Best Convertible Strollers
Convertible strollers…convert from a single to a double stroller – and back again. It’s stroller magic, people. That’s why we’re running down the best convertible strollers on the market.

Although you can technically use a side-by-side double stroller as a single (duh) — it’s unwieldy. Plus it’s just a teeeensy bit awkward. Convertibles give you options. And because they’re so versatile, convertible strollers are a great value. If you’re the “getting your money’s worth” type of parent, you’re in the right place.

On the downside, convertibles are generally big and heavy, since they ultimately have to hold 90-100 lbs. Of course this is to be expected with any double stroller, but it also means that convertibles used in singles mode are larger and heavier (about ten pounds or so heavier) than “regular”/non-convertible single strollers.

Don’t underestimate how much an extra 10 lbs (or so) adds to the agony factor of a stroller! Weight matters a lot.
Top Convertible Strollers ~ Overview
$$ ~ Evenflo Xpand ~ Economy Pick ~ $370 as a double: cleverly engineered convertible stroller. Click link to see video preview.
$$ ~ Graco Uno2Duo Double Stroller ~ Affordable and Versatile ~ $409 as a double: a good but heavy (SUPER HEAVY) option, very versatile, most affordable.
$$$ ~ Britax B-Ready G3 ~ Most Compact/Maneuverable/Easy to Fold ~ $495 as a double: excellent maneuverability because 2nd seat goes in rear, folds the easiest of all these (and with both seats on).
$$$ ~ Mockingbird Single-to-Double ~ Best Economy Convertible ~ $495 as double: attractive stroller with same size toddler and 2nd, seat making it great for twins, and can be folded with both seats attached.
$$$ ~ Phil & Teds Sport ~ $599 as a double: sporty, highly maneuverable (2nd seat goes in rear), has a small footprint, but almost no storage.
$$$$ ~ Baby Jogger City Select ~ Best Convertible for Bigger Kids ~ $679 as a double: roomy convertible with lots of seating versatility, slightly less maneuverable (2nd seat goes in front, making it long and harder to steer), not good on hills!
$$$$ ~ Nuna Demi Grow ~ Best for Urban/Tight Spaces, Superior Maneuverability ~ $979 as double: luxe convertible stroller with stacked design that maneuvers great over hilly terrain. Lack of under-seat storage space when used in doubles mode.
$$$$ ~ UPPAbaby Vista V2 ~ Best Luxury Convertible ~ $1,169 as a double: top notch product with exceptional features and functionality, very maneuverable and fairly roomy, both seats have good recline, 2nd seat (“Rumble seat”) goes in front
They are all great picks and have a lot in common with one another (the P&T Sport is the most different, being a 3-wheeler).
1. Evenflo Xpand ~ Economy Pick
- Price: Single Stroller — $279, Second seat — $119, Travel System (includes stroller frame, toddler/carriage seat, SafeMax infant car seat with base, built-in upper and lower adapters and one cup holder) — ~ $399 (on sale at Amazon for $359), Rider Board — $59
- Weight: 28 lbs (single), 31.1 lbs (travel system)
- Weight Limits: 55 lbs per seat
I was blown away by this economy convertible stroller when I first encountered it at JPMA. It’s way cheaper than anything like it – and is extremely well engineered, with a top seat that can slide up or down the frame to better accommodate the 2nd seat (if/when you add it). This gives you better maneuverability because it pushes the center of gravity to the rear of the stroller. It also allows you to be closer (height-wise) to your rear-most child.
2. Graco Uno2Duo Double Stroller
- Price: $269 (single), $409 (double)
- Stroller Weight: 36.2 lbs (as a double)
- Weight Limits: 50 lbs per seat
Leave it to Graco to offer families a convertible stroller at a reasonable price — and the really nice thing with this stroller is that you don’t have to buy a ton of separate add-on parts to make it into a double. It already comes with everything you need: you can either buy the double stroller ($409) to get the regular stroller with the doubles seat, or opt for the travel system ($399) that comes with a Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35 car seat instead of the additional stroller seat.
As a single, you can use this stroller with its standard stroller seat, a car seat, or in bassinet mode — yes, the seat converts to a bassinet! — so it’s nice that you can use it with a newborn without necessarily needing a car seat. It’s also nice not to have an extra piece of gear to keep track of. (If you do want to use a car seat, the Graco Uno2Duo is compatible with Graco seats.)
To go from uno to duo (chuckle), you pull the back of the stroller out to extend the base, and from here, you can use the double as either a “standing stroller” (cool for older kids!) or a tandem double.


Without purchasing a second stroller seat, your older child can stand in the back (shown above). If you do purchase a second seat, you get four more riding options (below). Note that none of these allow for the holy grail of riding positions: double rear-facing (as seen in the City Select or UPPAbaby VISTA). But still, not too shabby.
You simply fasten the second seat at the bottom (note: the car seat can only fit on the primary seat with this one). The handlebars also extend to grow with the stroller. The second seat can be a little tricky to attach and detach at first, but most parents say they get the hang of it after several uses.

Conveniences
In single mode, the Uno2Duo has tons of super-accessible storage space at the base of the stroller, but all of it practically vanishes when you switch to doubles mode. It comes with a parent cup holder and a separate phone holder — convenient! — as well as a removable tray with cup holders for the primary child’s seat.
And the Uno2Duo folds up quickly and easily with one hand (you have to remove the second seat first, FYI). The fold is very cool, in fact! You don’t have to manhandle it.

The BIG downside with this stroller is its weight… no, 36.2 pounds was not a typo. This monster actually weighs that much. If this means nothing to you, just know that 36 pounds is craaazy heavy, even for a double. This is not the kind of thing you want to be hauling in and out of your car all the time — unless you want to use it as your strength training exercise…it’s a heavy duty vessel, indeed. *Despite its heft and size, though, parents who’ve used this stroller still really like it. So don’t let it scare you off!

Bottom Line: Convertibles are expensive by their very nature, but the Graco Uno2Duo is a more affordable option in this category. It’s easy to use, very versatile, and while it may not be the fanciest product or highest build quality, it gets the job done and performs quite admirably, especially given its low price, but be prepared for heavy lifting!
Best for:
- Families on a budget
- Kids of different ages or older little kids (i.e., a baby and a toddler or older preschooler, or two toddlers/older preschoolers)
- Families who also want a sit n stand (standing only, rather) option
Not good for:
- Twin babies
- People who need to lug their stroller around or in-and-out of cars frequently
- Those with minimal storage/trunk space
3. Britax B-Ready G3
- Price as Single: MSRP ~ $499 (on sale ~ $319); Doubles kit ~ MSRP $169
- Stroller Weight: 30 lbs (single) and 34.9 lbs (double)
- Weight Limits: 55 lbs for primary seat and 35 lbs for the second seat (roughly your average 3-year-old)

Price $499
Britax B-Ready G3 Stroller
All in all, the Britax B-Ready G3 is a luxury-ish, all-terrain stroller in singles mode and a compact, easy-to-maneuver, easy-to-fold stroller in doubles mode. This stroller is best for parents who value maneuverability and ease of folding (with both seats attached!), at the cost of access to storage (in the back) and seating versatility. It’s especially great for parents who live in hills and/or need to pop the stroller onto curbs, but not ideal for power-walking parents with long strides. We also like the price, which is less than half of luxury strollers like the Vista V2. All of these features make the B-Ready G3 one of our favorite convertible stroller values on the market.

- Children of differing ages
- People who live in hilly areas
- People who don’t have very good handicap ramps, and/or have to pop the stroller up a lot
- People who place a premium on easy folding and maneuverability
Not good for:
- Parents with a long stride
- Kids who get in and out of the stroller a ton
4. Mockingbird Single to Double — Best Economy Convertible
- Price as a single: $395; 2nd Seat Kit (to make it a double): $120; Bundle price for both the stroller and 2nd seat kit: ~ $495
- Stroller Weight: 26.5 lbs without 2nd Seat; 35 lbs with two seats
- Weight Limit: 45 lbs per seat
The Mockingbird Single-to-Double stroller is relatively new on the scene, and we’re totally here for it. This convertible stroller can easily accommodate two kids, with the use of the 2nd seat kit, purchased separately — note: it won’t be long until this stroller is also able to hold three kiddos — making it good pick for big families — with the addition of a glider board, debuting soon.
Both the toddler seat and the 2nd seat are exactly the same — there’s no big kid/little kid seat situation, like on some convertible strollers (looking at you, Britax B-Ready G3). Both seats can accommodate children up to 45 lbs, which definitely isn’t as much as the Nuna Demi Grow (50 lbs) or the Evenflo Pivot Xpand (55lbs), but should get you to your kids’ 3rd (and maybe even 4th??) birthdays.
The Mockingbird Single-to-Double accepts two infant car seats, and both stroller seats lay perfectly flat. With the purchase of the infant insert ($30, sold separately), you can place your babe(s) directly in the stroller seats from the getgo.
Bonus: You can fold the Mockingbird Single-to-Double with both seats attached (and it’s a super simple one-handed fold, too — woohoo!).

Price $350
Mockingbird Stroller
The Mockingbird has all the basics of a high-end stroller: a suspension system with substantial wheels, a kick-ass canopy, a good brake, an adjustable handlebar, generous storage, a high weight capacity, and then some. For a stroller that only costs $350 (for comparison, the UPPAbaby Vista is $899), it’s an impressive accomplishment.

5. Phil & Teds Sport
- Price as Single: MSRP $449; Doubles kit: ~ $169
- Price as Double: $599
- Stroller Weight: 27 lbs (single), which is pretty light for convertibles (in singles mode), and 31 lbs (double)
- Weight Limits: 44 lbs (a 5 y/o) for primary seat and 33 lbs (a 3 y/o) for the second seat
All in all, this is a compact, sporty, maneuverable, 3-wheeled double stroller.
Best for:
- Those looking for a compact, yet sporty, all-terrain inline stroller
- Those who value maneuverability above other things.
- Kids of different ages
Not good for:
- Kids who will fight about stadium seating
- Parents who want to be able to fold with the second seat attached
- Parents looking for the highest weight limits on both seats
- Parents needing storage
6. Baby Jogger City Select ~ Top Pick for Bigger Kids
- Price as Single: MSRP ~ $539 (~ $399 on sale); Price as a Double: ~ $679
- Doubles kit ~$179
- Stroller Weight as a single: 29.5 lbs; Stroller Weight as a Double: 37.8 lbs
- Weight Limit: 45 lbs per seat (90 lbs combined)
We’ll say at the start that we love the build quality of Baby Jogger strollers — they have a luxury “feel” without the luxury price.

Price $499
Baby Jogger City Select
The Baby Jogger City Select is a beautiful, VERY well-made, durable, versatile all-terrain stroller that can work as a double or single. You can also attach a glider board for an older child to ride. All in all, this stroller has 16 different seating configurations. It’s a long stroller and front-heavy, so can be harder than others to steer and push, but tall parents will enjoy the extra “kick” space. It meets the size requirements for Disney. Great for twins, or a baby and a toddler.

- A baby and a toddler

7. Nuna Demi Grow — Top Pick for Urban/Tight Spaces
- Price as a single: $799; Price as a double: ~$979
- Price for second stroller seat: $179
- Stroller Weight: 27.4 lbs (singles) and 35.6 (doubles)
- Weight Limit: 50 lbs per seat

Price $799
Nuna Demi Grow Stroller
The stacked design of the Demi Grow gives you the steerage and maneuverability of a single stroller, at the cost of under-basket storage (when in doubles mode). Also, the lower (2nd) child can’t rear-face and may feel a bit more crammed in, though we’ve noticed that younger/smaller children (under 3) don’t have this issue.
All in all, we believe the good qualities outweigh the bad, especially for moms or caregivers on the shorter side, for those whose kids are further apart in age, and for those who maneuverability is of utmost importance (for example, people who lives in the hills and/or need to pop the stroller up onto curbs with some frequency).

- Parents who want a luxury, stacked stroller (and don’t want a Phil and Ted’s – ha!)
- Those who live in hilly terrain — good steerage and maneuverability
- Especially good for shorter parents who have trouble seeing over longer strollers
Not good for:
- Families on a tight budget
- Parents who value under-seat storage while in doubles mode
- Those who desire double rear-facing mode
8. UPPAbaby Vista V2 – Top Luxury Pick
- Price as a single: $929 – $969; Price as a double: ~ $1,669
- Stroller Weight: 26.6 lbs (single) and 32.6 lbs (double)
- Weight Limit: The Toddler Seat can hold up to 50 lbs, and the Rumble Seat can accommodate children up to 35 lbs. Therefore, with both seats attached, the stroller can hold up to 85 lbs. (Note that the bassinet can hold up to 20 lbs.)

Price $929
UPPAbaby VISTA V2
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is an incredible convertible stroller for those who can afford it, much like it’s predecessor (the regular Vista). The build quality is top notch and the features are downright impressive: the telescoping handlebar, the HUGE storage basket, the badass bassinet, the easy (standing) fold, and the versatile rumble seat. If you’re looking for a luxury convertible stroller you can use for years to come with your growing family, you won’t be disappointed. It holds up nicely on the resale market as well.
