FAQs About Single-to-Double, Convertible Strollers 

What is a convertible stroller?
A convertible stroller is designed to grow with your family. It starts as a single stroller for one child and can later be converted into a double stroller by adding a second seat, bassinet, or car seat attachment—no need to buy a completely new stroller when your family expands.

How does a single-to-double stroller work?
A single-to-double stroller uses an adaptable frame that allows parents to attach a second seat or infant car seat as their family grows. Some expand side-by-side, while others convert to a tandem or in-line setup with one seat positioned behind or in front of the other.

What are the benefits of a convertible stroller?
Convertible strollers save money and storage space since you only need one stroller that evolves over time. They’re also perfect for growing families, offering flexibility, long-term value, and convenience without sacrificing comfort or style.

Is a convertible stroller worth the investment?
Yes—if you plan to have more than one child, a convertible stroller can be a smart long-term purchase. It eliminates the need to buy a separate double stroller later, making it a cost-effective and practical choice for many families.

Can I use a convertible stroller for twins?
Many convertible strollers can be used for twins, depending on the model. Look for designs that allow two bassinets or two infant car seats to attach at the same time, or that offer a true side-by-side configuration.

Do I need adapters to turn my stroller into a double?
That depends on the brand. Some convertible strollers, like the Bugaboo Donkey, expand into a double without adapters, while others require add-on pieces or connectors to attach the second seat or car seat.

What’s the difference between a tandem and a side-by-side convertible stroller?
A tandem (in-line) stroller seats one child in front of the other, making it narrower and easier to maneuver through tight spaces. A side-by-side stroller keeps both children on the same level, offering equal views and comfort but taking up more width.

Are convertible strollers heavier than regular single strollers?
Generally, yes. Because they’re built with a stronger frame to support two children, convertible strollers tend to be slightly heavier than standard single strollers. However, most are still designed for easy pushing and smooth steering.

Can I attach an infant car seat to a convertible stroller?
Absolutely. Most convertible strollers are compatible with infant car seats through included or optional adapters, allowing you to create a complete travel system that works from birth through toddlerhood.

Which convertible strollers are the best for growing families?
Some of the most popular convertible single-to-double strollers include the UPPAbaby Vista V3, Bugaboo Donkey, Cybex Gazelle S, Joie Chive, and Veer Switchback & Roll. Each offers unique features and configurations to fit different family lifestyles.
