Summary
Wirecutter's top tandem pick for parents who want a no-wider-than-a-single-stroller double without spending $1,000+. Easy to push and fold, making it one of the most practical budget doubles tested.
The most versatile modular stroller that grows with your family — starts as a single and expands to a full double with a second seat. Wirecutter's upgrade tandem pick with a premium push feel.
Pros
- No wider than a single stroller — fits through standard doorways
- Easy one-bar fold with built-in carry handle
- One of the easiest to push among non-jogging doubles tested
- More affordable than premium tandem options
- Converts from single to double without buying a new stroller
- Multiple seating configurations including bassinet + seat
- Narrower than side-by-side doubles for easier navigation
- Strong brand ecosystem with car seat compatibility
Cons
- Heavy and large when folded despite easy fold mechanism
- Bench seat for older child is less comfortable than a full seat
- Fewer configuration options than modular competitors
- Expensive upfront, and second seat is an additional cost
- Heavy when fully configured as a double
- Longer than single strollers, can be tricky in tight spaces
Our take
The BravoFor2 punches well above its price — Wirecutter tested it against the field and it came out on top for ease of use, which matters more than specs when you're wrangling two kids.
The Vista V3 is the smartest long-term investment if you're planning a second child — you buy it for baby #1 and simply add a seat rather than buying a whole new stroller.
