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 easy to fold, steer and transport up and over steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopies and windows that peek out. It also has an expanding frame width to accommodate the second car seat or an additional passenger.

Side-by-Side

Most of the lightweight double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They have recline that can be adjusted for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are great for parents who are worried about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to add another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. This means it can fit through standard doors and is easy to move around on public transport. It is also a jogger, which is ideal if you 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 an even greater degree of customization due to a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to turn it into a single buggy or a double with the addition of 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even accommodate twins). It's a great option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, most fashionable and fashionable strollers you can find.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single or double with the addition of 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to carry even when stuffed with kids.

Double pushchairs with side-by-side seating aren't 100% foolproof, howeverwhen your children are the same age or at the same stage, they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. If they're at different heights, then a tandem style may be ideal for them as it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight double stroller (new content from kinglish.com), and are a different kind of pushchair with their own appeal. Some can accommodate a larger car seat and others come with Reversible seats. Others even have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easier to get in and out of the baskets, though they are typically smaller than the ones on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even cushioned leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers an excellent value. The fabric is a little less premium than some of our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is user-friendly. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold - although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's "genius". It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and quick.

Tandem lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they may be harder to drive on uneven surfaces or curbs. They can also be slow to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

Another option is a convertible double buggy, that starts out as an individual and then you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could have a second seat, carrycot, or both in the front. Or the children can share a seat. Some can also consider including a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep up with a younger brother or sister.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized pushchair by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an area that is flat for newborns. They can be placed side by side or attached to one another, and you can use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that is included with the pushchair (as long as you choose an appropriate one). Since they are made of high-quality materials, these kinds of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without displaying much wear, meaning they have the highest potential for resale.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who want to upgrade from an individual-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with a kit that includes air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is ideal for twins or children of various age groups. It's a great option for parents who want a chic design as elegant as a single. It comes in various colors of fabric.

We loved the way that this iCandy model folds up using a single-hand mechanism that's really simple to master. Although it's heavier than some of the other pushchairs that are single-to-double in this review, home tester Karolina stated that it feels extremely maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside.

The seat can be used parent-facing, and you can also buy add-ons for lightweight double stroller this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each), which are ideal for babies. Our test panel found the seats to be comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats with the front seat can be adjusted to different positions, and the back seat offering an option to recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it is generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to maneuver around kerbs. However the suspension and wheels on these types of strollers generally do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still have a decent amount of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in navigating narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a lot of shopping. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths, but even this can be a challenge. Some are also more easy to turn than others, with the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance.

Convertible

The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family needs. Often, they start as single buggies. They have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or carrycot, or (in some instances) a car-seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on a buggy board.

One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It also has a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats for storage. The home testers loved the large canopy with windows that peek out, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent, and an ample accessible, easily accessible basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets which are only sufficient to hold the phone and keys.

This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 models. It also comes with a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact double stroller fold that has straps for easy schlepping and seven-inch swing lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll need to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a popular choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible with both seats in the parent-facing position. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to move. The seats are reversible, which means that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way that it connects a second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also loved the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from multiple brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
