Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A light double pushchair is easy to move around, especially if you have children of various ages. They're typically simple to fold, steer and transport up and down the stairs. This City Mini GT2 offers side-by-side seats with plenty of legroom and reclining that can be adjusted. It also has massive UPF 50+ canopy with windows that peek out. It also comes with a smart frame that expands widthways to accommodate a second car seat and a compatible car seat(s). Side-by-Side The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side designs and are best suited for kids who can sit up on their own since these models tend to be lacking car seat integration. That said 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 huge canopy and padded 5-point harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their larger footprints and are great for parents worried about fitting through doorways. The Cybex Duet is a little different because its clever frame expands in width to accommodate a second seat, making it smaller than most other side-by-side pushchairs on the market. It is able to fit through standard doors and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It also doubles as a jogger which is great when you're planning to use it with a baby carrier or infant car seat. It's also available in a variety of exciting colors. Another fantastic side-by-side light double is the UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double, which offers even more flexibility and customization thanks to its modular frame. It features a clever design that allows you to convert it into a single stroller or a double by adding 2 carrycots or car seats (it can even take twins). It's a great option for families growing. The UPPAbaby umbrella stroller is one of the lightest, sexiest and most stylish available. Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a tiny suitcase. It can be used as a single double by adding 2 carrycots or infant car seats, and our home testers were awed by the sleek and easy it was to use even when stuffed with kids. Even though they are lightweight double pushchairs that sit side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are of the same age and stage, they may still fight about who sits in which spot. And if they're different heights, a tandem model could be more suitable for them since it allows them to look at each other. Tandem While side-by-side models are better suited for siblings of the same age tandem pushchairs are light and lightweight, and have their own charms. Some can fit carseats that are larger, and some have Reversible seats. Others have an additional carrycot or reversible seat in the middle. They are larger and are easier to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than the ones found on single buggies. They often have larger canopy, peekaboo windows and even padding for the leg cushions. The iCandy Peach tandem is another good example of a lightweight tandem that offers great value. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. However, it still looks fantastic and is simple to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold. Although it will require some practice, Kirstie in our Lab said it's “genius”. It can't be folded with the carrycot attached however the mechanism for attaching and taking it off it is easy and quick. Tandem strollers that are lightweight typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they may be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They can also be slightly slower to accelerate and can be heavier to move, which can result in stress on your back. Another alternative is a convertible double buggy which starts off as one-person, but you add adapters to turn it into a double. It could include a second seat, carrycot or both in the front. The children can be seated together. Some of them also have the option of incorporating buggy boards, which can help an older child keep up with a younger sibling. The Uppababy Vista V2 is a good example of a convertible as it can also convert into a twin pram by the purchase of additional cocoons (PS59 each) which create a lay-flat space for newborns. They can be attached 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. As they're made with quality materials, these buggies with dual-use capabilities can be used for a long time without showing any wear, which means they have a the highest price resales. Single-to-Double For families who love the outdoors and want to upgrade their single stroller, this lightweight double buggy transforms into a jogger thanks to an impressive kit that comes with air-filled tyres and all-wheel suspension. It's also a good option for twins, or children of different age groups, and as triple tandem, it's able to handle rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents looking for an elegant design that's just as sleek as a single, and is available in a range of colors for the fabric. This iCandy model is incredibly easy to fold with the use of a single hand. Although it's heavier than some of the other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, our home tester Karolina claimed that it feels very maneuverable – even with two toddlers and a carrycot. You can purchase additional items such as the Roma Gemini Carrycots (PS100) which are perfect for newborns. Our panel of testers found that the seats to be comfortable for toddlers, with good headrests and lumbar support. There are a variety of options for reclined seats, with the front seat adjustable in various positions and the back seat having an option to recline. This kind of buggy has the biggest disadvantage of being a bit wider than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move between kerbs. However, the wheels and suspension are generally able to are capable of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're generally lighter than the side-by-sides means you can still have plenty of storage space. It's important to keep in mind that these strollers aren't as good at walking through the narrow aisles of supermarkets and can struggle to handle a large amount of shopping. It's a little easier to turn them around on the smallest curves of paths, but it can be difficult to turn them around on a straight path. Some are more easy to turn than other, such as the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible The great thing about convertible double pushchairs is the ability to adapt to a family's changing requirements. Most of the time, they begin as single buggies. They come with adapters that allow you to add a second child's chair or a carrycot (in certain instances) an automobile 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 buggy boards. One of the most lightweight double strollers on our list, this sleek tri-fold model can carry children up to 40 lbs each. It also has a handy basket in between the seats for storage. The large canopy with a peekaboo window, multi-position reclining seats as well as front and back suspensions to ensure smoother riding on rough terrain were praised by testers at home. It also comes with a handy cup holder for parents and a large, easy-to-access basket. They did note that the backs have small pockets, that are just sufficient to hold phones and a set of keys. This premium, lightweight side-by-side can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes a second seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering as well as rear and front suspensions to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing compact fold that has straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch rear wheels with suspension for a smoother ride. The only downside is that you'll need buy a separate baby carrier or car seat. This multi-functional tandem is a top choice from our home testers due to its easy-to-maneuver size and impressively large shopping basket, which is accessible from both seats facing the parent. It is simple to move around due to its surprisingly low weight (about the equivalent of some single pushchairs). Many users praise the clever way it attaches the second seat or riding board in the back. Parents also appreciated the fact that it can accommodate infant carriers and car seat from various brands. This includes a few that aren't typically compatible with other double buggies.
