Thule's air purifier canopy is an eye-catcher also, as it has a built-in fan that filters the air you breathe, removing pollen, bacteria, viruses, and other nasty 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 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 there are other options like Thule Spring. Thule Spring which is lighter and smaller and costs less than half the price.
Thule's strollers are known for their strength and durability. I've seen them through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from a height and then crash them down slopes, then run them over a bumpy buggy track in the snow to test their durability and endurance. They look amazing!
