Buying a Single to Double Stroller

Families with two children of varying ages, require a stroller that can be converted from a single to a double. Experts like Katie Billingsley from Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat suggest looking for a stroller with a variety of seating arrangements.

Mockingbird's Single-to-Double Stroller comes with this feature- and more at a reasonable price point. As a direct-to-consumer company it does not have markups for retailers and provides an elegant stroller for less.

Simple to use

The most effective strollers are those with simple design features. They make it simple to use them on a daily basis. The brakes on some of our top-rated double-to-single strollers are located at the middle of their chassis, which is where they are easy to reach when pushing in single mode. Some of our strollers, however, have brakes that are more difficult to use in double mode.

Think about your lifestyle before deciding on the best double or single stroller for your family. If you're planning on having more than one child of the same age, a stroller that can grow with your family may be the best option. If you're not sure how many children you will have or when you'll have them, a single-seater stroller is more likely to be easily maneuverable. It also comes with a better resale price.

Easy to Fold

Some double strollers can be folded and unfolded with only one hand. Others can be folded with the seat in place. We think this is important as it makes the stroller much more maneuverable on busy sidewalks or in shops.

The Bugaboo Chicco Twin XL is a fantastic choice for parents of kids who are nearing the age of. It has a large under-seat storage basket, a convenient one-handed fold, and a large UPF 50+ canopy with a peekaboo window. The basket's back can also be folded down to fit a backpack or diaper bag. However the spring-loaded handle on the back of the canopy could make it susceptible to being damaged by baggage handlers (our editor had hers snap off when checking the stroller during a flight).

The G-Luxe tandem stroller from UPPAbaby is a great choice for tall parents looking for a stroller that's easy to move. It has a huge canopy as well as a leg rest that is suitable for the older child, and plenty of storage space. However the handlebar is high and doesn't adjust making it difficult to reach for people who aren't 5'4''..

Tandem strollers, that allow children to be seated next to each one another, can cause problems when it comes to sibling rivalries. Kids can fight over who sits in which position, particularly when they're in the same seat. We prefer side-by-side models that have adjustable seat heights, and a foot brake.

Easy to Store

A double stroller is a fantastic option for parents with twins or children with similar age. It makes it easier to navigate the neighborhood or park. Look for strollers that are easy to fold and provide ample space for both children and all of your gear. They should also be strong enough to handle diverse terrains without damaging the tires or causing danger to pedestrians walking by.

Double strollers tend to be bulkier and heavier than single strollers So keep this in mind if you have limited storage space or living space. Some may also be a challenge to fit in the trunk of a compact vehicle, so you might have to take the wheel or seat off to accommodate it.

Review the policies of the company on customer service and support.
