Which Lightweight Double Pushchair Should You Buy? A lightweight double pushchair is easy to move around, especially if you have children of different 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, UPF 50+ canopy and peekaboo windows. It also comes with frames that can be expanded in width to accommodate an additional car seat or an additional passenger. Side-by-Side The majority of light double pushchairs that we tested are side-by-side models and are generally recommended for children that can sit up unassisted since these models tend to lack car seat integration. The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double, and Baby Trend Sit 'N Stand Double, are both excellent choices. pushchair twin Pushchairs And Prams offer recline adjustments for both seats, a large canopy, and padded 5-point safety harnesses. They're also easy to move despite their bigger footprint and are great for parents worried about fitting through doorways. The Cybex Duet is a little different due to its clever frame that extends its width to create another seat, making it smaller than other pushchairs with side-by-side seating on the market. It is able to fit through doors of standard size and is easy to maneuver in public transportation. It is also an jogger which is perfect if you plan to use it in conjunction with an infant car seat or baby carrier. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 double is another fantastic side-by-side double that is lightweight. It provides additional flexibility due to a modular frame. Its clever design lets you to convert it into an individual or double buggy by adding two carrycots or car seats for children. It can even accommodate twins. It's a fantastic and practical choice for families with growing children, and the UPPAbaby also makes one of the tiniest and most fashionable umbrella strollers around. Try the egg2 that folds down to the size and weight of a small suitcase. It can be used either as a double or single by adding two carrycots or baby car seats. Our test subjects were awed by how easy it was to maneuver even with a full load of kids. Even though they are lightweight, double pushchairs that are side-by-side aren't foolproof. If your children are at the same age and stage, they could be fighting over who sits in which seat. If they're at different heights, a tandem style might be more suitable for them since it will allow them to confront each other. Tandem While side-by-side models are best suited to siblings with similar age group, tandem light double strollers have distinct appeals. They can be fitted with a larger car seat, and some have convertible seats or an additional carrycot that is located in the middle. They are bigger and easy to get in and out of. However their baskets tend to be smaller than those on buggies that are single. They often have larger big canopies with windows that peek out, as well as one cup holder for parents and padded leg cushions for children. The iCandy Peach is another example of a good-value lightweight tandem. The fabrics are less expensive than some of our top-rated doubles. But, it looks stunning and is easy to use. One of the most impressive aspects about it is its one-handed fold – although it requires practice, Kirstie in our Lab has said it's “genius”. It can't be folded with the carrycot attached, however the mechanism for attaching and removing it is simple and fast. Tandem lightweight double strollers will typically have tighter turning capabilities than side-by-side models. However, they could be difficult to navigate on uneven surfaces and curbs. They are also slower to accelerate and more heavy to move. This can put stress on your back. A convertible double buggy is an additional alternative. It starts out as a single, but you can add adapters to make it double. It can have an additional seat or carrycot in front, or the children can sit side-by-side. Some can also consider adding a buggyboard, which helps an older child keep pace with siblings who are younger. 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) that create a lie-flat space for newborns. They can be positioned side by side or attached to face each other and you can also use them in conjunction with the infant car seat that comes with the pushchair (as long as you choose the right one). As they're made with quality materials, these types of buggies that are dual-use can be used for many years without showing any wear, indicating they have the highest price resales. Single-to-Double This light double buggy is designed for outdoor-loving family who are looking to upgrade from a single-stroller. It can be transformed into a jogger using the kit that comes with air-filled tires and all-wheel-suspension. It's also a good option for twins or children of different ages and as triple tandem, it is able to be able to handle the rough terrain. It's also a good choice for parents who are looking for an elegant design that's just as elegant as a single and is available in a range of fabric colours. This iCandy model is easy to fold using a single-handed system. It's also heavier than other single-to-double pushchairs in this review, home tester Karolina said that it still feels extremely maneuverable, even with two toddlers and a carrycot in it. The seat can be used with the parent facing, and you can also purchase accessories for this stroller like the Roma Gemini carrycots (PS100 each) which are great for infants. Our test panel found the seats were comfortable for toddlers and had good lumbar support and headrests. There are a variety of options to recline the seats, with the front seat adjustable in different positions and the back seat also having a reclining option. This type of buggy has the greatest disadvantage of being larger than side-byside doubles. This makes it difficult to navigate through doorways and it can be difficult to move up and down kerbs. However the suspension and wheels are generally able to do a good job of dealing with pavements and the fact that they're significantly lighter than the side-bysides means that you still find plenty of storage space. These strollers can be difficult to maneuver through supermarkets with narrow aisles and they might struggle to carry loads. Although it's much easier to turn the stroller around on a small curved path, this can be a problem. Some are more easy to turn than others models, like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double. Convertible The best thing about convertible double pushchairs is that they can adapt to changing family needs. Often, they start as single buggies and include adapters that permit you to add a second child's seat or carrycot, or (in some instances) the car seat to the frame. Some can be converted to a single when your older child starts to walk or prefers to ride a buggyboard. This stylish tri-fold double stroller is among of the lightest strollers on our list. It can hold up to 40 lbs per child and has an extra storage basket in between the seats. Home testers appreciated its spacious canopy with peekaboo windows, multi-position reclining seats and front and rear suspensions for smoother rides on rough terrain. It also has a convenient cup holder for the parent and a large, easy-to access basket. However, they pointed out that the seats' backs have tiny pockets that are not big enough to hold much more than a smartphone and keys. This top-of-the-line, lightweight side-byside can be used in more than 20 configurations and includes an additional seat and carrycot. Its impressive feature set includes an ergonomic handlebar with a high profile for better steering and a rear and front suspension to smooth rough terrain; a self-standing, compact fold with handy straps that make it easy to schlep and seven-inch swivel lock front wheels and 10-inch back wheels with suspension to provide a more comfortable ride. The only downside is that you'll have to buy a separate baby carrier or car seat. This multi-functional tandem is the most popular of our home testers because it is easy to maneuver and comes with an enormous shopping basket that can be accessed from both seats when they are in the parent-facing positions. Its extremely light weight (about the same as some single pushchairs) makes it a breeze to move. Its reversible seats mean that they can be switched to face either direction, and the clever way it can attach 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 that don't normally fit into other double buggies.
