excellent feature of the Maclaren is its quick and easy fold. It's slower than other models in this group however, it takes only one hand to open and close. It's also a compact pram when closed and makes it easy to fit in tight spaces.

This model isn't suitable for babies however, it is suitable for children 3 months and above - you can always buy one of Maclaren's lightweight umbrella strollers for newborns should you require a pram for that stage. It's an excellent choice for older children and babies because they'll be content to sleep on the seat, either at home or on the road.

For a great combination of practicality and style, this 2 in 1 infant car seat and stroller-in-1 stroller is the best. Its sleek silhouette is a great look and its top-quality materials ensure it can endure daily use and abuse. It's also adaptable, meaning you can include an infant car seat or carrycot once your baby is old enough. Parenthood can be unpredictable and a two-in-one pram like this one will give you the ability to adapt to the changing needs of your family.

3. M&P Pramette

The M&P Pramette is a perfect pram/pushchair combination for families with two kids or first-time parents. It comes with 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 option, but its stylish design and features are worth the cost.

Claire found the pram to be easy to maneuver on various terrain and in confined spaces such as narrow aisles in shops. The swivel wheel helped her steer the pram with precision. Moreover, its compact fold size makes it easy to store it at home. The large air-filled tyres provide an easy ride and are able to handle off-road surfaces as well. The hood is easily lowered to the baby's foot for sun protection, or to enjoy a cozy snooze.

Another feature that is great is the reversible seat that allows you to alter the direction that your child faces. The reclining seat also provides excellent back and head support, so your child can enjoy a comfortable and relaxing nap in the carrycot or seat. Claire also loved the spacious shopping basket that can be accessed from the seat or carrycot unit in all positions and can hold a whole packet of nappies and a changing bag!

The Xplory X is a top-quality pram from Stokke and is suitable from birth. It includes a frame, a pushchair and a carrycot that can be set in a flat position. Other accessories like the rain cover must be purchased separately.

Ideal for whizzing about the house or taking a stroll in the park, this is the perfect toy! This would make a great addition to any child's collection of toys and is also a thoughtful present for birthdays or Christmas.

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 solid and sturdy in your hands despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile that it can be used as a bassinet, or Newborn Inlay from birth, as well as a Maxi Cosi car adapter.

Unlike some other lightweight prams like the Shine does not disappoint when it comes to cargo storage either. Its 22-pound capacity allows you to carry everything you require for a day of travel without feeling as if you need to leave everything behind.

The wheels are easy to attach to the frame. They clip on straight from the box. If you choose to purchase the bassinet option the frame snaps on with ease and has carry handles like those of a Moses basket. When you're done with it, the pram folds down to the perfect size, allowing you to put it in the smallest of vehicles.

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 that it can filter 150 liters of air per minute and can be connected to an app which shows the local air quality.

The only issue is the price. While it's less expensive than some other 2 in 1 car seat and pram-in-1 prams 2 in 1, the complete set still costs more than PS1,000. It's even harder to swallow when there are cheaper alternatives, like the Thule spring, which is more compact 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. They drop prams from a height, crash them down slopes and run them over a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their durability and strength. They certainly come out looking great!
