Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

A light double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly if you have children of different age groups. They are easy to fold, steer and transport up and down the steps.

This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also has adjustable reclining, UPF 50+ canopy, and windows that peek out. It also has a frame that expands in size to accommodate an additional car seat or another passenger.

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight Double Stroller for Twins: Gray Infant And Toddler pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are best suited for kids who can stand up without assistance because they tend to be lacking car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent options. They come with an recline adjustments for both seats, a huge canopy, and padded five-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to maneuver despite their larger footprints and are perfect for parents who are worried about fitting through doorways.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that expands widthways to add another seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It can also be used as a jogger, which is ideal for those who plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or a baby carrier.

Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which allows for even more customization through a modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating Hauck Duett 2 Double Pushchair - Black Reversible Compact carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It is a practical option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

Try the egg2 which folds down to the size and weight of a compact suitcase. It can be used as a double or single by adding 2 baby car seats or carrycots. Our home testers were impressed with the ease of move around, even with a full load of children.

Although they're light double pushchairs side-by-side are not foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could still fight about who sits in which position. If they are at different heights then a tandem style may be the best option for them, since it allows them to face each other.

Tandem

While side-by-side models are best suitable for siblings of similar age, tandem lightweight double strollers have their own charms. Some can accommodate carseats that are larger, and others come with Reversible seats. Some even come with an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are bigger and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than those found on buggies that are single. They also have larger big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for the parent and padding for the legs of children.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabric is a bit less Luxurious Black Lightweight Baby Jogger City Mini GT2 than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most striking things about it is its one-handed fold - although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab declared it to be "genius". It can't be folded without the carrycot attached, however, the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is simple and quick.

Tandem pushchairs that are lightweight generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more challenging to drive over uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slightly slower to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which could cause strain on your back.

A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially a single, but you can add adapters to convert it into a double. It can also have the option of a second seat, a carrycot or both in the front. Or the children can sit together. Some of them also have the option to add a buggy board, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings.

The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons at PS59 each. The cocoons create an open space for infants. They can be joined or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that was included with the pushchair, in the event that it is compatible with the. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made of high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value.

Single-to-Double

For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy transforms into a jogger with the help of an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a great choice for twins, or children of different age groups and as triple tandem, it can take on rough terrain. It's a great option for parents who want a stylish design as elegant as a single. It is available in a variety of colors.

This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with a single-handed system. And although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable - even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase additional accessories for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) that are perfect for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclining the seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat also having a reclining option.

The main drawback to this type of buggy is that it's generally larger overall than the side-by-side doubles which makes it more difficult to navigate through doorways and can be difficult to maneuver around kerbs. The wheels and suspension of these types of strollers tend to be able to deal with pavements. They're also lighter than many side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these strollers aren't as efficient in walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. Even though it's easier to turn the stroller around on a narrow, curving path, it can be a problem. Some are easier to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they can be adjusted to the changing needs of the family. They typically start as single buggies, and include adapters to add a second seat, a carrycot, or (in certain cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your child grows older and begins 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 carry up to 40lbs per child and has an integrated storage basket between the seats. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining chairs as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother and more comfortable riding on rough terrain were appreciated by home testers. It also comes with a convenient parent cup holder as well as an ample easy-to-access basket. However, they noticed that the seats' backs have pockets that aren't big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys.

This high-end, lightweight side-by-side is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also includes a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain and a compact fold that can stand on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks, and 10 inches back wheels with suspensions for more comfortable riding. The only downside is that you'll have to purchase an additional car seat or baby carrier.

This multi-functional tandem is a top choice among our home testers for its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many have praised the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board at the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including those that don't normally fit in other double buggies.
