With its premium fabrics, spacious shopping basket and puncture-proof tyres, this sophisticated pram is an absolute pleasure to move. It can be used right from birth thanks to the carrycot that is flat and lie-flat. It is also compatible with a car safety seat.

Once you've achieved the one-hand folding it's a breeze to use. It's also easy to hoick on and off trains and buses.

1. Cybex Gazelle

The Cybex Gazelle is an extremely configurable stroller 2in1 that can be incredibly flexible. It adapts to the requirements of your family. It comes with more than 20 options that let you use it in twin or single mode right from birth. The car seat adaptors have been built into the frame, which means you don't have to purchase a separate infant seat. This makes it simple to convert it from a mono stroller into a twin stroller. It comes with a huge basket to hold all the essentials for both children.

The seats are extremely comfortable and both can recline almost flat, meaning that your toddler will be able to nap comfortably. The canopy has two height settings and plenty of space for your child's hood. It's also light and compact making it easy to maneuver through tight spaces like hallways. The wheels are strong and puncture-proof, and the handlebars can be adjusted to different heights, allowing you to drive comfortably despite your height.

The Gazelle comes with a range of accessories that include a footmuff snack tray, cup holders and rain cover. The stroller comes with four beautiful fabrics to complement the sloping contours of the frame, and the taupe-tinted aluminium chassis. The stylish design has an elegant, sleek style that's ideal for any parent.

One of the great things about the Gazelle is its ease of use. The instructions are clearly displayed on a handy leaflet in the base of the shopping basket and the car seat adaptors are color coded to make it easier to understand. It also comes with a broad selection of seating configurations that make it suitable for families with children from birth to preschool age. It can even be used as a twin stroller with another unit that can be purchased separately and is compatible with a wide range of Cybex infant car seats. The only issue with this stroller is its price. However, you're paying for quality and versatility.

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 they are comfortable when they travel for longer periods of time. A full-coverage extendable hood and sun visor protects little ones from the elements, and a convenient tray for parents that has cup holders and storage pockets offers ample space for all the essentials. Safety features include linked foot-operated breaks and locking swivel wheel.

The Techno's handlebars are height-adjustable for taller parents and have a soft, satin finish to feel good against your skin. The chassis is light compact and easy to transport and store. This is particularly useful if you are travelling by public transport or placing it in the boot of your car. Its slim profile also makes it easier to push on uneven surfaces, while the rear-facing footrest and reversible seat allow you to get to the front of the shops easily.

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

This model is not recommended for babies. However, it is suitable for children 3 months and older. You can buy one of Maclaren's lighter umbrella strollers if you require an infant stroller at this point. It's a great choice for older babies and children because they'll be content to sleep on the seat, whether at home or on the road.

For a fantastic combination of style and practicality this 2 in 1 car seat stroller-in-1 stroller is the best. Its sleek design is stylish and the high-quality materials mean it'll be able to withstand everyday use, too. It's also adaptable, so you can include an infant car seat or carrycot once your baby is old enough. Parenthood isn't always predictable however a 2-in-1 stroller 2in1 like this will allow you to adapt to the demands of your daily life.

3. M&P Pramette

The M&P Pramette is a perfect pram/pushchair combination for families with two kids or first-time parents. It includes a carrycot that's approved for sleep at night and easily converts into a double pushchair when the time is appropriate. It's not the most affordable option but its gorgeous design and features make it well worth the money.

Claire found it easy to maneuver this pram 2in1 on different terrains and in tight spaces like narrow aisles in stores. The swivel wheels let her steer it with precision. Additionally, its compact fold size makes it easy to store it at home. The large air-filled tires provide an enjoyable ride and are also able to handle off-road surfaces. The hood can be lowered right to the baby's feet for sun protection or for a cozy sleep and is very simple to use.

The reversible option is another fantastic feature, since it allows you to change the direction in which the child is facing. The reclining seat offers support for the back and head which means your child can take a peaceful nap in their carrycot or seat. Claire liked the large shopping basket that can be accessed from the seat or carrycot in any position. It can accommodate an entire pack of nappies and a change bag.

The Xplory X premium stroller is available from Stokke. It is suitable for babies as young as birth. It comes with a frame, a pushchair and the carrycot which can be set in a flat position. Other accessories like the rain cover 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 encourage role-playing and to stimulate imagination. Its realistic features include a rain hood with a removable design, a handy under seat shopping basket and co-ordinating changing bag. It's ideal for whizzing around the house, or taking a stroll in the park! This would make a great addition to the toys collection of any child and would also make a great gift for Christmas or birthdays.

4. Thule Shine

Thule is a brand that's well-known for its stylish and practical products and the Shine stroller is no exception. It's among the lightest strollers on market, and it feels sturdy and robust to hold despite its minimalist design. It's also extremely versatile, and can be used right from birth thanks to the accessories included which transform it into a bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or Newborn Nest and a Maxi Cosi car seat adapter (accessories sold separately).

The Shine isn't like other lightweight prams in the area of cargo storage. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to carry everything you need on a day trip without worrying about putting anything in the wrong place.

It's also easy to put together with the back wheels clipping on to the main frame right out of the box. If you choose to purchase 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. When you're done with it the pram folds to an elegant and compact size so you can fit it into the smallest of vehicles.

Thule's canopy air purifier is an excellent feature. It has a built-in air filter that gets rid of dust, bacteria, viruses, pollen and other nasty things. The company claims that it can filter 150 litres per minute of air and can be connected to an app that shows the local air quality.

The only issue is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 pram-in-1 prams, a complete kit 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.

Thule's strollers are famous for their durability and I've seen them put through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the quality and strength of their prams they drop them from high places and crash down slopes, then run over a bumpy track in the snow. They look great!
