Parents with fewer children could choose a single-to-double-stroller that is simpler and less expensive. These frames are typically lighter in weight, and some moms have even told us they're still using their original stroller years after their children outgrew it.

Another great feature of a few of the tiniest double strollers we've tested is the compact fold. They can fit in spaces that larger strollers can't and are generally easier to maneuver once folded.
