Convertible

There are a variety of options for adding a second seat or converting a single stroller to a double. The UPPAbaby V2 is a spacious, gorgeous stroller. It can easily be converted from a single to a dual by adding a Rumble seat. It is more expensive and less maneuverable since the second seat is placed behind the first seat. The Nuna Demi Grow is a comparable model with great seating flexibility, however it does not have storage under the seat when used in doubles mode.

It has a footprint that is similar to a single stroller however it can accommodate two seats and car seat adaptors.

Tandem pushchairs seat one child in the front of the other, so they're often a better choice when you have two children who are similar in age to function well together. They're not 100% secure.
