Convertible
Many families prefer convertible single strollers since they can be used as a single stroller and then converted to a double stroller if required.

This is a great choice for parents who are looking for a stroller with multiple functions that will grow with their child.
Convertible strollers offer more features than traditional single and double strollers. They usually have adjustable handlebars that can be adjusted to suit the preference of parents or caregivers. There are a variety of seating options available, including seats that are rearward-facing as well as a forward-facing one. Some can even accommodate a bassinet or car seat. In addition to these features they also have a bigger canopy, more storage space and more weight capacity than other types of strollers.

For instance certain models need to be removed and then reinstalled after each transformation. Some models require tools, which can be frustrating for a mom who is new. Some also have a hard time navigating tight spaces.
Some parents have found that their convertible strollers are difficult to push when it is cold or wet. Additionally, some have noticed that their wheels become stuck, which can be annoying. In these instances, WD40 can help get them free of their stuck position.
