You can accommodate up to three children on the seat board or two toddlers in the seats, and still have room for shopping bags. Accessories like rain covers are also available. Typically, convertible double strollers are bigger and heavier than single pushchairs as they have to be capable of holding two or more children. The Graco Modes Nest2Grow is one instance of a low-cost convertible that is user-friendly, but our testers felt that it was a little heavy for the money.

Some double strollers that convert into convertibles, such as the Baby Jogger City Select 2 include a carrycot suitable for babies. This reduces the size of the double stroller when not in use and makes it smaller. The City Select's clever, one-handed folding impressed our testers, but it takes some time to master. It's also very nimble and responsive, despite being bigger than double buggy that converts to single strollers.

Another option that is reasonably priced is an affordable option is the Cybex Mockingbird Single-to-cheap double pushchair Stroller. The seat can be transformed from a parent facing infant car seat to an forward-facing toddler seat. The bassinet feature is a great option for infants.

The iCandy Peach can be converted from a single pushchair to double with the addition of a toddler seat or the brand's carrycot (which is ideal to sleep at night). Our test subjects were impressed by the comfort of the seats and love the fact that they can recline in a variety of positions, come with built-in leg and foot supports and generous UPF 50+ canopy that has peekaboo windows. The rear seat can be raised to allow the child of a higher age can stand on it to reach the basket of shopping.

Cher stated that the only negative aspect of the iCandy Peach was its weight. However, she believed this was offset because it is easy to maneuver and has plenty of storage and cup holders for parents and children seats-back pockets, as well as a large basket under the seat. Cher also loved that seats can be flipped so that they be positioned to face each other, which is perfect for siblings who want to chat and have conversations when out and about.

A lighter and equally impressive option is the Delta Children LX side-by-side stroller that weighs just 18 pounds, is extremely compact and features an auto-standing fold that makes it easy to transport and put in your trunk or at home. Parents love the quality of the materials and craftsmanship as well as the price is low. The only negatives are that the seats do not recline as much as other models we've tried and the rear seat is not as visible due to its position as it is higher than the first seat.

Another popular choice is the Joolz Geo 3, which is slim, sleek and easy to steer, and comes with an appealing design and a lifetime guarantee. Although they are narrower than side-by-side strollers, they can be larger than tandems and inline doubles. This makes them difficult to maneuver on busy streets and in shops.
