The only issue is the price. Although it's less expensive than other 2 in 1 prams, it still costs more than PS1,000 for the entire kit. This is especially difficult to accept when there are other options like Thule Spring. Thule Spring which is lighter and more compact and costs less than half as much.
Thule's strollers are famous for their strength and durability. I've seen them go through the testing rig at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. To test the strength and quality of their strollers, they drop them from high places and then crash them down slopes. They also run over a bumpy track in the snow. They look amazing!
