Buying a Single to Double Stroller

For families with two children of various ages, a stroller that can be converted from single to double is vital. Experts like Katie Billingsley of Fourth Trimester Postnatal Retreat recommend looking for a stroller that can be used in a variety of seating arrangements.

Mockingbird's Single to Double Stroller features this feature - and more -- at an affordable price. As a direct-to-consumer company it doesn't have to pay retailer markups and offers an attractive stroller at a lower cost.

Easy to Use

The most compact double stroller user-friendly strollers feature intuitive design features that make daily use a breeze. The brakes on some of our top-rated double-to-single strollers are situated in the middle of their chassis, which is where they are easier to reach when pushing in single mode. Some of our strollers, however, have brakes which are more difficult to use when in double mode.

Think about your lifestyle before deciding on the best double or single stroller for your family. If you're planning to have multiple children close in age, a convertible stroller that adapts to your family might be the best choice. If you're not certain the number of children you'll have or when a single stroller will likely be more nimble and offer better resale value.
