The only downside is the price. Although it's less expensive than other 2 in 1 stroller and car seat in 1 prams it still costs over PS1,000 for the full kit. It's even harder to take in when there are cheaper alternatives, such as Thule spring. Thule spring which is smaller and lighter.

Thule's strollers are renowned for their durability and I've seen them put through the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop HQ in Sweden. They drop prams from a height and then slam them down slopes, then ride them across bumpy trails in the snow to test their quality and strength. They certainly look good!
