Some convertible double strollers like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 comes with a carrycot which is suitable for newborns. This allows the double stroller to be compacted and reduced in size when not being used. Our testers were impressed with the City Select's innovative one-handed fold. However, it requires some practice. It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double pushchair sale strollers.

The Cybex Mockingbird single-to-double stroller is an alternative that is affordable. The seat can be transformed from a parent-facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet-style mode is a great option for infants.

However, she believed that this was compensated for because it's easy to move and has plenty of storage with two cup holders for parents and their children, seat-back pockets, and a large basket under the seat. She also appreciated the seat's design, which is reversible, so they can be set to face one another for siblings who want to chat and interact together when out and about.

A lighter-weight but just as impressive choice is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller, which weighs only 18 lbs. It is compact and features a self-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents are impressed by the quality of materials and workmanship, and the price. The only downsides are that the seats do not recline as much compared to other models we have tested and the rear seat is not as well-lit due to its location and height. It is higher than the first seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim sleek, stylish and easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. It is important to remember that, despite their slimmer design side by side prams are larger than tandems and in-line doubles and can be difficult to navigate on busy streets or in shops.
