The Newborn Pack and bassinet can be used from birth as an infant stroller. It can also be converted into a stroller at 6 months with the YOYO connect additional chassis.
2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a great choice for parents who are looking for a stroller that can be used in a variety of ways. It transforms from a stroller to a wagon by simply turning the handle, meaning parents can pick the mode they prefer for their adventure. The wagon is able to accommodate two or three children ranging from 6 months to 5 years old. It comes with a large storage basket that can hold all your necessities on the go.
The Xplore has dual canopies which can rotate from front to back, offering adequate sun protection for the entire family. It has a smaller footwell than other wagons. This isn't suitable for long journeys or naps.
The frame of the Xplore feels solid and sturdy however it doesn't have as much flexibility as other wagons we have tested. It is also more difficult than other wagons to fold and does not lock tightly once folded. It is easy to move, however, and fits through narrow doors of 28 inches.
3. Delta Children LX Side-by-Side
This basic double stroller from Delta Children is an excellent option for parents who want a budget-friendly secondary travel stroller. It scored a dazzling score in our Strollers and Multiples test for weight and fold size that means it's lightweight, small when collapsed and easy to move into a car trunk or closet. It also has the option of reclining in multiple positions and an adult cup holder. Other features worth mentioning include two large hanging storage bags and 360-degree front wheels that absorb shock.
In our push and turn test, it did better than most of the other cheap strollers we tested, but it's still not the most maneuverable on uneven terrain or through narrow doors. Its sunshades were among the smallest strollers we test. They only cover the top and don't have windows that peek out. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 and Zoe Twin+ have significantly larger sunshades.
It took us under 3 minutes to put together the Delta with a standard manual. All of the components required tools. It's missing certain features we consider essential for double strollers. These include an extra-large basket, reclining seats and leg rests that can be adjusted.
4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1

The seat reclines with one hand and the large shopping basket makes it easy for parents to get their child in and out. Although it is a narrow pushchair it handled the everyday bumps with ease and slid through doors without a hitch.
The front wheels can be locked into forward positions or allow them to swivel which can be helpful when crossing rough terrain. We let the front wheels to rotate during our walk on the stony path. It handled the situation well, although it seemed to be a bit more bumpy.
