Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? It's easy to move around in a light double pushchair, especially if you have children of varying ages. 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 features adjustable reclining, large UPF 50+ canopy and windows that peek out. It also comes with a frame that expands in the width to accommodate an additional car seat or an additional passenger. Side-by-Side The majority of the lightweight double pushchairs we tried were side-by-side models. These are best for children who can sit without assistance, as they aren't as likely to have car seat compatibility. However there are some exceptions. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both excellent options that offer adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are perfect for parents worried about fitting into doorways. The Cybex Duet pushchair is unique because it has a clever frame that expands to accommodate another child seat. This makes it slimmer than other side-byside pushchairs. It can fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger, which is ideal if you plan to use it with an infant car seat or a baby carrier. Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. It has a smart design that lets you turn it into a single stroller or a double by incorporating two car seats or carrycots (it can even take twins). It's an outstandingly practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of 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 or double with the addition of two carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to use, even when fully loaded with children. Side-by-side lightweight double pushchairs aren't foolproof however — if your children are of the same age or stage they might be fighting over who rides in which seat. If they're at different heights then the tandem model could be best for them, as it allows them to face eachother. Tandem While side-byside models are more suited to siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with their own appeal. Some can accommodate an extra car seat, while some have reversible seats. double buggy converts to single have an additional carrycot or reclined seat that can be flipped in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get into and out of. However the baskets they use tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out as well as a cup holder for parents and cushioned leg cushions for the young children. The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. The fabric is a bit less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is awe-inspiring. While it requires some practice, Kirstie from our Lab described it as “genius”. The carrycot cannot be folded while it's attached. However, the process to attach and remove the carrycot is quick and easy. Tandem double pushchairs are light and lightweight. They generally make more precise turns than side-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive over bumps and uneven surfaces. They may also be slightly slower to pick up speed and are heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is another option. It starts out as a single, but you can add adapters to convert it into double. It could include an additional seat, a carrycot, or both in the front. Children can share a seat. Some have the option of including a buggyboard, which can help an older child keep up with younger siblings or brothers. The Uppababy Vista V2 can be transformed into a twin-sized stroller by purchasing additional cocoons for PS59 each. These cocoons provide an open space for infants. They can be joined or placed side-by-side. 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 of high-quality materials that can be used for a long time without showing any wear. This means they have a high resale price. Single-to-Double For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade from a single stroller, this lightweight double buggy can be converted into a jogger thanks to an innovative kit that includes air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It also handles rough terrain well and it's a tandem triple that is suitable for twins or children of various ages. It's also a great choice for parents who are looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours. We were impressed by the way this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's really easy to master. It's heavier than other single-to double pushchairs, but our home test Karolina says it's still very mobile even with two toddlers and the carrycot. You can purchase additional items like the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with excellent headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclined 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's generally larger overall than doubles that are side-by-side which makes it more difficult to maneuver through doorways, and can be tricky to manoeuvre up and down kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension on these models generally do a good job of handling paved surfaces, and the fact that they're usually lighter than the side-by-sides, means you still find plenty of storage space. It's worth bearing in mind that these types of strollers aren't as efficient in getting through narrow aisles in supermarkets, and may struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's easier to turn them around on the smallest of curved paths but even this can be difficult. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they are able to adapt to changing family needs. They are typically single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or a carrycot (in some cases) an automobile seat to the frame. Some can even convert back to a single as your older child begins to walk or prefers to ride on buggy boards. This stylish tri-fold double stroller is one of the lightest on our list. It can hold up to 40 lbs per child and comes with a storage basket between the seats. The spacious canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats and front and back suspensions to ensure smoother rides on rough terrain were well-loved by the home testers. It also comes with a handy parent cup holder and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they noted that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to accommodate anything more than a phone and keys. This light, high-end side-byside is available in more than 20 different configurations. It also comes with a second chair and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, front and rear suspensions that smooth rough terrain, an ultra-compact fold that stands up on its own with straps that make it easy to transportation, and seven-inch front wheel with swivel locks as well as ten-inch back wheels with suspensions for a smoother ride. The only drawback is that you'll need to purchase a separate baby carriage or car seat. This multi-functional tandem is the top pick of our home testers due to the fact that it is easy to maneuver and has a large shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its light weight (about the same as a few single pushchairs) makes it easy to maneuver. Its reversible seats mean that you can flip them to face either direction and the clever way that it connects the second seat or riding board to the rear is praised by many. Parents also admired the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from a variety of brands. This includes some that are not normally compatible with other double buggies.
