1. Babyzen YOYO2

The latest version has independent suspension on all four wheels comprised of Hytrel elastomer, which allows it to 'perfectly navigate all terrains and types'.

It can be used as a pram from birth using the Newborn Pack or bassinet, or converted to stroller at 6 months old by clicking on the YOYO Connect additional chassis.
2. Evenflo Pivot Xplore
The Evenflo Pivot Xplore is a great option for parents who want a stroller that can be used in a variety of ways. The Evenflo Pivot Xplore can be converted from a stroller into an actual wagon by flipping the handle. Parents can then decide which mode is best for their needs. The wagon can accommodate one or two children from 6 months up to 5 years old, and it comes with a large storage basket that can accommodate everything you require on the go.
The Xplore comes with two canopy options that rotate from front-to-back, providing adequate sun protection for the entire family. It has a smaller footprint than some wagons. This may not be ideal for long drives or napping.
The frame of the Xplore feels solid and sturdy but it doesn't have the same flex as some of the other wagons we tested. It is also more difficult to fold than some of the competition, and it does not lock tightly when folded. It is easy to move, though, and it can fit through narrow 28-inch doors.
3. Delta Children LX Side-by-Side
This Delta Children bare-bones travel stroller is a great choice for parents looking for a second stroller that's affordable. single stroller pushchair Pushchairs And Prams scored highly in our Strollers & Multiples Test for its weight and folded dimensions, meaning it is lightweight, compact when folded, and easy to lift and store in a trunk of a car. It also has a multi-position reclining seat and an adult cup holder. Other important features include two large storage bags that hang from the ceiling and 360-degree front wheels that absorb shock.
In our test of the push and turn it performed better than most of the other cheap strollers we tried, but it's not the most comfortable to maneuver over uneven ground or through narrow doorways. The sunshades on it were among the smallest of all 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 larger canopy sizes.
The Delta took us just over 3 minutes to put together with an average manual and all of the components required tools. It's missing certain features we consider essential for a double stroller. They include a large basket, reclining seats, and leg rests that can be adjusted.
4. Maxi-Cosi Zelia 2-in-1

It is really easy to maneuver, and the one-hand reclining of the seat as well as the massive shopping basket make it simple for parents to get their child in and out quickly. Despite this being quite a small pushchair, it was able to handle the everyday bumps with ease and slid through doors without fuss.
The front wheels can to be locked in a forward direction and can also swivel. This is useful in rough terrain. When we walked along the stony path we allowed them to swivel and it did this quite well, although it seemed slightly bumpier than other models on test.
