The only issue is the price. Although it's cheaper than other 2 in 1 prams it still costs more than PS1,000 for the full kit. It's even more difficult to accept when there are less expensive alternatives, like Thule spring. Thule spring that is smaller and lighter.

The durability of Thule's strollers is legendary and I've seen them tested at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. To test the durability and quality of their prams, they drop them from high places, crash down slopes and run over a bumpy track in the snow. They look fantastic!
