Unlike some other lightweight prams, the Shine does not disappoint in terms of cargo storage either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine lets you to carry everything you require on an excursion without worrying about leaving anything behind.

Thule's canopy air purifier is also an excellent feature. It comes with an air filter that eliminates dust, bacteria, viruses pollen, and other unpleasant things. The company claims it can remove 150 litres of air per minute and can connect to an app that shows the quality of your air in your area.
The only issue is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 prams, it still costs over PS1,000 for the entire kit. It's even harder to take in when there are cheaper alternatives, like Thule spring. Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.
The durability of Thule's strollers is legendary and I have seen them tested at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. To test pram 2 in 1 and quality of their strollers, they drop them from high places and then crash them down slopes. They also run on a bumpy path in the snow. They certainly look good!
