The wheels are easy to attach to the frame. They snap on straight from the box. The bassinet is also simple to attach and has handles that are similar to those of a Moses basket.

Thule's air purifier canopy is a highlight as well, with an inbuilt fan that purifies the air you breathe to eliminate pollen, bacteria, viruses, and other nasty contaminants. Thule claims that it can filter 150l per minute of air and can be connected to an app that displays the local air quality.
The only downside is the price. Even though it is less than some other 2 in 1 prams, it still costs over PS1,000 for the full kit. That's especially hard to swallow when you have alternatives such as Thule Spring. Thule Spring, which is lighter and more compact and costs half the price.
Thule's strollers are famous for their strength and durability. I've seen them go through the test of the wringer at the Thule Hillerstop headquarters in Sweden. They drop prams from a height and then crash them down slopes and ride them across bumpy trails in the snow to test their performance and endurance. They look fantastic!
