It depends for what. Around my neighborhood, the Bugaboo Donkey. Great push, so many options, regarding bassinet, regular seat, forward facing, rear facing. Great basket.
I haven’t used it for in and out of the car though, so I can’t say regarding that.
I’ve also liked the City Mini GT. I would probably only put a child in here, over 6 months old. Also, great push! It’s held my kids even at 6 years old. I don’t love the basket access though. It’s also really heavy in and out of the car. But it’s a lot less expensive than the Bugaboo Donkey.

This works as a single also right? I’m looking at pictures online and I can’t tell if you can get the seat completely upright? Also does it push easily over cracks and bumps etc?

I have an uppababy vista, and I assumed when I had #2 if they were close in age I'd get the second seat, but I read all this stuff about how it's really a lousy double. So I got the Citi mini double second hand for pretty cheap, figuring I'd pass it on if it didn't work out, but I'm really very happy with it! It pushes well, reclines enough for infant (I do use an insert), and my 2 year old is comfy too.

So I really like the idea of having a solid good single that becomes a double and was really interested in getting the mockingbird which is very similar to the uppababy vista just much cheaper. I’m seeing similar reviews about it not pushing easily as a double (but great as a single) so not sure about it. I can try it out for 30 days and return technically...but that’s why I’m starting to look into other options.

There is an option to remove the second seat and replace it with extra storage space.
The seat doesn't go completely up right. (Does any stroller seat?)
Yes. It has a very smooth push. And great one handed stear and curb pop. Not great over grass/sand. Terrible over snow.

Gotcha. So modular strollers like uppababy vista for example have complete upright seats

Love the valco snap duo. Great push, huge canopies, option to attach a bassinet or carseat for a newborn.

City mini gt is really great, I have the single. But in the double, it is SOOO WIDE!! For me a priority was being able to still fit thru places, so I got the mountain buggy and BH it's great.

Ok, we live in Lakewood, so that doesn't matter. I guess it depends where you live! It seems to be very easy to open and shut for in and out of the car. And it's a dream to wheel.

I find the City Mini GT great for walking- but a huge pain in and out of the car. Very heavy. Very annoying. I hurt myself every time!

I like the original Mountain Buggy , not duet. Not as narrow and strong like a truck.
