Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy?

It's easy to move around with a light double pushchair, especially if you have children with different age groups. They're generally easy to fold, steer, and carry up and down stairs.

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

Side-by-Side

The majority of lightweight double pushchairs we tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for kids who can sit up on their own, as these models aren't equipped with car seat integration. However they do have a few advantages. Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and the Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double are both great options that provide adjustable recline in both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point harnesses. They are also simple to move around despite their bigger footprint. They are ideal for parents who fret about fitting through doors.

The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its unique frame that extends its width to create another seat, which makes it lighter than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. This means it fits through standard doorways and is easy to maneuver on public transportation. It's also a jogger, which is a great feature if you want to use it with baby carriers or a car seat. It's available in a variety of fun colors.

Another great side-by-side, lightweight double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more customization with a modular frame. The innovative design allows you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or child car seats. It can even accommodate twins. It's a great option for families growing. The umbrella stroller UPPAbaby is one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available.

If you're looking for a more compact, lightweight double seat stroller, consider the egg2 that folds down to the size 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 loved how simple and sleek it was to carry even when loaded with kids.

Although they're light double buggy with carrycot (images.google.co.il) pushchairs that sit side-by-side by side double stroller aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they might still argue over who sits in which seat. If they're at different heights, then the tandem model could be the best option for them, since it allows them to face eachother.

Tandem

While side-byside models are more suitable for siblings of the same ages, tandem lightweight double strollers come with distinct appeals. They can accommodate a larger car seat, and some have seats that can be reversible or a carrycot in the middle. They are more spacious and are easier to get in and out of. However, their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on buggies that are single. Many feature larger canopies, peekaboo windows and even padded leg cushions.

The iCandy Peach is another example of a great value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are a little less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it looks fantastic and is simple to use. Its one-handed folding is impressive. While it requires some time to master, Kirstie from our Lab called it "genius". It's not foldable with the carrycot attached but the mechanism for attaching and removing it is easy and quick.

Tandem lightweight double pram and pushchair pushchairs will generally have tighter turns than side-byside models, but they can be more difficult to drive on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to accelerate and are heavier to move, which could cause stress on your back.

Another alternative is a convertible double buggy, which is initially a single and then you can add adapters to make it into a double. These can include an additional seat or carrycot in the front or the kids can be seated side-byside. Some have the option of including a buggyboard that helps 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 through the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be joined or placed in a row. 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 quality materials and can last for many years without showing any wear. This means they come with the highest resale value.

Single-to-Double

This light double buggy was designed for outdoor-loving family who would like to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be converted into a jogger with kits that include air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It can also withstand rough terrain well and, as a tandem triple, is perfect for twins or children of different ages. It's also a good option for parents looking for a stylish design that's as elegant as a single double stroller and is available in a range of fabric colours.

We loved the way this iCandy model folds down with a one-handed mechanism that's extremely easy to master. And although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs featured in this review, our home tester Karolina said that it still feels very maneuverable - even when she had two toddlers and a carrycot in it.

The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also buy add-ons for this stroller such as the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for newborns. The seats are comfortable for toddlers and come with good headrests and lumbar support. There are plenty of options for reclining and recline, with the front seat being able to be adjusted to different positions and the rear seat offering the option to recline.

This type of buggy comes with the greatest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it isn't easy to maneuver up and down kerbs. The suspension and wheels of these strollers are generally good at coping with surfaces that are paved. They're also lighter than most side-by-sides which means you can have plenty of storage. These strollers aren't easy to maneuver in supermarkets with narrow aisles and they may struggle to carry loads. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths but even this can be difficult. Some are also more easy to turn than others, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double, for example.

Convertible

Convertible double pushchairs are ideal because they are able to be adapted to the changing requirements of a family. They typically start as single buggies and include adapters to add a second seat, carrycot or (in certain instances) the car seat to the frame. Some even convert to a single as your child grows older and begins to walk more or wants to ride on a buggy board.

One of the lightest double strollers on our list, this stylish tri-fold model is able to hold children as heavy as 40 pounds each. It comes with a convenient basket that can be placed between the seats to store things. Home users loved its spacious canopy that has windows that can be seen from the outside with multi-position reclining seats as well as front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they pointed out that the backs of the seats have tiny pockets that aren't large enough to hold more than a cell phone and keys.

This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. It has a high-profile steering handlebar, rear and front suspensions to smooth out rough terrain, it folds compactly and can be folded up with straps to make it easy to transport and seven-inch front wheels with swivel locks as well as 10 inches back wheels with suspensions to ensure an easier ride. The only drawback is that you'll have to purchase a separate car seat or baby carrier.

This versatile tandem is a top pick from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket that can be accessed with both seats facing towards the parent. Its extremely lightweight weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move around. Many people praise the clever method of attaching the second seat or riding board to the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant car seats and carriers from multiple brands, including some which aren't usually fit into other double buggies.
