It's also simple to put together, with the back wheels being attached to the main frame straight out of the box.

Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher too, with an integrated fan that filters the air you breathe to remove bacteria, viruses, pollen, and other nasty nasties. Thule claims that it can filter 150l of air every minute, and it can be connected to an app that will show the air quality in your area.
The only issue is the price. Although it's less expensive than other 2 in 1 prams, it still costs over PS1,000 for the entire kit. It's a bit difficult to swallow when there are other options like the Thule Spring that is lighter and more compact and costs less than half the price.
Thule's strollers are renowned for their strength and durability. I've seen them put through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the durability and quality of their prams they drop them from heights and then crash them down slopes. They also traverse a bumpy track in the snow. They look amazing!
