Best for a growing family
Bugaboo Donkey 6 (single, converts to double)
Great if you have one baby now and plan on a second soon. It grows from a single to a double.
Check price on AmazonWho it's for
- Good for big shopping trips. The basket is one of the biggest here.
Who should skip it
- Not for you if you're on a tight budget. It's one of the priciest here.
- Skip it if you lift your stroller a lot. It's heavy.

Great if you want a stroller that grows from one kid to two, without a big price tag.
Check price on AmazonWho it's for
- Works from day one in lay-flat mode.
- Handy if you use an Evenflo infant car seat, since some click right in.

How they stack up
How long can you use each one?
