Configurations For Every Parent
The Specs:
The Wave is a convertible stroller, which means you can use it as a single or a double stroller. It comes with a bassinet (for newborns) and a main seat.
In single-stroller mode, you can start out using the bassinet (which is sleep-safe approved) and then switch to the seat after the 6-month mark. You can also turn it into a full-fledged travel system by attaching a car seat to the stroller frame (adapters sold separately).
As a double stroller, you can attach both the included bassinet and seat at the same time. When your little one ages out of the bassinet, you can purchase a tandem seat (the connectors are included with the Wave) so you can use two seats at the same time.
Out of the box, you’ll get 7 configurations. However, the Wave can be used in up to 30 if you add a tandem seat, car seat, or ride-on board. Additionally, the Wave supports parent-facing or world-facing positioning for each attachment, giving it the ultimate flexibility.
