The Shine stroller is from a brand known for its innovative, stylish products. It is one of the lightest strollers available on the market, and it feels sturdy and robust to hold, despite its sleek design. It's also extremely versatile and can be used as a bassinet, or Newborn Inlay from birth, as well as an Maxi Cosi car adapter.
Contrary to other lightweight strollers that are lighter, the Shine does not disappoint in terms of storage for cargo either. The 22-pound capacity of the Shine allows you to carry everything you need on an excursion without having to worry about putting everything in the back.
It's also easy to assemble and the back wheels being attached to the main frame straight out of the box. If you choose to purchase the bassinet option that is attached, it can be plugged in easily and comes with carry handles similar to those of a Moses basket. When you're done the pram folds down to an elegant and compact size, allowing you to fit it in the smallest of vehicles.
Thule's canopy air purifier is also an impressive feature. It has a built-in air filter that removes dust, bacteria, viruses pollen, and other unpleasant things. Thule claims that it can clean 150l per minute of air and can be connected to an app which shows the quality of the air in your area.
The only downside is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2-in-1 prams complete set still costs more than PS1,000. This is especially difficult to accept when you have alternatives such as the Thule Spring that is lighter and more compact and costs half as much.
Thule's strollers are famous for their strength and durability. I've seen them through the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from a height and then crash them down slopes, and then ride them across bumpy trails in the snow to test their performance and durability. They certainly look good!
