Brief Background on the Mockingbird Brand
If you haven’t heard of Mockingbird it’s because they are a relatively new stroller company. In 2019 they released their single stroller and in 2020 they released their double stroller. They aren’t sold in stores (except now Target), as they are mostly a “direct-to-consumer” brand. Partly thanks to this model, Mockingbird is able to provide high quality products at very affordable prices.
The Mockingbird double stroller can be used as a single stroller and the seat is reversible with multiple levels on incline. If you buy the 2nd Seat Kit, you can convert the stroller to a double. The second seat is also reversible.
Both seats have a 45 pound weight capacity.
Mockingbird Double Stroller Price
To buy the Mockingbird double stroller, you have to buy both the Single-to-Double Stroller as well as the 2nd Seat Kit.
The price of Mockingbird’s Single-to-Double Stroller is $450 and the price of the 2nd Seat Kit is $145. This brings the total for the Mockingbird double stroller to $595. Mockingbird strollers never go on sale but there there is a way to save a little bit of money and get the best price shopping at Target. To learn more,click here.
With the Mockingbird double stroller (both the Single-to Double Stroller as well as the 2nd Seat Kit), you can choose the exterior color of the canopy (Black, Sky, Sea, Sage or Bloom), the interior of the canopy (Windowpane or Watercolor Drops) and the frame/leather combination (Silver Frame/Penny Leather, Silver Frame/Black Leather). Here’s some of the combinations available on the Mockingbird double stroller.
What's Included with the Mockingbird Double Stroller?
When you buy the Mockingbird Single-to-Double stroller, you are only getting the single stroller. In order to convert it to a double, you have to buy the 2nd Seat Kit.
Here is a complete list of what’s included with the Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller:
The2nd Seat Kitallows you to convert the stroller to a double. To do this, you have to move up the seat (using the upper adapters), then attach the 2nd seat using the lower adapters.
Mockingbird Double Stroller Accessories
You can also use the Mockingbird Bassinet or attach certain car seats in lieu of using the included stroller seats.
Here is the Mockingbird double stroller with the Bassinet. The Mockingbird Bassinet clicks into the stroller and allows for infants to lay completely flat. It can be faced in either direction- forward facing or rear facing towards the parent. The Bassinet features two mesh peek-a-boo windows which also allow for air flow. The price of the Mockingbird Bassinet is $140. The base of the Bassinet is black but you can select the color of the canopy (same color options as the stroller). The Bassinet also features a black and white pattern on the inside of the canopy (great visual stimulation!) and a removable/washable mattress cover.
Mockingbird does not recommend the use of 2 Bassinets on the double stroller. Instead, for twins, they recommend using their infant inserts. The infant seat insert allows the Mockingbird stroller to be used from ages 0 to 6 months. It consists of 3 pieces – a head rest, a wedge and a liner. The infant insert provides head support and stability for young babies. Additionally, the infant insert (specifically the wedge piece) allows the baby to lay completely flat in the stroller. The price of the Mockingbird Infant Seat Insert is $35.
Here’s what the set up looks like for two infants using the infant inserts:
The Mockingbird Bassinet can also be paired with the Mockingbird Bassinet Stand. The Bassinet Stand now allows for sleep safe use of the Bassinet. You can use the Bassinet bed-side at night, then easily move the Bassinet and Bassinet Stand around the house for a safe, portable, place for naps throughout the day. We love being able to move it easily from room to room, and up and down the stairs (of course, not with the baby in it).
The Mockingbird Bassinet and Bassinet Stand combo really shines if you plan on doing any traveling. This makes traveling with baby so much easier. If staying in a hotel, you just have to bring along the Bassinet stand, along with your stroller (with the Bassinet attachment). The Bassinet Stand is much more compact than a travel bassinet, travel bed or pack-n-play, that you would have to bring otherwise.

Mockingbird Double Stroller Review - Final Thoughts
We are very impressed with Mockingbird’s latest stroller! Similar to how Mockingbird’s single stroller rivals the UPPAbaby Cruz V2 at almost half the price at $395, the double stroller does the same with the UPPAbaby Vista V2!
