I can’t tell you how much of a blessing this video was to find. My husband and I thought we were one and done for so long that we only purchased items for one child. Well late last year he felt God was placing baby fever upon his heart. So we decided to try and add to our family. I have been to stressed trying to find items for two kiddos that won’t break the bank and this video was so helpful. You even taking the time to record in the snow! Such a blessing! Thank you thank you
I'm 31 weeks with my first baby and I've been SO overwhelmed trying to choose a stroller + car seat / travel system? that isn't like $1500 but is still good quality, durable, and can grow with my family. TYSM for this video, I feel like you calmed me down and helped me settle on my choice. Definitely going with the Mockingbird, thank you!! Off to look and see if you have a car seat video
I just binged all of your videos over the past month! So happy to be caught up. We don't have any kids yet but we're hoping to be blessed soon and I've really appreciated your channel! Thank you for all the work your put into these videos! They are so helpful!
I think it's great so many mom youtubers are reviewing the mockingbird. It really is such an aesthetically pleasing and affordable option for parents, even though it didn't work out for me. My review of the single stroller was the first video on my channel that got any substantial traction. I ended up returning mine because I really needed a telescopic handle bar. I didnt like how their handlebar required me to step closer into the stroller to have a comfortable arm position. My feet were constantly hitting that bar between the back wheels while I walked. I've never heard anyone else mention this feature though, so I that's why it's good to have a variety of reviews on youtube.
Oh wow, super interesting if that was an issue for you, that never happened to me before. But yes definitely that is why it is helpful to watch multiple reviews! Hoping you found another stroller that works better for you!
Nicole thank you sooo much for this video. One thing I love love love about this channel is that you actually LISTEN to your followers and it shows. Thanks for the review, I'll be purchasing, I think this would work great for our 2 month and 22 month old. God bless you and your family.
@@karensolis5669so far it’s been great! We have been going to parks every single day. I take the skateboard the most and get like 20 comments on it per day 😂 the wheels are legit skateboard wheels
Thank you! I have been researching during my TTC journey and a lot of the higher price point strollers they seem to be aesthetics over function. Seems like the mockingbird is a better balance of both. Thank you for your videos!
Wow. Glad I watched this! I purchased the stroller a few weeks ago but I'm not using it until our third baby arrives. We will be using for the baby and our toddler. This was very informative and honest! Overall I think this will work for us and where we live/what we're using it for. Thank you ❤️
I hate my mockingbird. It was the biggest bust purchase. It worked ok with my first born but we bought the second seat kit for my second and it it so hard to push and it can’t go over small sidewalk bumps in chicago. I ordered my second kit when i was 5 months pregnant and I can’t return it because it was delivered more than 30 days ago. I guess I should have waited to order it until 30 days before my due date but I wanted to get it checked off my list. I honestly am so irritated with what a waste it is. I can’t even resell it because of the recall and none of the consignment shops will take it. I am so confused how it go so many positive reviews for people who have two kids.
Ahhh so sorry your experience was so bad! I will say bumpy Chicago sidewalks are NOT GOOD with this stroller. But now that I’m in the suburbs and smooth sidewalks it’s a whole other ball game. I’m still using my double WITH the third scooter attachment and overall still worth it for me! I wish everyone had a great experience but unfortunately that’s not the case.
I’m from Australia so I don’t have or won’t purchase this pram BUT I used the bassinet for my now 4MO as we didn’t have a capsule just a 0-4 year car seat. I loved the bassinet for my pram as it’s so good for naps while out and about or if they fall asleep in a walk you can just pop the pram in their room without needing to transfer and there’s no hassle of taking a car seat out of the car and buckling baby in just for a walk. My plan with baby #2 will be to get a capsule as it will be easier out and about but still use the bassinet for those tough naps and walks
has anyone else noticed the little pocket behind the seat?! we’ve had our mockingbird for 2 years now & my husband just noticed it! it’s the perfect little slot to hold your phone!
@@Nicolelelagreen Omg yes! I put my phone there in the pocket with baby music so my little guy has music while he relaxes. Or rain sounds/white noise for naps!
We got a single stroller because it was less expensive, but I wish we had gotten a double. Now were going to have to get a new stroller and in the long run spend way more money
Honestly looking back I didn’t even cross my mind to get a double stroller at the time. I’m sure it’s some thing a lot of new moms don’t even consider and that’s why I’m hoping this will help somebody out there before hand
Hi, I'd like know what the car seat you are using in the video is, because it seems like a basinet but I think it is a car seat that you can recline. Is it true? Thanks
Could you do a review of the babybay?!? so glad to have found another mom who uses it, but still apprehensive about purchasing it and would love your thoughts on it!
I probably won’t do a dedicated review on it because I’ve talked about it and multiple other videos but if you’re asking for an update I seriously love the thing and I’m also going to be converting it to a full size soon so I’m sure that will be in an upcoming vlog as well!
Hi! I didn’t hear you mention this in the review, but do the wheels squeak a lot if at all?? My previous stroller has this issue and I’m trying to get away from that ☺️
Hi! I made the same mistake and didn't plan for a double stroller knowing we'd wanted a 2nd child lol. I've been debating this stroller and I'm wondering how you feel about it after a year? Does your pros/cons list still hold up? I appreciate you addressed the minor issue of needing to lift the front seat to click in the car seat- a mom at my OB said she didn't like it bc it didn't fit and I got worried but your video makes it seem like its not that bad and I could handle it. Have you had any other spacing issues having the 2nd seat kit installed and wanting to recline one for the infant?
Yeah most inline/tandem type double strollers are going to be noticeably harder to push once you add the second seat. A side by side double stroller like the Bugaboo donkey or the Baby Jogger side by side double will be easier to push; Or you could also try the double strollers that have the kids over each other (like the Nuna Demi Grow); The Demi Grow pushes better but you sacrifice basket space. Happy hunting!
We didn’t like this stroller unfortunately. I wanted to love it but with the car seat and toddler seat it felt extremely unsteady & like it was going to tip over on our neighborhood walks. I felt like I was fighting to keep it upright. Definitely keep in mind where / how you plan on using any inline double stroller. I will say mockingbird customer service was absolutely amazing and responsive! I wish we would have invested in the bugaboo donkey when we had our first child.
@@Nicolelelagreen this was a couple years ago but from memory they said something along the lines of assuring me that they design their strollers with safety in mind of course but understood my concerns and allowed me to return the stroller & all extra parts (car seat adapter & 2nd seat kit) for a refund.
@@nikkinikole7610 Their customer service is amaze balls! That’s definitely a reason I trust the company because they love to help and solve any issues that may arise. May I ask what are you using now for strolls?
@@relrel101 as of now we have the double Bob stroller and LOVE it for our neighborhood/ trail walks. But we just had baby #3 which makes for 3 kiddos 3 and under so we’re looking in to getting a stroller wagon, specifically the wonderfold w4.
For rougher paths, it made not be the best because its quite compact. But for easy smoother surfaces I think it works well! I've also only had it for a short time since it just launched so I haven't been able to test it longer term yet...

Had one that was recalled. The company was so nice and sent the repair gift immediately.
FTM and twin mom here🙋🏾♀️ We LOVE this stroller! It’s amazing! It’s super agile and so easy.

Super helpful! I knew this is the stroller I wanted. My sister has it. I just actually received mine in the mail yesterday! 🥳
Glad it was helpful! Hope you love it!
Have you tried the Mockingbird? What was YOUR experience with it? Leave a comment to help some mamas out!
🇷🇴🇷🇴💙💛❤
Okayyyy you ate with the snow tracks clip! Really clear representation of how the wheels reacted to the terrain! Subscribed!!! 💕
Thanks for the sub!
great comments! thank you!
I love my double mockingbird. I've used it multiple times a day for 6 months now and it is good as new. :)
Good to hear!
I’m obsessed with my mockingbird! Just ordered the second seat kit and the new green canopy ❤ it’s held up so well using it every day for 2 years
Have you experienced any issues with hills, sidewalk cracks, etc?
How has it been with adding the second seat kit?

Look into Baby jogger city select lux. It’s discontinued and is on sale on Amazon. I went with that one

This was a great, helpful review!! Lots to consider and think about.
I have no interest in buying a new stroller but I’m still here watching because I never miss a video ❤️
Ha ha thanks Hannah you’re the best!
My small 3 year old rides in the basket sometimes when we're going on long walks with sister and his legs tire.
You are not alone… I am here with you! Lol

"on the street, on the ground, trying to get the stroller" Just funny imagining it 🤣

Great point! I saw in their reviews that a lot of other moms were using this for the same purpose and loved it for that reason. Thanks for sharing!
great review ordering it!
has anyone else noticed the little pocket behind the seat?! we’ve had our mockingbird for 2 years now & my husband just noticed it! it’s the perfect little slot to hold your phone!
Wait, no! LOL im totally gonna start using!
@@Nicolelelagreen Omg yes! I put my phone there in the pocket with baby music so my little guy has music while he relaxes. Or rain sounds/white noise for naps!
Yes mine also does the same thing when I want to attached the car seat on top
I don’t have any kids yet but this is the one that I will get. Lol I’m already doing research! Hopefully next year 💛🥰
My sister and brother in law has this stroller and it is amazingggggggggggg
oo0o0o0o so glad they like it!

Did you need to buy the second kit in order to use it for both toddler seat and infant stroller?
Could you do a review of the babybay?!?

Hi! I didn’t hear you mention this in the review, but do the wheels squeak a lot if at all?? My previous stroller has this issue and I’m trying to get away from that ☺️
So it’s sold as a single to double but you still have to purchase the extra seat separately or does it come with both seats & adapter ?
I did not know about the break. How do you handle the lock? It is such a pain.

Can I do two car seats for twins
My kids are 18 months apart and we have it. I find it extremely heavy and hard to push with two. There’s gotta be better options.

Do you find that it makes a lot of noise when you push it along over small bumps etc? Or is it pretty quiet
There was a book you recommended to us in one of your recent videos but I can't remember the name of it! Similar to "becoming mama" but thats not it
how tall are you? I am highly considering this stroller but i am 5"11 and im afraid since the handle doesnt extend it may be too short for me
Oooooooooh you need to put the break on?😅 I didn’t know either
Haha that makes two of us 😂
Would this one be good for a 3yr old and newborn
which infant car seat graco do you have?
Does anyone know if the double seat set up will fit in the back of a rav 4 ?
Wow you are so so cool💕🤩
What about Cybex double stroller? Anyone used it? Cheers 😊
I’m looking for a double stroller with a riding board. But this one seems a bit flimsy. Thoughts?
For rougher paths, it made not be the best because its quite compact. But for easy smoother surfaces I think it works well! I've also only had it for a short time since it just launched so I haven't been able to test it longer term yet...
@@Nicolelelagreen Thanks for the info!
Ive been thinking anout what double stroller to get this came at t he perfext tome lol
Awesome!! Hope it helps!
This came at the perfect time ‘ gosh I cant text today lol
Did you consider the Cybex Gazelle S? I'm expecting and looking to purchase a single to double stroller.
I purchased one for my twins. So far it is working very well.
be careful to buy the single to double stroller! don’t buy just the single, this one doesn’t have the second seat capability
