Which lightweight double pushchair (click this site) Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a lightweight double pushchair, especially if you have kids of varying age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down steps.

This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom, adjustable reclining and massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with an expanding frame the width to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of the light double pushchairs we tested were side-by-side models. These are the best for children who can sit up without assistance, since they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. However, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both top choices that have adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also easy to maneuver despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to add an additional child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal when you are planning to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to transform it into a single buggy or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for growing families, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the lightest and most stylish umbrella strollers on the market.

Try the egg2, which can be folded down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our home testers were amazed by the ease of move around, even with a full load of children.

Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof, though -when your children are of the same age or stage they might be fighting over who is allowed to ride in which seat. And if they're at different heights it could be that a tandem design might be better for them, as it lets them face each other.

Tandem

While side-byside models might be more appropriate for siblings who are the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. They can take a bigger car seat, and some even have convertible seats or an additional carrycot in the middle. They tend to be more spacious and easier to get in and out of the baskets, though they tend to be smaller than those on single buggies. Many have larger canopies with windows that peek out and padding for the leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach tandem is another excellent example of a light tandem that is a excellent value. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks stunning and is easy to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". The carrycot is not foldable while it is attached. However, the mechanism to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy.

Tandem lightweight double pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-by-side models but they can be more difficult to drive on bumps and uneven surfaces. They are also slower to accelerate and are heavier to move. This puts strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is a different alternative. It's initially an individual but you can also add adapters to convert it into a double. It can have a second seat or carrycot in front, or the children can be seated side-by-side. Some of them also have the option of incorporating a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 is a great example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be attached together or placed in a row. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, if it is compatible with the. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they come with an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double pram buggy buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to a nifty kit that includes air-filled tyres, as well as all-wheel suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple is ideal for twins or children of various age groups. It's also a great choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabrics.

This iCandy model is easy to fold with the use of a single hand. It's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's maneuverable even with two toddlers inside and a carrycot.

You can purchase add-ons such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. The seats are comfortable for toddlers with high-quality headrests and lumbar supports. There are plenty of options for reclining, with the front seat adjusting to various positions, and the rear seat having the option to recline.

The biggest drawback of this kind of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles, which makes it harder to get through doorways and is difficult to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally able to cope with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-bysides and, therefore, you can have plenty of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry a large amount. It's a little easier to turn around on the smallest curves of paths however, even this can be a challenge. Some are easier to turn than other models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are fantastic because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of a family. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single buggie when your child gets older and starts to walk more or wants to ride on buggy boards.

This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest on our list. It can support up to 40lbs per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were praised by the home testers. It also comes with an easy-to-use cup holder for parents as well as an enormous, easily accessible basket. The backs of the bags have small pockets which are only large enough to hold a phone and a set of keys.

This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive set of features includes a high-profile handlebar for easier steering; front and rear suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps for easy schlepping; and seven-inch swivel 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 versatile tandem is a popular choice by our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which can be accessed with both seats facing the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Reversible seats mean you can flip them to face either way, and the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seats from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
