Best Single-to-Double Convertible Strollers of 2025

Are you looking for the perfect stroller to meet the needs of your growing family? Perhaps you’re still on the fence about having more children down the road? Well, Snuggle Bugz has got you covered!

Whether you are expecting your second child, having twins, or simply keeping your options open in case you decide to expand your brood later, a convertible stroller is a fantastic option. A convertible stroller allows you to add a second seat, transforming it into a double stroller. In some cases, you can even add a small ride-along board for a third child to catch a ride! This expandability can be a godsend if you want to tow around several children at the same time.

If that wasn’t enough, these strollers can also accommodate infant car seats, turning them into a bonafide travel system (note: this varies by model and may require adapters).

Tandem vs. Side-by-Side 

On most convertible strollers the seats are stacked in tandem (one in front of the other). However, there are a couple of products on the market like the Donkey 5 Mono that can convert from a single stroller into a side-by-side double stroller (more on this product later). To learn more about the differences between these two types of double strollers, click here.

We carry a variety of convertible strollers that will make you and your little one the talk of the town! So buckle up and grab a snack as we break down our top convertible strollers for you!

UPPAbaby Vista V3

SPECS: 

• Toddler Seat Weight Limit: 50 lbs. 
• RumbleSeat Weight Limit: 40 lbs. 
• Included Bassinet: No (sold separately) 
• Travel System Friendly: Yes 
• Ride-Along Board Compatible: Vista Piggyback Ride-Along Board

The UPPAbaby Vista V3 Stroller is the latest upgrade in the beloved Vista series. As one of the most popular convertible strollers on the market, this stylish stroller boasts a sleek, refreshed design and improved features for growing families. Though the bassinet is now sold separately, the V3 comes with a revamped toddler seat that’s packed with comfort upgrades — like a new Toddler Seat design with a removable liner to adapt to different seasons. 

The redesigned wheels and improved suspension ensure a smoother ride, while the stroller's no-rethread harness and magnetic buckle make adjusting and securing your child a breeze. The V3 can still convert into a double stroller with the addition of the RumbleSeat and can even carry three kids with the PiggyBack Ride-Along Board. We love how the new RumbleSeat has an increased weight limit of 40 lbs, meaning your child can ride in comfort even longer. 

If you’re looking for a premium stroller that offers versatility, a stylish design, and long-lasting quality, the UPPAbaby Vista V3 is definitely worth checking out!

Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono

SPECS:

• Toddler Seat Weight limit: 50 lbs. 
• Weight Limit for Second Seat: 50 lbs. 
• Included Bassinet: Yes 
• Travel System Friendly: Yes 
• Ride-Along Board Compatible: Comfort Wheeled Board 
• Free-Standing Fold: Yes 
• Basket Capacity: Under-seat Basket: 22 lbs. / Luggage Basket: 22 lbs.

As previously mentioned, the Donkey 5 Mono is one of the only strollers on the market that converts from a single to a double side-by-side stroller. The seats are positioned a little bit higher on the stroller to be closer to their parents and can be used in a few configurations. The Mono configuration is single-use, with either the bassinet or toddler seat used with the side storage basket.

When you are ready, you can use the stroller in Duo Mode by removing the luggage basket, expanding the frame width-wise, and adding a bassinet or second toddler seat. This stroller can also be used in Twin Mode with a second bassinet.

Because of the equal weight distribution, this side-by-side stroller is a dream to push and has the benefit of having a full 50 lbs. weight limit for its second seat (unlike other strollers on our list). With its soft-touch fabrics and padding, children stay cozy, and parents will love how small this stroller compacts when folded, making it easy to stow in your trunk.

Peg Perego YPSI

SPECS:

• Weight Limit for Toddler Seat: 50 lbs. 
• Weight limit for second seat: 50 lbs. 
• Included Bassinet: No 
• Travel System Friendly: Yes
• Ride-Along Board Compatible: Book Board Free-Standing 
• Fold: Yes 

The Peg Perego YPSI Stroller is a great little stroller that provides excellent value and transforms from a single to a double with ease! Standing at a slender 20 inches wide, it only comes with a reversible seat, but parents can purchase the YPSI Bassinet to make it newborn-friendly if they choose. Available in multiple colours and fabric patterns, the YPSI has full suspension for a smooth ride, a standing fold, a multi-position seat recline, and an adjustable footrest for those tired little feet!

When you are ready to go into Duo Mode, all you need to do is purchase the Bassinet or the Stroller Companion Seat and you are good to go. We also love that you can purchase the stroller as part of a travel system.

Silver Cross Wave 2023

• Included Bassinet: Yes 
• Travel System Friendly: Yes 
• Ride-Along Board Compatible: Yes
• Free-Standing Fold: No (Horizontal Fold) 
• Basket Capacity: 33 lbs. 

The Silver Cross Wave 2023 is a high-quality stroller that pretty much has it all! Not only does it have a sleek look, it allows for seven configurations right out of the box (it can do up to 30 when adding in additional seats), and its magnesium and aluminum alloy frame is lightweight yet strong enough to support up to 55 lbs. The Wave also has a fuss-free magnetic harness, bumper bars, a snack tray, various covers and nets, and an ergonomic design for supporting baby’s healthy development. We also love the generous under-seat storage basket that can hold up to 33 lbs. of gear!

Like the other convertible strollers on our list, the Wave can accommodate twins or a second child with a second bassinet or tandem seat.

Cybex Gazelle S 2023

SPECS:

• Weight Limit for Toddler Seat: 50 lbs. 
• Weight limit for second seat: 50 lbs. 
• Included Bassinet: No 
• Travel System Friendly: Yes 
• Ride-Along Board Compatible: Gazelle S Kid Board Free-Standing 
• Fold: Yes 
• Basket Capacity: Under-seat Basket: 30 lbs. / Shopping Basket: 25 lbs.

The Gazelle S 2023 Stroller from Cybex might be the most underrated stroller on this list. This stroller comes with tons of great features at a reasonable price point. Included in the box are a toddler seat, car seat adapters, and a small (removable) shopping basket that can be used when the stroller is in single mode. While the stroller doesn’t come with a bassinet, it can accommodate a newborn with the purchase of the Gazelle S Cot.

The stroller folds to a compact height of only 12.2 inches, which makes for easy transport and convenient storage in homes with little room to spare. An XXL UPF 50+ canopy protects baby’s skin from UV light, and a one-pull harness helps get children in and out of the seat with minimal effort. Babies come with tons of extra stuff, so we really appreciate that parents can tow up to 55 lbs. of essentials between the under-seat basket and shopping basket.

The Gazelle S is also flexible, allowing use in over 20 configurations, depending on if you’re using it as a single or double stroller. When a new bundle of joy joins the family, you can convert the stroller to a double with the purchase of a second seat or the Cybex Cot. The stroller can also be used in twin mode too!

If you are looking for a convertible stroller that won’t break the bank but still has many of the must-have features parents love, look no further than the City Select 2 Stroller from Baby Jogger. While this stroller only comes with a reversible toddler seat, it can still support up to 24 configurations when used with a City Select 2 second seat or compatible infant car seat. 

Comfort is key with the City Select 2. The stroller is equipped with "forever air" tires, ensuring smooth rides on a variety of terrains, from city sidewalks to park trails. Parents of all heights will appreciate the telescopic handlebar, which adjusts to fit different users, reducing strain during long walks. The adjustable seat reclines for nap time, while the UPF 50+ canopy provides ample sun protection. With easy one-handed folding and a compact design, the stroller fits well into trunks without taking up too much space. Plus, the large under-seat basket and back-seat compartment offer plenty of storage for essentials.
