Babies, man. They collect mounds of stuff before they even make an appearance. If you’re like me, you’ve experienced the internal tug-of-war over just how much to spend on the necessities—namely, a stroller.
Investing in an expandable double stroller when you're only expecting one child might seem premature—but consider for a moment that your future self might thank you later. I’ve known more than a few parents who had to make a stroller upgrade after having multiple kids because their initial selection was meek.
Regardless of what stage of parenting you’re in, allow me to introduce you to a stroller I’ve never thought twice about: the Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller 2.0.
In a moment you’ll understand why this stroller is the optimal choice for families of any size. Read on for my honest review of the Mockingbird Stroller 2.0!
Your kid’s (tricked-out, comfiest-ever) chariot awaits
Let's talk comfort. The Mockingbird stroller has always been renowned for its smooth ride, thanks to its all-wheel suspension and shock-absorbing, never-flat tires (which never deflate thanks to a design that doesn’t require air).
With the latest 2.0 model, Mockingbird has taken this tried-and-true parent favorite to a whole new level. As a mom who has traversed lots of terrain with my little one in tow—like the gravel parking lot at our local park and the surprisingly high curb at the closest grocery store—I can attest to the unparalleled smoothness of this ride.
And let's not forget the spacious storage basket, capable of holding up to 25 lbs. It may seem ridiculously roomy, but—I promise—you’re going to fill every inch of it.
It grows with your child and your family
If you’re the parent of one little peanut, let’s start with the kid you have in front of you. Maybe they’re on the lowest shoulder strap setting and their feet barely reach the edge of the seat. Soon you’ll find yourself finagling, rethreading, and likely cursing your way through adjusting the straps to the next height setting—unless you’re working with the Mockingbird Stroller 2.0!
The new straps on the Mockingbird Stroller 2.0 adjust with a simple pull, which means you won’t have to multitask distracting your kid from fussing while you’re heading out the door.
If you have multiples or expect more in the future, the 2.0 Stroller is designed with versatility in mind. With its modular design, you can easily add a second seat or a riding board, accommodating up to three children safely (all while keeping them comfy instead of, like, piled on).
The Single-to-Double Stroller itself costs $450; the 2nd Seat Kit costs $145 and the Riding Board is $95. Each can be bought separately so you can expand as needed. If you’re not sure what lies ahead for your fam, you’re still getting an amazing value using it as a single stroller long-term.
Stroll the day away, safe from the sun
It’s 2024—we’ve been educated, and there’s not a parent out there who doesn’t understand the need for sun protection.
I love the enhanced sun coverage offered by the Mockingbird Stroller 2.0. The extended canopy now features a hidden pop-out visor in the front, providing extra UPF 50+ protection.
While there’s no replacement for a good sunscreen, this extra protection gives me peace of mind every time I’m out with my kids on a sunny day. Also—no need to risk overheating by layering a swaddle over the canopy for extra shade! The Mockingbird Stroller 2.0 has us covered.
Customizable, as always—now with easier unfolding
The Mockingbird Stroller comes in a range of great colors to suit your style. You can choose your frame and canopy color from five fun shades, and select one of two developmentally supportive patterns for under the canopy.
This latest model also boasts redesigned features for effortless folding and unfolding in the form of a new, safe, and intuitive spring-loaded unlocking and unfolding mechanism. The one-handed fold is easier than ever, meaning I’m out on walks with my family faster!
