Why is the UPPAbaby Vista V3 our pick?
The UPPAbaby Vista V3 works as well as a single stroller as it does as a double. On its own it's a full-size stroller with a 30 lb basket and a seat rated to 50 lb. When a sibling arrives, it takes a second seat (the RumbleSeat, sold separately), and up to three children with a riding board. It also accepts UPPAbaby's bassinet and infant car seats, so a newborn and a toddler can ride together.
The downsides: it lists at $999.99 before the second seat, weighs 27.6 lb with the toddler seat, and folds to 16.3×25.7×33.8 in, which is not small.
What should you look for in a single-to-double stroller?
- The full price with two seats. Add the second seat, adapters and any bassinet to the base price before comparing.
- The configurations you'll actually use. Check the maker allows the combination you need, for example an infant car seat on top and a toddler below.
- Weight and fold. These strollers are all heavy. Make sure you can lift it into your trunk. See how to measure your trunk.
- Basket access with two seats on. A large basket helps less when the lower seat covers its opening.

Single-to-double stroller FAQ
What is the best single-to-double stroller?
The UPPAbaby Vista V3 is our pick. It takes a second seat (sold separately) or a riding board, has a 30 lb basket and a 50 lb seat, and works with UPPAbaby's bassinet and car seats. The Mockingbird Single-to-Double 3.0 is the best value at $549, plus $175 for the second seat.
Is the Mockingbird as good as the UPPAbaby Vista V3?
It's close for much less money. The Mockingbird costs $549 to the Vista's $999.99, has a lifetime warranty and a 25 lb basket. The Vista scores higher overall for its build, steering and range of accessories. Both are heavy and fold large.
What is the cheapest single-to-double stroller?
Of the strollers we cover, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand is the lowest-priced at $439.99, with its second seat sold separately. It weighs 30.2 lb, and reviewers rate its handling and build below the Vista V3 and Mockingbird, so it suits flat sidewalks and occasional use best.
Should I buy a single-to-double or a side-by-side double?
Buy a single-to-double if your second child is a few years away, so you use it as a single first. For twins or children close in age who will both ride most days, a side-by-side double like the Zoe Twin V3 gives both seats the same view and legroom.
