The Shine stroller comes from a company known for its innovative, stylish products. It is one of the lightest strollers on the market, and it feels sturdy and solid to hold, despite its sleek design.

The wheels are 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 a Moses basket.

Thule's air purifier canopy is a standout also, as it has an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe, removing bacteria, viruses, pollen and other nuisances. Thule claims that it can filter 150l per minute of air and can be connected to an app which shows the air quality in the area.
The only issue is the cost. Although it's cheaper than some other 2-in-1 prams, a complete set still costs more than PS1,000. This is especially difficult to accept when there are alternatives like Thule Spring. Thule Spring which is lighter and smaller and costs less than half as much.
Thule's strollers are known for their strength and durability. I've seen them go through the test of the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the durability and quality of their strollers they drop them from high places and crash down slopes, then run over a bumpy track in the snow. They certainly look great!
