Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Converting single strollers to double stroller

Long story short, I want a new stroller for 15-month-old DS.  DH and I think we will have another DC, but aren't positive.  (Planning to TTC next Feb.)  I don't want to spend the money for the Baby Jogger or other "high end" stoller if I'm going to end up with a double at some point.

Do you know if Baby Jogger or BOB or MacLaren makes a connector for 2 single stollers?  Should I just get a double stroller and forget the whole thing?

  • The only one I know of that converts is Phil and Ted"s

    I do have the Britax B-Ready for my 2u2 and LOVE it! But if you just want to simply connect 2 strollers, this connector is probably the way to go!

  • i have never heard good things about the stroller connectors - and many MoMs on the multiples board have tried them - i would NOT go that route.

    The Phil & Teds & BJ CIty Select are two GREAT options. I have owned both (i sold my P&T b/c it's not great for twins) and now use the Select almost every day for my twins- and sometimes just one of them- it's an amazing stroller - so fast to go from single to double- which is nice when i have just one, etc.

    There are a few others that have a 2nd seat you can attach, that are similar to the Select, but are not full sized seats - and the seat is lower to the ground without a good view (more like the P&T second seat... but the benefit of the P&T is that it is an all-terrain)... the Britax BReady, and the Uppa Baby have a 2nd seat option - but again, they are very similar to the Select in style/use - but the 2nd seat isn't nearly as great as the Select b/c of placement and size, and functionality.

     

  • Hey! We simply converted our single jogging stroller to double stroller. This is how we did it: https://hubbard2010.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/convert-a-single-stroller-to-double-stroller/
  • Honestly I would get a stroller for your one child that suits you now and has everything you want. There's always new stuff coming out on the stroller market and by the time #2 is born and you are out and about, there will surely be newer and cooler things you would rather have.  Plus, your oldest may not even want to ride then.  

    If you can get a good price on a single now, you can always sell it when #2 comes along.  I sold my Uppababy Vista when #2 was born and got a very good amount of my money back on it.

  • Are you looking for a jogger? I have the uppababy vista and that converts but it's not a jogger. I'm undecided if I will use it as double though or buy the city mini double. I like the side by sides better.
