Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around with the lightweight double pushchair particularly if you have children with different age groups. They are generally easy to fold, steer and carry up and down stairs. This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also comes with an expanding frame size to accommodate a second car seat or an additional passenger. Side-by-Side The majority of the light double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit up without assistance, as they tend to lack compatibility with car seats. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have adjustable recline for both seats, a big canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doors. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add a second seat, making it smaller than the majority of other pushchairs that are side-by-side available. It is able to pass through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it with an infant car seat or baby carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It offers additional flexibility due to a modular frame. The clever design allows the conversion of a double or single buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's an outstandingly practical choice for families that are growing and the UPPAbaby is among the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available. Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers loved how simple and sleek it was to use even when stuffed with children. Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverIf your children are at the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who gets to ride in which seat. And if they're different heights, a tandem model could be better for them, as it will allow them to face each other. Tandem While side-byside models are more suited to siblings with similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others have reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are more spacious, and easier to get in and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions. The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that provides excellent value. The fabrics are less luxurious than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is the one-handed fold. While it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's “genius”. It's not foldable without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast. Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models, however they are more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slightly slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which could put stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It starts out as an individual but you can also add adapters to convert it into double. They can have the option of a second seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Or the children can share a seat. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a excellent example of a convertible, since it can be converted into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for infants. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair in the event that it is compatible with the. Since they are made of high-quality materials, these dual-use buggies can often be used for many years without showing any wear, indicating they have the highest potential for resale. Single-to-Double This compact double buggy is designed for families who love the outdoors and would like to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel suspension. It is also a good choice for twins, or children of different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's a great choice for parents who want a sleek design as sleek as a single and comes in different fabric colours. We loved the way this iCandy model folds into itself with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but home tester Karolina says it's very maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and the carrycot. You can buy add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) that are ideal for infants. The seats are comfortable for toddlers, with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are numerous options to recline the seats, with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat also having an option to recline. The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side and makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and is difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these models are generally good at coping with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that strollers of this type aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can still be a hassle. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies and include adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain cases) a car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single when your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board. This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40 pounds per child, and includes an extra storage basket in between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspension for smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were well-loved by home testers. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to-access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have small pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a phone and keys. This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes a handlebar with a high-profile design for easier steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you will need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier. This multi-functional tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its maneuverability and large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. It is a breeze to maneuver thanks to its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs). Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes a few that aren't normally compatible with other double buggies.
