Hauck Duett 2

Hauck Duett 2 is one of the more practical ways to solve the baby-and-toddler problem without jumping straight to a much larger premium sibling stroller. The upper seat converting from carrycot to reversible seat, plus the removable lower seat, gives it more real family flexibility than a simpler side-by-side double that only does one job well.

The tradeoff is that this is still a more utilitarian tandem than the smoother, more premium modular doubles higher up the market. But if the goal is a credible sibling setup with sensible everyday packaging rather than the plushest feel, Duett 2 is easy to defend.
