It's also quite agile and responsive, despite it being bigger than other double strollers.

Another affordable option is an option that is affordable is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller.

Parents appreciate the high-quality materials and workmanship, as well as the affordable cost. The only downside is that the seats don't recline as much as the other models we've examined and the rear seat isn't as well-lit due to its positioning - it's raised higher than the front seats.

The Joolz Geo 3 is another popular choice. It's slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
