The wheels are easy to attach to the frame. They clip on straight from the box. The bassinet is easy to put together and has handles that are similar to those of the Moses basket. The pram folds down to a compact, tidy size, meaning it can be tucked away in the tiniest cars.
Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher as well, with a built-in fan that filters the air you breathe, removing pollen, bacteria, viruses and other harmful contaminants. Thule claims that it can filter 150 litres per minute of air and is able to be connected to an app that displays the local air quality.
The only downside is the cost. While it's cheaper than some other 2-in-1 prams entire kit costs more than PS1,000. It's even more difficult to accept when there are less expensive alternatives, like the Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.
Thule's strollers are known for their strength and durability. I've seen them through the test of the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from heights and then crash them down slopes, then take them on bumpy tracks in the snow to test their quality and endurance. They certainly look nice!
