<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\u201cPurchasing a stroller can be an investment, so having one that gives options to grow with your child and with your family can be a great choice,\u201d explains\u00a0Amanda Stovall, MD, an Illinois-based board-certified pediatrician.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During testing, we evaluated the ease of assembly, the difficulty of adding and removing a second seat, maneuverability on various terrains, and the ease of folding and unfolding. We also looked at design (aesthetics, safety, and comfort), storage capabilities, value, and durability. We regularly check in with our editor testers to see how well these strollers are holding up, and we continually test new models to add to this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cybex Gazelle S Stroller<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhy We Like It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The tester-favorite Cybex Gazelle S really does move like a Gazelle\u2014effortlessly and easily\u2014even when weighed down by three kids and groceries. We were very impressed by the incredible quality and flexibility: The Gazelle has over 20 different configurations of seats and storage pieces. Our tester has been using this as their primary stroller for three months, and it\u2019s held up great: \u201cWe love this stroller. It still moves smoothly and quickly. Can\u2019t complain!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maneuverability:<\/strong> Thanks to its lightweight frame, foam tires, front-wheel shocks, and all-wheel suspension, testers raved about this \u201cvery agile\u201d stroller that offers a smooth ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Comfort:<\/strong>\u00a0Extra-large canopies shield kids from the elements, while the footrest and fully reclining seats ensure they stay comfortable. Grown-ups will also appreciate the included cupholder, a surprisingly rare feature on high-end strollers lately. Accessories available for purchase include a\u00a0snack tray, an\u00a0attachable parasol,\u00a0rain covers, a\u00a0cooling seat liner, and additional\u00a0cup holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage: <\/strong>The included removable shopping basket keeps your items within arm\u2019s reach. When a second seat replaces the upper basket, the under-stroller storage offers ample room, though you\u2019ll have to reach a bit. The stroller itself folds down pretty compactly for stowing in a trunk or closet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assembly is fairly complicated. The second seat got stuck in recline immediately upon taking it out of the box. Our testers were able to fully remove the seat and fix it, but found this process to be annoying, given the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Uppababy Vista V3 was beloved by testers for its maneuverability, comfort, storage capacity, sturdiness, and adaptability in various configurations (bassinet, rumble seat, and car seat). We also appreciated the stroller\u2019s backward compatibility with accessories for previous versions of the Vista. A 6-month-old baby and a 3-year-old toddler used this stroller daily for playground visits, museums, grocery shopping, and walks, and it proved quite the workhorse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maneuverability: <\/strong>We enjoyed tight turning and smooth handling, even on bumpy surfaces like broken pavement. This stroller handled cobblestone hills and stone stairs \u201cadmirably (way better than my friend’s stroller),\u201d our tester noted. The design is fairly streamlined, though getting through doors can be tricky with a cup holder added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comfort: <\/strong>Our pint-sized testers tried out every seat permutation\u2014bassinet, rumble seat, carseat; low position, high position\u2014and always seemed quite comfortable. Moving the seats is as simple as pushing a button (or two). The straps also adjust easily. The removable bassinet was especially helpful with an infant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage:<\/strong>\u00a0Testers fully loaded the 30-pound capacity storage basket with a diaper bag, snack bag, purse, coat, baby carrier, bottle cooler, and toys. \u201cThis is hands down the best thing about this stroller\u2014it fits\u00a0everything,\u201d our tester gushed, yet remains stable and maneuverable. The stroller itself is heavy and takes up a good portion of our tester\u2019s trunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since our tester kept it in her trunk, she had to assemble and disassemble it every time she used it, which is a bit of a pain. The brake was a bit sticky, and you have to buy a cup holder separately. To use the rumble seat and bassinet, the bassinet must be in the lower position, which our tester disliked, and with both seats attached, the stroller becomes much less nimble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At only $450, this Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller is less than half the cost of many other models. Even with the second seat, the total cost is under $600. Improvements on this 2.0 version include easier unfolding and strap adjustment, smoother rolling, and a larger canopy. Testers praised the simple assembly and raved about how light and easy to push the stroller is: \u201cI just kept saying \u2018It’s SO lightweight!\u2019 throughout the first day I used it,\u201d one tester said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maneuverability:<\/strong> Testers found this stroller quite maneuverable: \u201cI was able to push this stroller around with one hand with ease,\u201d noted a tester. It\u2019s as narrow as a traditional single stroller, so it fits through doorways without issue. It smoothly handled every situation we threw at it, from dirt paths to steep uphill walks carrying both baby and gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comfort:<\/strong> The 22+ seating configurations allow you to position both seats facing forward, both facing backward, or mix and match. Both seats recline. Our tester said her child \u201cwas comfortable in it for long periods\u2014like an entire day at Disneyland\u2014without complaint.\u201d The ability to pivot the handle up or down really improved the comfort for caregivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage:<\/strong> Our tester loved the huge storage basket on the bottom, which can hold up to 25 pounds. You can fold this stroller one-handed if you have only one seat attached, facing forward. Otherwise, you need to remove the seats to fold the stroller. When folded, the stroller is good for storing, but not for moving around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, this stroller had a noticeable wobble. One tester felt it was not as sturdy as they would like. Testers also said the canopy was so light as to border on flimsy and was constantly popping off or flopping back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Convertible strollers are kind of magical: They grow right along with your family, changing from a single stroller to a\u00a0double…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-strollers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21,"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19\/revisions\/21"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beststrollers.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}But Take Note<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
