Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A light double pushchair is easy to get around, particularly if you have children of various ages. They are easy to fold, steer and carry up and over stairs. This City Mini GT2 features side-by-side seating with plenty of legroom. It also features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also has a clever frame that can expand in width to accommodate a second car seat, and also a compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side Most of the lightweight double pushchairs that we tested were side-by-side models. They are ideal for children who can stand up without assistance, as they lack car seat compatibility. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a wide canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to maneuver, despite their larger footprint. They are perfect for parents who worry about getting through doors. The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it features a unique frame that expands to allow for a second child seat. This makes it slimmer than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating. This means it fits through standard doors and is easy to maneuver on public transport. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it in conjunction with an infant carrier or car seat. It's available in a range of fun colors. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another great side-by-side, lightweight double. It offers even more customization thanks to the modular frame. It features a clever design that lets you turn it into a single buggy or a double by adding two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's a fantastic and practical choice for families that are growing, and the UPPAbaby also is one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers available. If you prefer a more compact lightweight double, try the egg2 that folds down to the size of a small suitcase. It can be used as a single or a double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats and our home testers were awed by how simple and sleek it was to use, even when fully loaded with kids. Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs side-by-side do not guarantee safety. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still fight about who sits in which seat. If they are at different heights, the tandem model could be ideal for them as it allows them to face each other. Tandem While side-by-side models may be more appropriate for siblings of the same age, tandem lightweight double pushchairs offer their own perks. Some can fit a larger car seat and others come with Reversible seats. Some even come with an extra carrycot or a reversible seat in the middle. They are generally more spacious and easy to move into and out of however their baskets tend to be smaller than those of single buggies. Many feature larger canopies as well as peekaboo windows, and even cushioned leg cushions. The iCandy Peach tandem is another great example of a lightweight tandem that offers excellent value. Its fabric feels a bit less expensive than our other top-rated doubles, but it looks and feels great and is very user-friendly. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. Even though it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab described it as “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 lightweight double strollers will generally have a more precise turning compared to side-byside models. However, they could be harder to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also a little slower to pick up speed and may be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is another alternative. It's initially a single however, you can add adapters to convert it into a double. They can have an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in front. Children can be seated together. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep pace with a younger brother or sister. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible, because it can also be converted into a twin pram with the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat area for infants. They can be swiveled together or placed on top of each other. You can also use the car seat that came with the pushchair when it's compatible with the. These buggies with dual-use capabilities are made from high-quality materials that can be used for many years without showing any wear. This means that they have an excellent resale value. Single-to-Double Ideal for families who love to be outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this light double buggy turns into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good choice for twins, or children from different age groups and, as a triple tandem, it can handle rough terrain. It's an excellent choice for parents who want a stylish design as sleek as a single and comes in various colors of fabric. This iCandy model is very easy to fold using the use of a single hand. Although it's heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it is very maneuverable, even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot inside. You can buy add-ons like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are great for babies. Our panel of testers found that the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good headrests and lumbar support. There are nipper double buggy for reclining the seats with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having an option to recline. This kind of buggy has the main disadvantage of being wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver between kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers tend to be able to deal with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides, so you can still have plenty of storage. It's important to keep in mind that strollers of this type aren't as adept at getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets and aren't able to cope with a lot of shopping. It's a bit easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths however, even this can be difficult. Some are also easier to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for instance. Convertible The benefit of convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies and have adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in some cases) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single buggie when your older child begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board. This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40 lbs per child and comes with an extra storage basket in between the seats. The spacious canopy with peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and a front and back suspension for smoother rides on rough terrain were appreciated by testers at home. It also has a handy cup holder for the parent and an ample, easy-to-access basket. The backs have tiny pockets, that are just sufficient to hold a phone and a set of keys. This high-end, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 different configurations, and comes with two seats and a 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 for easy schlepping and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat. This versatile tandem is a popular choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that is accessible from both seats facing the parent. Its surprisingly light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Reversible seats mean they can be switched to face either way, and the clever way that it attaches the second seat or riding board to the rear is highly praised by many. Parents also liked the fact that it could accommodate infant carriers and car seats from various brands, including those which aren't usually fit in other double buggies.
